Don’t Look Down
The following is also used as the welcome message when you subscribe to the mailing list. So, maybe some of you have already heard this, or will hear it twice if you join the mailing list. It was originally sent out for the first time on 7/8/06. (And yes, I have to admit, I was partially thinking of Wile E. Coyote and the Roadrunner when I wrote this!)
I just wanted to share something that I wrote as sort of an encouragement from God that He gave me a while back. I had been distressed and worried about things in life all day that day, and that evening I wrote a short piece and finally received a peace from God.
Don‘t Look Down
Look.
Look at Me.
My child, look to Me.Look into My eyes, and know this: I am your salvation. I am your healing.
You need not understand all of what is happening, but simply that I am the answer. Don‘t look down to your own ways, but rather, look up to Mine. Do not look to your mire, but look to My rainbow. Do not focus on your own faults, but know the power of God. Do not look to the entanglements of sin, but rather the goodness of God.
Beloved, you have crossed from death unto life. You have run off a steep cliff, and you have not fallen. You are afloat on My grace. Don‘t look down.
You have run off a steep cliff; and, how can this be!? It is My salvation. Just as Peter walked out onto the water to Jesus, so too have I called you unto Myself. Don‘t look down. Do not see the difficulties below, but the boundless power above.
Look at My countenance. I am your health. I am your purity. I am your strength. You need not sift them out from the hay and stubble of the world. Look unto Me, and you will have peace.
