May you prepare the tables of your heart as you meet alone with the Lord early each morning, allowing Him to impress the image of His nature upon you, as He reveals and proclaims Who He is, leaving you transformed as He writes large in your spirit that which He wants others to read in your life. Exodus 34

Seek Me, My child, seek My heart. Do not take your eyes off Me. Do not be distracted by manifestations in others, or desire to duplicate the experiences of others.
Consider not that the way I deal with or bring blessings to one is the standard for all. You are not the same as any of My other children, though you receive the same depth of My love and breadth of My forgiveness.
My purposes for you are different than others and My lessons and training in your life are different from others. Encourage them, and be encouraged by them, but do not watch them or follow their path or practice their gifts. Receive from Me, only. Obey Me, only. Seek Me, only.
Share with others what I give you, that they may have confirmation of what I am speaking to them; receive what they share with you, and see if it bears witness with what I have spoken in your heart. Join together with others in praise to and worship of Me, knitting yourselves together in unity and cherishing one another, meeting each others needs and bearing one another’s burdens, but do not find your identity in the crowd, for you are Mine, alone.
Do not think you can draw nourishment from other believers without first being in relationship with Me. I am the true Vine, and only I can give you life. You cannot live off the life of others, for there are no parasites in My kingdom.
You must come to Me, you must stand in My light, you must kneel before My throne, you must eat of My body, you must be washed in My blood. There is no other Way but Me, there is no other Redemption but Mine, there is no other Love but that which I give freely and unrestrained when you call to Me.
Come, My beloved, turn to Me to the exclusion of all others, know My passion for you, and grow in the purpose and image I have envisioned for you.
May you keep the sabbath of the Lord holy to Him in your heart, honoring His call to you to trust Him for the safeguarding of what He has given you and the provision of what you need, seeking His face, learning His ways, discerning His will, following His leading, obeying His direction, sharing His love, ministering to His people. Exodus 35
May you gladly give back to the Lord that which He has freely provided you with so that the work of building His tabernacle, ministering to His saints, may be accomplished according to the pattern given from heaven. Exodus 35
May you consider the cost paid for you by Christ Jesus and see His love demonstrated at each step as He voluntarily accepted for you that which no man could legitimately accuse Him of. Offer to Him, then, the appropriate thanks from your heart and praise from your soul because His work was more than sufficient, even for your needs. In this way, you will realize the love of the Father Who has allowed the injury and death of His beloved Son to be the basis of accepting you in, and adding you to, His family of children who call Him “Abba.” Matthew 27
May you not trust in either your resources or your skills, your strength or your wisdom, for what are they before the Lord Who sees all and watches each, having formed every heart and encompasses all they do, choosing as His inheritance the ones who wait in hope on Him. Psalm 33
May you place your hope in His unfailing love, for the eyes of the Lord remain on those who fear Him. Psalm 33
May your heart rejoice in the Lord as you learn to trust in His holy name when you see His unfailing love rest upon you. Psalm 33
