"Examine me Lord,
Find out everything that may be hidden within..."
Does uttering those words bring fear to your heart, dear one?
Does the thought bring a sense of dread, an "Oh my," a downcast countenance, anxiety or shame?
It need not...
Your Shepherd, your Friend
Examines your innermost being with a Loving Gaze...
He sifts through all your cares, worries, stress, and weaknesses,
With one intent,
To bring you back.
To bring you back to His glorious, everlasting ways...
He sorrows to see you on the path of pain.
He wants you on that path that brings you back to HIM...
Back to Shalom,
Nothing missing...
"Yes, Lord, I gladly welcome Your searching gaze, Your examination...
I want to be on that path that leads to You!'
Psalms 139:23,24

Darkness Was Never Intended for You
Darkness was never intended for you,
Your Father never intended for you to be surrounded by darkness.
You say,
"Darkness is my friend. It is all I know or have known for so long..."
But the cry of your heart is..."Help, I am suffocating!"
My friend, there is HOPE.
All the questions,
All the doubts,
All the accusations you have thrown at your God, your Creator, the One who loved you into being,,,
He hears,
And He forgives...
He looks at you dear one,
And desires wholeness, desires freedom. desires restoration for you.
All the lies the enemy has dumped upon you,
All the broken promises, traps, and hidden snares,
Have only brought you deeper into your darkness...
His intent,
To strangle, steal, destroy, and crumble your dreams and destiny.
But the greatness that was placed in you by your Creator,
Cries out,
It cries out for freedom...
My friend, the One you have been rejecting is your source of HOPE.
He sees all,
Yet passionately loves you and wants you to discover His Help.
He has provided a way for your rescue,
He has paid the price for your freedom, your victory, your wholeness.
Come to Him,
Call out to Him,
Believe that your God is good,
Believe that He paid the price for your shame and guilt,
Believe and receive the gift of this One,
Jesus.
He is Light.
When you receive His gift of love...
The chains of darkness will fall.
His love sweeps it all clean.
His love restores,
His love returns,
His love conquers,
His love always wins...
Friend, believe that your God is good,
Believe that He loves you,
Believe that He is life, He is Light, He is the way out,
Believe that He is your HOPE
His faithful, steadfast love will never fail you!
Your Father never intended for you to be surrounded by darkness.
You say,
"Darkness is my friend. It is all I know or have known for so long..."

He Fully Wants Me
He fully wants me,
He wants to reach into my heart,
Have my permission to unlock,
Open it up...to more of Him...more of His goodness.
He whispers,
"You have only begun...even in your weakness of faith...
Could you open up your heart, my beloved, to receive more of Me?
In your inability to hope, to see past today...
I want you to know more of Me...
So you can dream with expectation again.
Any pleasure you have experienced, any delight you have realized,
Is nothing compared to the "more" that I have for you."
"Precious one," He continues, "I delight for you to have Me fully!"
He wants to reach into my heart,

Do Not Be Afraid
What do you see today?
Does the mountain before you appear huge, impassable?
Do all your troubles seem to cover the landscape, like sand on the seashore?
The Lord sees something different...
He comes and says, "Do not be afraid."
"I am with you today." He reminds me.
"I know what will happen to those enemies, those troubles,
You can not see...but I can...I know,
And I come to you now to remind you, "
"Do Not Be Afraid!!!"
"I am with you on this journey,
I will fight for you...sustain you... be right there beside you to provide for your every need.
Tomorrow is in My hands,
Tomorrow is in My vision...clearly...
I see victory!!!
Trust
Do not be afraid!!"
Joshua 11:4-8

My Tied-up Bundle
That tied-up bundle of His suffering love,
I need to keep near,
Close, so I can remember and partake...
Yes, especially in the night, the dark times, when the world seems cruel...
I need to have my bundle, my tied-up bundle,
Right there on my chest,
So I can breathe in that suffering love,
So I can breathe in the sweet henna blossoms of His longings and desire for me,
So I can remember His suffering love and the work that He did for me on the cross,
The work He accomplished so He could have me in this life union, this constant companionship with
Him,
This work He accomplished so I could be forgiven, healed, restored, free from the addiction,
free from the torment.
Yes, the finished work of the Lamb,
Who poured out a never-ending fountain of provision with His blood,
Suffering because of that great love He had for us...
That sweet bundle of myrrh...
Fragrant with suffering redeeming love...
I breathe you in...remember..and partake...right now.
"My Lover is to me like a tied-up bundle of myrrh resting over my heart throughout the night."
Song of Songs 1:13 TPT
