Who has prepared and done this, calling forth and guiding the destinies of the generations [of the nations] from the beginning? I, the Lord–the first [existing before history began] and with the last [an ever-present, unchanging God]–I am He (Isaiah 41:4 Amplified)How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him. (1 John 3:1 Amplified)

I am ever present with you, no matter what you may be experiencing or feeling. I am present in all your trouble (Psalms 46:1) I am not bound by your emotions or situations. I am Your ever adoring and loving Father who delights in you every moment of your life (1 John 3:1). I particularly enjoy your times of quiet rest. Your times of respite are very precious to Me and enable Me to speak in ways I otherwise could not.

My heart aches as I see the abundance of My table and yet there are empty chairs. Every empty chair is an aborted plan, an aborted destiny, a missing piece of My heart. So many lose the simple truth of what it is all about. It is about love flowing like honey from the Rock, from My heart. It is all about love…all about love….all about love. O’ may I remind you, it is all about love? Yes, it gives Me pleasure to say you are one I can remind, for it is your desire too.

Like a child born causes the pain and suffering of the birth to disappear, the emergence of the pearl from its cradle of formation causes the irritation, the abrasiveness of the sand to fade away in the light of His glory and grace…to display a pearl of great price…to display us…yes, you and I…the body of Christ.

What is adverse possession? An example of adverse possession would be the following. Suppose a neighbor built his fence a few feet inward on your property. You know they have done so; but, choose not to dispute the placement of their fence. You could lose possession of that part of your land because you did not step up to reclaim the land rightfully yours. The enemy does the same. He uses fear and a myriad of other tactics to set up fences on the land, the hopes and dreams I have given you.

The power of God to separate any and all darkness from or in our lives just as He separated the day and night just as He did in Genesis 1. I so loved the world—the—cosmos…so loved the original intended order I set up in the Garden that I gave My Son. I gave My Son in order to possess what the devil took by adverse possession…by squatting on unattended or forgotten land. I so loved the world and all it contains, which includes you and everyone else, for I desire none to perish (John 3:16, 2 Peter 3:9).

There are beauties of My glory, yet untapped and I am going to show them to you. I am opening them up before your very eyes, enabling sight into a realm not seen before. I am drawing you to drink deeply from My sweet nectar—to drink deeply from My presence. I am wooing you with love. I am drawing you with kindness and I am washing you with the water of My Word.

To abide in Me doesn’t mean you will never fail. Don’t be afraid of failing. The motive of your heart to rest in Me—to abide in Me—brings such utter delight to the very depths of My heart.

How precious and weighty also are Your thoughts to me, O God! How vast is the sum of them! If I could count them, they would be more in number than the sand. When I awoke, [could I count to the end] I would still be with You” (Psalms 139:17-18 Amplified)

What it means to be the apple of God’s eye:For thus said the Lord of hosts, after [His] glory had sent me [His messenger] to the nations who plundered you–for he who touches you touches the apple or pupil of His eye: (Zechariah 2:8 Amplified)
