                        I Am Your Substance

I am your substance and your life.  I am your provision.  There is 
nothing you need that I cannot provide for you.  Do not think that
I am unwilling to take care of your needs.  I am a loving Father who
takes good care of His children.  Have I not told you to ask, seek 
and knock?  Then do it.  Look to Me for your provision, and I will 
provide for you.

Know that I am able to multiply your meager resources to become more 
than enough.  I multiplied the widow's oil and flour to last her 
the entire duration of the famine.  I multiplied five loaves of
bread and two fish to feed a multitude.  I am able to supply abundantly 
and I will supply for you.

You have heard the saying, "be it unto you according to your faith."
Do not fear that you don't have enough faith to trust Me to take 
care of you.  My care comes from My goodness, not from yours.  You do 
not have to earn My love, it is freely given to you.  I loved you even 
before you turned from your sins to Me.  So child, your faith does not 
have to be perfect to please Me, it merely has to be "good enough."  
What is good enough faith? It is the faith that says, "God help Me to 
have more faith, because I don't seem to have enough."  It is faith 
that looks to Me for every provision, even for the provision of faith 
itself. Any time you come before Me and tell Me of your shortcomings and
needs and ask Me for help -- then it is enough faith -- providing your
heart is truly set before Me and you are committed to honor and obey
Me.

I am good and I am faithful, and I will be faithful on behalf of My
dedicated servants.  I will be faithful on behalf of those whose
hearts seek after Me and are committed to Me.  I will be faithful
to you, child of Mine.  I love you because you belong to Me.  And I 
will take good care of you, and I will supply your needs. I am your
substance and I am your provision. So, watch and see what I will do 
for you.
