                               Rise

Sense My Spirit, My child. Walk into the light. Hold nothing back. Let 
My perfect love cast out all fear. Rise. Rise with your Morning Star, 
with your King. Feel my grace and mercy surrounding you. Let it sustain 
you, let it nourish you. Let it be the motivation and the foundation. 
Who are you in Me? Beloved, precious, apple of My eye. Draw close. Draw 
even closer. Rest in me. Be seated. You are a perfect fit. 

Sense My presence at all times. I call you encourager, lifter, called by
God, appointed and anointed. Gifted, worthwhile, valued, cherished.
