My children I want to encourage you this day to keep climbing. Keep climbing to the top to see all that I have been doing for you. Keep climbing and see the improvement, the accomplishments you have made in Me. I want to encourage you My children to step out from out of the cave that you have been hiding in within the midst of the mountain that you are climbing. You need to get moving and keep moving up and forward in Me.

Quit seeking man’s approval. It is My approval that you should seek. Man will lead you astray and does not know what is good for you. I the Lord your God, your father, I know and see all. I know what you need and what is good for you. It is My approval that you must desire. Wanting the approval of man has given you a misinterpretation of what is going on around you and what I am trying to do in your life.

Too many of you My children dwell in the caves and in the crevices of the mountain because you seek the attention that may come from man when they see you in a state of moping. But you are to be joyful and radiant in My glory light, not sluggish and downtrodden. There is nothing that man can give you that will satisfy you, My children. It is time to hold your head up high and let Me have full control of what you are holding onto so dearly.

Do you think you can do a better job at what needs to be done then I do? No you can’t so then give Me all. If you want the results that you are looking for give it to Me. Give Me it all. The weights that you are carrying are going to hinder you from climbing up the mountain in the pace that you should be climbing it. Give Me these weights, these battles, these concerns, and these questions that you have. Give Me all control. I know what I am doing and I want you to trust Me.

Look beyond what you see in front of you. Know that I am bringing to pass all that I said I would bring to pass. Have I not said that I work in order and there is a time table that is in place? Quit wondering if it is ever going to happen and just enjoy the moment you are in right now. Enjoy your climb with Me. There is much to take in and notice that you have been so blinded to.

I want to encourage you My children to look around you and look past the darkness, look past the negative. Focus on the things that I have for you to see and the beauty of what is around you and the positive things that are going on around you. The things that are dreadful around you are not going to do anything for you but cause you much pain, weariness, and bring you down. If you are experiencing or seeing things that you do not like, bring it before Me and let Me take over and handle it. Put it right into My hands and then continue to walk and climb in the wondrous things that I have for you.

There is a work to be done and you need to come out of hiding and enjoy the climb with Me. I am right here helping you every step of the way. Is it easy? No, but the more you climb the easier it becomes to keep climbing. You will stub your toe and graze your hand. You will feel pain and know what it is to feel, but it is how you recover from these things that helps you grow and know that you can overcome.

Be encouraged My children this day. Know that I am with you. Know that it is My approval you should seek. Know that as you focus on the beauty and positive things around you and give Me all of the negative and the battles that lurks around you, as you trust Me, that I will take care of it all and all you have to do is climb. Know that each step you take is one more step closer to the top of the mountain. You can do this thing My children. Be encouraged that I am with you, I love you, and I will take care of it all as you let go and allow Me to be God and trust Me that I will bring the results you seek.
