My Daughter,

I know your heart longs to see those you love reach their full potential. I am the only one, however, who has the power to change a life, and even I will not force My ways on my children. I give all people the same choice I gave you: to live for themselves, for others, or for Me. I don’t want you to drain yourself trying to direct everyone else’s life. Don’t get discouraged when others do not listen to your good instruction; instead, pray that their hearts will be turned toward heaven so I can bring true change. Now, My beloved, come talk to Me about those you want to help. I will give you the words and good deeds, displayed through your love and life hidden in Me, that will enable you to be part of what I do in others’ lives. Remember, I am the Master Gardener and you are the branch; apart from Me, nothing you do for someone else will bring permanent change.

Love,
Your Father and Life Giver

He is our God.
We are the people he watches over,
the flock under his care.
If only you would listen to his voice today! - Psalm 95:7

Treasure of Truth

When you try to fix people in your own strength, you exhaust yourself and prevent them from discovering God’s strength.
