Come to Me and learn of Me. Treasure our time together as I treasure it.      

My Word is full of wonderful stories of My love, and promises for you to hang onto in your darkest moments. Open it anew every day and let Me enthrall you with the stories from the past.  

As near as I was to the Israelites in the Old Testament, I am with you now. As close as Jesus was to the disciples in the New Testament, He is with you now.

You have the assurance of the Rulers of the universe, yet you are scared inside. Where does that come from? It comes from not spending time in My Word. It is of vital importance in your Christian life.     

Armed with verses from scripture, you can slay the dragons that rise up, you can reach out and help a lonely, sick person, and you can give hope to the hopeless.

Most of all, you can rest in the assurance of My love for you and of the sacrifice I made to have this closeness with you.  

Don’t throw it away, dear one.  Come to Me now.

Psalms 119:105, New King James Version:

 “Your word is a lamp to my feet And a light to my path.”

Come to Me this morning, dear child. Let Me wrap My arms around you and comfort you.  The fears you are feeling will melt away when you allow Me to handle them.

Open your eyes today to see all the things I have put in your path. The one I have designed for you will lead to love and happiness. Whether that will be on this side, or on the other, is for Me to know.  

My secret urgings will let you know the way you should go. Trust in them when they come.  You will know when they are from Me. 

Each day you let Me lead you will also lead us into a closer relationship, one that will be a blessing to you and to others.

Jeremiah 33:3, New King James Version:

“‘Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know.’”

Do you know how much I love you? Much more than I could ever express. I AM LOVE, and it permeates through Me to you.

As you grow to trust in My love, your joy and peace will abound and affect others around you. You will truly be a beacon of My love shining to others in need.

Focus on Me now and throughout the day, stopping to spend precious moments in communion with Me, whether you are at work, at school, or at home. 

Anywhere you are, I AM.

David wrote about the closeness of our relationship. If you read through the Psalms, you will be encouraged.

Just as I loved and walked with David, I long to love and walk with you. But do you push Me away by focusing on the distractions or temptations of this evil world?

Come back to Me, dear one. Let Me walk with you and guide you. What could be more easy? 

Here I am. Take My hand.

Psalms 139:17-18, New King James Version:

 “How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God! How great is the sum of them! If I should count them, they would be more in number than the sand; When I awake, I am still with You.”

Put your hand in Mine and place all the worries you are feeling now in it. Let Me take them unto Myself so that your mind may be eased.

I am not only willing, but anxious, to have you cast your cares on Me. I long to help you as a parent longs to help their child.  

I see you tossing and turning. Don’t you know yet that I will help?

Letting Me handle your problems is an act of faith, but how you will be rewarded!  

How do you do it? It is as simple as I said. Lay them down at My feet, then take time to stop and listen to the birds. They are singing My praises because they have learned that I will always take care of them.

Reach your hand out. I am there, My love. I am there.

1 Peter 5:6-7, New King James Version:

“Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time, casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.”

I am near to you now.  So close…..so real.

Close your eyes and sense My presence

All your life you have longed for a love that is pure and true. You are starting to sense it as you draw closer to Me through our time together.

Thank you for seeking Me, dear one. For seeking not only to know me, but to draw into My presence. Our communion together is very precious to Me. You will never regret the time you spend with Me.

Use it throughout the day. Call out My name when you think you can’t get through something. When challenges seem overwhelming, tap back into your memory of our time together.

Such peace I will give you, enabling you to soar like an eagle over the highest mountains!  You have an attachment to the Almighty that enables you to look down in your flight on all the cares of this world.

I make that possible, beloved one. Only through Me will you find peace through life’s hardships.

Hold on now as we soar through the skies!

Isaiah 40:31, New King James Version:

“But those who wait on the Lord Shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles. They shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint.”

Rise up, My love, and take this day by the hand. It will be a day in which you grow one  step closer to Me. That is all you need.

Whatever loneliness or pain you feel will ease when you spend time with Me. I am the answer to ALL life’s situations. Only enfolded in My loving arms can you find true happiness and release.

Try it now. Close your eyes and envision Me, and know, really know, that I am beside you, loving you and watching over your every step you take, like a father earnestly  watching his toddler. I am so pleased when you take the right steps, so sad when you wander away from Me.

Because of Jesus’ death on the cross, when you return to Me, I am able to forget the pain and sadness I felt, and enfold you into My arms again.  

The price for sin has been paid and it is a special day when we start over together!

Psalms 109:30-31, New King James Version:

“I will greatly praise the Lord with my mouth; Yes, I will praise Him among the multitude. For He shall stand at the right hand of the poor, to save him from those who condemn him.”

I am with you now. I was with you yesterday. 

Were you practicing the knowledge of My presence?  I would have filled your soul with joy.   

Spend time with friends who don’t know Me. They need to know of your faith, and the peace I give you; the faith and peace I give you to get through all situations.  

Let the light of My love fill your words and thoughts. Through this you will receive peace, and you will share that peace with others.

Don’t ever be sad, beloved. Count it PURE JOY to endure pain for Me. Because of sin on this earth, things will never be perfect, but be of good cheer, for I have overcome the world!

I am not making light of your pain. I know it is there. I am saying, “work with it.” Use it to better your knowledge of Me, and to share Me. 

I am surrounding you right now. My arms wait to hold you securely in My bosom. What joy we will all feel when we are truly together!

Wait on Me. Rest in Me. Cast your cares on Me, for I am with you here, now and for always.

Psalms 55:22, New King James Version:

“Cast your burden on the Lord, And He shall sustain you; He shall never permit the righteous to be moved.”

My precious child, I am here….around you, beside you, in you. You never need to be afraid. 

Cast all your cares on Me, because I love you and I will always take care of you.                                             

My peace I give you, My peace I leave with you. In the world you will find no peace, but have joy, for I have overcome the world.

What does that mean to you? It means that every step you take, I am there. I have everything planned for you.  

You will not fall. I will catch you.

You wish I would tell you what will happen in your future, but that is not My way. My way is to have you learn to place your trust in Me. If I told you what was going to unfold, you would not grow and learn. 

Just trust, dear one. I have said it before over and over. It is the greatest lesson.  

Just trust. In My time you will understand. 

Go into this day thinking of Me often, calling out to Me. I am with you. 

DO NOT BE AFRAID.

John 14:27, New King James Version:

“Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.”

Bless others and I will bless you. Watch and see how I will work.  

Take one step at a time. I AM WITH YOU. Learn to sense My presence. Think of Me as often as you can. 

Call out to Me. I can hear you. It is My greatest joy to commune with you.

Go out and face the day with strength. Open your heart and mind to My truth. My Word is truth.  

Let the words of the Bible encourage and guide you. It is My direct message to all who will listen.

Rise up in strength, dear one. Your prayers have been answered. I am with you now and always.  

Rest in Me. Trust in Me. You are My most precious child.

Smile, beloved. My peace remains. Go in My love and peace…and smile.

Zephaniah 3:17 New King James Version:

“The Lord your God in your midst. The Mighty One, will save; He will rejoice over you with gladness, He will quiet you with His love, He will rejoice over you with singing.”

Child, I know your pain. I am with you, now and always, at every step of the way.

Whenever you put your foot down, I am walking with you.  

Believe in My words, beloved. I WILL GET YOU THROUGH THIS. I promise.

You must believe in My promises. I have great things in store for you. Take each day just as it comes. I will raise you up time after time. Only I know how and when.  

Keep these words in your heart.

Put your hand in mine and together we will walk through this. Open up your heart and mind. Let me guide and direct you.

Psalms 145:13,New King James Version:

 “Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and Your dominion endures throughout all generations.”
