Only You: You Are Unique!

May 29, 2012 by C.L. Leon

For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.

Ephesians 2:10

 

You are unique, dear woman. That is what makes you priceless. The Lord will never, ever replace you. Though He has millions more children, each one wonderful, none is exactly like you! Never give up your uniqueness in order to be what you admire in someone else. Glean all you can from everyone, but duplicate none. You are too priceless as an original to be reduced to a cheap copy.

 

Perhaps you do not understand what an amazing jewel of a woman you are. The Lord created you for a purpose that only you can fulfill. Pay attention now! Have you yet realized how intensely God loves you? In spite of your afflictions, He loves you. The Father sweeps you up into His arms and clutches you. He holds your head to His breast, your ear to His heart. He has held you through the rough places, trusting the strength of His arms to keep you through the pains of life. It has been a long ride, but He is still holding you.

 

Perhaps you have asked the Father for something, and He didn’t do what you thought He should have done. Perhaps you are disappointed that He didn’t show up in the way you thought He would. Before you feel unloved, take a moment and think. Isn’t there evidence in your life that, from time to time, He has brought you through a storm? Don’t you dare act as if the Father doesn’t love you just because He doesn’t always cater to you. Perhaps you should be glad for the love He has already shown and the night rides He has already carried you through. That love constantly affirms your uniqueness.

 

You see, our society has spent so much time criticizing differences that we fail to see God in diversity. He never made two snowflakes alike. He wants us to be different. Different doesn’t mean less than or more than – just different.

 

If God hadn’t made you as He did, you wouldn’t have been able to persevere as you have. There are many people who couldn’t take what you have been through. God wants to use you in a unique way to be a blessing to those around you. Remember, people are blessed when you are sincere – not perfect, just sincere.

 

Don’t let anyone manipulate you into forsaking your own uniqueness. Those people weren’t built for your life’s destiny, and they can’t play your role. Aren’t you glad that God prepared you for life instead of preparing life for you? So, whether life is ready for you or not, you are ready for it! Just tell the world, “Get ready, get ready, get ready, for I am coming!”

Be yourself. Be unique. God loves you!

Your Right to be Blessed

May 21, 2012 by C.L. Leon

The Father wants to release the held-up blessing to the pressed-down daughter. Ultimately the Father’s will is all that matters. So when the daughters of Zelophehad in Numbers 27 had a problem with their inheritance, Moses asked the Lord what to do. This was the first case of gender discrimination mentioned in the Scriptures. The court of heaven ruled in favor of some women who knew how to go after their father’s estate!

 

If you have your Father’s favor, no one can stop your blessing. Don’t waste your time and energy fighting the opposition. If God is for you, who can be against you? Romans 8:31 What then shall we say to these things? If god is for us, who can be against us? Just remember who is for you. Your faith will be strengthened through conflict and struggle.

 

Perhaps there are some things in store for you. Don’t be intimidated. Go for it. You may be a single parent. There may not be a “son” to fend for you. Your husband may be long gone. But your blessing doesn’t center around a man, or men in general, for that matter. By God’s grace and power, you can still receive your inheritance.

 

Why don’t you, as a daughter of the King, go after what the Father has willed for you? He died for you, and He wants you to have your inheritance. I encourage you: Go for all that life has to offer you. Take a large slice of life. Savor every bite. Your Father has willed you good things.

 

If you have been walking around with a drab spirit and a broken heart, I am talking to you. If you have been in a state of depression that is robbing you of these precious years when you should be thriving and pursuing your destiny, hear this word. Don’t waste another day in regret, sleeping away God’s mercy, losing your chance to achieve and receive. Get up and get busy. You may have to work it out. You may have to push and shove. But life is worth the struggle.

 

Now pull off those ragged house shoes and that gingham dress. Take those curlers out of your hair. Take a long, hot, luxurious bath and put on some sweet cologne. If you want it, you can have it. Your Father left you loaded. You have a right to be blessed. The very fact that God has endowed you with ability proves that He has a purpose for you. He gave you the gifting, but you will have to give an account of what you do with it.

 

Every day is a gift from God. What you do with that day or with your talent is your gift to Him. Have you hidden your talent because someone said you didn’t have it? Did they say it was because you are a woman? That’s ridiculous. You are only limited by your own creativity and concentration.

 

Many women have suppressed their God-given ability trying to live up to some negative stereotype – the same stereotype God wants them to shatter. You have neglected a right that the Father gave you at a great sacrifice. What a price He has paid to give you your inheritance. It cost the Father his Son’s life. It would be like a natural father working all his life to give his daughter her inheritance, and then have her squander it. Or worse still, refuse to claim it because she is a woman.

 

Remember the daughters of Zelophehad? These women challenged the system at a time when women were considered inferior to men. In spite of public opinion, they chose to speak up for their rights, and they got what they wanted.

 

Many of you are dying from apathy and boredom. You have not challenged life, and life has not challenged you. You need to exercise your potential. Get your blood circulating. Good, spiritual aerobic exercise will start your heart pumping.  A stimulating life can even help guard you from mischief and sin. When you’re bored, Satan takes the initiative. And you know where that leads.

 

It is possible to construct an obstacle in your own mind. Don’t be limited by your own tendency to settle for less. If you’re not careful, you will talk yourself out of living. Speak up and say, “I need more life in my life.”

 

The daughters of Zelophehad refused to be wallflowers when they knew they had the Father’s favor. Do likewise. Bloom and blossom and grow in the light of the Father’s love.

How to be Good to Yourself

April 16, 2012 by C.L. Leon

Many women today have gone through different kinds of abuse as a child. These women usually grow up with more problems than just the pain of that particular abuse. Many live with the anger that nobody helped them, nobody intervened on their behalves, or that nobody stepped in to rescue them. Other people may have seen them being abused, but nobody helped. Ezekiel 16:5 – No eye pitied you, to do any of these things for you, to have compassion on you; but you were thrown out into the open field, when you yourself were loathed on the day you were born. Most women who have been abused as children feel this way – like a throw-away baby.

 

Abused women are not the only ones who feel this way. Divorced women, rejected women, and abandoned women may also feel like throw-away babies. In fact, virtually every single woman may go through this experience at some time of other in their lives. It is very difficult for you to feel good about yourself when people reject you. All kinds of thoughts then go through your head. You start to think bad about yourself too. “If they don’t think that I’m worth anything, maybe I’m not. If they are willing to throw me aside, maybe I am of no value.”

 

I implore you sisters, never allow another person’s view of you to control the way you see yourself. That is simply too much power to give to another person. If people don’t like you or see you for who you really are, or don’t appreciate you, that’s their problem not yours. But if you decide to sit at home and wallow in self-pity because others don’t like you, then it becomes your problem.

 

Those who reject you have no ability to see inside you, to hear the meaning behind your words, to feel the quality of your touch. They have bought a lie that the devil has told them about you. They may believe that lie if they please to do so, but you, don’t you dare believe it. They are not worth your pain and suffering.

 

If you buy that deception and come to the conclusion that you don’t like yourself, then you can never like anybody else. When we are dealing with other people, we have to reach deep inside ourselves and treat them out of the supply that is in us. If your well is dry, then you don’t have anything to give to anyone else. Jesus said in Matthew 22:39 – “You shall love your neighbor as you love yourself.” If you don’t love yourself, then you have no love to give to your neighbor.

 

People who been treated hatefully become full of hate and can only give hate along the way. Those who have been criticized become filled with a critical spirit and can only give criticism. Those who been abused become bitter and angry and can only give abuse.

 

Refuse to accept the loathing of other people around you beloved. Do not for the life of you; allow their opinions to creep into your inner person. Refuse to loathe yourself. If no one has compassion on you, remember that God does and that is reason enough for you to be good to yourself.

 

You don’t have to live up to what someone else thinks you’re supposed to be when you know who you really are. That was the same attitude Jesus had when He met the woman at the well. She also had been used and abused, had been rejected several times and had certainly gone through several divorces. She was upset and worried as she was approaching the well with her water pot on her shoulders. But what did Jesus do? He went straight to the heart of her problem.

 

John 4: 13-14 – “Whoever drinks of this water shall thirst again, but whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst. But the water that I shall give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up into everlasting life.” After that, Jesus went on to tell her all about her life and her five husbands – things that only God could know.

 

Maybe you are wounded and upset like this woman. Let me tell you that you cannot be healed of this kind of hurt through human efforts. The only way to be healed of this hurt is to get into the presence of God and let Him fill all the voids in your life. Follow His advice in Deuteronomy 4: 29-31 – “Seek the Lord your God.”  Going from friend to friend will not settle your pain. This woman had already tried that before. Remember, she had gone through five men already. The answer to your pain is not getting another man; it’s getting in touch with The Man – Jesus Christ the Lord and Savior.

 

You will never be able to break the grip of those former ways on your life until you know Jesus Christ. Come to Him just as you are. You will not be able to break away from anything that has attached itself to your life in your own strength. You need the strength of God to do that. James 4:7 – “Submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.” Knowing Him will give you the power to break away from the old self and the ties that hold you prisoner to your past.

 

Everyone else may pacify, but Jesus satisfies. He meets every need and every yearning. He heals every pain and every affliction. He lifts every burden and every trouble in your life. He’s The Man. Come to Him and He will heal your past so that you can look forward to a bright future. Jesus loves you beloved. He wants to take care of you and cherish you. Come and give Him all your hurt and pain. He will take it all and set you free to enjoy life.

 

Be Blessed Sisters!!

God Loves You the Way You Are

March 21, 2012 by C.L. Leon

We all know that God created the world and everything in it. We know that He created men and women in His own image. So why is it that at times we try so hard to change someone when we don’t like the way they are? Why do we mistreat others just because we don’t like the way they look or talk or act?

God made all of us exactly the way He wanted us to be. He made you exactly the woman He wanted you to be. He has made you beautiful in His eyes and crowned you with glory and honour. Be wary about dating somebody or marrying someone who demands that you change things about yourself to conform to what he thinks you ought to look like, talk like, act like, or dress like. That person doesn’t want what God created; he wants to be the one to do the creating. You are much better off sticking with what God created you to be than to substitute that for what some other person tries to create. Another person can never create you to be as good as what God has made.

You must develop within you the ability to disagree with those who feel differently about you. You must be able to say to another person: “You don’t approve of me? You don’t like the way I look? You don’t like the way I talk? You don’t think I have value? You don’t think I am worthy? Well, you know what? I disagree with you.”

You don’t have to get mad about it. Simply argue the point, fight over the facts, or spend the rest of your life trying to prove that you are right and they are wrong. All you need to do is simply disagree with them. You take your position and stand your ground. And just before you walk away, you turn and say calmly, “You have your opinion, but I also have mine. I disagree with your opinion. I value me, and I know God does too. So, whether you or anybody else don’t like the way I am doesn’t matter in the least to me.”

It’s time for you to look yourself and others in the eye, and to say with your attitude, if not your words: “Excuse me, but I have a right to be myself. Excuse me, but I have the right to express myself. Excuse me, but I have the right to my own opinions. Excuse me, but I have the right to use my faith. Excuse me, but I choose to agree with what God has said about me.”

Life can be very daunting if you cannot stand up for yourself and disagree with other people’s opinion of you. You are what you are. You are what God made you to be. Do not let anyone change you for anything in the world. God made you into someone special; whoever doesn’t like you that way, well just too bad for them. Send them packing if they want to make you the way they want you to be. If a man wants to change you for his advantage, then it means he doesn’t really love and care for you.

Think before you leap my sister. Wait on God and He will bring along the right man who will accept you just the way you are. You do not have to change anything to be accepted. You only have to wait on God. God loves you just the way you are and He will always do.

The Ministry of Marriage

February 27, 2012 by C.L. Leon

First of all, what is Marriage? Is it simply walking down the aisle and marrying the man of your dreams? Is it just the fact of being married and spending the rest of your life with one man? Marriage is all the above and much more. It is a ministry in itself. It is definitely not about selfish fulfillment. Marriage is more of you giving rather than you taking.

Maybe you started your marriage fresh and head over heels in love with him, but now things have become stale. Maybe you are now asking yourself if there can ever be a revival in your marriage. Maybe your intimacy has lost all its spontaneity and your love has become uncreative. Maybe he doesn’t always seem to be in touch with where you are. So what do you do now? Do you give up and let yourselves drift apart day by day, or do you take a stand to try and save your marriage?

When you decided to accept your husband’s marriage proposal, you accepted to marry an imperfect person. You knew then that he was not perfect and that he will never be. You agreed to marry everything he is and everything else he has been before you came along. You inherited all his strengths, his fears and his weaknesses. Marriage is a package deal my friend, and you simply cannot just pick out the parts you want and leave the ones you don’t. You either take it all or nothing.

Your husband will always have a little boy inside him, and God will give you the grace to minister to that child inside. Healing is a process beloved. Even the smallest cut takes time to heal. If you wait on God, He will certainly give you the oil of compassion and the sweet wine of sincere love to pour into your husband’s wounds and your own, and heal your marriage in the process.

The ministry of marriage is a serious ministry. Paul teaches us married women not to be too spiritual that we cannot attend to our ministry of marriage. (1 Corinthians 7:33-34) That tells us that God wants us to be concerned in pleasing our husbands and vice versa. Sisters, our ministry as a wife is not in the mall, not in the nursing home, but in our own homes and to our own husbands. Our priorities need to start at home with him and then spread to other life’s issues.

Decorating the house of marriage is our responsibility. That being said, it does not mean that you will not have time for God because you have to attend to your husband’s needs first. God will never release your from your relationship with Him, he only sets some priorities which you must adhere to. He wants you be committed to Him as well as be a companion to your husband.

Proverbs 14:1 The wise woman builds her house, but the foolish pulls it down with her hands.

Marriage can be very difficult at times my sister. It has been said before that marriage is not for the faint-hearted. But you know what? Marriage is for everyone. God saw that it was not good for Adam to be alone, so He made the first marriage ceremony ever to be recorded in the history of mankind. He wants to bless your marriage, but first you must allow Him to heal you so that you can minister to your husband effectively. You can bring the love, the joy, the laughter back into your marriage if you only let God help you.

The devil will try his utmost best to rob you of the joy of being married. He will bring along all kinds of problems between you and your husband just to break up your marriage. He will tell you that your husband is not good enough, that he is seeing someone else, that you made a mistake the day you married him, he is not the one for you, he is not handsome enough, etc…..

Beloved, ask yourself these questions. The first time you met your husband and you started dating him, was he handsome? Did you think that he was good enough for you then? Did he make you laugh? Did he give you a sense of purpose? Did he make you feel special? Did he make you feel safe? Were you happy just to be at his side? If you answer yes to all these questions, then ask yourself this one. What has happened that has made you grow apart?

Shifting the blame will not fix anything. As wives, God has given us the ability to settle problems in our marriage. If when situations arise you do not sit down together to discuss them, but instead you both start to blame each other, then the devil will get a foothold on your marriage. He will make the situation look even worse than it is. He will bring all kinds of nasty thoughts to your head. Beloved, the best solution to save your marriage is not in the hands of a marriage counselor. It is in your own hands.

How do you do that? Simply, keep showing him your love. Show him your appreciation for something good that he has done. Show him your respect. Keep praying for him. Trying to change him will not do you any good. It will simply make the problem even worse. You cannot change anyone. Leave him in the hands of God. He alone has the power to change your husband.

Where has all the love gone? What has happened that has made your marriage fail? What do you do now? Is divorce a better solution? Beloved, the bible says that God hates divorce. I know that it is a trend in the world today. People get married and divorce like it is nothing. But that is not what God intended for your marriage. He loves the ministry of marriage, which is why He created it in the first place.

What about your children? Don’t you think they would be happier growing up with both mum and dad by their side? Is it not a strain on them when they see you both fighting and arguing all the time? Why do they have to go back and forth between parents when they can easily live with both of you together? Sisters, God wants to save your marriage. He wants to bring that love and intimacy back. Communication is a great part of saving your marriage.

Let God heal you today beloved, and then you can bring that healing along with you into your marriage. You cannot make anyone happy unless you are already happy. Your husband is counting on you. Your children are counting on you. Arise today sisters, and take your place as the wife that God made you to be. Bring revival in your marriage.

How to Cope with Persecution

February 16, 2012 by C.L. Leon

Persecution comes in many different ways. It comes from many different avenues in life. Sometimes it may feel that everywhere you turn there is some kind of persecution waiting for you around the corner. Some are persecuted by their unsaved friends who ridicules them for being a Christian, others are persecuted by their unsaved families, and yet some by total strangers. Some Christians find it easy to deal with persecution from the unsaved; but how does one deal with it when it comes from one’s own brethren in the church? What do you do when your brother or sister in Christ suddenly rise up against you for no reason at all? How do you cope with that?

Matthew 10:21 Now brother will deliver up brother to death, and a father his child; and children will rise up against parents and cause them to be put to death.

These things have been prophesied and they are happening today in our churches, in our homes and in our society. As Christians, we all know that we are supposed to live together in harmony; but if we do not have the likeness of Christ in us, then we shall never be able to do that. Jesus told us to love one another as he has loved us. He told us to love our enemies and pray for those who persecute us and say all kinds of evil things against us for His name’s sake.

Brethren, it is not easy to love your enemy is it? Of course not, but Jesus told us to do exactly that. You may be asking yourself right now, how do I love someone who has hurt me so deeply? How do I forgive someone who has stabbed me and broken my heart into tiny little pieces? But let me tell you beloved, that if you do not learn how to forgive your brother or sister, then you shall not receive forgiveness for your sins either. How are we going to live together in the kingdom of God if we cannot live together here on earth? It is impossible.

We are members of one body brethren. We all play a significant role in making the body of Christ function. When one member suffers we all must suffer with them. Would anyone in their right mind take a knife and plunge it in their own arms or legs and not feel the pain in their whole body? They will definitely feel the excruciating pain ripping through their bodies. It is the same with the body of Christ. How can one member of the body stab another member and the whole body not feel the pain? None of us have arrived yet beloved. The bible says in Romans 3:23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.

Yes, my friends, we are all sinners. We all need to be forgiven. Why do we keep persecuting our brethren over and over again? What is it in us that we allow the devil to enter our hearts and cause us to stab our own brother or sister? Is it not enough that the world persecute us? Why in the world do we keep giving hell a reason to rejoice over us? Why do we keep crucifying Christ over and over again?

Luke 17: 1-2 It is impossible that no offences should come, but woe to him through whom they do come! It would be better for him if a millstone was hung around his neck, and he was thrown into the sea, than he should offend one of these little ones.

Beloved, do not let the devil enter into your life and cause you to persecute your brethren. We need to stick together and fight the good fight so that we may rejoice together at the coming of our Lord. If we cannot live in unity then we are not fit to be called children of God, because God is a God of love, peace and unity.

Persecutions will come and go every day, but we must learn how to endure them. We need to keep persevering until the end when we shall receive our due rewards. If you desire to live a godly life in Christ Jesus then you will have to suffer persecution (2 Timothy 3:12)

James 1:2-4 My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.

1 Peter 2:20 For what credit is it if, when you are beaten for your faults, you take it patiently? But when you do good and suffer, if you take it patiently, this is commendable before God.

Matthew 10:22-23 And you will be hated by all for My name’s sake. But he who endures till the end will be saved. When they persecute you in this city, flee to another. For assuredly, I say to you, you will not have gone through the cities of Israel before the Son of Man comes.

As long as you are in Christ beloved, you will never stop being persecuted. But you must never ever let persecution make you give up on God; you must endure till the end and be saved. Jesus was persecuted form all four sides when He was on earth; even those who were close to Him and were supposed to be His friends persecuted Him at one point or another, but He endured it till the point of death. If you are a real follower of Christ expect to be persecuted and ridiculed. You must now learn to love your persecutors just as Jesus loved even those who crucified Him.

1 John 4:7-8 Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and anyone who loves is born of God and knows God. He who does not love does not know God, for God is love.

Do you know God beloved? If you do, then love as He loves you. Obey His commands and live a holy life and He shall fight your battles for you. He shall give you peace in the midst of the storm.

Exodus 14:14 The Lord will fight for you, and you shall hold your peace.

Isaiah 54:17 No weapon formed against you shall prosper, and every tongue which rises against you in judgement you shall condemn.

The only thing you need to do when you are persecuted beloved is to hold your peace just like Jesus did. If you do that, then the Lord, the Mighty Warrior in battle, the Captain of the host of heaven, will arise with His armies and He will fight for you. He will bring down every stronghold on your behalf and you shall have the victory.

A Way in the Wilderness and a River in the Desert

February 8, 2012 by C.L. Leon

Isaiah 43:18-19 Do not remember the former things, nor consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing, now it shall spring forth; shall you not know it? I will even make a road in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.

What is a wilderness? It is an open deserted field. What is a desert? It is a place of solitaire desolation. Both of these places produce a sense of dehydration. Life can be very hard when you are in a wilderness or a desert. Sometimes we travel through wildernesses and deserts in our spiritual walk with God. But what should we do when that happens? We need to keep going and keep praying that God will make a way out of there for us, and believe you me, He will.

Contrary to what some people might think, being in the wilderness is not a punishment from God. We put ourselves in the wilderness many times when we slack in our prayer lives. When we become covetous and we envy what others have, we can easily put ourselves in the wilderness. When we are not content with what God has given us and we desire to have more then we can easily put ourselves in the wilderness.

God promises us His presence in every single stage of our lives. We can rest assured that He has our backs no matter what. No matter how dry the wilderness or how desolate the desert we are in, He will make a way out of there for us if we only trust and rely on Him.

Psalms 139:8-10 If I ascend into heaven, You are there; if I make my bed in hell, behold, You are there. If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, even there Your hand shall lead me, and Your right hand shall hold me.

God will never leave you nor forsake you. He will always be there to lift you up. There will be those who will try to demean and belittle you. They will try to discriminate against you because you are women. Fight not for equality but for neutrality. Your distinctions are too valuable to forfeit. You are the daughters of the King. You do not have to fight your way to the place of being treated like men. If you do that, you will soon find yourself in the place of solitaire desolation. You will end up in the desert and in the wilderness all by yourself. The real honour is to be recognized and honored as women.

1 Corinthians 10:13 No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make a way of escape, that you may be able to bear it.

He will make a way of escape for you even in the midst of temptations. He never once said that He will take us out of the wilderness, but He said He will provide water for us and He will make a way of escape. That means that He will help us and lead us so that we can find our way out of the mess we are in. But first, we must be able to forget the past, and then God will make a way and do something new in our lives. Remember beloved that the biggest enemy of a fresh start is the memory of yesterday.

Philippians 3:13-14 Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead. I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.

The apostle Paul talks about pressing “toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.” Pressing is pushing. When you commit to bring forth all that God has for you, you may have to push against everything anybody ever did to you or said about you. You may have to battle years of suppression, depression, and oppression. You may have to push with all your might to release the treasure God has put within you, but He wants to bring it to birth. He put the treasure there and He’ll help you to bring it forth; but it is up to you to push. In fact, it may not happen if you don’t push.

But what do you push against? You don’t push against other people. This is not a battle in the natural. It is a battle in the spirit. You may have to push against the opposition of the devil in its many forms. His opposition attacks you in many subtle ways such as bad memories, low self-esteem, or feelings of unworthiness. He may have spent years already pushing you aside, pulling you back and putting you down. But now the Lord is saying to you, “I want to open you up. I want you to give birth to that which I have put in you.”

Beloved, it is time for you to say to the world, “It is my turn to conceive. It is time for me to give birth to the treasure God has put in me. It is time for me to be loosed to do what God has created me to do.” When you give birth to the treasure God has put in you, everything around you will be different – your marriage, your relationship with your children, your place in your church, your neighbourhood, and your workplace. God’s blessing is an overflowing blessing and it touches every area of our lives.

Do not fail today to give birth to what God has put in you. Now is the time for the baby – that treasure – to be born. Now is the time for you to drink from the river in the desert and to find your way out of the wilderness you are in. Go for it beloved. God has already prepared the way. Just follow it and you will be set free from the memories of yesterday that keeps you in the wilderness of life.

Isaiah 41:17-20 The poor and needy seek water, but there is none, their tongues fail for thirst. I, the Lord, will hear them; I, the God of Israel, will not forsake them. I will open rivers in desolate heights, and fountains in the midst of valleys; I will make the wilderness a pool of water, and the dry lands springs of water. I will plant in the wilderness the cedar and the acacia tree, the myrtle and the oil tree; I will set in the desert the cypress tree and the pine and the box tree together, that they may see and know, and consider and understand together, that the hand of the Lord has done this, and the Holy One of Israel has created it.

Take the first step out of your wilderness and your desert and step into the fruitful place God has created for you today. It is never too late for you to start drinking from the fountain. God has prepared the way in the wilderness for you, so take it; He has made rivers in the desert for you, drink from it and quench your thirst.
