My child, your life is like a flight. I have prepped you and equipped you for the journey, and showered you with blessings. I have allowed you to take that, and run with it. Take off, and see where I lead you!
This does not mean it will all be smooth sailing. There will be headwinds, turbulence, and storms. There will be delays, and breakdowns. People will disappoint, life will throw curveballs. But, it all makes lifting off the ground that much more of a miracle.
You get off the ground, but your troubles don't stop there. People and luggage will weigh you down. Mistakes can be made, you may stall. But, it's all about trusting Me to get you through anything. Sometimes, the fog will be so thick, you can't see the finish line; my goal and purpose for the trials I put you under. I promise, it is solely out of my love for you. Trust Me to navigate your life as you take off and head out into the unknown.
You ascend, passing thousands of feet into the air. The higher you get, the smaller the world appears. The world is insignificant and will pass away as fast as you leave this city behind. Watch your problems become as minimal as the minuscule buildings in the distance.
The clouds approach, and this becomes the true test. Will you trust Me, and leave what is seen behind to enter a world you cannot see or understand? Although it is a struggle to fly below the clouds, you stay there because you can see and feel. Trust Me; let Me take you out of the misery. Close your eyes, and feel My hand guiding you up.
You pass through the clouds, clinging to Me in trust and love. I whisper, "Open your eyes." This calm, this beauty, this light above the clouds is what I have for you. Look at the expanse of blessings. This is what I have in store for you. This is all I have for you. Stay up here with Me; abide in me. Let Me sustain you. Let Me love you.
However, sometimes you don't believe that this can possibly be yours, and you let go. You feel undeserving, and too insignificant for My plan. If only you would listen as I call out to you at that time! You find yourself falling below the clouds, in a flurry of hastened excuses. Your burdens, running low on fuel, sins, regret, depression, all anchor you down. They find a way between us, and you lose your focus on Me, the author and perfecter of your faith. I reach for you as you pass through the clouds, waiting.
But, you don't reach back to Me yet. You fall for the lies, thinking I'm not there. Nothing could be further from the truth. I am there, talking to you as well. But, you choose to listen to the lies.
Find my voice! I am there; no, I am here. Right now, in this moment. I am desperately after you, all you have to do is turn around! Listen to me: you are fearfully and wonderfully made. My works are wonderful. You are a temple and house to My spirit. You are My child. I know the plans I have for you. Each one was written in your life before you even came to be. These plans are to prosper you, not to harm you. They are to give you a hope and future. I knew what I was doing when I formed you in the secret place. I could not be happier with you. I am proud of you. Neither height nor depth, angels or demons, no power of hell or scheme of man can ever pluck you from My hand or separate you from My love.
You may drift, you may falter. But, My love and faithfulness shall never falter, drift, or fade. It is a roaring flame that cannot be quenched.
DTI
