My child, I LOVE you.

I love who I made you to be.

And I love how you are pursuing walking in it.

I am everything, and I am in everything.

I have purpose in everything and I will show you My ways.

I will show you the way to walk and what you should do, and not do.

You need this and you will need this as you have more and more opportunities to do things.

Seek Me—My Presence—in it all.

I have not planned too much for you.

I did not create people to be overwhelmed or frazzled or exhausted.

This is why I require a Sabbath.

I created My people to work and rest.

And I created My people:

· to take time

· reset

· and remember what they are grateful for

· to sit with Me and worship

· and be aligned with My purposes.

It is here that you find clarity.

If anyone is uncertain or confused about anything,

they are to set aside time and rest in Me.

To soak in My Presence.

To read My Word.

To remember what I have done, and what I have promised to do.

I have given My standards for what love is because I know all things.

I know that all of My creation NEEDS to love Me and love others

for each one’s life to function well.

I have given My standard for obedience because I completely know, 100%,

the enemy that wages against you.

I know the open door he has access to… when you do not follow My ways.

I know the destruction he brings.

I know the doubt and accusation he will taunt you will

if you stray from following Me.

He will deceive you if you do not seek and follow MY TRUTH.

Then he will offer you pride which will tell you that YOU can choose whatever you want.

It will lie to you and tell you that you can do anything you want…

because you are a free person and no one should tell you what to do!

But once you choose pride, you become aligned to him—your enemy,

who now has a hook in you.

I give each person the choice:

· who will you believe?

· who will you follow?

· who will you serve?

And ultimately, everything leads to either:

· Me—who loves you, created you, and has given you the promise of being in Me and with Me for all of eternity.

· My enemy—satan—who hates you. He will offer you the momentary pleasures of sin trying to separate you from Me so that he has access to steal, kill, and destroy you.

What will you choose?

~ With Me, I require you to believe and obey Me… which opens the door to ALL of My goodness and abundant life. In My presence is the fullness of joy! Everything good you have ever wanted is found in Me.

~ With satan, you can do whatever you want… which gives him destructive access to every part of your life. Here you will become addicted and enslaved to the things you once wanted. For he, the enemy of your soul, is a cruel taskmaster. He sadistically delights when your relationships break down, your health fails, your loved ones experience harm, your finances crash… and you have no peace or joy in your soul.

Your choice determines what you get!

And if you do not choose…

you will be sucked into the ways of the world—which leads you bound and captive into the enemy’s camp.

Oh, how I love you!

My beloved, choose Me, choose to live in freedom!

· Choose to discipline your flesh now.

· Choose to resist sin and follow Me.

And when you do, you will enjoy the forever results of My abundant life.

Which is so, so good.

Only My ways will fulfil and satisfy you.
