Entrust Your Loved Ones to Me

Entrust Your Loved Ones to Me; release them into My protective care. They are much safer with Me than in your clinging hands. If you let a loved one become an idol in your heart, you endanger that one- as well as yourself. Remember the extreme measures I used with Abraham and Isaac. I took Isaac to the very point of death to free Abraham from sonworship. Both Abraham and Isaac suffered terribly because of the father's undisciplined emotions. I detest idolatry, even in the form of parental love.

When you release loved ones to Me, you are free to shower blessings on them. My Presence will go with them wherever they go, and I will give them rest. This same Presence stays with you, as you relax and place your trust in Me. Watch to see what I will do.

When they reached the place God had told him about, Abraham built an altar there and arranged the wood on it. He bound his son Isaac and laid him on the altar, on top of the wood. Then he reached out his hand and took the knife to slay his son. But the angel of the Lord called out to him from heaven. "Abraham!! Abraham!" "Here I am," he replied. "Do not lay a hand on the boy," he said. "Do not do anything to him. Now I know that you fear God, because you have not withheld from me your son, your only son."- GENESIS 22:9-12

Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us...- EPHESIANS 3:20

The Lord replied, "My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest."- EXODUS 33:14

Trust in the Lord with all your hearts and lean not on your own understanding. In all ways submit to Him and He will make your paths straight.-Proverbs 3:5-6

God is trying to teach us lessons everyday so that we may become stronger believers and greater proclamations of His word. In order to do so we are not to have any other form of idolatry here on this earth. Whether it be our jobs, money or loved ones. God is only one we should be holding above all else on this earth.

We must know, that we do not have to worry. God will help us with this, just liked He helped Abraham. God loves to teach us lessons. I believe this is because many of us learn by doing. When we have to physically go and do something or make a correction, it makes more of a lasting impression on our lives and we learn. With God's power He will set our paths straight.

If you are struggling with holding something higher in your life, something higher than God, I ask you simply to pray about it. Pray for Him to help you overcome these incorrect idolatry feelings. You may not see it happen the next day, but overtime God will help us all grow along the correct path he has painted for us.

All we must do is ask for forgiveness and submit our open hearts to Him.
