Beloved, there are many soils of time. There are many seeds to be planted and many seasons of life to navigate. Each one is equally important and in need of specific revelation or manna in order to move on. Each field which needs to be cleared in preparation, each soil in need of sanctification, each season in need of understanding are meant to be habitations to many varieties of plants. From the seasonal, which we discussed, to the perennial, the evergreen, the clinging vine and so many more. Natural things I have created are the bearers of eternal truths. Natural things have knowledge and great truths to share if only they are allowed to do so (Jeremiah 8:7 Amplified).

Seeing I have been perfectly capable and trustworthy to hold the times and seasons in place, I am more than able to handle and help you navigate the seasons of your life…more than capable of giving you counsel just as I gave it to David in his night seasons (Psalms 16:7).

Take confidence in who that you are in Me for I chose you…picked you out for My very own before the foundations of the world to be blameless, above reproach before Me in love. How I do love you…ahh…how I adore you this very moment. Receive My Beloved…just receive (Ephesians 1:4).

It is all about knowing the worth and the value I place in and on you. You are more than the birds of the air, more than the sparrow or swallow and yet I care for them (Matthew 10:26; Psalms 84:1-4; Luke 12:6). If I think it is important enough to number the hairs of your head, don’t you think I care enough about all the promises and dreams of your heart. Of course I do. I am not limited to the ability of any man to keep his promise. I am the Promised One and I am the Promise.

I restore all things no matter how much was done in your generational line…in your ancestry without thought or submission to My Word. I am not limited by man’s failures through acts of omission or commission. I am simply God and that is that…the end…enough said…no more to be argued with…cannot be disputed…cannot be thwarted…and most of all…I cannot be prevented from making all things new. In fact, I make a way where there was not a way before. In other words, I make something out of nothing. I have no limits or limitations. Therefore, what I need is for you to agree with Me and faint not. To faint is contrary to living as the overcomer I have already made you to be (Galatians 6:9).

Like a child marveling at a firefly in his hand, I marvel at you. I know this seems odd. After all, since I know everything, how could I marvel so? Well, it is all about love. It is all about seeing you come in to the fullness of the image of who I am in you. It is truly an adventure which I give My whole attention to.

Therefore, seize the day and the beauty it holds (Hebrews 10:23). Cling to and hold fast the Word of Truth you have received with joy and confidence. Acknowledge with your voice and shout from mountaintops of insurmountable odds that I who promised am reliable and faithful to My Word…that I who established the earth from its foundations and framed it with My words am capable, willing and ready to establish your life as I proclaimed it to be before the worlds were formed.

Let these words sink deep into you conscious mind through meditation and declaration. Through this process they will make their way to the deepest recesses of your subconscious thoughts and perceptions. Let My words of love reprogram your thinking about who and what you are to Me, who and what you were created to be. Today is a day of growth, beginning a whole new season of increase in your life. Today is a day to be renewed in your mind (Romans 12:2)

However, there are many who recognize you are different and precious in so many ways. They see Me in you and the realization that you are MY Beloved One who will stay with them. When they least expect it and just when they need to be encouraged to have faith, I will bring you and all I have done for you back to their remembrance. The faith they remember in you will be ascribed to Me and in turn they will have faith. Faith is contagious and spreads with great intensity to open and seeking hearts.

Beloved, you are never separated from Me. In order for separation to happen, I would have to leave…to come and go depending on your actions or attitudes. I would have to be only a fair-weather friend. That would not be much to die for now would it? Where would your security be if I were only a fair-weather friend? How could I set you in a large place or be your strong tower (2 Samuel 22:20)? I am unchanging, immovable and invincible to the very end (Isaiah 41:4).
