“Little Steps”

(Taken from Charles Slagle’s book, From the Father’s Heart, a series of letters expressing the Father heart of God)[1]

Delightful Deliverer,

You are not wrong to be stepping out in faith at the moment! Am I not the One who released you into this path by My very own words? Just remember not to judge by outward appearances. Also, refuse to retreat into doubt and introspection when some of those little steps you are taking seem to fall short of shaking heaven and earth. Bear in mind—it is first the seed and the sprout, then the stalk and the foliage, and finally the flower and the fruit.

Child, Our Kingdom is an enduring one. It is built on a Solid Foundation—line upon line, precept upon precept—here a little, there a little. Our Kingdom is a quiet one, but an invincible one. Is it noise and fireworks you want, or power?

I have spoken these thoughts to your heart already, but I knew you would enjoy having them confirmed…Keep moving! I AM!

Proudly! Joyfully!

Dad
