              Trust Me With All Of Your Heart

Little one, you tell Me that you trust Me with all your heart--but the
truth is that you don't really trust Me as much as you think you do.
If you trusted Me with all of your heart, then you would not be afraid 
that I might disqualify you every time that you fall short. If you 
trusted Me with all of your heart, rejection would have absolutely no 
power over you, and the words of condemnation that the enemy speaks to 
you would roll off of your back like water off of a duck's back. You 
would never have to worry about being passed by or left out. You 
would know with absolute assuredness that I am for you and that I am 
good and that I will do good things on your behalf. You would not worry 
about finances because you would know that I have placed the resources 
of Heaven at your disposal, and that I am actively at work on your 
behalf.

I love you dearly, little one, and I am glad that you have put your 
faith in Me. But your faith still needs to grow and increase. I want 
to bring you to new levels of hope, faith, and trust; where you are 
100% secure in My great love for you. I want to transform your heart 
so that you do not feel anxious when the circumstances around you 
appear to go poorly; because you know with absolute certainty that I 
will move in on your behalf and take care of you. 

Yes, dear one, there are times when I will put you into a difficult 
circumstance, so that I might glorify My name through your situation,
but I am still at work behind the scenes for your good. I did this with 
Moses and the children of Israel when the Egyptians pursued them to the 
shore of the Red Sea. It looked hopeless in the natural, but I always 
had a plan--I was not caught by surprise. I did allow them to come into 
what looked like a scary place, but I always intended to rescue them and 
to glorify My name in the process. So when the time was right, I parted 
the Red Sea and let them pass through on dry land. I sent My angels to 
confound the enemy army so that they could not overtake them. I brought 
My people through safely, and then I closed the Sea over their enemies, 
completely removing the threat from them.

It is true that this was very frightening for those who followed Moses 
out of Egypt. But the only reason that this was so scary for them was 
because they had not learned to trust Me. They should have known, deep 
down in their innermost being, that I was going to take care of them in 
a spectacular way that glorified My name. If they had fully trusted Me, 
then the armies of Egypt would have never caused them any fear or alarm.

I want you to learn to live in a place of trust, where you know with 
absolute certainty that I am taking care of you. I want you to be able 
to sleep in the boat in the midst of the fiercest storm, just like My 
Son Jesus did. The disciples feared the storm greatly, and woke Him so 
that He might rebuke the storm. But He knew that storm had no power to 
harm Him because He had placed Himself in My hand. He trusted Me 
completely, and fear had no power over Him. That is why He could sleep 
in the midst of the storm--He knew that I am faithful and that He was
safe in My hands. 

Dear one, I want you to have that same assuredness. I want you to learn 
what it means to truly trust Me, for I am faithful to take good care of 
My own. When you learn to fully trust Me like My Son did, then you won't 
be afraid or anxious--no matter what circumstances may come at you. 

Come to Me dear one, and let Me reveal Myself to you that I might teach 
you how to walk in that level of trust.
