        For Those Who Are Not Secure In God's Love For Them


Child of Mine, you are very precious to Me. So many times you think
to yourself, "I want to please God and make Him happy."  Don't you know
that very thought and that very desire pleases Me immensely?  Child
why are you so willing to believe that I am a hard God to please?  Why
are you so willing to believe that I might disqualify you or cut you
off from intimate relationship with Me?  Why are you so willing to believe
that I don't want to take good care of you and meet your every need?
Why do you think that your relationship with Me is different than My
relationship with you?  Why to you think it is one-sided?  Why do you
assume you have to struggle and perform to please Me?

Don't you know how greatly I care for you?   Don't you know that you are 
the apple of My eye?  Don't you know that I desire intimacy with you every
bit as much as you desire it with Me?  Don't you know that I desire to
reveal Myself to you?  I want to give greater measures of Myself to you even 
more than you desire it from Me.

Child of Mine, My love for you is not conditional on the level of victory
that you walk in from day to day.  I do not love you less when you have
a difficult day and I do not love you more when you have a victorious day.
I do not look on the actions so much as I look on the desires and motivations
of your heart.  When I see a heart that is set after Me, it pleases Me 
greatly. 

Child I have seen you -- I have looked at your heart and seen that it is
set after Me.  And I am greatly pleased with you because of this.  Now I am
going to demonstrate My love to you over and over again until you begin
to become secure in it.  I am going to make it real to you just how much I
love you and just how much you please Me.  

For it delights My heart when you seek after Me with your whole being.  And
just as you have pursued Me, so now will a more tangible manifestation of My
presence pursue you.  I am going to show more of Myself to you.   And I am 
going to make My love and My acceptance more real to you.  I am going to 
cause you to know My pleasure and My delight, that your joy might be full.  
As you have had a heart for Me, so do I have a heart for you.  Receive My 
blessing this day, for it is surely upon you.  I am your God, and I am 
pleased with you.  Receive my pleasure.
