I Am Here, Let Me Hold You

Dear Child,

Come here, sweetheart, I was watching you sleep. Waiting for you to wake is a favorite part of My day. I love you and think about you so much. I know you didn't plan for all the troubles you have in your life. You can rest in my arms knowing that I have a plan to use your hurts; for My glory and your good. When you are in despair, feeling like your life is spinning out of control and moving past you as you stand still, I am here. Let me hold you.

Life is not easy, and it is not fair. Jesus suffered and so will you. Remember, as Jesus did, that I am sovereign and in control. Even when you walk into the deepest valleys, not only I am there with you, I am leading you through. Come beside me, when you grow weary, weighed down by a landslide of bad news . . .let Me hold you. I am the only one that understand totally and I know how to comfort you. I am faithful. Trust Me. I will take your life's greatest disasters and make them blessings for you. Cry in My arms until I can help you see what I see.

My Scriptures hold powerful promises for you to stand on. I can never break a promise, because I do not lie. In times of distress naming a Scripture aloud can be very powerful. Hebrews 2:14 says, "...so that through His death He might destroy the one holding the power of death - that is, the Devil." Satan would not be trying so hard to destroy you, your marriage, and your family, if he didn't want to render you powerless for the Gospel. He wants you to doubt Me. He is scared of what you might be able to do if you keep abiding faithfully close to me. He wants to stop you. He wants to crush you. He wants your godly seed. Flee to me. Let me aid you when you are tempted.

Do not focus so deeply on your burden that you struggle to keep your focus on Me. I am always here, to keep you daily knowing you are a partaker of Christ. Hold fast to the beginning of your confidence in Me, steadfast to the end. Do not harden your heart as in rebellion of unbelief or the deceitfulness of sin. My arms are wide open, run to me. I hear when you cry out to Me, and I will respond. In your days of trail, come to your living Father God. Believe my promises. You will obtain mercy and find grace to help you in your time of need.

Lindy,
This letter could not have come at a more better time for NKY. Last week a friend was in a head-on collision. All 6 of her children were in the van and for the most part all are doing fine, most unharmed. My girlfirend, Michelle, however was crushed from the pelvis down. How no one was killed in this accident we do not have a clue...other than the mighty hand of God. Michelle is fighting for her life at this moment. She faces the possiblity of loosing her legs, but at the moment that is the least of the worries. I CAN NOT WAIT to share this letter with NKY and Michelle's family. We all needed this Letter from the King. Thank you, Lord for sending it!

Hugs,
Jennifer Miller

Dear Jennifer,

I am in pain for this precious family. Thank you for sharing. God is the only One Who came truly minister and help these precious children and mom.

One does not ever intend something written to be used for such a purpose, and He alone is to be glorifies that He provided just the right words on this day that you needed to hear and to share.

Please let Michelle know I am praying for her. Oh, how we take everything we have for granted. How little we truly love those God has given us to have relationships, and how much of His time we waste doing meaningless junk.

Michelle is dearly blessed to have you as a friend, someone who cares for her tremendously and who most importantly is a sister in the Lord.

I am so sorry for the pain you are all going through at this time.
