Are you humbly leaning on Me or are you pridefully independent? You will know by how many times each hour you ask Me for wisdom and help. No seeking Me equals pride and independence from Me. Seeking My Wisdom and help constantly equals humility and dependence on Me. James 1:5 If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, Who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him.
Do you know what happens when you do not have faith or trust Me? Your foundation of spirit is then built on your flesh, rather than on Truth and trust. Then you have a mind that changes with the opinions of those around you or with the changing circumstances. You also have emotions that are up one hour and down the next. They lead you like the tracks of a roller-coaster. 1 John 4:7 Beloved, let us love one another, because love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. 8 Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. 11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. 12 No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God remains in us, and His love is perfected in us. 13B y this we know that we remain in Him, and He in us: He has given us of His Spirit. 18 There is no fear in love, but perfect love drives out fear, because fear involves punishment. The one who fears has not been perfected in love. John 14: 23 Jesus replied, “If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word. My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him. 24 Whoever does not love Me does not keep My words. The word that you hear is not My own, but it is from the Father who sent Me. James 1:5 Now if any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him. 6 But he must ask in faith, without doubting, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. James 4:7 Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. 8 Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. Luke 6: 46 Why do you call Me ‘Lord, Lord,’ but not do what I say? 47 I will show you what he is like who comes to Me and hears My words and acts on them: 48 He is like a man building a house, who dug down deep and laid his foundation on the rock. When the flood came, the torrent crashed against that house but could not shake it, because it was well built.49 But the one who hears My words and does not act on them is like a man who built his house on ground without a foundation. The torrent crashed against that house, and immediately it fell—and great was its destruction.”

Do you consider yourself to be a person of faith? You can know how much faith you have by how patient you are. Are you willing to wait while I work with others behind the scenes? Are you willing to wait while your life seems to be falling apart? Are you willing to wait while others are slow or neglectful in their duties? Are you willing to wait on your own plans, while letting others have their needs met? How willing you are to wait is a gauge or indicator of how much faith you have in Me. No patience equals no faith. Lots of quiet patience and willingness to wait equals lots of faith. How much faith do you have in Me? James 2:4 have you not then made distinctions among yourselves and become judges with evil thoughts? 2 Corinthians 5:7 For we walk by faith, not by sight Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.
It’s easy to have faith when you are in the Kingdom of Heaven. It is difficult to have faith while you are on Earth. Ask Me to help you. Mark 11:22-24 And Jesus answered them, “Have faith in God. Truly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be taken up and thrown into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says will come to pass, it will be done for him. Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. Ephesians 2:8-9 For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. Matthew 21:22 And whatever you ask in prayer, you will receive, if you have faith James 1:5-8 But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all generously and without reproach, and it will be given to him. But he must ask in faith without any doubting, for the one who doubts is like the surf of the sea, driven and tossed by the wind. For that man ought not to expect that he will receive anything from the Lord.
No father, mother, sister, brother, spouse, or friend can ever truly Love you with Perfect Love. I Am Perfect Love for you. There is no other source. Attach only to Me. Do not demand from others what they can not give. Matthew 16:24 No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and wealth. 2 Corinthians 5:15 and He died for all, so that they who live might no longer live for themselves, but for Him who died and rose again on their behalf. Philippians 1:21 He died for all, so that they who live might no longer live for themselves, but for Him who died and rose again on their behalf. 1 Samuel 12:24 Only fear the LORD and serve Him in truth with all your heart; for consider what great things He has done for you. Hebrews 13:5 Make sure that your character is free from the love of money, being content with what you have; for He Himself has said, “I WILL NEVER DESERT YOU, NOR WILL I EVER FORSAKE YOU Luke 16:21 Blessed are you who hunger now, for you shall be satisfied. Blessed are you who weep now, for you shall laugh. Proverbs 8:17 I love those who love me, and those who seek me diligently find me.
Drugs are a false demon-god. Worship him, if you choose. I will not take away your freedom to choose. I will wait for you. I miss you. Matthew 6:24 No one can be a slave of two masters, since either he will hate one and love the other, or be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot be slaves of God and of money. 1 John 2:16-17 For everything in the world–the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life–comes not from the Father but from the world. The world and its desires pass away, but whoever does the will of God lives forever. 1 Peter 2:11 Dear friends, I urge you, as foreigners and exiles, to abstain from sinful desires, which wage war against your soul. 1 John 5:21 Dear children, keep away from anything that might take God’s place in your hearts. 7-22
Trust Me to bring you just what you crave. Escape into Me. Talk to Me. I will come to you and you will know release. You will know true help. There is no other source of help. Come to Me. I know you. I hear you. I Am here. Talk to Me. Then listen. I Am talking to you. Be still and listen. Psalm 46:10-11 Be still, and know that I am God! Psalm 107:28-29 Then they cried out to the LORD in their trouble, and he brought them out of their distress. He stilled the storm to a whisper; the waves of the sea were hushed. Mark 4:39-41 He got up, rebuked the wind and said to the waves, “Quiet! Be still!” Then the wind died down and it was completely calm. He said to his disciples, “Why are you so afraid? Do you still have no faith?” They were terrified and asked each other, “Who is this? Even the wind and the waves obey him!” Psalm 46:1-7 God is our refuge and strength, a great help in times of distress. Therefore we will not be frightened when the earth roars, when the mountains shake in the depths of the seas, when its waters roar and rage, when the mountains tremble despite their pride. Luke 10:38-42 Now as they were traveling along, Jesus went into a village. A woman named Martha welcomed him into her home. She had a sister named Mary, who sat down at the Lord’s feet and kept listening to what he was saying. But Martha was worrying about all the things she had to do, so she came to him and asked, “Lord, you do care that my sister has left me to do the work all by myself, don’t you? Then tell her to help me.” The Lord answered her, “Martha, Martha! You worry and fuss about a lot of things. But there’s only one thing you need. Mary has chosen what is better, and it is not to be taken away from her.” Isaiah 40:31 But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint. Isaiah 26:3 You will keep perfectly peaceful the one whose mind remains focused on you, because he remains in you. 1 Peter 5:7 Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. Revelation 3:20 Listen! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and have dinner with him, and he with Me.

No life is wasted. It is never too late to create beauty from ashes. Desiring death is actually desiring what you have not had . . . true Life. I died for you so you don’t have to. Take My Life and give Me your plans for death. Isaiah 61:3 to provide for those who mourn in Zion; to give them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, festive oil instead of mourning, and splendid clothes instead of despair. And they will be called righteous trees, planted by the LORD to glorify Him. 1 Corinthians 2:9 but just as it is written [in Scripture], Things which the eye has not seen and the ear has not heard, And which have not entered the heart of man, All that God has prepared for those who love Him [who hold Him in affectionate reverence, who obey Him, and who gratefully recognize the benefits that He has bestowed].

You will be accepted by others in the same “club of pain.” You and I will rescue others who are still being crushed. Your new Life will be a Light in their dark tunnel. I will heal them and set them free. Your past pain will not have been in vain. I exchange ashes for beauty. Isaiah 61:3 to provide for those who mourn in Zion; to give them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, festive oil instead of mourning, and splendid clothes instead of despair. And they will be called righteous trees, planted by the LORD to glorify Him. Psalm 23:5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. Psalm 149:4 For the LORD takes pleasure in His people; He adorns the afflicted with salvation. Jeremiah 17:7 But blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD, whose confidence is Him. 2 Corinthians 4:7 For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. 2 Corinthians 1:3-4 3 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, 4 who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God.
Now you have a story to tell. You have been crushed. You have been robbed and abandoned. You are in the club of pain. After I pour My Love into your wounds and fill you with peace, then I will restore true Life to your being. This new Life is a great story. Romans 8:17 and if children, heirs also, heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him so that we may also be glorified with Him. Romans 8:37 No, [suffering any one of these things is not proof that Christ does not love us], for in spite of all these things we have a decisive victory [over life’s difficulties] through [the care shown us by] Christ who loved us. 2 Timothy 2:12 If we endure, we will also reign with Him; If we deny Him, He also will deny us; 1 Peter 2:20 For what credit is there if, when you sin and are harshly treated, you endure it with patience? But if when you do what is right and suffer for it you patiently endure it, this finds favor with God. 1 Peter 5:10 After you have suffered for a little while, the God of all grace, who called you to His eternal glory in Christ, will Himself perfect, confirm, strengthen and establish you. Matthew 5:11 Blessed are you when people insult you and persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me. Matthew 10:39 He who has found his life will lose it, and he who has lost his life for My sake will find it. 2 Corinthians 12:10 Therefore I am well content with weaknesses, with insults, with distresses, with persecutions, with difficulties, for Christ’s sake; for when I am weak, then I am strong. Philippians 1:29 For to you it has been granted for Christ’s sake, not only to believe in Him, but also to suffer for His sake,
