In a vision I saw Jesus come before me like as if at my feet very much like when He washed the disciples feet. He then said that I was esteemed by Him. This is true for all of us. He greatly esteems all of us.
Speaking this word to me He showed me that His gracious loving words to us serve to call out the best in us. He sees the best in us and calling it out causes us to grow which overwhelms more and more any behavioral inconsistencies and brokenness in our lives. He showed me that not only does perfect love cast out all fear, it calls forth the best in us. It calls out the holiness that He sees in us. By His blood we have been made new, filled with His perfection and glory. He showed me that His love expressed toward us, building us up, is life. I then saw in a vision, a flower breaking through asphalt, a tree’s roots lifting tons of concrete out the way, green moss crumbling a granite cliff side. He said that is what His love toward us is. It breaks the rock so that new life emerges. We are emerging into fullness daily as He pours His life in us and through us.
You are esteemed by Him. You are good. You are perfect. You are holy because that is what He sees in you and is saying about you always. Grow.
In light of this, He’s encouraging us to draw out the best in others by calling it out as we interact with them. By doing so they grow because of the graciousness we show toward them. We are calling forth the goodness Jesus placed within them. It’s like sunshine that causes a flower to grow and blossom all its inner beauty and fragrance.
Like apples of gold in settings of silver, Is a word spoken at the proper time. Prov 25:11
Let your conversation be always full of grace… Col 4:6
