Let me ignite the flame.

Child - my little light. Imagine this - a candle sitting in a dark room, which hasn't yet been lit. It is incapable of giving light to anyone. It's dark. You are the candle. When i come into your life, you then have a flame - a light, burning within you - which is me. The room becomes bright, and by that light you see all things, and so do others for that matter.

Now a light is never hidden, Its purpose is to shine bright so other people can see. By it, it allows other people to see - truth. The light can be seen by anyone who is near to you, anyone around you will see the light.

Your view on your life and those around you, your view on your day to come - these things, imagine are your candle. When these things are good and strongly based upon me you will be full - full of my beautiful light, your flame will be burning strong - by my power. I am inhabited inside of you. Therefore your light is mega!

If your view on life and those around you, is bad, and your listening to the wrong voices, you will be like a candle with no flame. There is no use for that. You aren't shining bright, because i don't have a big enough part in your life.

Child, when you are full of me, and not rubbish, your life will be purely radiant as though a floodlight were filling you with light. Ask me to light your flame. I will.

Love, Papa.

Based around Luke 11:33-36

accomplishng the purpose.

Child, i don't want you to get confused about why I came into the world. I didn't come to stamp out the importance of my commandments, or to do away with them. I came to provide a way to accomplish my purpose for you - my treasured child. I came to ensure that my plan for you could be fulfilled, and in no way are my commandments cancelled out. They always will be my commandments, until the heavens and earth are done with and my plan has been 100% carried out. Do your best to keep in line with each and every one of them - i am here to help you.

And i tell you this to ensure you understand, although you may have my forgiveness in your mistakes, my word is still relevant and made to be obeyed. I made them because i love you, and as cliche as i sound, i want the best for you.. My word is your lifeline. I can only be your lifeline if you are plugged in to me.

I want to encourage you to continue in this race you have begun, with a determination noone can put out. (Why? because I AM your source) Remember you don't get into heaven and my kingdom because you've been 'good.' To get into heaven that way, you would need to be perfect. Unfortunately each one of us fail at that one. I came to accomplish the purpose of my word - my word alone wasn't going to be enough to save you. So i came to earth, to pay for your sin, to cancel out your debt, to ensure my purpose and promise would be carried out. I have your back child. I made a way when it seemed there was none. I give hope. If i did that for you, what else would i not do for you?

(based around matt 5:17-20)

and the hope sparked up

the hope in her heart,
was but a flicker of a flame,
struggling to stay bright.

she was losing her fire,
her zest for life
and her desire.

the pain of deception,
pierced a hole,
leaving her heart longing for loving connection.

the flickering flame in her heart,
got drenched with ice cold water.
her hope, now vulnerable, attempting to depart...

until a gentle voice whispered, 'you are MY daughter'
and the hope sparked up.

prick up those wee ears

Dearest child
Why aren't you listening to my voice? I've noticed often you aren't hearing what i'm saying, and it breaks my heart, to see you get hurt like this. You know what i say and want for you is only the best. It's a royal affair - you and me. Remember that. You are my child. I am a king, and therefore you are my strong prince, my beautiful princess. The more you listen and act on my voice, the closer you and I get, and the closer to royalty you become.

Child, my word is powerful, it's sharp. My word can cut through anything. Thats my love for you. I can fight your battle. I see what you're going through, but please can i remind you who it is that rules over you? And the immense power behind my name! I split seas so people could walk to safety. I calmed storms! I walked on water. I love you. I AM capable. I will cut through what you're facing, let me do it, i KNOW you can't do it, that is why i'm here for you, i will step in, as your papa, i will take your hand and pull you out of this battle zone and fight it. Addictions? i can break the strongholds, child, i still love you. Have you been discouraged? Let my word be a hand to push your chin up, let my word wrap you in a loving embrace, and let me be your Father. Perhaps you're dealing with insecurity? In me, you are beautiful, you are created, made fearfully and wonderfully. Child, whatever it is, i am here, my word is here, to guide you, to remind you who I AM. I will go into whatever it is, wherever you need me, i'll go in. Understand my word is to be obeyed child, because i love you. Not one person walking this earth couldn't benefit from my word, it's relevant to you.

Listen out for me, the echoes of my voice on your trip to work. You never know where i might be hiding, where i'm just busting to bless you! And most importantly, my voice is most often heard from the bible. What surprises hide in that book? What things am i waiting to show you in there? Open it up. I'm smiling just thinking about it.

Love you heaps my prince/princess,

Papa.

(based around hebrews 4:12-13)

P.S remember! prick up those wee ears of yours.
