                   Fear Not, Neither Be Dismayed

Fear not, neither be dismayed. I am here. I am within you. Desire Me 
mo re than your next breath, for it comes from Me. I will not leave you 
Fatherless. I will not leave you desolate. I will never desert you. I will 
never abandon you as one would for something useless. You are Mine. I have
created you. I know all about you. What you desire. What you need. You
are My Love, My child. 

I do not see your shortcomings because of the blood of My Son. I will 
always love you with a love that you cannot understand at this time of 
your life. Soon you will understand the concept of My enduring and 
endearing love for you. 

Come to Me and I will hold you as you desire to be held. Your pain is 
deep but I can totally heal all of it. I will totally complete that 
which I have started in you until the day of your homecoming. Come unto 
Me totally. Do not leave anything for yourself or for others to use for 
their benefits. Do not give your will to another. 

I have paid the penalty for your sin and you are free--for whom the Son 
sets free is free indeed. Look not at the darkness of your past. You are 
a new creation. You will be able to use the pain of your past to help 
others to come into My Kingdom. I am healing your pain. Do not pick the 
scab off for then it festers up and becomes infected again. Let My healing 
balm heal all your pain. 

Think on My love for you, and it will complete you. It will consume you. 
My love for you will never stop. It is everlasting. I have created you to 
bring glory and honor and praises unto Me. I will be with you the rest of 
your days. 

I will help you obtain the desires of your heart but you must be in total 
obedience to Me. Obedience is the utmost sign of worship to Me. Without 
obedience, your singing sounds like noise to My ears. Without obedience, 
your prayers are just idle words to My ears. Without obedience, everything 
that you sacrifice in your life is worthless. I desire obedience before 
all else. 

Come, come unto Me. I am your reward, your Redeemer.
