                               For the weary

This is for the weary, for the heavy-laden, for those who have fought 
the good fight and feel as if they can't fight anymore. The battle 
has scarred you. And you feel as if it has overtaken you. Know this 
My children: the victory is secure. The victory is yours. You have 
won the battle.

Though you are tired and weary and feel as if you can't take another 
step, I say to you - stand. Stand firm and know that you know that I 
am the God of victory. I AM that I AM. I have made you to be an 
overcomer. Nothing that comes against you will overtake you. I am 
making you to be unshakable. The world is being overturned and those 
whose feet on planted on sinking sand will fall. But not My children, 
for their feet are planted on the firm foundation of Me.

Come to Me, My children and find rest in the secret place. Come to Me 
battled scarred and I will heal you. Don't fear Me because of your 
wounds. Don't be ashamed of the dents in your armor. Look to Me. 
Those who look to me are radiant their faces are never covered in 
shame. Come to Me and be still and know that I am God. Allow Me to 
minister to you. I will renew your strength. I will do great and 
mighty works on your behalf. Come to Me and allow Me to fix your 
armor, to heal your soul, to refresh you and fill you with peace and 
joy so that no matter how the battle tarries you will be able to 
stand.

Come. I will give you rest.
