Today’s Reflection: My son, do not despise the chastening of the Lord, nor detest his correction; for whom the loves He corrects, just as a father the son in whom he delights. Proverbs 3:11-12 NKJV

My Dear Precious Child,

Lie down in peace and sleep, for I will protect you. I will sustain you. I will awake you in the morning. When you diligently seek Me, You will find Me. I will cause you to hear My loving kindness in the morning when you put your trust in Me. I will show you the way wherein you should walk when you lift up your soul unto Me for My sheep hear My voice and I know them and they follow Me. I have searched you and known you. Before you were born, I  knew you by your name. I know everything about you. All your days were written in My book. Even before the foundations of the Earth, I chose you. I have a special plan for you: a purpose only you can fulfill. Draw near to Me and I will draw near to you. Harken unto my voice. Hardened, not your heart. Listen to My instruction. Do not ignore or hate My correction. I love you and desire to protect you. I delight in you as a father delights in his child.

Love,

Jesus
