FJWL_02:202
         (Dad:) The Lord is testing you, as well as training you for what He has in store for you, what's ahead. He has a special plan for you and for your life. He has something He especially wants to use you in. All that you're learning now and the way you're growing is in preparation for that.
         There are big things coming up in the future, so stay close to Jesus and His Words and be willing to learn all that He has for you, so you'll be ready. Even as you go along, step by step, as He's preparing you, He's going to be using you in lots of different ways, if you're yielded and listening to His still, small voice, getting His signals and following His leadings.
         So make sure your little antenna is in the right place, pointed straight toward Him and His Word, and that your receivers are open and quiet and listening for His signals, ready to receive His whispers and messages.
         If you snuggle up real close to Him, you'll hear Him whisper in your ear and you'll feel His arms around you, guiding you and showing you the way to go and what to do. And in the times when the going gets rough, He'll just pick you right up and carry you through, because you're close to Him and in His arms.
