Small Straws In A Soft Wind by Marsha Burns:
Do not give in to self-degradation and underestimating your ability to do all that is necessary in this season. I have called you and chosen you for such a time as this, but you must position yourself to cooperate with My leading, says the Lord. As long as you believe you are not worthy or up to the task, you will not fulfill your destiny. All you have to do is believe that you can do all things that I set before you.
Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
Revelation 21
The New Jerusalem
And I saw a new heaven, and a new earth; for the first heaven and the first earth passed away; and the sea is no more. And the holy city, newJerusalem, I saw coming down from God out of the heaven, being prepared as a bride being adorned for her husband. And I heard a great voice from out of the heaven, saying, Behold, the tent of God is with the men, and he shall pitch a tent with them, and they will be His people, and God Himself will be with them. And He shall wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death will not be any more, nor mourning, nor crying, nor misery — it shall not be any more, for the first things departed. And said the One sitting upon the throne, Behold, I make all things new. And He says to me, Write! for these words are true and trustworthy. And He said to me, It has taken place — the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and end. I will give to the one thirsting from out of the spring of the water of life without charge. The one overcoming shall inherit all, and I will be to him God, and he will be to Mea son. But to the timid ones, and unbelieving ones, and sinful ones, and ones being abhorrent, and murderers, and fornicators, and dealers in potions, and idolaters, and to all the liars, their part is in the lake burning with fire and sulphur, which is the second death.
The Bride of the Lamb
And one came from the seven angels, of the ones having the seven bowls being full of the seven last calamities, and spoke with me, saying, Come, I will show to you the wife, the bride of the Lamb. And he carried me away in Spirit upon a great and high mountain. And he showed to me the great city, holy Jerusalem, coming down from out of the heaven from God, having the glory of God. Her luminescence was likened to precious stone, as to jasper stone sparkling; having a great and high wall; having twelve gatehouses. And upon the gatehouses were twelve angels, and names being inscribed, which is of the twelve tribes of the sons of Israel. From the east three gatehouses; and from the north three gatehouses; and from the south three gatehouses; and from the west three gatehouses. And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and upon them twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb. And the one speaking with me had a golden reed measure, that he should measure the city, and its gatehouses, and its wall. And the city lies four-cornered, and its length is as much as the width. And he measured the city by the reed unto twelve thousand stadiums. The length, and the width, and the height of her were equal. And he measured her wall a hundred forty four cubits, the measure of a man, which is, of an angel. And the edifice of her wall was jasper; and the city pure gold, likened to pure glass. And the foundations of the wall of the city were adorned with every precious stone. The first foundation was jasper, the second sapphire, the third chalcedony, the fourth emerald, the fifth sardonyx, the sixth carnelian, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth chrysoprase, the eleventh hyacinth, the twelfth amethyst. And the twelve gatehouses were twelve pearls, whilst each one of the gatehouses was of one pearl. And the square of the city is of pure gold as transparent glass. And I saw no temple in her, for the Lord God almighty is her temple, and the Lamb. And the city has no need of the sun, nor of the moon, that they should shine forth in her; for the glory of God gives her light, and her lamp is the Lamb. And the nations shall walk by her light; and the kings of the earth shall bring the glory and their honor unto her. And her gatehouses in no way should be locked by day; for there will be no night there. And they shall bring the glory and the honor of the nations unto her. And in no way should enter into her anything common, and committing an abomination, and a lie; only the ones being written in the scroll of the life of the Lamb.

I made it all; so, trust Me in all things. If I made all of creation just for you, don’t you think I can handle your situation? Lay your burdens down and know that I am ALWAYS working on your behalf. Even when you don’t see it, I’m working.

August 26, 2024. It is of utmost importance that you seek and know the TRUTH. There have been many in the world who have been a trumpet for “their” truth. It is not truth at all UNLESS it lines up with the Truth that came to earth over 2000 years ago! Do not be deceived by something that sounds good or is very close to the truth. Study My Word and allow Me to reveal to you My eternal Truth.
2 Timothy 2:14-15 “Remind them of these things, charging them before God not to fight about words; this is in no way profitable and leads to the ruin of the hearers. Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who doesn’t need to be ashamed, correctly teaching the Word of Truth.” Jonas Bohlin
