FJWL_01:428
         You must remember, as was said about the woman in the Bible, "She hath done what she could." Just do what you can, and then leave the rest to Me and to others. Trust Me for your children. If you can't give them all that you would like to every day, don't worry about it. Just give what you can, and I will care for them. I will make them what I have designed them to be. Simply be faithful with the little that you can do each day, which is a lot.
         Don't be down on yourself. Don't worry, fret and fear that your children are not getting what they need. For if you have My love and give it to your children, this will cover everything else. I will make them strong towers in My Kingdom and they shall stand before the enemies in the gate. You will be proud of them!
         But without Me, you can do nothing. You must take time with Me in My Word and in the bed of love, in prayer and fellowship. For I wish to give you greater power, greater peace, greater faith and greater love.
         You must be a Mary. Even though you have many duties as a Martha, you must make time for Me. Your strength comes from Me, and without Me you will be burning without oil and your wick will turn black. Your strength will be sapped, and you won't have peace. You won't have enough love. You'll have fear. All of these problems are just on the surface, and they can be washed away with My strength, My Spirit, and My love.
         So make time for Me each day. Your children and your husband will be fine, and I will renew your relationship with your husband, your children, those you live with, those you work with, and those you minister to. They shall see a new light upon your face!
         Lift up your heart and your hands unto Me! Put Me first in your life and I will re-envision, I will re-strengthen, I will renew, I will reinvigorate, and I will lift you up.
