"We want to be part of believers'
lives. If they allow Us in and allow Us to transform them, they
will become like Us and life and peace will flow. If not, then We
will keep on working with them. The sad part is just that they will
miss out on so much that could have been. Their free will is the
gateway." Jesus said.
Yonatan understood that clearly
now.
"And as you've probably realized,
what We bless them with is not riches beyond comprehension so that
they can stay warm and cozy with gold as their bedding. Mostly if
we just pour overwhelming riches on them, it could cause the
opposite effect and lead them away from Us. No, We bless them with
more than enough, to be a blessing to others and to woo others into
Our Kingdom as well. Our heart beats for a lost world. We want them
all to come in, and We call out to them through believers. And
therefore We want believers to be upstanding citizens in their
community. Then they can be good witnesses. We want believers to
want what We want, then Our blessings will be a true blessing to
them. We want them to succeed and yes, some of them need to be in
prominent places of influence, in order to install Our values into
this world. Some of them need to be sport stars, chief executive
officers, presidents, movie stars or beauty queens, to lead a lost
world back to Us. And some need to be parents, ready to influence
the school, the sports field and their children for Our Kingdom.
Our blessings are there for believers to enjoy, but even more than
that, it is there to bless the world and lead them back to Us. If
Our blessings don't do that, it is not blessings at all. Then We
cannot flow mightily through them and change this world to be a
better place."
Yonatan nodded. Being in Jesus'
presence assured him that all will be well. It assured him that he
will have more than enough and that He will look after him. He
realized that blessings could be so misunderstood and wrongly used.
God will do what was best in each believer's lives. They simply
needed to trust Him that He knows best. Sometimes the promotion now
will cause them to drift further away from Him or it might cause
them to be so busy at an age where their children needed them the
most. Other times the exaltation of them will lead them to pride,
causing a rift between God and them. Only He knows best. He knows
what will happen. Therefore Yonatan knew without a shadow of a
doubt that God was to be trusted. He knows what certain things in
his life will do to his relationship with Him. Yonatan there and
then concluded that whatever happened to him further, if it was to
the furtherance of his relationship with God and His Kingdom. Then
so be it.
"My grace is enough for you (2
Corinthians 12:9). Do not try and reason out everything that
happens to you. You have My mind now, flow with the wisdom that
emanates from that. Do what I place in your heart to do and show
love wherever you go. That is My heart for this world."
