TREASURED FRIENDSHIP

“My GOAL for your life is that we would develop a TREASURED FRIENDSHIP. I desire to be so intricately bound with you that I AM the FIRST thing you think about in the morning and that I AM the LAST thought you have before drifting off to sleep. When you are this close to My heart, nations can SHAKE and you will REMAIN SECURE in My LOVE, PROTECTION, and POWER. When you know Me FACE TO FACE and you know that I AM FOR you—even when you miss My leading or you fall into sin—then you can truly ENTER MY REST and MY PLANS for your life because you know that I AM GREATER than your own heart and STRONGER than anything the enemy might try to bring against you. I AM the great and most high God but I AM also a FATHER who longs to have you CLOSE to Me and FOREVER ENJOYING our relationship. You don’t EARN My love by doing good things and trying HARDER not to sin. My love is ALREADY FULLY GIVEN to you, and I have PROVED that by allowing My Son to carry your sin and to die in your place. If you will continually SURRENDER to that love, if you will FEED on My written Word, and if you will SPEND TIME with Me, you will find you are being CHANGED from GLORY to GLORY. You will SHINE for Me and DRAW others to My PRESENCE, PEACE, and so great a SALVATION through My Son. The choice is between a MAN-FOCUSED RELIGIOUS SPIRIT that creates a SLAVE/PERFORMANCE mentality, or SURRENDERING to My love so that you DRAW NEAR and we enjoy a TREASURED FRIENDSHIP.”
