It is fear of the unknown, from that clouded perspective, that man creates

In these times, and going forward, I have chosen You. I have chosen the path of elevating my thoughts above circumstances to the place of true wisdom and love. I must believe that the place of worry and concern for events unfolding is not to be where my heart should reside, but that I should raise my eyes to the One who sees all things, all circumstances, all plans, all intents, for I know it is only from that perspective that I view the truth. It is only from that place I can offer the words of comfort – to those fearful of the future, to those conforming against their will to the intents of others, to those experiencing the loss of freedom, and to those fearing the future – and to my thoughts of fearing the drift into old age with physical, emotional, or financial liabilities.

It is fear of the unknown, the fear of lack of any kind – whether money, or health, or any other of the things man feels he requires for his personal security – that drives his behavior. Survival is mandatory in his eyes, and it is from that clouded perspective that he creates.

With Me this is not so. There is a clarity unknown by man that he innately knows to be true, but cannot receive, for he cannot give up that which he believes he knows; it is difficult for his heart to believe for anything different.

But I have come to man, that in My care for him I would reveal a better path, one of simply being with Me. There is nothing beyond that, for in My presence there is the fullness of life he seeks. There is no other answer to the discernment he has of events, people, sickness and disease, poverty and lack, than to seek to be with Me. The wisdom he receives in that place will guide him in his thoughts, beliefs, and actions.

The fear of inaction by Me that he believes he sees will be made known to him: his sight will be restored, his hearing tuned to the true words of My heart, his motion to overcome. See again what I have spoken and put your reliance upon My words – it is there you will find your peace, the calming of your heart, the way forward.

The Chosen

In these times my heart declares,

I've chosen You through joys and cares.

Above the fray my thoughts I'll raise,

To wisdom's light and love's sweet grace.

No longer will my soul abide

In worry's grip or fear's dark tide.

I lift my eyes to You alone,

Who sees all paths, all hearts, all known.

From Your high view truth shines clear,

Your plans unfold, Your love draws near.

In faith I stand, my spirit free,

For You, O Lord, have chosen me.
