             I Am Holding Out My Hands To You



My children I have often wanted to tell you how much I love you.  I am 
delighted with your desire to love My Word. I love you and wish to tell 
you this, but do you love Me?  Do you trust Me? If you love Me, you must
also trust Me.  You will not fear.

I have a great storehouse of gifts and I desire to give them to you.
If you want My gifts, you must first give Me your trust.  I have the 
ability to change your fears into joy, your worries into confidence, your 
mourning into dancing. I specialize in changing your negatives into 
positives, if you will just give them to Me.  

I am holding out My hands to you, do not leave them empty.  Do not hold 
onto your fears and worries, they are an offense to Me.  I desire to set 
you free.  I desire to replace them with tears of joy and gladness.
I am holding out My hands to you, do not leave them empty.

You honor Me when you trust Me with those things that you are ashamed of.
You glorify Me when you trust Me as Lord.  You give Me great joy when 
you show Me your love. Lift up your hearts to Me, give Me your small 
gifts -  your worries, your uncertainties, your fears.  And I will give 
you My great gifts.  I am holding out My hands to you, do not leave them 
empty.
