Come to the Light
My children, many of you have suffered needlessly in your lifetime. You’ve kept deep insecurities, hurts and fears to yourselves because you are afraid people won’t understand and they will reject you. When you carry a personal secret or false image, it distorts the perception you have of yourself, of others and of life in general, even of me. You need to feel loved and this will only happen when you can be your true self. Beloved, healing only comes when there is exposure to light. I’m not suggesting that you tell everyone about your painful experiences or issues. I am asking you to come to me first and tell me what’s heavy on your heart so that I can direct and lead you. Surrender the pain of your past and permit me to restore you. Believe that when Jesus died on the cross, he removed both your sin and your shame so that you could carry my name as beloved son or daughter of God.
I’ve given you brothers and sisters who have walked with me for a long time and who have wisdom and experience to share with you. The wisest and most mature are those who are aware of their imperfections and mistakes, which lead to regret. They have come to a place of restoration and the ability to rejoice in their new life in Christ. Approaching one of these seasoned believers who you can trust will result in my light being shed on the situation. You will be able to hear me speak more clearly after spending quality time with such individuals. I will reveal to you where you have been deceived, resulting in a false belief about yourself or others. This is how my body was designed to work; this is how brethren help one another. True compassion manifests when my children minister to one another from their own pain and healing.
Some of your destinies have been plundered and stolen because these things were kept in the dark due to shame. It’s never too late for me to do a new thing in your life and to heal you completely. Regret need not plague you; it causes my children to stagnate and this is not from me. My plans are for you, to give you a future and a hope. So come, to me, the Light of the World and healing will arise.
