                I Have Given You A Hope And A Future

I have given you a hope and a future in My Son.  I have commissioned you
as My servant and I have adopted you into My family.  And I have good 
plans for you. And your joy shall be full as you do them with Me.

I have custom-made you for the destiny that I have chosen for you. I have 
created you perfectly and I have designed you for a purpose. And you will 
experience joy and satisfaction as you walk with Me in that purpose.  
Know that the things I have given you to do for Me are important to Me -- 
child, I have trusted you with true responsibility because I love you.  I 
have given you important kingdom tasks to perform.  And I am with 
you to help you, so that you do not fail in them.  

Child, My spirit is within you and My anointing is upon you -- and I will 
cause you to be successful in all that I have called you to do as you 
submit to My Spirit and follow My direction.  I will lead you and I will 
guide you and I will walk beside you and I will manifest Myself to you 
and show you My glory.  And as you invite Me into each of your situations, 
I will come into them and bring My glory into them and work in them for 
My good and to accomplish My purposes.

Child, your sins are forgiven and I have called you to eternal joy and
delight.  And I am with you, in this life, to strengthen you.  For it is 
My desire that your cup runs over and that your joy is full, both in
this life and in the life to come.  Yes, I have given you abundant life 
and I have also given you abundantly of Myself. I am with you and I am 
in you and I am drawing you closer to Me.  So do not fear the future, 
little one, for I am with you.  I will fill you with My peace and I will 
cause your joy to be full, for I have given you a hope and a future.
