Day 25

Do you want to live for Me? See yourself as a steady but limp garden hose, a branch of the vine that does not move, unless I, pure perfection move first through you with My living water (John 15:5). Let your soul (emotions, will, and intellect) be formed by time with Me and My Word. My Spirit wants to lead and guide your soul, especially when tested. Stay close to Me, keeping your soul calm until My Spirit speaks and then rises up within you as a hose when water rushes through it to act and speak and love.  But rise up in the Spirit to act, not the flesh (John 6:63). Not with the old emotions, self-will and old thoughts. Let the soul be renewed in Me. Then the water from the hose will refresh the weary souls around you, including your own.

 Never hate others who test you. See others as loved players in your little world of testing. Your mission is to rise in the Spirit to challenges each time your soul (emotions, will and intellect) are tested. Be healed My love, be whole. All of the fearful roads, all of the painful paths have led to this moment. I am sorrowed that it has hurt so much and you have cried out and believed My delay was denial (Dan. 9:19). I love you.
