KNOWLEDGE AND GREAT PEACE IN THE PRESENCE OF GOD

Children, do you understand
that the sum of all knowledge could not be contained in all the
libraries, schools, book stores, with all the full shelves on earth?
Surely you know that your Heavenly Father created all things and all
knowledge! In fact, there is no volume in the world large
enough to contain all the knowledge about one of you, my created
child! There is a humanly immeasurable vastness of knowledge
that exists now! Knowing all this, I am intimately and lovingly
interested in you and those that you love! I take the
deliberate and careful time to think of how I am going to bless you
each moment of the day. Minute by minute, hour by hour, I place
my tender hand upon you, when you don't even feel it, and order for
your heart to beat, your blood to flow through your circulatory
system, and your brain to send signals to all parts of your body.
This regulates your life and causes you to grow and thrive. In
fact, if I removed my hand from your body, you would not just die,
you would cease to exist. I won't do that, I think too highly
of you for that! Did you hear me, I think too highly of you for
that to happen! Child, if you could estimate the love that you
have for the most important person in your life, and multiply it by a
million, you would still fall far short of the genuine compassion and
tender love that I, your Father in Heaven have for you! It's
true! With that spoken, why are you so troubled about your life
and how it will go? Did I not say, "Take no thought for
tomorrow, what you shall wear, eat, drink, how to be clothed?"
(Matthew 6:33) To whom do you think I am speaking these words
from your Bible? To you, of course! You are straining at
following your Father. You are breaking your neck at times to
please your Father. Stop it! Slow down! Think:
"Father, you're right, I couldn't do enough good or bad to
cause you to despise me or not love me!" I will stop
performing to gain your love." Don’t you know that
while you were lost in trespasses and sins, “Christ died for
the ungodly?" (Romans 5:6) The Son of God died for you just
as you are! Rest in His love for you! In fact, talk about
his love for you. Tell others about his love for you! It
will make you feel good! This is the best day of your life.
Today you will find new depths of peacefulness in the presence of
your Father in Heaven. Go slow! Take a deep breath!
Rejoice!
Prayer
Father,
what have I been doing? I have struggled for so long to
make myself acceptable, when all along I have been wonderfully loved
by you! You can't stop thinking of me and my best good.
You watch over me with powerful vigilance! You bear me up with
protective love. I give you praise and thanksgiving, Father in
Heaven, and I do so through and in the mighty name of the
Lord Jesus, amen!
