FJWL_01:44
I see you as a young warrior kneeling at My feet in submission and in humility and in yieldedness, ready to do My bidding. This is My will for you, because as a strong young warrior, you will lead others, and where you lead them will depend on your choice. It will depend on your love for Me, your dedication, your loyalty and your faithfulness to Me.
If you truly love Me with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind, you will bow before Me in humility and yieldedness, that you may lead others--your younger brothers and sisters, your peers, those that look to you--in the way that I would lead, as you follow Me down the path of My will where I would that you should go.
But this is a learning time for you. You have many desires in your heart and in your mind. You're restless. You're sometimes frustrated. But be patient, My son. I know that you have had much patience, but you must hold on yet a little longer. You must look to Me and to My Word.
This is a time of learning to submit your mind and your heart and your spirit into My hand so that you may learn My ways, that you may be strengthened in heart and spirit; that you may be strengthened in the use of My Word and in closeness with Me; that you may draw closer to My bosom and become more strongly connected to Me--to My heart and to My Spirit--so when I open the doors for you, when I release you to serve Me in greater spheres of usefulness and to move forward according to the path of My will, you will be ready and you will be closer to Me and will follow Me whithersoever I lead you. This is My will for you, and I pray for you, that your faith fail not.
I love you, My son. Have courage. Have strength--strength in Me and in My Word. I will lead you and I will help you. I will give you the strength that you need. I will give you the faith. I will provide all your heart's desires if you will desire Me above all else.
