You must win at things in your life in order to feel accomplished. You must fail at things in life in order to learn. You must encounter darkness in order to appreciate light. Without suffering consequences of bad decisions, you would never learn the benefit of good decisions. The life I have designed for you is full of peaks and valleys; good situations and bad ones; good people and bad people. These things are all meant to teach you, grow you, mold you, and build character so that you become who you were designed to be for Me, in My eyes. Human opinions shouldn’t matter, don’t matter. They won’t matter, if you abide in Me.
I want you to believe and know that I am with you at all times, in EVERY moment. No human can say that to you. No human knows your heart and understands your deepest pain. No human is aware of what shaped you during childhood and no human can help you heal from those old hurts. I am with you in EVERY moment. I have been since before you were conceived and I will be until long after you leave earth. Trust in that. Know that I have the very best intentions for you throughout your entire journey and w/o Me that journey will not be the best possible journey.
When I designed you and planned your life, it was for a specific purpose. You were given gifts, by Me, to help you fulfill that purpose. Abiding in Me, listening to Me, seeking Jesus first, every day, will allow you to live the life I planned, using the gifts you were given. This will impact all the people you come into contact with, throughout your life. Know that every human life is intertwined with others. Life on earth, all life, is a perfectly choreographed series of events and situations that I designed for My glory in order that you each will have access to the eternal life promised through Jesus’ work on earth. For satan, it is all a game. He waits in the darkness, as he is darkness, to trip you up, steer you in the wrong direction. He uses your weaknesses to draw you away from Me. He lies constantly, as he is unable to be truthful. Know that… he is UNABLE to be truthful, for I am the truth. Abiding in Me will protect you from his lies. Focusing on Me at the start of each day, dedicating that day to Me and our life together will help shield you from his distracting lies.
