My son, do not despair. It has been for a purpose. These many years, you have been a work on My potter’s wheel. Although it had been painful, I’ve worked with delicate and loving hands.
You have become so beautiful to Me. You have become the man I created you to be. Full of honor, integrity, honesty and love. You are a secret weapon for My purposes. You are sheathed with My most important weapons.
Those times in isolation were with Me. You have never been alone. Trust and lean only on Me.
The time is here to step out in glorious battle. All that I have is at your disposal, it’s yours. You will be victorious.
I love you with an everlasting love. I hold you dear to My heart. I cherish you.
Ask and you shall receive. I have seen your obedience and I’m pleased at what I see in the depths of your heart. It brings Me joy to see that your heart longs after Me.
And when he had removed him, he raised up David to be their king, of whom he testified and said, ‘I have found in David the son of Jesse a man after my heart, who will do all my will.’ Acts 13:22
