                        I Am In Charge

Child of Mine, trust Me that I have all things under control. They may
not go precisely the way that you expect them to go, but I am indeed
in charge, and I hold all things in My hands.

There are divine plans and purposes behind some of what happens to you
that don't match human reasoning, or that go beyond human comprehension.
There are some things that I simply choose not to explain to you because
I want you to trust Me. You don't have to understand what I am doing or
why I am doing it, all you need to know is that I am good and I am
faithful and I am in control.

Yes, you need to know that I am in charge. You need to know that no
matter what I allow to come your way, I will never give you more than
you can bear and I will never stop loving you. There are times when I
will require a lot from you; but in those times, I will give you the
grace and strength that you need. When I allow hardship or difficulty
to come your way, I want you to know that I will never stop loving you.
I want you to know that I am with you and that I will never abandon
you. I want you to know that I have a plan and a purpose to bring My
glory into your situation.

When My Son stood in the Garden of Gethsemane and prayed, He did not
want to go through with what I was asking Him to endure. From a human
standpoint, it looked horrible beyond measure. It was not an easy
thing that I asked Him to do at that moment, but it was a thing that
I poured My glory into and it was a thing that I used for great good.
If it were not for what He did for you, I would not be speaking to you
now.

Likewise, child of Mine, there will be times when you stand in your
Garden of Gethsemane and you look at what lies ahead and shutter. Yes,
there will be times that I call you to go through difficult or unpleasant
times. I want you to know that I do not do this lightly, and that I have
a great plan and purpose in what I ask of you. I want you to know that
as you trust Me and step forward in obedience to endure the difficulty,
I will both strengthen you in the task and pour My great glory into
your situation. I will use it for God and I will advance My kingdom
Then, when the task is complete, I will raise you up and you will stand
in My strength and you will walk in My glory.

Child of Mine, I want you to trust Me in your difficult times because I
am in charge and I know what I am doing. I will indeed work My glory in
your situation as you place your trust in Me.
