Only a step in the time of eternity

We have again passed another year, yet only a step in the time of eternity. And in that step you have grown in our relationship: you have a greater trust, a greater willingness to move forward in all circumstances to see what I would have for you. I sense within your heart the desire to see your future with Me. You are moved by world events but have tried to maintain your steadiness and faith in Me to move forward into that unknown future. You are seeing a greater measure of Might as He is held back for a time to be revealed. There is fear within you, but it is dissipating as we move ahead together.

This is the walk we both would desire: one of trust, one of purpose, one of desires fulfilled. I have much more for the coming year, much more for our walk into eternity. I am thrilled at your desire for Me, your purposefulness to be with Me, the deeper desire to have more revealed. That will never end, for there is so much more to the never ending.

Your heart is somewhat troubled with your work and your family. It is, as always, the unknown for both. But I would have you at peace with both: know that I understand your need to do what you feel is important in this time. You have an ability to change the lives of others by your care and concern for them; they are aware even if you are sometimes not. And it is here, in your work, where you feel you have some of our relationship you can express. This area of life for you is more open, more known by you.

The family is more unknown: here you feel less of an ability to have an impact for the kingdom. You may sense that from the outside: know that from My perspective it is different. I care for your family as I care for all of Mine, and I would not be apart from them even as I am not apart from you. For you are Mine – would I not care for what is important to you?

Yet even in this you are releasing your fear of the future for them. You are letting them go, measure by measure. And as you release I will hold. I know you sense a freedom in this you have not had in the past; that is a measure of the trust you have in Me. And a measure of growth in our relationship.

Still there is also a separation you sense you need to endure, and while that may be true for today it is not true for tomorrow. You will be with them even as I am with you. You do not understand that completely yet, but you shall. You will know a deeper relationship with them even as our relationship has deepened over time. You will see deeper within, always what you have hoped for in all of your encounters. You will know differently, sense differently, be different in joy. This will not be a season of sadness at a time of giving as in the past, but a joyful future at a giving of the heart.

It won’t be a wondering of the next year, but an anticipation at the expression of the kingdom at your hands through all events to come – whether perceived as good or bad by you. I think you now know with confidence that neither is the case, but the choice is always presented. You are learning that a choice is not bad if there is a time of influence for goodness to be expressed. This year that goodness will be much more expressed in all things we would do together.

Only remain with Me as you have; trust in Me as you have; continue as you are – and watch the kingdom unfold as it will for all those who would be with Me. You are ever with Me.
