WOULD YOU TAKE OFFENSE MY, LOVE?

If Jesus were to ask you…

Would you take offense my love, if I send storm after storm in your life?
When you feel like your life has been uprooted and laid bare. When you see all your cherished dreams and hopes lie shattered like pieces of glass. When I call loved ones suddenly unto myself. Or times when you don’t understand my way and don’t know if your heart can take another storm. Would you take offense my love?

When you see your friends receiving their miracles, while you keep waiting for yours. Or when you see your friends testifying about my abundant grace and love when you don’t feel any. Would you take offense my love?

Nay, this is the time to hold on to me even tighter lest your grasp slip into the pit of unbelief and doubt. The temptation to wallow in self pity and anger is tremendous, I know. When you don’t feel me close that’s when am closest to you. My grace is sufficient for you. This is the time I am preparing you for greater victories and richer blessings. I am not done with you yet. My plans and thoughts for you are greater than your mind can possibly fathom. Be assured my love, every hurt or sorrow that has come to you has been permitted by my pierced hands to get you closer to me. To see me in everything and depend on me for everything is what I want from you. Not one blow will be permitted to fall on you, which my divine love doesn’t allow! I will not allow anything that is beyond your capacity to endure.

And so, I ask you again, would you take offense my love?
