My children, I have given you things to do. I have spoken words into your life. I have given you promises. I have given you instructions. I have done all these things for you. You take what I tell you and run with it, without asking Me for the full details or sitting in front of Me to get the full understanding of what I am telling you. You take things by your own understanding and this has been one of the biggest down falls of My children.

I really want you to search yourself today and see that what I am revealing to you today is the truth. You have taken so much for face value that you are not seeing the whole picture by the piece that is obvious before your face. You are just seeing the seeds, not the roots, not the fertilizer, not the tending to the ground, not the watering, not the growth, nor are you looking to the harvest. All you are seeing is the little seed of what is intended to be a tree in your life and treating just as a seed. It will not grow without the proper tending and care. It will not grow without the understanding of the purpose or the use of the seed. If you do not plant the seed it will never grow.

This is what you have been doing with My Word. You have been taking the seeds and holding onto them hoping they would do something. This is not how it works. It is not the order of things. I have given you instructions. I have given you guidance. I have given you mercy and grace through the process, but I cannot do anything until the first, correct step is made.

Too many of you, My children are expecting Me to do it all. This is not the order of things either. What would you learn if I did it all? What kind of world would this be if I did everything while you sat back and collected the rewards? This is not how it works. You cannot take what you think you heard and what you think you should do with it. I speak to you in clarity and I speak in depth, if you stop and really listen. If you seek Me, you will get all the answers you need.

Too many don’t want to seek Me. They just want the quick answers and to do what they want anyway and think the same result should occur. This is not at all what is going to happen. I tell you step by step what to do to achieve the ending result. It is up to you to be obedient and do it.

There is no room in My kingdom for laziness nor selfishness. The foundation must be love. To love should always be greater than to be loved. You will find that as you love, being loved will come in the right ways, in the right time, and in ways that you would have never imagined. My commandments are to love Me with all your heart, body, soul, and mind. The second is to love one another as you love yourself. Really allow Me to minister to your hearts today what that means. It does not say to demand to be loved, it says to love. Once you take the first step and you really get before Me and ask for Me to assist you in this area, it will not be hard at all. If you are loving on Me then I can show you how to love yourself and to love others because you will then see them as I see them because we will be united in love. We will be one.

There is so much more depth that I want to bring you in but you must let go of your own understanding. You must seek Me in all things and then you watch things fall into place. If you are missing things in life, seek Me and you shall find the answers.

I have a place set out for you to come and dine with Me. I have a place set up for you that you can come and talk with Me. I have much to share and reveal to you, even about your own very life, but you must take the time to come and communicate with Me. As you do this then you will learn what it is to love to be in My presence, to love Me, and in return it will become such a part of you that the rest of My commandments and laws will never be hard to follow. Obedience will be automatic. Never underestimate the power of love that you and I can share.

You will find this out as you come and seek Me. Seek Me for the answers and you shall find them. This is a promise I gave you from long ago and it very much applies today. Take the step and seek Me. Take the step and ask Me to give you the steps that you need. Seek Me and ask Me what I meant when I talked to you about something. Be open and willing to receive the knowledge and wisdom I give you and be obedient to follow through with it.

See the importance of this My little ones. Do not fall into the traps of your own understanding any longer, but come to Me. Spend time with Me and you will see a drastic change in your life and you will know what it is to enjoy life and enjoy following Me. All you have to do is take the first step in seeking Me and I will meet you, answer you, and reveal all that you need to know. I look forward to this deeper level with you. Take the first step and I am waiting for you.

“But if from there you seek the LORD your God, you will find him if you look for him with all your heart and with all your soul.” (Deuteronomy 4:29)

“I love those who love me, and those who seek me find me.” (Proverbs 8:17)

“Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. I will be found by you,” declares the LORD, “and will bring you back from captivity.

“The LORD is good to those whose hope is in him, to the one who seeks him;” (Lamentations 3:25)

“I seek you with all my heart; do not let me stray from your commands.” (Psalm 119:10)
