My dear children, you are my delight. I want you to sit in that reality. Let the warmth of my presence flood you; let the warmth of my presence heal you. My face is turned towards you, and I am sending my angels to you on your journey to more of me. My children, just turn your face back to mine, lift up your eyes, and look at me. And remember I am where your help comes from as you step into more fellowship with each other. My children, seek my face and be transformed by the love you see looking back at you. I’m not only calling you out of hiding and out of shame and out of the shadows, but I am calling you—follow me—yes, follow me into the unknown and let me love you there. Let me tell you great and mighty things that you did not already know. I am with you every single step of the way. Sometimes you’ll be given a glimpse into what I’m doing, and at other times, I will ask you to walk by faith. But no matter where we are on the journey, my love, just seek my face and I will be your steady presence. I am taking you by the hand, and I will not let go, no matter how far away I may feel to you… my closeness is reality. My closeness is YOUR reality. I am with you, and I am holding you up with my righteous right hand. I am never leaving you or forsaking you. Take a moment with another believer today and join your faith together and say aloud, “Our Father is never leaving us. He is never forsaking us. He is not like man, that he should lie. He watches over his word to perform it, and he loves us with an everlasting love.”
My child… I have drawn you to myself and this place. Do not worry about anything; cast your cares on me, for you are my child, I care for you, and my oil looks beautiful on you.
Love, Dad

“Our Father is never leaving us. He is never forsaking us. He is not like man, that he should lie. He watches over his word to perform it, and he loves us with an everlasting love.”
