About His Will for My Life: Message 9

Message #9:  Live in Love and Hope, not in Fear

Live with confidence in the fact that I love you.   There might be many voices telling you how much they love you.  Some of them you will believe, others you will not.  The important thing I want you to know is that I am the ONLY ONE capable of loving you the way you need to be loved.  Depend on Me to reveal to you those individuals you can trust to love you, and in return who you can trust to love.  Live in hope, not in fear. I do not impart fear to anyone.  If you are afraid of anything or anyone, consider the source of that fear.  I am your Protector.

You will have challenges, you will make mistakes, you will experience setbacks, and failures. People will give you negative messages and criticize what you are trying to do. People with ulterior motives will try to hinder you or want to control your work, especially when it is successful. Your success might be delayed, but it will come. I am your Sustainer.

Christmas 1956 sticks in my memory. We were getting ready to leave Missouri where Mel had served his tour of military duty at Ft. Leonard Wood, Missouri in the Army Corps of Engineers. I remember walking to work for the last time to the doctor’s office where I worked. The trees, power lines and shrubs were all covered with ice from an ice storm.

Message #5.  Live above the annoyances of life, they are only distractions to keep you away from our mission and the important things in life.  Keep focused.  Ask yourself if the situation at hand is really worth your time, effort and energy. Do these distractions make you feel weak and drained? Are they keeping you away from more important things that you need to be accomplish according to what I have asked you to do? I am your Strength.

Message #3. Don’t give in to other people’s expectation of you. Dare to be different. Dare to change what always was or is. Just because it has never been done before, does not mean that it can’t be done at all. Understand that at times people will base their expectations of you on their own experiences and agenda. Make sure that you rely on My agenda for you and My expectations of you. I am your guide. I am your Defender.

During the process of knowing God, exploring my identity, and understanding His will for my life, I received valuable messages from Him that I want to share with you.

For many years I struggled to REALLY know God. I questioned who He is and why He allowed me to be born. Many people tried to answer these questions for me. However, I realized that some of their responses came from their experiences, fears, pain, disappointments, hurts, opinions, value and belief systems.

As a victim of domestic violence, it is easy to become preoccupied with what the abusive spouse/significant other is doing. I have struggled with this myself as I navigate my current situation.

He watched me everyday as I walked by his home from school. I was 14 years old. This day he decided that he would approach me. He told me that he had noticed me for a while and wanted to talk.

When Jane first contacted me, it was difficult for her to share her story. She had many fears. Would I believe her? Would I be confidential? How would I relate to her?
