bringing forth

In my quiet time yesterday morning, 

the Lord shared the following word with me:

You have been carrying that which I planted within you --

Just as a woman carries a child for nine months 

before bringing it into the world

so too shall it be with you

I called you from your home 

almost nine months ago

your time of birthing is near 

and you will be surprised 

at what We have brought forth

for My glory –

you have been through all the uncertainty 

like morning sickness

the heavy slowness 

the fatigue and wanting to give up –

but I tell you as a warning

the hardest is yet ahead

the pains of labour

but push through, push through

to new life!
