                        My Acceptance Of You

I have accepted you as you are because I created you as you are. I had a 
special blueprint for your life that was unique to you and no one else. 
You were and still are to accomplish My will for your life as you lean on 
Me for your life support. But somewhere along the line, the deceiver 
wedged his way into your life and began to fill your ears with lies about 
yourself. The more you listened, the more you believed that he was right 
and you then began to question whether you were who I said you are.

I Am the I Am. I created all things. The earth and the sea are Mine.  Hear 
Me, for as surely as I Am, I do not make failures. In you I see the 
potential to be great warriors, men and women of valor who will bombard 
the kingdom of darkness. In you I see the potential to be great businessmen, 
dealing with the arts.

You know what talents and gifts I have given you for the glory of My name. 
Yet you have forgotten that you are a threat to the forces of hell, for 
hell itself trembles as My mighty ones, strong in Me, advance to storm its 
gates.  Satan knows he cannot stop the power and the anointing that 
proceeds from you, and so he knows that the only way to bring you down is 
by undermining your self-worth and sowing seeds of discontentment.

Do not give him credence in your life. I have given you My word and the 
authority of My name. Go forth, knowing that no weapon formed against you 
shall prosper, knowing that if I am for you, who can be against you. Come 
unto Me therefore, and experience My rest. I stand at the door of your 
heart and knock. Let Me sup with you.
