“The plans of the diligent lead surely to abundance…” —Proverbs 21:5

I love you, My child! Today & going forward, I need you to be more deliberate throughout your day. Especially in the little things; the uninspiring things. Like when you wake up. Be deliberate in your routine. Take that shower, brush your teeth, shave, eat a healthier breakfast. My child, you have struggled in being deliberate in your daily routine. Your trial has derailed you that even daily self-care has often become difficult. You’re alone, depressed and seemingly do not feel the need to get ready. Well, I need you to be ready for Me. Because you never know what I might bring throughout the day. And you won’t see it if you’re not ready. But if you are ready, then you’ll be more apt to identify, do and participate in what I might bring. My child, your lifestyle has become sedentary—mainly because of your trial. To be more active, I need you to be prepared to be active. Similarly, you’ve prepared yourself for My inevitable return. You don’t know exactly when, but you know I will. You took the first step in deliberately accepting Me as Lord & Savior many years ago. And today, you’re deliberately allowing Me to grow you in sanctification through your current trials, however painful. The pain of your trial is humbling you so I can work on you. You are in essence allowing Me to prepare you to be with Me for all eternity—to clean you up, to take that spiritual shower. To get rid of those dirt stains of sin that still exist in your life. Trials tend to bring you to repentance. And that’s what cleans you up—continual repentance! My child, you’re always going through a cleanup process. And thank you for allowing Me instead of pridefully denying that you have dirt stains. My child, when that day comes you will be ready for Me in heaven. All because of what I did and Am doing. In the meantime & likewise, please be deliberate and ready for the things that I might bring throughout the day. Don’t deny it by not being ready. All this to be in My Presence here today and soon for all eternity in heaven. I love you!
