You... chosen by Me

You are My servant
Chosen by Me
to do and go and be
faithful and trusting
obedient to My commands
bringing fruitfulness
into your life
glory unto Me
blessings to yourself
and those around you.

Not always
trusting
have you been
Listening instead
to others
even within the church.
Actions taken
resulted in a closed door
Not meant for you.

Do not fall away from
My path
Stay true to Me
and Me alone
Do not give in
to feelings
of dismay
and discouragement
but be built up
by what you know
in your heart
to be true
and right.

I have not cast you away
I AM right here beside you
I will strengthen you
I will help you.

Wait
when the answer you seek
is slow in coming
for you know
your thoughts are not My thoughts
and your ways are not My ways.
My thoughts, My ways
are best.
Wait on Me.
Your weaknesses
will be strengthened
by My power.

Dwell with Me
Spend time throughout your day
with Me
Do not fear
Do not let your mind
wander down paths that cause
irritation, sadness, worry, anger,
disgust, jealousy.
Be fruitful
Fill yourself
with kindness, gentleness, goodness,
faithfulness, self-control, patience, joy,
peace, love
and multiply.
Share with another

Show your love for Me
in all you do
in all you say
in all you are.

Remember …
I AM with you always.

(based on readings in Isaiah 41)
