Thus Saith the Lord,
*1) “MY child, stop striving to prove yourself to others or carrying burdens that aren’t yours to bear. Your worth has never depended on the opinions of others—it has always been secure in ME. In the silence, find MY peace and let go of the need for validation. Trust ME to handle what’s beyond your control and rest in the truth that you are fearfully and wonderfully made. You don’t need to exhaust yourself seeking approval; you are already accepted and deeply cherished. Embrace who I’ve created you to be, for in this surrender, you will find strength and serenity. Walk in the confidence of MY love, knowing you are enough because I say you are.”*
*2) “MY child, I have called you to be a light in the world, not a judge. Your role is not to act as a moral policeman, pointing out the flaws in others, but to reflect MY love, grace, and compassion. Do you see how I dealt with people when I walked the earth? I didn’t lead with condemnation—I led with love. I reached out to the broken, the lost, and the hurting, showing them the way through kindness and truth.*
*I want you to do the same. When you focus too much on enforcing rules or pointing out faults, you risk pushing people away from ME. Instead, let your life draw them closer to ME by showing them the love and grace I’ve shown you. Speak the truth, but always do so in love. Be patient, understanding, and humble, remembering that it is MY Spirit that transforms hearts, not human criticism.*
*I have given you MY love to share, not to withhold. Let your words and actions reflect the gentleness of MY heart. When you lead with compassion, you become a vessel for MY power to work in others’ lives. Trust ME to handle what is beyond your control, and simply be a light that points them to ME.”*
