Beloved, hear My voice and you will not follow another. Paul said, “Follow me as I follow Christ.” How could He say this unless the very goodness and mercy he received by following me then emanated from his life to those who followed him ? unless it left deposits of Me everywhere he went?

Beloved, I am slow to anger and abounding in loving-kindness (Psalms 145:8). I know all have sinned and come short of My glory. I know this about you and yet My mercy is without end. I give it to you each and every morning fresh and new. I give mercy each and every moment without fail. I not only have mercy for today but have planned for the days ahead.

I do not want you to fear about those things going on about you. You are my Mighty Warrior. The enemy trembles when you lift up your hands, for he knows the calling and anointing I have placed upon you. Don’t you worry about what others may be saying around you. Some of it is fear, and some of it is jealousy. Just keep your eyes on Me.

In the deep recesses of your soul, My Word has left an indelible mark. I contain the stamp of those promises. You savor and relish them in the silence of your heart. Always hoping, waiting, anticipating and believing, you are My compassionate, faithful one.
