If you fail
remember, hell is filled with people who cannot say, “I’m sorry.”
If you fail
know that My love, grace and mercy are as high and as deep as My standards of holiness. What you cannot obtain, is given as a gift, which is received through the beauty of heartfelt repentance.
If you fail
lift up your hands, grab hold of My cross and let Me pull you up.
If you fail
it doesn’t mean that I have stopped loving you, you have just stopped trying.
If you fail
learn from your lessons. That’s what they are there for.
If you fail
know that you do not have a High Priest who cannot be touched by the feelings of your infirmities; but was in all points tempted as you are, yet without sin. So come boldly to the throne of grace that you may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
(from Hebrews 4:15,16).
Let us lay aside every weight, and the sin that so easily besets us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith. Hebrews 12:1,2
You can’t see Me, you can’t always hear Me, but I am always holding you.
When You Lose
When you lose
in this realm, it is made up for in the spiritual realm. This will be a comfort to you depending on which realm you value the most.
Where your treasure is, there will your heart be also (Matthew 6:21).
When you lose
don’t keep looking back. Remember Lot’s wife. She became immobilized and could never move forward.
Forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
(Philippians 3:13, 14).
When you lose
remember all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to His purpose (Romans 8:28).
When you lose
remind yourself that whatever you have lost in this life is temporal anyway.
The eternal is forever, and is safely waiting for you in Heaven.
I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ
(Philippians 3:8).
When you lose
remember Who won.
But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord
Jesus Christ (I Corinthians 15:57).
I Know Where You Are
I know where you are.
You live and move within My being. I am always with you, so there is no trial or season or place where I don’t know where you are.
I know where you are, standing at your Red Sea, trapped at the edge of impending disaster. You are so upset you cannot hear My laughter. Little one, I know where you are. Laugh with Me, and praise My glory as you wait for your miracle.
I know where you are.
Circumstances beyond your control have thrown you into the fire. Your eyes are on the flames and you cannot see Me walking beside you. The bondages to this life that held you when you were cast in here are the only things that I will allow to be consumed in this flame. Reach out and take My hand. Together we shall stroll through the fire. Do not be afraid. I know where you are.
I know when you have been thrown into a den of temptations that are roaring about you like lions seeking to devour you away from Me. Keep your eyes steadfast upon Me and the Light you see will blind the eyes of your inner enemies and hold them at bay until the morning of your release. I am suffering with you, and isn’t it a glorious thing to endure this with Me? I cannot wait to place upon your head the crown of overcoming victory!
I know where you are.
When the loneliness of four empty walls surrounds you, when friends and family are gone and there seems to be nothing that can hold and keep you - be strong. I know where you are. Like life that suddenly revives within a tomb, you are surrounded by the One who makes all things new. Arise and shine! I am the One who alone can create something beautiful out of nothing. I bestow your future upon you like an everlasting gift. Come open it with Me and do not fear the road ahead,
for I will always know where you are.
For in Him we live and move and have our being....Where shall I go from Thy Spirit? Or where shall I flee from Thy Presence? If I ascend up into heaven, Thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, Thou art there. If I take the wings of the morning and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea; even there shall Thy hand lead me, and Thy right hand shall hold me.
Acts 17:28, Psalm 139:7-10
