Thus saith the Lord...
Give me you heart, your mind, and your soul. As often as you come to Me, renew you vows before me; keeping in mind all those things which I have spoken to you in the past, and with which you agreed: for you are my word to you as my word works in you. You are the sum total of the parts of those things my word has performed in you, and not less. I will not work from what you have forgotten, neglected, or abandoned in your weakness, unless I find a good reason within the trials of your faith. For I do not always expect you to come forth as pure gold at the outset, or purge all the dross from the silver without many firings. But there is a point at which I will make you another vessel, if you are unwilling to yield to the present process at work within your soul. You have waited upon me at many seasons in your life, and I have been faithful unto you, even when restoration did not come at the time or in the way you expected. Hear my voice now and understand that every conversation we have is a lively thing within your soul, wherein you are engaged with me and submitting yourself to me by simply listening to my voice and quieting your own within this time of sharing. As often as you lose the thread of our conversation by some outward distraction you pause and clear your mind and listen more closely again, which increases your capacity to hear me both for yourself and others; for there are many distractions even in your ministry to others as you hear them crying out within their hearts, minds, and souls in unbelief, or hoping against hope, or desiring the wrong things. So shall you bring their distractions as imaginations back down under their feet, so they will be able to receive a sure word for the future walking in a plain way.
Amen.
