There's a New Journey Opening Ahead of You (6.4.14)

Beloved,
Take some time to sit in My presence. 

I want you to be still so you can gain a fresh perspective of where you’ve been, and where you are now, before I lead you out and into the next phase of your journey. It is important that you see your past, not as a place of defeat, but as a place of learning, a place of growth and victory.

You were refined through the fire. I know at times the heat was intense, but you were never out of My hands.  I was with you. Everything I allowed you to go through has made you stronger and wiser. And this wisdom and strength will serve you well in the upcoming days. What you’ve gained will undergird your confidence to overcome any challenges that come your way.

I know that at the time, you didn’t understand why I allowed you to go through the fiery situations. So let Me explain. If I had not allowed you to go through those experiences, you wouldn’t be able to handle or appreciate the blessings that are to come. So don’t neglect this next important step of your journey. 

Take some time to sit in My presence, for there is a new journey opening ahead of you.
