Truth Be Trusted

Little children trust that their parents are telling them the truth. It is a natural, instinctive tendency to trust but, should trust be broken, it is very difficult for them to completely trust again. This is why so many find it hard to trust that My Word is always true, even though I cannot lie, for they have had their heart troubled by another whom they trusted. Do you understand that it is impossible for Me to lie? For if I were to say it, then it would be.

I spoke and it became

This is why your words are so very important, for if you have been regenerated by My Spirit, your words are as powerful as Mine. You have been given power from on high to speak and it will be–if you believe.

How much more valuable are words than actions?

Words never stop working

A person’s words never stop for fatigue; they go forth and complete their mission, whether good or for evil. Therefore, guard your words and speak wisely. Measure by measure, they are your planted seed, and a full harvest you will receive in due season, whether for good or evil–you will produce fruit!

Let us begin by being trustworthy

Your little ones need to trust you, for I have trusted you with them. Bear fruit for righteousness. Seek truth and it will bear fruit in your life. If you dwell in evil, that too will prosper. Do you trust Me to tell you the truth? I trust you to seek truth, and not lie, for I have renewed your spirit.

So shall it be.

Trust Me

A Leading Legacy

A legacy you leave to your children’s children when you live a life of Righteousness, Holiness. These are My gifts–given freely to all who call on My Name. And yet, there are those who gladly receive Salvation but,

from sin they never restrain.

Little ones trust that you are leading the way, and it is you they emulate. They fail to see Me, for your sin blocks the view, of the one who would call them home.

If your life is a measure of good works and pleasure, no sin to captivate thee. The actions you speak are louder than words–an example of one that does seek…

the Father above, be it a gift of love to those children you’d raise to be meek. Therefore, be not wise in your own eyes, but look to your Father in love. For if you believe, that He will receive, your loved ones unto His Throne…

Then you would be wise, to see with His Eyes…

the damage that’s certainly done.

When you no longer think, that your actions can speak–then little ones no longer will learn

that it’s Me they should seek, or their future is bleak–for sin has no rest of its own.

Turn

Be My Example–

Lead My Sheep!
