You are Complete in Me

By Hazel Holland

My beloved child, I have watched your every move since the moment you took your first breath and entered this world. I rejoiced the day you were born, and it hurt My heart to see that your own father could not rejoice with you over the things that made you, you.

But I delight in you and in your uniqueness. I made you as the apple of My eye, and I have a plan to see you fulfill all that I have designed you to be... in Me.

However, My heart sees how you run after good men’s ideas and teachings as if they were all directly inspired by Me. But you fail to see that you are running after a mixture. You run after teachings that promise holiness and good works because you never received the needed praise or affirmation for anything that you did from your earthly father. You always yearned for his attention and love, but never received it.

Now you look to other men as your spiritual father... some are worthy of that honor and some are not. Most have their own agendas to promote that are not My agendas for them or for you. You have already been “stripped” by your earthly father, and have allowed others to strip you of your self-respect and self-worth because you have not felt good about yourself. I know that because I see the big hole in your heart that your father left, and that hole can only be filled by Me.

But as long as you try to fill that hole with other men’s ideas and beliefs about My holiness, you will always be searching, but never finding. I am not an idea or a belief, but a Person to know intimately. I am your Father, and I long for you to find your rest in Me... continually.

I want you to know in your heart that I accept you just as you are. I am well pleased with you because My Son has redeemed you by His blood. That is why I find no fault in you. As I am gradually changing you from the inside out by My Spirit, that change doesn’t make you any more precious to me that you are at this very moment. You can never earn My love by what you do...not ever. My child, My love is always given freely as My gift to you. You are complete in Me.

Healing Words From Father's Heart

By Hazel Holland

You cannot work at getting closer to Me, my child. You are My child whom I love and cherish, period. I love you just as you are. There’s nothing that you can do, and there’s no behavior that you can perform that will make Me love you more or make you more ready to receive more of My Spirit. I gave My life for you so that you may have real life in Me through the Spirit. NOW!

You don’t realize it, but you are dying of thirst and trying to fill that void inside with things that can never quench your thirst. These things can only satisfy you momentarily. They do not begin to fix the real spiritual thirst that I know you have inside...

I Am the living water that you need, and I offer it to you freely. But you continually draw back from me because you believe that you aren’t good enough... yet. You won’t drink of Me unless it is through listening to someone else talk about Me. But I want direct daily intimacy with you so that you can know My heart!

There’s nothing that you can do or be to deserve Me. I love you just as you are. I am the Father that you never had, and I am closer to you than the very breath you breathe. I am the Father of your spirit. I knew you before you were born, and I love you with a love that will never let you go. You are mine!

How I long for you to run to My outstretched arms so that I can embrace you and soothe and quiet your heart. I’m always waiting for you to run to me and stay with Me. I’m lonely for your presence. I want to make My home in your heart... I want to take up residence so that we can have moment by moment communion.

But I know that you still fear to trust my love for you on a deep level. I know that you are trying to control what you feel inside, but that prevents Me from getting to another layer of your wounded heart. The protective armor that you wear in order not to feel pain, I want to remove and wash away with an avalanche of My love to your thirsty soul!

I want you to know that you are My child... warts and all. I want to flood your heart and soul with a revelation of My heart that you have never known before. Not an intellectual understanding... you’ve got that down pat. I want to go with My Spirit to a far deeper level of your emotions...a level that you keep hidden from even yourself most of the time. I want to devastate you with such a revelation of My heart... an on-going daily revelation of My heart for you that will not only heal your brokenness, but equip you for ministering My heart to others who are also broken.

Although it may be difficult for you to understand right now, I have broken you for blessing! The only way for you to be the blessing to others that I have designed for you to be is to allow Me to fill those broken places with my agape love. I want My heart to flow through your spirit to others.
