         Do not be fearful for your weakness, for in this very weakness you will find My strength. This very weakness will be a reminder to you of how much you need Me. When you call out to Me in this weakness, I will be there to lift you up. I will be there to give you power that you know not of. In this weakness, as you call out to Me in desperation, when you reach the end of yourself and you have nothing left and you look up to Me, then you shall find new anointing. You shall find a new beginning. You shall find a new birth.
         You shall find Me and know Me as you have never known Me before! Your dependence upon Me will be greater. Your desire for Me will be greater. Your knowledge of Me will be more intimate. Your relationship with Me will be warmer and closer than ever before. In this you shall find strength, power, wisdom and anointing. You shall find all the things that you need for the future.
         You feel that your future is so ordinary. You don't see any place for yourself. You don't see any reason for all this testing and all this training and all this time taken out of the wings to be strengthened. You see no outlet for all of this. But don't worry, for you do not see as
I see. Your vision is so shortsighted, but I know the future. I know the needs of the future, and I have a plan.
         Trust Me that I know you will need all of these gifts and more. You will be used to the full. At that time you will be so grateful for these times of testing, these times of purging, these times when your faith was sorely tested, these times when you learned to lean on Me, these times when you saw Me answer prayer and you learned to trust Me. You'll be so grateful for these quiet times when you learned to hear My voice.
         Trust Me for the future and know that your usefulness is not over; it is just beginning. For I have a plan and a purpose. You will not be disappointed. You will be grateful that you hung on, that you continued having faith, that you continued trusting, and that in your moment of greatest weakness you reached out to Me and found strength.
         Therefore take your rest. Worry not for the future. Rest in My arms and find peace of mind. Relax in My arms and trust Me. Know that I love you, and that all things, even this, are from My hand. It is not to discourage you or condemn you or beat you down, but just to bring about My beautiful plan in your life.
