Never Losing the Light: Lost Treasure
To lose something you treasure does not mean I am not caring for you. On the contrary… As I have said, you cannot receive the new things I have for…
YOU DIDN'T CHOOSE ME! I CHOSE YOU…
Are you in a dark storm? Does it feel like you’re losing all the light in your life; like you’re all alone or that Jesus has gone to sleep in your boat?

Surrendering memories is not easy, but no, I won’t TAKE your memories from you. You must CHOOSE to lay them down in surrender to Me. I have so much more…
I hear you. (Yes… I do.) And, I will come, when the time is right. Remember Mary and Martha? They were in a storm, too. They didn’t understand, either. I…
My silence never seems so loud as it does in the storm, yes? (Yes.) But I have already told you, storms are for building your faith. Sometimes that requires silence……
