Draw close to Me this day as I tell you about My love. Yes, you have heard it many times, but does that mean I no longer want to say it?

Every moment you take a breath I want to reaffirm My love for you. 

You are My precious child. I created you to look just the way you do. I love every imperfection on your body without hesitation. I formed you out of the dust of the earth. 

I watched as you drew in your first breath of life-giving air. How I smiled!

I have watched you through the years, beside you through things you don’t even want to remember, and beside you in times of great happiness.

My love for you is the soul of My being, dear one. When you come to Me, the beautiful sunrise of your unfolding faith is My joy, getting brighter and brighter each moment you stay in communion with Me.

Oh, beloved one, never doubt My love! It is fierce, it is powerful, and yet, it is oh, so tender.

Arise, and go through the day with Me at your side and when you pull your covers up around you at night, I will watch over you tenderly as you sleep.  

I will never leave you, My love, never.

I John 2:24-25, New King James Version:

“Therefore let that abide in you which you heard from the beginning. If what you heard from the beginning abides in you, you also will abide in the Son and in the Father. And this is the promise that He has promised us—eternal life.”

Oh, the joy of My salvation! How happy you will be in the place I have prepared for you!

Your imagination cannot fathom it. It’s not just the sights you will see, but the intensity of the colors, the smells, the feelings of love, joy and completeness.

Yes, you will be complete. One day it will be over and you will know that your life is not just a lucky “add-on”. You were always a part of My plan.

The daily activities in Heaven will keep you busy, yet we will all be working towards the same goal, creating a perfect environment for all.

No anger, strife or jealousy. Just complete joy, and surrounded with such beauty!! The sunsets you love so much here do not compare to the panoply of colors in the sky I will put on for you.

No more crying. No more pain. Joy and fellowship with those you love most and those who walked the earth thousands of years before you. They will be your friends and advisors.

And I, My child, will take you into My arms with such love and tenderness. You will be complete.

Psalms 7:10, New King James Version:

“My defense is of God, Who saves the upright in heart.”

Dwell deeper with Me today. Empty your soul at My feet. Empty your entire being. 

Don’t leave behind anger, frustration, or pain. Come before Me wholly and completely.

Let Me dwell deeply inside you. When you do, I can draw out old pains you have hidden inside you, one by one, freeing you up for more complete peace and joy.

When you arise, I will place My arms of protection around you, put the breastplate of peace on you, and finish with the helmet of salvation.

Totally armed with Me and My protection, you are ready to face this day!

“Deep calls unto deep,” My precious one.  

For true health, peace, happiness and to totally accept the fullness of My love, I call you deeply and completely.

Psalms 42:7 The Passion Translation:

“My deep need calls out to the deep kindness of Your love. Your waterfall of weeping sent waves of sorrow over my soul, carrying me away, cascading over me like a thundering cataract.”

How many times I have longed to gather you up into My arms to hold and comfort you! I see your distress, I hear your cries.

I am with you now, so close I can feel your breath. Lay your head upon My shoulder and let your grief go, washing over and through you to a place where I hold all pain and sorrow.

It is held in the blood of Jesus. All the earth’s sorrow and pain, is contained in His shed blood. 

Come and cleanse yourself. Let His blood flow freely over you, removing your confusion and grief.

I am with you now. I have never left your side. You are My beloved child.

Never let go, dear one, of My promises to you.  

Face the day with courage. You have been washed clean by the blood of the cross.

Colossians 1:19-20, The Passion Translation:

“For God is satisfied to have all His fullness dwelling in Christ. And by the blood of His cross, everything in heaven and earth is brought back to Himself—back to its original intent, restored to innocence again!”

Dear child, you are precious to Me today, and every day. I formed you out of the earth. I knew of your existence before the foundation of the world, and I have a plan for you.

I didn’t say it would be easy, otherwise, you would not appreciate it.

Today is a day of thanksgiving. Bless those around you. I am there with you, never forget.  Never forget.

When you get tired and weary, think of Me. Come apart and bow your knee. I will fill you with great peace because of our communion together. My greatest joy is our communion together.

Now go in peace. I am walking beside you and I love you. You are precious to Me. I will not let you go.

Picture yourself as a small child walking along the beach holding the hand of a very large man, your father. That is how I am with you.  

Just look up. I will smile down at you and keep you safe always. It’s all about trust. 

I have in My hands the key to all your problems. I hear you and I know you. I will answer them all. 

Just trust in Me, only in Me. Throw your cares on the ground, at My feet. You will never regret it.  

And go, smile, and have a happy day, full of thanksgiving for all I have blessed you with!

Psalms 100:4-5, New King James Version:

“Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, And into His courts with praise. Be thankful to Him, and bless His name. For the Lord is good; His mercy is everlasting, and His truth endures to all generations.”

Is there any love in this world, you ask? Does love come down to a feeling? Is it a choice?

Many times it needs to be a choice, one that, when surrendered to Me, I can make real.

But love was there from the beginning, from before the created world that is within your understanding.

Love was in Heaven. It ruled the universe, but there was an unhappy being named Lucifer, now Satan, the devil, who allowed his jealousy to overshadow the love he was surrounded with. And he plotted against Me, raising up an army of angel followers. In time, I cast them down from heaven and created the earth where the pain and suffering that sin causes is played out.

Jealousy and resentment caused all the pain in this world. It still does.  

Do not let it enter even one corner of your life. It is a deadly virus that unchecked, can take over your entire being.

Bring all these feelings to Me. Cast them at My feet and I will carry them for you.

There is no room for jealousy, envy and unforgiveness in My kingdom. You can see how much suffering has resulted.

Give it to Me, dear child. I will carry it for you.

1 John 3:7-8 The Passion Translation:

“Delightfully loved children, don’t let anyone divert you from this truth. The person who keeps doing what is right proves that he is righteous before God, even as the Messiah is righteous. But the one who indulges in a sinful life is of the devil, because the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God was revealed was to undo and destroy the works of the devil.”

How often have you wondered what I am like? You know man was made in My image, yet there is more that is left unimaginable.

All I need for you to know is that My very presence is basked in the outpouring of love for mankind, love so extreme the earth could not contain it if I were to appear at this time.  Jesus had to come down as a child: human and God. His humanity allowed His earthly presence.

When you try to envision Me, think of the most wonderful thing you can, and imagine your greatest needs melting away as you lay your head against My chest, and feeling love so powerful your breath goes away as I wrap My arms around you.

There is no safer place. I AM all your needs

I have taken away all your fears. In Me and in Me alone you will find rest and peace for now, and for ever more.

Come into My everlasting arms. Oh, such love.  

That is all you need to know, dear one. For now, it is all you need to know.

Revelation 21:6-7 The Passion Translation:

“Then He said to me, “It has been accomplished! For I am the Aleph and the Tav, the beginning and the end. I will give water to all who are thirsty. As My gracious gift, they will continuously drink from the fountain of living water. The conquering ones will inherit these gifts from Me. I will continue to be their God and they will continue being children for Me.”

The stirring in your soul for fellowship with Me was planted there long ago. Like a young branch shoots out from the tree, you tenderly seek Me. Tentatively at first, then ever more steadfastly.

Each day you grow in Me. One day you will have grown to be the strongest branch on the tree with young shoots springing out all over it. These new branches are the fruit of your association with Me.

As Jesus was one with Me, so I will be in you.  

You will know, dear one, really sense and know, My presence and guiding in your life.  When you give yourself to Me in total abandon, a new change will occur. You will not feel lost or hopeless. You will have no fear of the future. You are in the palm of My hand, and I will take care of you.

One day we will look back and see the mighty tree you have become because of it. So many others will have been helped along the way, and their young shoots will grow into mighty branches with new outpourings on them.

The first step in this mighty plan I have for you is to simply come before Me daily, seeking My presence. The rest is in My hands.

Psalms 89:17-18 The Passion Translation:

“The glory of Your splendor is our strength, and Your marvelous favor makes us even stronger, lifting us even higher! You are our King, the holiest one of all; Your wraparound presence is our protection.”

From the rising of the sun until it’s setting, My love is ever with you. I am with you through the hardest, most painful things in earthly life.

When the situation gets so bad that you think you cannot go through it, that you cannot go even one step further, cry out to Me. I will comfort you. I will give you the courage to continue. I will bear your pain with you. I will see you through to the other side.  

I AM WITH YOU, beloved one. I always have been and I always will be.

You can go through this with Me at your side. I never promised that life on earth would be easy.  Satan makes sure that those I love are particularly targeted.  

My promise to you is that I will never leave you. I will never forsake you. You are Mine and I am yours.

With Me at your side you can walk through anything. 

Just hold My hand.  I will never let you go.

1 Peter 4:12-13, New King James Version

“Beloved, do not think it strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened to you; but rejoice to the extent that you partake of Christ’s sufferings, that when His glory is revealed, you may also be glad with exceeding joy.”

Close your eyes, My loved one, and breathe in deeply. Breathe in the very reality of My presence.  Fill your lungs to their fullest capacity. Slowly let the air out.

Imagine yourself in the chasm of My love, so full, so tender, so all-consuming. The assurance of such love should bring the joy up in your soul and overflow to every crevice of your body, making it hard not to smile from deep within.  

Such confidence you will have when you surround yourself with this knowledge! Carry it with you throughout the day.  

My joy is made complete in you, My beloved child, as yours is in Me.  

Psalms 26:3, The Passion Translation:

“I will never lose sight of Your steadfast love for me. Your faithfulness has steadied my steps.”
