Journals of the Heart

“And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose” (Rm. 8:28 NIV).

My Child, I take what the enemy means for evil and use it for good. All things work together for good for those who love Me and are called according to My purpose (Romans 8:28). I have heard every word spoken to or about you. I am aware of every deed of darkness perpetrated against you. Remember this when tempted to wonder if I care. Your name is tattooed in the palm of My hand (Isaiah 49:16).

You are like a fragrant rose in the garden of life. The world may not admit that you are a rose; however it knows it to be so. This is why the enemy is so resolute in his attack. He doesn’t want you to believe it. Most of all he wants you angry at the people who inflict pain, hurts or speak unkind or thoughtless words.

If you become angry or bitter you become a victim and not a victor. I am calling you to a higher way for in Me you are an over comer, a conqueror (Romans 8:37). Trust Me (Psalm 37:5). Take your thoughts captive, and sit your face like flint in My direction (2 Corinthians 10:5, Isaiah 50:7). Let Me into the garden of your life. I will nurture and care for you right where you are.
