Book Description
Have you ever wished, while praying to God, that you could hear His end of the conversation? When you tell Him you love Him and long to be with Him, what would His words be in return? How would God express His love and gentleness in our everyday lives? That's what this book is about. The Lord's message of assurance and comfort whispered in quiet moments of reflection. His sweet Spirit showing the gentle, tender side of our Saviour's love for us. The words of this book were not meant for one person who has come through a battle. It is the heart of God for all His children. He reaches beyond the letter of the law to unveil His consuming desire for His people. Your life has not taken Him by surprise. Hold fast to what He has spoken. Trust Him to know how to bring it to life. For you who have heard His promises that seem so far from reach, His words are not empty. He has known from the beginning. For you who have not heard the promises of God for your life, know that they are there. He does indeed have specific promises and a calling for you. No person has more value to Him than another. We are one under Him. Draw near to Him and know He is longing for you. He is not a God who remains aloof. When we draw close, His nearness is overwhelming. Listen for His heart as He calls for you. For you who have wandered far from the hand of God, His hand is still extended toward you. He still longs to bring you in. Put away all shame and know that He can purify you once again. Jesus said, "It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick...I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners." (Matt.9:12-13) To the world she was a failure, but God's promises told her that He saw beyond the present to what was to come. From childhood, Beth M. Taylor has felt the call of God on her life. Intimacy with the Lord began at a very early age. Freedom, however, was a work in progress. By the time she had reached her final year of high school, she was only a shell of the person God had created her to be. Fear and anxiety were buried deep within her and manifested in every aspect of her life. She fought to overcome the bondage of fear and to step into the freedom that waited for her. Those years of being alone taught her how to trust Him in the darkest hours. In the blackest days of life, as she waited on the Lord, His words brought forth life in her once again.

Jessie Schlaser exemplifies Jesuss words in Matthew 25, Then the King will say to those on His right. Come, you who are blessed by my Father, take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me. I tell you the truth, whatever you did for the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me. Caring for the least of these has been Jessies life. Now she shares that life with you in words of wisdom and encouragement she received from God in some of her darkest hours of personal pain and in testimonies of Gods power manifest in her life and through her in the lives of others. Walk with Jessie as well through visions of the garden of God and heed the warnings of the troubles of our times. This book gives a chronological look at the walk with God of an everyday follower of Jesus Christ, someone just like you and me. Jessies purpose in sharing with you is that you might be encouraged, uplifted, and inspired in your own daily life, whatever stage of life you are in and whatever you are going through.
