Deuteronomy 34:10-11 There has never been another prophet like Moses, whom the Lord knew face to face. The Lord sent him to perform all the miraculous signs and wonders in the land of Egypt against Pharaoh, and all his servants, and his entire land.
But Moses was not perfect. He did not want to be my spokesperson in Egypt. He tried to get out of it, and in the end, a compromise was reached and Aaron would speak for Moses. This was not ideal, but I did not give up on Moses because of this disobedience and lack of faith and trust. Moses did not always follow My instructions perfectly – yet he did do My will. He was not always able to control his emotions – especially his anger – and this got in the way, but only a bit. I did not allow any of his human tendencies and weaknesses to stop My plans and My saving of My people. Moses was a man who loved Me and a man whom I loved. I walked with him. He saw My face directly and did not die. I talked to him face to face. Yet, he was not perfect. He was not able to walk perfectly in obedience. That did not change My love for him nor My decision to have him lead My people. It did, however, come with a price. He did not receive the complete blessing I had promised him – he was not allowed to cross over into the promised land with the rest of My people. But, again, I did not love him less. When he died, I myself buried him. I laid him to rest in a place only I know, so that he would never be disturbed. I lovingly disposed of his earthly body and he came to be with Me in eternity. Do not miss, also, that before I took him home, I showed him every bit of the land I had promised. Though he was not allowed to enter into the land physically, he was able to experience it and enjoy it when I showed it to him. Why do I point this out? So that you do not fret, Child. I know you are not perfect, I know you struggle to obey completely, I know you have a hard time with your emotions at times – especially when you are being attacked and treated wrongly – but that does not change a bit how much I love you. I see your heart. I hear your cries. I know you love Me. I know you long to obey Me completely. I have not turned My eyes from you nor have I stopped listening to you. Just keep going forward. Do not allow your enemy to convince you that if you do not perfectly obey Me, if you do not keep in lockstep with Me, if you do not control your emotions and if you do not completely avoid all sin that I can not or will not continue to love and protect and walk with you. Nothing could be farther from the truth. I love you. Just as you are. Do not forget that I created you and I saw all of this before you were even in your mother’s womb. None of this surprises Me. None of this turns My heart away from you.
