The Father Says Today: June 20th, 2016

The Father says today do not give in to self-pity. It is time to absent yourself from the assembly of the self-absorbed. Self-pity and self-absorption are part and parcel of the fallen condition. Pursuing My kingdom and anticipating My blessing is not about self-indulgence or narcissistic ideas about who you actually are in My kingdom. Resist, says the Father, the lies of the enemy when he works to seduce you by love of self. Look into the mirror of My word. See yourself transparently and honestly. Find out what it is to be accountable for your own character and actions. You are fully capable of that level of maturity – regardless of what others may think of you.
Chastisement is the privilege of sons, says the Father and I call you My beloved son and My beloved daughter. My Spirit within you enables the cry “Abba, Father”. Do you accept Me as Father in all things? Purpose in your heart that I am more than a benefactor and more than a distant, altruistic being that answers the cry of your heart. I am a Father. I created the concept of fatherhood for the primary purpose of revealing to you who I am in your life. Fathers are formative influences in the lives of their children. Allow Me to form you. Be correctable. Be a yielded vessel. Know what it is not only to ask forgiveness but to repent and reform those areas of your person and your life that you know fall short and grieve My heart. I will be right there to give you My enabling grace because I love you and hold you as the pupil of My eye.
