A precious friend sent this to me recently during this time of Holy darkness that seems unending. I was very blessed, encouraged and delighted to find that it was also on the internet and being shared with many already. But I thought I would share it here with you and may it dearly bless all those going through their trials and struggles, their dark nights and feeling discouraged because the time is taking so very long. Do not let doubt move in and overtake you.
We must continue to trust in Him who is Faithful.
Beloved One:
Don’t be discouraged! I am doing a deep work in you. There are many things you have cried out for in the depth of your soul. Many things that seem to have taken forever to come forth…..don’t despair during this time. I have heard your hearts cry…and your voice is sweet to me… Your break through is coming….I have held some of you back to protect you, and others has been because I am not quite ready to bring you forth in my time clock says the Lord. It is as the story of Joseph….he was prepared in secret, in the pit of the prison and over night his release came. I wasn’t ready for him to emerge until the right moment in time…it wasn’t that he hadn’t embraced the testing’s of the Lord, he did, and he learned and he submitted to my discipline…he learned obedience through the things he endured and suffered…as have you! The time is coming and is before you that the sweetest release and break throughs are before you. Hold on, don’t get discouraged….keep plugging along….there is light at the end of the tunnel and it is in your sights Beloved One!!! When your break through comes you will thank me for my perfect timing!!!
Proverbs 25:11 “A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold In settings of silver. Like an earring of gold and an ornament of fine gold Is a wise rebuker to an obedient ear.”
Lovingly,
