                        Have You Forgotten?

My beloved child, have you forgotten that I made the earth by My 
strength? Have you forgotten that I established the world by My wisdom?
Have you forgotten that I stretched out the heavens by My discretion? 
(Jeremiah 10:12)  

Yes, beloved, I the Lord your God did all these things because I am a 
powerful God. I created the universe and all that is in it and I sustain
it because I am a good God. You are Mine and I know you intimately and I 
know everything about you. I who brought order to the universe will 
bring order to your life. I established the world and sustain it moment 
by moment. How much more will I do this for your life, precious Child, 
the life that was made in My image? 

Let Me bring order to your life, beloved. Let Me breath My design and 
My plan into your life, the life I hold so dearly in My hands, for you 
are My child and I am deeply in love with you. When you trust Me, I will
direct you in My ways, in ways of holiness and righteousness.  As I 
stretched out the heavens, so will I stretch out My plans for you--plans
to give you a hope and a future.  

All that I have are yours, beloved child. I did not spare My only Son, 
but gave Him up for your redemption. How much more will I give you all 
things? But I am a God of order and not disorder. Just as I ordered the 
universe into existence so will I order your life into holiness and 
righteousness. That's right, My love, just as I am Holy, I require you to 
be holy. 

Do not resist My working within you, for I desire My work to bear the 
image of its designer. Your life will bear My good and perfect 
reflection as you yield your spirit, body, and mind to Me. Be not 
discouraged about what you will eat, drink or wear, but look to the 
God who made the earth in His power, established the world in His 
wisdom and stretched forth the heavens in His discretion. How much 
more will I order your life step by step, day by day, in order to bring
forth the fruits of righteousness and holiness? 

You are Mine, beloved and I am still your Maker, Father, and Sustainer.
