                      Receive


Why do you fear man and what he can do?  Look at the sunlit hills and see
the grass that covers the soil.  Look at the rivers that run through the
lands and the birds that fly above.  Do you see them worry and toil?  Do 
you see them restless in the night with their worries?  I have promised 
you that you mean more to Me than all the wonders your eye can see, so 
why do you worry?  Do you still not know that I have good gifts for you?  
That you are a tree planted by streams of living water?

You have a gift before you and it is not sealed, it is not chained and
hidden away.  It is yours.  I give freely; now receive.  Receive all 
that I have for you, for My storeroom is full to overflowing and waiting 
for you to take what I offer.  Cast all your cares and worries upon Me 
and remember them no more, for I am He who can carry them, who can change 
them, who can rearrange them and bring good out of the bad that you see.  
Yes, I am He who is more than capable to give and to bless abundantly.

Take the gift I have offered you.  Open your eyes to Me and take them off
the cares of man, that kill and destroy.  I have good things in store for
you.  I have good things, new seasons, times of changes, times of movement,
times of healing, times of victory, times of abundance, they are all in Me,
they are all for you.  You cannot see when you are weighted down with the
cares of this world.  You cannot see if you do not look to Me.  Give them
all to Me, the small ones and the big ones, all the cares and the worries
and the pains that try to pull you down.  You are not alone anymore.  You
have Me.  We walk as one.

Remember this.  When you walk the right way the enemy will come and try to
tempt you.  He will come and try to fool you.  When this does not work, he
will try to confuse you, then he will distract you.  Do not listen, do not
be deceived.  You know My promises, you know that I am the one who owns 
the cattle on a thousand hills, you know that I am the one who allows the 
sun to rise and the sun to set. You know I am the one that sends the rain 
and you know that I provide all that you need for everything that comes 
your way.  I will give you strength when you are weak, I will give you a 
way out when you are tempted, I will heal when you are sick, I will 
restore all that the enemy has stolen.  You know that I am He.  You know 
that My promises are yes and amen.

So do not worry about man and what he will do to you, for greater is He 
that is in you than he that is in the world.  Oh rejoice and worry no 
more for there is a table laden before you with good gifts; there are 
gifts waiting for you.  Good things, pure and wonderful; all you need to 
do is accept them.
