- The Prison Conversation -

[Kingdom1]

"Father...?"

"...Yes, son?"

"...why does it have to be this way for now?"

"...to make you trust only in Me."

"...but it's scary."

"Don't be afraid..."

(thinks to himself)

"Because You are with me?"

"Yes, and I want to show you how mighty I am."

(builds trust in Him)

"through many trials and tribulations you enter the kingdom."

(thinks to himself)

"...so through pain and suffering, I enter into eternal life, Father?"

"...through much pain and suffering..."

(braces his fragile frame inside)

"...though you are weak, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand...do not be afraid."

(lets the word of the Lord sink in his deepest fears)

"...I will strengthen you...put your hope in Me and I will show you My wonders."

"...You, LORD, alone...are my hope."

(thinks about what has been said so far)

"...I feel helpless in this jail cell."

"...I put you in this helpless prison so you look to none other but Me..."

(starts to realize the purpose for where he is)

"You truly have brought me to a place where I trust not even in the hope of man......."

"...I give My glory to no other...My praise I give to no one."

(that truth sinks in)

"...You are with me..."

(the LORD is silent)

"...You said You are rejoicing over me with all Your heart and soul..."

(the LORD still remains silent)

(thinks to himself hard)

"..............I understand, Father.......I understand that even though I don't feel You in my midst..."

(then the LORD speaks)

"...I truly am, My son."

(takes the whole conversation to heart and trusts in the LORD)
