Words & Whispers

I hear the Lord say:

I love you with an everlasting love. There are many distractions in life that pull you away from My presence.  Remember I AM present in all things: all events and circumstances that surprise you don’t surprise Me. I hold all events in My hands. Each day, recount and proclaim the goodness of the Lord.  Keep in the forefront of your mind that I stand beside you every moment. Our journey is one of love, laughter, adventure, trials, suffering and comforting.

I weep when you weep.  I rejoice when you rejoice. You have seen trials draw you closer to Me. As a carver planes a wooden beam to smooth it out, removing splinters and imperfections, I gently sand away your rough edges. The sandpaper may feel unpleasant but it’s temporary and it’s necessary. A beautiful carving is in the making… one that reflects My glory.

Every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be made low;

the crooked shall become straight,

and the rough places shall become level ways,

and all flesh shall see the salvation of God.

Luke 3:5  ESV
