My beloved child, I see your need to belong, to be accepted by those you look up to or want to be around, to be seen as someone important in their lives. You want them to like you, include you, see you as one of them, so you mold your viewpoints around theirs and step into their strongholds with them.
Step out. NOW.
The favor you seek from people is not eternal. Those who accept you today will yet forsake you tomorrow, for their values are not Mine. They control and manipulate to get what they want. Even if only to feel good about themselves by converting others to their way of thinking.
Don’t you know? Haven’t you heard My heart? Seen My love letters to you? You already are beloved, treasured, important. It is not something you need to become or strain to be. I love you. Both now and from the beginning.
I created you for special — even miraculous — purposes: To know My great love for you, enjoy Me, walk as one with Me, and let the power of My love in you flow through you to change the world around you.
You cannot fulfill those purposes by conforming to the mindset of the world. You must be set apart.
Mine is the only mind that will bring you peace and joy. And I freely give it to you. 1 Corinthians 2:16. Step out of those needy strongholds that keep you lonely and dissatisfied. And step into My arms of love.
I am your Safe Place. I am where you truly belong. Only I can give you the fulfillment you seek. Step into Me.
