Do not be afraid of the future. Do not be afraid of today or tomorrow, for I am with you, waiting for you to take My hand, giving Me free rein to guide you through your problems.

Remember yesterday. If you stayed close to Me, we had a victorious day. If you chose to go through the day alone, you experienced loneliness and fear.

No matter what happened yesterday, if you choose to walk with Me today, I will turn disasters into benefits, mistakes into second chances.

You can’t lose, dear one, if you choose Me. The world may live to it’s own dying heartbeat, but where you and I dwell is love and light and joy and hope, all made possible by the death and resurrection of Jesus.

It’s not much of a choice, is it? But I have to let you make it.  

I am here.

Romans 8:27-28, New King James Version:

“Now He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God. And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.”

I am here, dear one, and I know your needs so well. I have been hurting along with you.  This is all so hard for you to understand, but it is all in My plan which will unfold soon.  Every step you have taken has been very important in your growth. It is carefully mapped out by Me.  

Just trust Me.

I know you don’t like it, but I am molding your character. You are growing in Me and we are growing so much closer than if you were happily going through life with no problems.  

Yes, I have a plan, and it is for us. I will take care of you. You will see.

Just trust Me.

What is in your future? It is better that I not tell you that, but what is important for you to know is that you and I will be growing closer together. Your life will be changed, and others will be affected by our teaming together.

Don’t be depressed, dear one. There is joy ahead in Me.

1 Peter 1:6-7, New King James Version:

 “In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, you have been grieved by various trials, that the genuineness of your faith, being much more precious than gold that perishes, though it is tested by fire, may be found to praise, honor, and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ,”

Come to Me, My child, and let Me ease your fears. No matter how many times I have reassured you and shown you miracles of My love and care for you, you are still afraid to really let go, to really believe.

Fall back into My arms and let Me guide you as you float through time and space.  

I will never let go, dear one. I will always be there to guide and hold you.

Your troubles that seem so huge, are just momentary things. Keep your eyes on Me, the Author of your salvation, the one true love of your very being.  

I will never ever let you go. I love you too much.

Hebrews 10:22, New Kings James Version:

“let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water.”

Entwine your soul with Mine. Come and let Me take you places you have never dared to go before.

Rise up and take My hand, and together we will fly through space and time. I want you to truly see where Jesus walked, where He lived and died for you.

Envision His life and His death. Come to accept the love We have for you. It should permeate your everyday life, helping you to face your earthly challenges head on knowing you are the beloved child for whom so much was sacrificed.  

Close your eyes and imagine His anguished eyes looking at you with love and determination as the nails were driven into His feet and hands. This should let you know how much you are loved.

Live your life today as if every moment were the last. Stay connected to Me as your lifeline. 

We have already overcome the world. You have nothing to fear, and only joy to look forward to.

Galatians 2:20 The Passion Translation:

“My old identity has been co-crucified with Christ and no longer lives. And now the essence of this new life is no longer mine, for the Anointed One lives His life through me—we live in union as one! My new life is empowered by the faith of the Son of God who loves me so much that He gave himself for me, dispensing His life into mine!”

I am near you, dear child.

I will rain the Holy Spirit upon you so that your heart and mind will be opened to receive Me. It is My desire that you have asked for this closeness.  

Just rest in the knowledge that I am here.

You may sing praises to Me and learn of Me, and I will bless you, dear one.

How I long for our hearts to be intertwined in each other’s! Soon, My dear one, soon. 

Until that time, I will be ever near you and I will take care of you. You never need to fear.

Let My Spirit come upon you now. Close your eyes and imagine My presence, for I am there with you now, no matter what.  

It is My joy to have you seek Me.

Psalms 52:8-9, New King James Version:

“But I am like a green olive tree in the house of God; I trust in the mercy of God forever and ever. I will praise You forever, because You have done it; and in the presence of Your saints I will wait on Your name, for it is good.”

By faith your forefathers walked with Me. By faith, you are walking with Me now.  

Enoch sought Me every morning when he woke up. His hearing was so fine-tuned that he could listen to My urgings and I took him up to Heaven to be with Me.

I long for us to have that closeness, for you to desire to walk with Me as fervently as Enoch did. The joy you would experience is beyond that which you could ever envision. 

The world is not a real place. It is a testing ground between evil and good. The real life is the one we will share after you have left this place and I have come to take you to Me.  Only then will you experience My true love, joy, peace and praise, things which now you can only take by faith. But it is real and it awaits you. 

Come and sense a portion of it now. Walk with Me like Enoch did. Take My hand and but ask, for I am there.

Hebrews 11:5, New King James Version:

 “By faith Enoch was taken away so that he did not see death, “and was not found, because God had taken him”; for before he was taken he had this testimony, that he pleased God.”

Dear one of Mine, take My hand this morning and let Me take you for a walk through time, a walk with Me into the past where the Bible comes alive again.

There is no greater history than that which I commanded into being. Every flower, every tree, every animal, I put into being. Each was designed not only for need, but for beauty.  

Those who do not know Me can look at My creations and know of My existence. There is no possibility that even one of those marvelous creatures or creations could have just “happened”.

When you get discouraged by things in your life, take time to walk with Me and study nature around you. I had a plan. I made it, and you are a very important part of that plan.

Take each day one step at a time, putting one foot in front of the other. I will never leave you. The proof is all around you.

Romans 1:20, New King James Version:

“For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse,”

Child of Mine, you are here with Me. You have stopped the clock in your busy schedule to spend some time with Me.

I will draw close to you, as close as you will allow Me to. Together we can do great things for My Kingdom. You may think them small things, but seeds have been planted that I will continue watering over the years. 

In Heaven you will see the whole story.

What a day of rejoicing that will be! You will sit at My feet and be able to visualize the stories of what was really happening in this world.

If only you could see now. The evil is real, dear one, but you have overcome it. Every time you call out My Name, we have the victory. Always. I reign supreme and no thing can ever stand up to Me.

So, come to Me in the morning and spend these precious moments with Me. Do not lose your focus. There is a battle to be won, but you have just overcome!

Smile with Me, My child, for you are loved.

Psalms 20:6-8, New King James Version:

“Now I know that the Lord saves His anointed; He will answer him from His holy heaven with the saving strength of His right hand. Some trust in chariots, and some in horses; but we will remember the name of the Lord our God. They have bowed down and fallen; but we have risen and stand upright.”

My lightness waits for you this morning. Don My presence and let it shine for others to see.

Throughout the day, seek out time with Me. You will never regret these moments.  

I am so glad you are here with Me now. Close your eyes and envision Me beside you.

”Taste and see that the Lord is good,” David said. He walked with Me in a very real way.  He was able to sense My presence and knew wherever he was, he was near to Me, and I to him.

David did not live a perfect life. Many times he turned his back on Me, hurting Me and others, but he always came back and we walked together. He is with Me now.

Beloved, be like David. In the morning, seek My face, and sing My praise.  

I will be your stronghold. I always have been. I want you to be more aware of it and of Me.

Let Me be your strength and focus today, My beloved one.

Psalms 34:7-8, New King James Version:

“The angel of the Lord encamps all around those who fear Him, and delivers them. Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the man who trusts in Him!”

When the turbulence is great, when your troubles seem so heavy, call out My name. A shaft of light will pierce your being and I will dwell in you.

Surround yourself with thoughts of Me, of peace and joy.

Where there is peace, I AM. Where there is pain, I AM. Through your darkest moments and through times of happy surprises, I AM there.

Dear one, My desire is to have you be conscious of Me wherever you are. I am always conscious of you. I will not let one moment of your life go by without My knowing. 

I am truly the Good Shepherd in that I am always guiding you. Only when you turn your back on Me do I allow you to walk alone. When you do, I watch you with great sadness as you leave Me to go out and live a life of worldly pleasures. How I long for you to return! 

When even the smallest thought of Me is expressed, I fold you into My loving arms again.  All of the mistakes you made on your own, I work with to help you, and to help others. This is just a small sample of My love for you. 

Do not turn away, dear one. For we can accomplish so much more if you will let Me guide you always. I have so many wonders in store for you!!

Romans 8:28, New King James Version:

“And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.”
