I chose you

Child, I have called you. I have chosen you by name. I love you more than you could ever know. Don't doubt my love for you in the midst of your trials. Don't fear that I won't extend My hand. I have promised to fulfill all your needs according to my riches and glory. I know all things and I know all your needs. I give to you little by little so that your security is in Me and not in the things of the world. I give little by little so that you learn to depend on Me and not the riches of the world.

My child, I desire to give you good gifts, but I gave you all the gifts right now you would be overwhelmed. Child, I know how much you can handle and I have promised to not give you more than you can bare. This promise goes for the good things as well. I desire for you to seek Me, to know Me, and be secure in Me.

Come to the table and we will feast. The gifts are coming. My blessing is coming. Don't think that I have removed My hand from you - on the contrary - I am pressing you. I am shaping you. I am molding you. Don't resist what I am doing - for this is the time of breaking and threshing I have told you about. Allow Me to break you and allow Me to rebuild you. You will be so much more beautiful than before.

I am creating and molding you to be My vessel. You are My chosen vessel. I chose you - you did not choose Me. I chose you to go and bear fruit - fruit that will last I chose you to go and be a bearer of light, a teller of truth, and a doer of good deeds.

And you will go. You will speak. You will see My glory fall around you, but we must first finish the molding, the breaking, and the reshaping. I will counsel you. I will teach you. I will instruct you in the way you should go. I began a good work in you and I will be faithful to complete it.

Trust Me, My child. I love you. I chose you.

Pressing on and pressing in,
Kristin =)
