A message of hope and encouragement

This piece may be for you. It dropped with a feeling that stirred my Soul and it screamed Abba Father. You may probably be the one because you have been in this storm that has engulfed you and you feel too lost to know what to do next. In your secret place you have often cried “I need you Dad”

You don’t want to be Peter who had to be reminded many times that he is weak and an easy target. He tried so hard to put up demonstrations to prove that he can try, and that he thinks he is not that bad. But those didn’t help. He failed. Deep in that broken heart I feel he too cried out “I need you Dad. Am so weak”

Coming home to the embrace of your own only daughter whose life you would have to use to redeem the vow you made to God. Am not sure I want to be Jephthah right now or anytime. What pain? What sorrow can be compared to that? And you had to succeed. Your calling demanded that and you felt by making a vow you would win God’s support. You were new and naive. Then your daughter runs out and all you have ever worked for is gone. I feel your pain. I feel you cried out too.

You don’t want to be the one running. It wasn’t always like this. You see, you once could call down fire. You could do miracles too. Then suddenly you feel human again and frightened because a new battle had come. You suddenly feel lonely and you felt by running you could be safe. But that didn’t help. I feel you must have cried out…”oh Dad, help me!”

The thoughts of giving all up at old age brings tears to the eyes. You waited all your life for a child. Suddenly that same voice demands that you sacrifice him. I know exactly how you feel. I know deep inside you would have whispered a prayer. “Daaad, please help me. I need you”

“I know the thoughts I thinks towards you” says Nissi. “They are thoughts of good and not of evil. To give you hope and a future”

Hear God speak to you: I see your tears. I know your fears. I will never leave nor forsake you. Your wasted years are restored. I reverse every stolen joy. You are blessed and not cursed.
