Ah, Child

I care about you; I know your thoughts and delight to give you good things. Why would you want to avoid Me? The struggles in life are worth pursuing; the reward at the end is worth all the faltering here and now. This is training. You need to keep going, keep trying. You are mine, and I’ve called you to live a certain kind of life, not an easy one, but the best one. I want to be a part of your life; I want to fill you up and use you and make you a beautiful instrument, a fitting vessel. I can help you make it through hard circumstances. It is worth it to submit your heart, with all its desires, to Me. I will not trample a contrite, humble sacrifice such as that…
