Listening To The Father’s Heart

Listening To The Father’s Heart

Son, there are times when your comfort is secondary to fulfilling my plan. I know this may seem like a hard word, but you need to know that this is what it really means to be a part of my plan for my kingdom. I hardened Pharaoh’s heart even though I knew greater hardship for my people would result. There IS a cross to bear when you are one of my sons or daughters. But know that on the other side of whatever adversity I ask of you, there is an eternity that can never be compared to your earthly hardship. Keep that focus when life bears down on you. Laying down your own life is sometimes required so that others may know me. My purpose must always be more important than your comfort. However, I do care, and my presence will always be there when those difficult times come. I said I will never leave you, and I won’t. It will feel like I have sometimes, though. Stand firm son. Keep walking and trusting. I’m right beside you.

“Then I will harden Pharaoh’s heart, so that he will pursue them; and I will gain honor over Pharaoh and over all his army, that the Egyptians may know that I am the Lord.” And they did so. Exodus 14:4

And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me. Matthew 10:38
