Journals of the Heart

I placed you within My garden and I have always been with you. I surround you and I have been watching your development with great anticipation as I wait for your complete emergence (Psalms 125:2). I have and am pulling away every hindering strand of your cocoon one filament at a time. I know sometimes it seems almost at a standstill. Have you ever seen slow motion photography as a flower unfolds? It is the same for you. Sometimes it seems very slow and at others it seems as if things suddenly appear. Every filament removed has a progressively larger affect. After all, I am the God of multiplication.

As I hold your heart like a beautiful instrument under My covering I feel it come to new life. Yes, your heart is like a supple peace of clay in My potter’s hand and I turn it, forming it in to what I already know it to be (Isaiah 64:8, Proverbs 21:1). I see so far ahead of you. The only thing able to stop this process is your unwillingness, your fear of somehow not measuring up.
