Return to The LORD, and He Will Return to You!
The LORD knows what it takes to inspire you.
He knows the thoughts He has toward you when you feel that things don’t add up in your life, or don’t make sense.
He sees when you attempt to make something work when you feel like you are falling short of your own expectations.
But every act of faith toward Him causes Him to take a step toward you.
For He says; “Return unto Me and I will return unto you!”
Yet you say, “How shall I return? I feel so useless, nothing I do seems to work the way I thought they should. I have no money. I have no real friends. I feel like all I have is an empty life. What could I possibly return to You with?”
“My Son, give Me your heart, and I will show you the way. I have been watching over you with Godly jealousy.
I have known you since you were forming in your mother’s womb. I watched over you as you were developing into new-born baby you became.
I have been brooding over you, watching over every step of growth in your life. I saw when you fell, I saw when you rose up from the ground. I see that you are becoming far more than anything that could ever hold you back.
I see you as The Radiant Bride who has finally found who she really is.
I see you as the leader of The Remnant that comes forth victorious from the battlefield.
I see you as the mountain climber who is stretching with every step, gaining every foothold necessary to reach the summit.
I see you as man of God, who is called to Ministry in the Gifts and calling of God.
I see you as the called out one, listening for The Voice of The LORD, standing upon the ramparts, waiting to see what I will say to you.
I see you seriously considering how you will answer Me when I call you out from among them, and I see you being transformed by the renewing of your mind.
I see you proving with your life what has been, and what will be the good and acceptable, and Perfect Will of God.
I see you giving of yourself of what I have placed within you.
I see the seed I planted in you bringing forth the harvest of the planting of The LORD, that I may be glorified.
I see you having faith as small as a mustard seed that is bearing much fruit, growing into the tree of righteousness, the planting of The LORD.
I see you having faith in the Word That Is Sent. For I have been sending forth My Word that will not return to Me, cancelled out. My Word is performing the very purpose for which I sent it.
I see you as the believer in the promises I have been giving you, for ever promise I have given you is My very intent in your life.
My Words will not fall to the ground, they are accomplishing far more than you have ever seen.
Yet the Revelation of these things are your portion. Faith is the assurance of things hoped for. It is the evidence of things not seen. (Hebrews 11:1).
Now humble yourself in the sight of The LORD. Though your sins have been like scarlet, I will make them white as snow.
Though your iniquities have been like crimson, I will make them as wool. Return to Me and I will return to you. For My promises are “Yes,” and “Amen,”” says The LORD.
“For without faith it is impossible to please Him. For he that comes to God must believe that He is God, and that He is the rewarder unto those who diligently seek Him.” Hebrews 11:6.
