                        Turn To Me

Have faith in Me. Open your eyes and see what I have provided for you.
Open your ears and hear My words. Let My spirit flow through you. Take
heed that your faith is not shaken despite the circumstances which
surround you. Lift up your head to Me; sing My praises just as My
servants did when in jail. Remember how I freed them. 

Do not let what happens in this world separate you from Me. Take heed 
against this world that it does not pull you from Me. Seek Me and you 
will find Me for I am near you, I have never left you. Remember this 
world is only temporary, I offer you eternity. I will sustain you through 
all that is to come. Do not be discouraged at the storm that is rising 
for it shall not last nor prevail against you if you remain true to Me 
and My Word. I will calm the storm and its waters will recede. 

Let My spirit flow through you and lift you up to where I desire you to 
be. Rejoice in Me. I desire a people that praise Me no matter what faces 
them in this world. I desire a people that seek Me and wish to 
communicate with Me. I desire a people whose heart is toward Me and 
the things I have for them. I desire a people that will not let the 
cares of this world overwhelm them but will work with Me to overcome 
all that opposes them. 

Come to Me and I will show you what it is you are to do. I know what you 
are facing and what is to be and I know the safest path for you to take 
to get through it.  Take My hand and let Me be your guide down that path. 
Walk with Me, spend time with Me, let My presence overflow your spirit. 

Find your joy in Me and in doing My will, not in the mundane things of 
the world. Hear Me for I desire to help you but you must trust Me and 
spend time with Me. I know what is best for you but you must follow Me 
above all else.
