WHAT DO I SEE?

Listen Child,

I am calling you to Myself this morning, I want you to listen to Me and understand: I look at a person’s heart to know them.  Nothing outside a person can make them “unclean” or “evil”.  Defilement does not come from the air, or the world, rather it comes out of a person’s heart.  Be wise and understand; it is what is in your heart that keeps you from Me. 

The heart brings forth goodness, or it brings forth evil.  A heart that is far from Me will show it by the deeds and thoughts that come out of it, and so it is with a heart that is close to Me.  Examine your heart My child: When I look at your heart do I see goodness, kindness, generosity, lack of anger; do I see joy, a desire to grow, and a heart that wants to submit to Me?  Draw near to Me that I might cleanse your heart and bring you into purity through a close relationship with Me.  Let our hearts be one.

Mark 7:14-23

Father, help me to see my own impurity that I might bring these to Jesus and allow him to cleanse my heart and change me.  I easily see the sins of others, but somehow I justify my own weaknesses.  I know this walk with you is a process, help me to grow a little each day.  Change me; change my heart.  Amen.

I do all this for you!

Dear One,

You know I am faithful and will strengthen and protect you from the evil one.  Have faith in Me, put your trust in Me and try not to worry about the future.  I will encourage you day by day through My word because I love you.  Through Me you can experience eternal encouragement and good hope.  Let Me strengthen your heart for every good deed and word.  I see your faith growing more and more every day, I see your love increasing.  I have cause to boast about your perseverance and faith in the trials you are enduring.

When you belong to Me you are counted worthy of the kingdom of God.  Know this: I constantly pray for you, that you may be counted worthy of your glorious calling.  By My power you will be able to fulfill every good purpose of yours and every deed that is prompted by your faith.  Others are watching and I know they see Me in you according to this grace that is given to you through My loving sacrifice. One day when all deeds and thoughts are revealed your faithfulness will glorify Me and the Father.

2Thessalonians 3:3 ~ 2 Thessalonians 2:16-17 ~ 2 Thessalonians 1:5, 11-12

I thank you Lord for your faithfulness to me; you are always available to encourage me and give me strength.  Help me rely on your power to do the things you have called me to do.  I want others to see you in me.  Help me be faithful!  Amen.
