The Assignment

Daddy what do you always have me doing assignments that take more out of me than putting more into me? Or those assignments that make me feels so uncomfortable that I don't even know why you chose me to do them? Daughter why would't I choose you to do them? Why would I assign you to them? I have called you to do something bigger than you so that I can get the glory. Nothing I assign you to is about you!!! NOTHING!!! Your life is not even about you... your heart and wanted to be love is not about you... Having money, a job, kids, wanting to get married, being a wife, or anything that you desire in your heart, is NEVER about YOU!!! You are a rented vessel that I called forth to do three things while present on this earth. One, to commune with me... Daughter I enjoy our conversations, but I just wish you would want to talk to your Daddy more often than you do. If you did there would be things in your life you wouldn't have to face or even think about. You would be in a happier place, enjoy my joy, grace, mercy, and presence. Not stressing how this is going to get pay, why you living from paycheck to paycheck, or even focused on your singleness. Two, to draw closer to you. Daughter there times where me being in your presence is just as important as you wanting me in your presence. Note Daughter that I don't need you, but I want you. I created you from the image of us. You are in the likeness of me and because you are in the image in me I need all of me to be close to me. I never want to feel that you have place other things and gods before me. I want to know that you appreciate me and understand that without me there will be no you. Last, I need your love. I need the kiss you can't give any other.... Your worship. To worship me sets the tone, atmosphere, the acceptance of my presence. To worship me means you surrender all that is and you pick up all that's me. You never are willing to do things without my permission and you understand that your purpose is beyond your understanding. If you... Daughter can hold up to these three things that make up your assignment, then you will feel depend on the things that only I can give. When things go wrong your level of anxiety will not go up, because you understand what your Daddy can do and when he can do. Daughter be honored to have this assignment to be close to me, to know me, to love me, to worship me, knowing that it gives us more time together. I love you Daughter and only want the best and greater for you... I love you too Daddy... By the way I will accept the assignment. You can't deny what I have called you to Daughter... (Laugh)... Your are so right Daddy!

The Isolation

Daddy this morning as I reflect on my life I realize how alone physically I feel. I know that you are always with me and that you will never leave me, but this season seems to be one that is dry and remote. My finances are not lining up, my heart seeks love that seems to be no where to be found, and I feel like my friends that are left are slowly shift in a position that I am suppose to be at, but have no clue on how to get there. Daddy what is this season what is this isolation that I feel right? Why is so dry in my life? I am doing what you tell me... I am praying more, seeking your more, worshiping more, and just trying to put my all our relationship. Tell me Daddy what am I doing wrong? What has me in this desert? Why am I here? Daughter, it seems that you are upset to be in this remote and desert place. I am Daddy.... I really am!!! Well daughter let me assure you that what you see as dry and remote is actually a place full and  fruitful. I have told my prophets to prophecy and speak life to dry bones... My son has raised what man declared dead to life.... I never do dry things Daughter. I never do remote and isolation without producing life and something bigger. I never place people my sons or daughters alone without purpose. What you see as isolation, I see as growth, as strength, as a calling being manifested, as an opportunity for you to receive rest from life and intimate time with me. Daughter what you see as isolation, for me is a moment of truth, grace, love, and joy. It is a time for me to give you instruction. I told Moses to go the mountains so that I could give him commands, I told David to go to the caves so that I can make him a great leader, worshiper, and king. Daughter do you see that this isolation that you describe as sad, barren, disappointing, and alone, is actually not that. That isolation is the time for me to create life. I hear you Daddy I do.. But Daddy I feel so broken... I feel so alone... Daughter I need you broken so you can know that I can only put you back together again. I want you broken so I can fill what seems to be like cracks in your life with the things of me. I want you broken, because it's at the moment of brokenness that you seek me. Turn to me and give me thanks and see what will happen. If you turn to me and give me thanks in your brokenness you will see what was once was a dry, remote, desert place become a place of fruitfulness, full of life and prosperity. I know that this remote place is not comfortable and the feeling of loneliness seems heavy and unbearable, but Daughter I am your Father and I have never let you down. I am your Daddy and the intimacy that we have can never outweigh the isolation that you are feeling. Know that if I did it before I can do it again with greater. I did it for so many that this season you call "the isolation," is a piece of cake for me. I know it may seem like you been here for forever, but know that I am breaking the dry ground and growing grass. Ok! Ok Daddy! I will trust you, know that this isolation season is not what it seems. Daughter what a great start. If you allow me to change your sight you will see what I see. Have faith, stand strong, trust me, and hang on. I am about to blow your mind and show you that I am your Daddy not just the one of the old or new testament but the one of the present. Hold fast to my promises and know that I am not a man that I would lie to you and that I have prepared something greater than your mind could ever phantom. Ok Daddy! Daughter I love you so much, that there is not a word or words that you could understand that I could express to explain my love; that's why I put it into action by allowing my son be the sacrificial lamb for my sons and daughters. I love you my heart and joy! You are my Daughter of purpose, position, and promise. Just know that this is not isolation, this is intimate time with me.
