I know you hurt, but my God is a healer. The Lord really will bless this if you wait on Him. He wants to bless you, but you have to submit to Him and what He is doing. He wants unity. He is preparing us for greatness and He wants you to be involved in the beauty of it all, but only if you will trust His moving when it may not be so beautiful. The Lord not only wants to see you walk in greatness, but for His whole body to walk in greatness. He wants to use anyone who is willing and who is in love with Him. When the Lord looks at me, He sees my heart, not my tennis shoes. He hears the cry of my songs, not the beat they make. When the Lord looks at the next generation here, He sees hungry hearts, thirsty souls, excitement, and strength. But at the same time, such a need for wisdom. We need you right now. We need your wisdom, but we don't want it if we can't see you living for what we are willing to die for. Because then we realize all you say to us is you. and we are after those who are after the One we are in love with. Please impart and not depart. I need you. I am Westmore too. But Westmore isn't ours. Its His. Why not entrust it to the perfect, unfailing One? I need you to embrace what the Lord is doing in me. I want your wisdom if I can see you are led. and right now I can't see it. I'm ready for the Lord to move here and I would love for you to journey with me, but even if you don't come along I am going to move with Him. I will get to walk in all He has and get to see lives changed and walk in power and be led and live in His joy and His peace and on and on. I will be a part of walking in the fullness of all He has for Westmore. because I am Westmore and if I see the Lord, Westmore sees the Lord. There is so much purpose for this place. God is about to move aggressively here and remove anything and anyone in the way of what He is doing. So together, lets run with Him. And be for Him, not against Him. And be for one another, not against one another. Our unity and our love will accelerate this. Come on. I need you right now.  Your pastor needs you right now. Westmore needs you right now. This city needs you right now. The uttermost parts of the earth need you to agree with God right now.

I just wish you cared.
