Who is on the throne?

I am in control. Dwell on that fact. Digest it. Internalize it. Savor it. I am in control. Even when your world is spinning out of control, I have not let go of you. Release your tight grip and rest in the fact that I AM IN CONTROL. Nothing shall hurt or befall you that has not been filtered through My hand first. Rest in the fact that I am in control. I have seen and I have heard and I have known. It has not caught me off guard or by surprise. I am in control dear one, allow me to do the work that I have purposed to do. In your continual submission to my hand, the work goes easier and faster. Rest in the fact that I am in control. Take it from your head and hide it in your heart. I am in control. Rest in Me, and rest in the fact that I am in control. For no matter how much the evil one would cloud the issue with his lies and schemes, it is a fact, I am in control. You are cherished and loved and I will never let you go.

Time and Attention

Granting you time is not a chore for Me. You do not have to capture My attention to turn Me from other things. When you want to be with Me, I am not distracted, you are not competing with the baseball game or the telephone or others you believe I think are more important. You have My full attention - always. I am ever watching you intently, even aware of when you begin to turn your thoughts toward Me and to breathe My name.


Neither do you need to work at getting my attention. There are no prescribed prayers, counting of words, or anything else you feel you must do to capture my attention. You already have it. I watch you intently, all the time. When you head for your prayer closet, my heart is already leaping, and I am saying, "oh boy!!!" You don't need to shout to let me know you are here!



Just quietly come. I am already waiting for you, loving you.

In the Stillness...

My child, My ways are higher than your ways, and I see the whole plan. Each of My children are unique and I treat them and interact with them where they are at, and by who they are. Each of My children are special. Because I encounter one as a judge, and he tells you about it, that is not the extent of who I am. When I encounter another in a way that births a fiery passion for lost souls, that too, is not the extent of who I am. Be careful not to let how others experience Me dictate to you who I am. To each child I reveal a slightly different facet of who I am, and as you come together and share the facets, then you all have a greater picture of who I truly am. If an earthly father gave each of his children on piece of a jigsaw puzzle, he does not intend for his children to go around saying that they have the full knowledge of him. He intends them to come together and put the pieces together to find the full picture. None of the pieces is better, or more valuable, or more important than the others. Yet as some pieces, such as the corners and the edges, lay the foundation and bring structure and a plan, neither are those pieces the full picture. It takes all the pieces together to see the full picture, and if even one piece is missing, while it can be realized, the picture is incomplete. Besides leaving a hole, it leaves a sense of disappointment and incompleteness. So because I treat one child in one way does not make him more important, or more special, than the others. Each piece of the puzzle is important to bring about a full revelation of who I am, and what I am doing in the world today.
