The Unfailing Love of the Knight

Today as I was praying, I asked God to show me what He wanted ministry to look like. My scattered thoughts began to form questions like; What did He want me to start? Who did He want me to talk to? Where did He want me to go? Gently and patiently He began to silence my demanding questions by a simple beautiful illustration.
First, I saw a belt that had the word "Truth" engraved on the buckle of it. I then proceeded to look up and see a helmet, sword, and complete suit of armor. There was even a cape attached that changed from hues of red to white. At first, I wasn't sure if this was me suited up for battle or Jesus, but it soon became very clear as I saw the Knight with the white cape on a journey to rescue a princess in a tower. The Knight slayed the dragons that were blocking the way to the princess with such ease and effortlessness, that there really was no competition. As He began to approach the castle that the princess was locked in, all around stood miniature people. They weren't miniature to the princess, but only to the Knight himself. The princess herself, was also very tiny compared to Knight. The people at the foot of the castle were taunting and jeering at her, and she was afraid to move, paralyzed by the fear of them. The Knight then came and rescued the princess from her castle she was frozen in. He walked with ease up to the castle entrance. Even when the people tried to stop Him their attempts were seen as a joke. Their little stones and torches did nothing to His solid armor and He barely even noticed them as He went to save His princess. He gently picked her up and put her on His shoulder. She then radically transformed and her dress turned into the same armor that was worn by the Knight, her armor was even complete with a cape only her's was pink. He then said to the tiny princess, "Just allow me to carry you though, just hold on to me. I will defeat your enemies for you, and I will show you and take you where you need to go. Just rest in me and my love."

After this I was praying to God was this from you or just in my head? And He told me to turn to John 5:32, which at the time I had no idea what it said. I turned to it and it said "But someone else is testifying about me and I assure everything He says about me is true." I then believed He meant the Holy Spirit was the one testifying about Him and this indeed was from God and not something I had just made up in my head. He then lead me to these verses. Romans 8:6 "But letting the Spirit control your mind leads to peace." And Romans 8:9 "You are controlled by the Spirit if you have the Spirit of God living in you."

This is how God answered my questions about ministry and how loving Him is supposed to look like. I believe it can apply to all of us, cause we are all God's children locked away in a tower like the princess. We all have been held captive by something, and we all are desperate for a Knight with a white cape to save us. He alone will carry you through the trials. He doesn't want you to do anything on your own but just allow Him to have you. Allow Him to fully love you. Allow Him to take you where He wants to go. While being in the Father's arms you are able to accomplish anything through Him because He's the one fighting the battle, and He always wins! Just allow Him to love you today, where ever you are, whatever you are going through. He wants you. This is what true ministry looks like, this is where Jesus's heart resides. Loving the Father and allowing yourself to be taken by Him to where He wants to go. This removes all pressure from you, because it's not about you. It's only by His power is anything accomplished. All He wants from us is love, and with love comes an abundance of trust.
