	           Stand Still and Receive


Stand still My child and receive. You have stormed the gates of heaven,
you have been faithful, you have called out, you have searched. Now stand 
still and receive. I have heard you and I await to bless you, your joy 
has been in the seeking, for it was something you could do.

Now I ask that you be still, be quiet, be peaceful. and accept.  Believe, 
have faith, know wisdom, I am here rest in Me, allow Me to touch your 
heart, to embrace you. You are Mine, you are My treasure, My precious one. 
Give up fear, I am not man that I would lie or disappoint you, I will 
never abandon you. My greatest joy is to hold you close and care for you.

My comfort surrounds you and blessings abide in this day for you -- just 
be still and do nothing -- I am in control, I am in charge. I direct 
hearts as streams of water, as mighty rivers, as the rising and the setting 
of the sun. Be still and know that I am God.
