Filled With Fear and Dread!
I saw a Child of God. She was filled with fear and dread of the things going on in her life and of the things happening around her in the world.
She couldn’t understand why she was going through such hard times, both emotionally and physically. She was beside herself with grief and hopelessness.
And I saw Jesus come and wrap a beautiful quilt around her. It was made up of the most beautiful patches of all the things that had happened in her life.
Past, present, future. They were all different colors, with every color of the rainbow and beyond, both dark colors and light colors, created from the hardest of times of her life to the most joyous times.
There were even black ones, representing those loved ones who had died before her. But when they were stitched together, they made up a beautiful story, a beautiful tapestry, representing the story of her life.
It was so intricate, no human hand could have accomplished it, and it was totally unique, a one of a kind blanket created just for her.
It was a Gift from the God of All Comfort, her Abba Father.
When she felt the Warmth of His Love and saw the Beauty of this Glorious Quilt, she realized everything was going to be okay. She knew that God was working all things for her good. She knew she was covered forever.
Beauty was coming from the ashes, her mourning was being turned into dancing!
Some day you will see your life and it will be a beautiful tapestry, like a quilt with many different pieces all coming together to make something beautiful. That is what your Abba Father does.
“Beloved. Do you not know that I work all things together for your good? Yes, My Child.
I AM He, even He who brings good out of the darkest times, My Child. My Light will always overcome the darkness.
Though your spirit man is perfect, you still live in a flesh body in a fallen world. You have emotions and sometimes your soul is downcast and disturbed within you. I understand, My Child. I AM the God of all Comfort.
But keep your hope in Me, Beloved. I see the end from the beginning. I will keep you warm with My Love.
I AM turning your mourning into dancing; I AM peeling off your sackcloth and clothing you with a Quilt of Joy, that your heart may sing praises and not be silent.
Your faith has immersed you into Jesus, the Anointed One, and now you are COVERED and CLOTHED with My Anointing.
It is a Covering made for you. It is a Beautiful Tapestry of your life. You are precious and every one of your days is written in My Book.
Every time your heart turned to Me in faith, a new patch was made. Every time My Name was upon your lips, My Light stitched the colors of the rainbow upon your Blanket.
Know this, Beloved: Your God works all things together for the good! You are hidden in Christ.
Every day of your life is a beautiful combination of colors and hues and intricate patterns stitched together by My Hand.
You will look back one day and see the beautiful tapestry of your life. Until then, hide under My Covering, be warmed in the Comfort of My Love, in your Quilt of Many Colors.”
INTRICATE : Having a lot of small parts that are arranged in a complicated or delicate way: Detailed, elegant, exquisite.
QUILT : 3-layered stitched bed covering. Quilts have layers that help you keep warm. The stitching, which connects the layers, can be both functional and decorative, making each quilt unique and a true work of art. Quilts have served many purposes throughout history, from providing warmth and comfort to being a form of artistic expression. The blanket represent a refuge, protection and even a friend when a child is alone. Just like David, hiding in a cave from Saul found refuge in the Lord, choosing to hide in Him. You are HIDDEN in Christ.”

Wow! Beautiful word! Thank You Jesus!
Thank you!!! Dealing with multiple circumstances hitting all at once AGAIN, and am feeling very forsaken and alone at times. What a fantastic encouragement!!!
Thank you Jesus
I am indeed immersed in Jesus, I got baptized today! Hallelujah!
About a month ago I had been thinking about Acts 2:38-
[38] Then Peter said to them, “Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
And I heard it a few times from others as well so I told God if it was His will that I be baptized then He would make a way, otherwise I wouldn’t. (I was unsure if I needed to because I had been baptized when I was 13 but was not born again until I was 32)
Well Time to Revive ministries came by my small town in montana and they just happened to have a mobile baptism truck which I had never heard of before. So I hopped into the bath and got baptized! Thank you God for making a way.
Grazie Signore♡
