You were called and you are chosen – called as so many through the ages were called to follow Me into the unknown.  Of course unknown to you, but not to Me.  I have placed a veil across the future so you have to trust Me.  When you don’t know what is ahead, then you have to put your hand into Mine and then you follow much closer.  You will, of course, stumble along the way – and sometimes you will fall.  As the Proverb says, the righteous falls seven times and rises again.  (Proverbs 24:16) – but you will not only fall 7 times, not even 70 times 7 times. But I know your frame and I remember that you are dust, and every time you fall, I am there to uphold you with My hand.  (Psalm 37:24)

I know you get discouraged when you fail and when you fall – but let your failures bring you closer to Me.  When you feel defeated and once again you have missed the mark – remember that you belong to Me, and I am working in your life to recreate you so that you are more of a reflection of Me and so that the light of My love shines more brightly in you.  I like to use broken, empty vessels – empty of your own righteousness and pride which only separate you from Me – and broken because you realize that without Me you can do nothing.  So rejoice, knowing that every time you fall, you are actually drawing closer to Me in humility, and in faith – and knowing that when you fall, I will give you the strength to rise again.

Rejoice not against me, O mine enemy: when I fall, I shall arise; when I sit in darkness, the Lord shall be a light unto me. (Micah 7:8)
