Rest in Me!
“Rest in Me! Rest in My goodness and favor for your lives!
Do not be tempted to justify yourselves. Allow Me to justify you before others.
You have nothing to prove except to walk in obedience to Me and My Words.
Do not let people frighten you with their own high standards.
Their self righteousness has nothing to do with My Kingdom, but has only grown from the imagination within their own hearts.
They seek their own will rather than Mine, but they use My Name to establish their own purposes.
Man’s attempts at righteousness will fail for the heart is deceitful and cannot be trusted.
Those who seek their own authority are walking in the footsteps of the deceiver of mankind.
The exaltation of self is a dangerous trap. Do not copy those who have already fallen into it.
My righteousness will be established in the lives of those whose hearts are abandoned to Me, those who have given over their lives to Me, who walk in humility submitted to the guidance of My Holy Spirit.
They will show others a different way to live and to love, and they will not seek anything for themselves.
Their names will be hidden in My Name, and their lives will be poured out as a fragrant offering to Me.
I delight in such ones and will show Myself strong on their behalf. Follow their example and find the fullness of life in these end of days.
Rest in Me. Rest in My goodness and I will receive you as My very own!”
