Let Him take of it.

I showed this to someone who i really care about. Some versus I have been praying over and some words that come from them.

"Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart;I appointed you as a prophet to the nations." Jeremiah 1:5

"Who has ever heard of such a thing? Who has ever seen such things? Can a country be born in a day or a nation be brought forth in a moment? Yet no sooner is Zion in labor than she gives birth to her children. Do I bring to the moment of birth and not give delivery?" says the LORD. "Do I close up the womb when I bring to delivery?" says your God. Isiah 66:8-9

"children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband's will, but born of God." John 1:13

"Later I passed by, and when I looked at you and saw that you were old enough for love, I spread the corner of my garment over you and covered your nakedness. I gave you my solemn oath and entered into a covenant with you, declares the Sovereign LORD, and you became mine." Ezekiel 16:8



All of these verses talk about being birthed in the spirit of God first, before anything physical was visible. God is love. Love is born in the spirit. Love must be nurtured and grown.
Love wants to do things for us.
Love notices our needs before they come to pass. Love which is God only wants to be loved back. God who is Love takes care of us when we were nothing or helpless. God wants to form a nation made of us.
A Love born in the spirit of God is to be respected and nurtured so it will grow. There may not be visible crops right now, or a house, or even the ability to touch in full bloom yet, because it may not be the right time, but it still must be loved, must be protected, and given prayer to grow. It does require thought because it will always be there and always has been. God says he may not form a nation (us, our family, our union) all at once, but he says before you were even born, I (God) birthed you in the spirit, and what I birth in the spirit, I will bring forth from the womb, says the Lord.
So all the little hurdles and temptations, and uncertainty, and lack of knowing where to turn or go, or the obstacles along the way should not stop us from keeping our focus on God, and on what He has birthed in the spirit in us and how he has given us new life, and if we do Love Him and what He has birthed in us, then he will cover us in cloth, make our crops grow, and grow us into a nation.
