Quit making things so complicated. Quit making excuses on why you cannot serve Me, why you cannot be obedient, why you cannot fulfill your covenant and commitments you have made to Me, and why you cannot love as I have called you to love.

That is all they are, excuses! They are reasons to not change. They are reasons to not work and pay the price that I have already told you that you would pay. But did I not say that the yoke that you carry for Me is light? Then why such the big fight?

In your heart you truly do want to serve Me. In your heart you truly want to fulfill the calling I have placed on your life. Surrender your all to Me and see that you have nothing to fear. I will not let you down.

The issue is you are so quick to dismiss the things of Me, but what about the things you did in the world? You researched, learned everything there was to learn, and took pleasure in applying yourself to overcome and win the levels of battles. Why can you not do this for Me and the things of Me?

Really think about these things and examine yourself in the mirror. Examine yourself up against My Word with a magnifying glass and see that what I am saying is the truth. If you would only apply yourself to Me and give Me a true chance.

Passion would never be an issue. You would push through to hear what I have to say and share with you. You wouldn’t be making excuses on why you have to get in My presence. You would be asking what more can you be doing instead of grumbling of the little things that I have asked of you.

Allow all fear to go. Allow all pride to be completely destroyed and walk out of the disappointment that you continuously walk under and see that I am a good and just God and what I say will come to pass will come to pass.

Look up to Me this day and surrender your all completely and close the doors to the enemy once and for all. See that you will not regret the decisions that I have laid out before you, but look forward to all that we will be doing together, you and I. For this really is an exciting time for My people who have been staying the course and continues to follow Me with all their hearts.
