Child, you are in My care. 

Your heart is seeking Me, and I am so glad. Our time together in the morning is very precious to Me.

Wear Me throughout the day. Don My protective armor and shield to face whatever comes your way.  

I am in you and around you. Together we can do anything!

Every step you take with Me I have planned for you. The steps you take away from Me I make good out of when you come back, but how sad that makes Me to see you reject not only Me, but the sacrifice we made for you on the cross. 

Nothing will compare, dear one.

The price has been paid, but new wounds are made when you reject that gift. Every time you reject the Holy Spirit’s urgings, you take one step away.

Learn to listen and obey. I am the still small voice. The more you listen and obey, the more I will lead you.

Continue lifting your heart towards Me this day. There will be so much joy!!

Romans 13:12 New King James Version

“The night is far spent, the day is at hand. Therefore let us cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light.”

You are still so overwhelmed with your problems. 

Don’t you know by laying them at My feet that I will take care of them? You need only to trust Me. You will receive peace and joy and be able to thank Me because we have grown closer. And I have been glorified, just in the release of all the problems you carry with you.

I understand how hard it is for you to lay them at My feet. If only you would understand how rewarding it will be! Why do you want to shoulder it all when the Ruler of all wants to take care of them and of you?

Put your hand in Mine, dear one. Close your eyes and breathe My love in deeply. Trust Me.

It takes trust to know I am with you, but time together will increase your faith. You will come to know, really know, I am beside you, longing for closeness with you.

I am here, dear one. Just let go and trust Me.

Psalms 9:10, New King James Version:

“And those who know Your name will put their trust in You; For You, Lord, have not forsaken those who seek You.”

Stop counting up all your problems in your head. No good will come from that.

On the other side of your problems you can praise Me, for I have handled them for you. You will see the miracles in them.

The harder the problem, the greater the victory, the more I can be glorified.  

Our story will help others to find Me. Isn’t that what this life is about? 

I want others to see Me in you, dear one. Stay close and listen, for I am always ready to make our story come alive.

Walking with Me daily is the greatest joy of this earth. You will find peace, dear one, no matter how insurmountable your problems seem.

Bring them to Me. A new story is waiting to unfold.

Psalms 34:17, New King James Version:

“The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears, And delivers them out of all their troubles.”

To see Me fully, you must give yourself fully, fully and completely.  

I do not ask too much, dear one. The rewards you will receive will be beyond your greatest imagination.

In this world, you have a conception of what and Who you think I am. Your study of works by men and woman who have known and loved Me will not fully explain what I can be to you. 

The love I have for you is also not something that can be fully explained on paper, or something you think you understand because you have felt love for someone else. My love for you alone is larger than life, more than you can conceive.

Receive it today, beloved. Let Me enfold you into My arms to love you, hold you and take care of you fully.  Through this surrender on your part, you will begin to learn about Me personally. Through time and constant surrender, you will see what I can do in your life.  

Someday we might write a book about it, so others may be inspired, but words become weak in light of My love.

You will come to know Who I AM by your relationship with Me. You and Me. Me and you.

Accept it today, beloved. The lover of your soul awaits.

1 Corinthians 13:12, New King James Version:

“For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known.”

Precious child of Mine, let Me draw you into My presence now. Close your eyes and think of Me. I am truly with you now.

Don’t worry about the problems you face today. I have already handled them. You need only to put one foot in front of the other and hold My hand. 

Together we can do anything!!

Have you anything in your life that requires washing, cleansing from your soul? 

Search your heart, My child. Make it clean. Come to Me unburdened by the sin of this world so that I may bestow blessings upon you.

You are Mine, dear one. I have chosen you. Come and find peace in Me.

Psalms 139:23-24, New King James Version:

“Search me, O God, and know my heart; Try me, and know my anxieties; And see if there is any wicked way in me, And lead me in the way everlasting.”

Thank you, child, for the profession of your love for Me. I love to hear you say it. 

Only I am Love, but I know your love and it is beautiful for Me to hear you profess it.

Don’t be afraid, dear one, for I am with you. The problems you are swimming in are not insurmountable. I know they are there and I am taking care of them in My time. Your job is to trust Me, and to never doubt Me.

Look up to Me with your soul. Seek My presence with your whole heart and you will find Me. I will never let you down.

Don’t be weary. Come to Me and I will give you rest.  

You are Mine, beloved. The personal and adored creation of My hands. Have joy in this knowledge!

Jeremiah 29:13, New King James Version:

“And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart.”

I love you fully, dear child, fully and completely. Learning to let go and let Me show you My love is one of the most wonderful gifts I can give you.

Practice it now. Close your eyes and think of Me. Consciously put all the activities of your day in My hands. Release it entirely to Me. Trust that I am with you and that I will guide you through everything.

The peace that you feel when you free yourself of your problems and allow Me to take them over is My gift to you. 

We have grown one step closer on our journey together. How precious that is to Me! How precious you are to Me!

Hold My hand tightly, beloved, for I am at the helm of your life. Don’t ever let go. 

Smooth sailing? No, but come and experience the connection. You will never go back.

I love you, dear one.

Philippians 4:6-7, New King James Version :

“Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.”

Come deep with Me, My love. Walk with Me through gardens of time. 

Sense Me. Feel Me.  I am all around you.

Learn to draw Me into yourself so that there I may abide with you through all of life’s challenges. The joy you will find is incomparable.

Come walk with Me, beloved. Deeply, earnestly seek My presence. You will find me.  

A storehouse of love and joy awaits.

Psalms 42:7, New King James Version :

“Deep calls unto deep at the noise of Your waterfalls; All Your waves and billows have gone over me.”

Lift your eyes up to Me this morning, for there you will find the peace you so fervently seek. You will not find it in worldly pleasures.

Look up. Seek My presence in your life. 

I know everything that is going on. I know each of your issues. The answers haven’t come yet, and you wonder if I even know or care.

Oh, I do, dear one. I know things you don’t and because of that, I am asking you to trust Me.

When all the world seems bleak, when you don’t think you can go on any further, you can. For I am with you, and all will work out in My time.

I am your Shepherd, guiding you constantly if you let Me. Just look up and trust Me.

Psalms 9:10, New King James Version:

“And those who know Your name will put their trust in You; For You, Lord, have not forsaken those who seek You.”

Out of the recesses of your mind come thoughts that make you wonder where they came from…surprisingly ill thoughts towards others.  

A momentary guilt washes over you as you correct them.

Where did they come from, you ask? They come from the evil one himself. The one cast out of heaven so long ago. He parades this earth hoping to take captive those who do not ally themselves with Me.

Those he captures are not just the weak ones. They are strong leaders of nations, of large corporations, all the way down to the lonely person on the street.

Your connection with Me enables you to push those evil thoughts (and Satan himself!) right out of your mind. As time goes on, he will try harder and harder to collect those nearest to Me. 

Stay close, dear one, for with Me you will have protection and love.  

Remember I have already defeated him, and he is just desperate to have as many people as possible go with him through the gates of hell.

You have all the power you need to overcome whatever he puts in front of you. He is very real, dear one. Don’t ever let go of our connection. Keep your eyes on Me and you will find true joy!

1 John 4:4, New King James Version:

“You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.”
