If you are visiting  fromGraceforGlory for the first time, please take a minute to  read the ABOUT section.   I believe God has given me the ability to hear Him  —  so you can hear him also.  He calls me His Child –  but has reminded me often that these words are for ALL His children.   I invite you to listen as HIS child.  Remember always,  God loves you. †

Lord, I ask … what shall I do first – on this glorious morning?

“Child, rise and go to work.  You know what that is and you can hardly wait to begin. Your embrace of your calling delights me – as I know already the fruits of your labors.

Child, you saw what …  shshshs shshshs   – be very still child – you are so eager to get to your work that I feel I must race to keep up with you – shshshs … be still — be calm … and listen.  Though I smile in your eagerness – at this moment, stop and listen.  Yes child – that is your work.  Stop  Listen …

then Speak.  You have done well – and obediently served the first two tasks.  Now, perfect speaking.  Child, … simply speak.  When you speak the word of the Lord – it is perfect.  Be authentic and speak perfectly – that others may hear the love and authority in your voice.

They will know;  they will recognize the voice of my son … for he has been speaking to them for eternity.  All will be familiar – like, de ja vu – and they will want more.  Child, be prepared, they will want more.  I have prepared you .. with “more” … with all that you need, and now is the time to speak.

Child, you saw the power of obedient service – how the fruits of such labor never end – and multiply exponentially.  Speak of that child; the Cannon … and Reverend Becca – who heard their calling as clearly as you – and followed, without reservation.  Child, even they do not know the fullness of their service – for it extends beyond their horizon. Their service is for the Lord, and thus, for eternity.  Should they serve the world – they would see the “enough” – and conclude their work, like a task “well done and completed.”  Child, when you complete a project and you reflect on its success – are you not very pleased with yourself … satisfied … and simply content with the memory of a job well done?  Done.  Done .. you own the memory and that is enough.  Child, your work, like their work, is for the Kingdom – not for this world … there is no end. … as there is no end of love.  Love is the work.  Simply love.  Child, love has no end.  Be thankful that your work is endless – and the fruits of your labors – endless.  Like the song-writer, as Rev. Becca reflected; the fruits of his labors extend beyond notes and words on paper – once shared with the world – they have endless potential. 

Child, first – encourage all to labor for love.  Infuse love into every minute of every day – no matter how mundane or insignificant it may seem.  Infused with the love of Christ – every task is holy … and rich … and serves the Kingdom forever.

Child, every soul on this earth was born to love.  Return them to me – teach them to listen.  When they hear – like hearing a beautiful melody – they will want more … and then …  more.

Child, you have done that – listened to beautiful music and set the player to repeat … so you could hear it over and over again.

Child, do you ever tire of hearing me?

Neither will they, child – teach them to hear me.  I am gifting you, sweet child, with the joy of introducing my voice

.. that you might witness the moment they recognize its authority .. and familiarity.

I give you the gift of recognition .. when you see the joy of their independence … and they begin to soar – like a baby bird whose mother urges, and perhaps pushes, out of the nest.

How exciting and scary and life changing is their first flight.

… and so natural.  Quickly they understand they were born to fly … and fly they must to thrive… they must fly.

Child, to thrive and live life in the fullest – my children must hear me.

You must teach them, child – that I speak to the heart not just through the Word – but in many languages.

The artist receives divine inspiration – and serves by listening to his heart to create a divine dialogue in music, on canvas, or stone – or culinary delight.

Child, have you not had heavenly food that you know was prepared with loving hands?

… or art so visually inspiring that it moves you to another level?

Child, the greeter that spoke a kind word to you – one that left you grateful of their existence.  You knew the gesture was in obedience to the King – and not simply doing tasks in a job description.  The same task can be done in divine order or in worldly order.

Either way – the task will be complete.

One has endless potential and the other ends.

… the mundane or the divine.

My children were born to live and serve divinely.

Child – listen . shshshshs … miracles are real.

You know – for to hear my voice in the noise of the world is a miracle.

Rejoice, proclaim and claim your work … in duty … speak.

In love, speak.

In grace live and serve.

Go to love

Go to be loved.

Blessed child, serve.”

Amen Amen Amen

Father, you took me to Titus 2:15  You must teach these things and encourage the believers to do them.  You have the authority to correct them when necessary, so don’t let anyone disregard what you say.

“Child, yes, that is the Word for you.  Stand in the light, on the Word, for truth.  Let no one be dismissed who is confused or mistaken.  Labor for all to know the glory of His name, … that IS your work.

Go and serve Love.”       Amen Amen Amen
