(Father, please help me to learn the lessons that the Holy Spirit is trying to teach me. I sure do make it hard for Him.) My Child, I know how it is to want to be all that the Father wants you to be, but cannot. My death on the cross was to carry you over the rough times. This means that I know you cannot be perfect, but as long as you DESIRE to live in obedience free of sin and you truly SEEK that kind of life, when you mess up, My death on the cross has you covered. Everything hinges on the deep rooted motive of your heart. This the Father sees clearly and accordingly will cover your actions….. sometimes unwise actions. (Thank goodness for this Blanket of Grace over us!) Make sure that you truly do seek My Way of life though and you resolve daily to live according to the Holy Spirit’s guidance. If you do, I promise to bring you along growing closer to Me and more like Me in the Father’s Image.
Rest now and stay close.
