I am here with you now. Believe Me. Trust Me.

Reach out to touch Me every moment that you think of Me. I am here with you always. You will receive all you need today and every day. 

Practice My presence. You will find so much comfort in KNOWING, not just trying to imagine or trust Me, but KNOWING I am beside you, walking with you, helping you in the everyday decisions of life.

Please don’t let go of My hand. It is there for you always.

My love is something you will not understand until you get to Heaven. I AM LOVE. I don’t feel love, I AM LOVE, and My love for you is more extreme than you can even imagine.  

Run in the glory of it, full speed ahead, into the vast unknown of the world, full of joy in My promises, never fearful. My right hand will be ever before you and around you.  

Lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world!

Trust in My love and My promises.

Matthew 28:20, New King James Version:

“and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”

Psalms 139:18, New King James Version:

“When I awake, I am still with You.”

I will never leave you behind, My child. I have plans for you which I am revealing slowly. If I showed you the whole picture, you would not be willing to go the difficult learning route I need to send you on to get there.

It comes back to trust. Trust in Me as a total, fulfilling Being. Trust that I am everything and every One you need. You may think you want something different, but I know the best way for you.

My Son is the Way, the Truth and the Life. No one comes to Me except through Him. When you know Him you know the peace that passes all understanding. You know the love that knows no bounds and you feel the trust I have asked you to live your life with.

This walk of faith is easy, beloved one. Not easy in terms of this world, but easy because you already know the outcome. The overwhelming feeling of pain and hardship you are facing is just a drop of what Jesus went through for you.  

It was very personal to Him. He wanted you by His side.

So never fear that I will count you as a loss, or not important enough to move a mountain for!  

Reach out and take My hand. I will never leave you behind.

I Peter 2:21, New King James Version:

“For to this you were called, because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that you should follow His steps”

Let today carry with it the joy of your salvation. In moments of thought, of conversation, come back to our relationship and the price that was paid for it. Never forget that it did not come free. 

There is nothing more precious to Me.

Come and lay your head on My shoulder and let Me tell you stories of long ago; stories that will inspire you to live strong with courage and fortitude; stories found in the scriptures of David, of Moses, of Rahab, of Mary. The Bible is full of real-life stories of pure, raw adventure.

Your salvation is not dependent on knowing those stories. Your salvation is dependent on one thing: Jesus Christ and His death and resurrection. But reading these stories will inspire you to walk similar lives of valor, all made possible because they had a relationship with Me. 

I guided and encouraged them, just as I do you, every moment of every day.

Take joy in that knowledge and join Me in the great adventure of being one with Me.

Romans 15:4, New King James Version:

“For whatever things were written before were written for our learning, that we through the patience and comfort of the Scriptures might have hope.”

There are times when I sense you doubting My existence, even when I have poured so much love into you. When bad things happen in the world, or you don’t understand the personal pain you are going through, you wonder if I am really real.

I AM real, My love. There is nothing more real.

The drop of dew on your cheek, is it real?  The rumbling of thunder, is it real? These are things that are part of your world yet you can’t hold them in your hands. I am like that. 

I live and move in another sense, one in which you can be more aware of the more you spend time with Me. When you are in My presence I can reveal who I am. I can imbue you with My attributes.

There is a world of pain out there that I am deep in the midst of. Come to Me with your pain, beloved one. Let Me show you My existence. Let Me wrap My arms around you and hold you until the pain is gone, until you are strong enough to stand on your own again.

One day you will know why, My love. One day. Until that time, come into My presence by spending time with Me.  

I will come as close as you let Me. Now and forever.

Psalms 89:14-17, New King James Version:

“Righteousness and justice are the foundation of Your throne; mercy and truth go before Your face. Blessed are the people who know the joyful sound! They walk, O Lord, in the light of Your countenance. In Your name they rejoice all day long, and in Your righteousness they are exalted. For You are the glory of their strength, and in Your favor our horn is exalted.”

Where do you start? You start with Me. Everything starts with Me.  

From the beginning of creation and before I am, I was, and I will continue to be forever. And I never waiver. I was the same then as I am now.

I am love so intense you cannot behold My real presence.What I am presenting to you is but a shadow of Who I am.

I am the north, the south, the east, the west. There is nowhere you can go that I will not be found.  Your world is finite and it is hard to understand that concept, but one day you will see all, and understand all. When you see Me face to face you will feel love so intense your whole body will be transformed into light.

So where do you start? With Me, now and always. I am your forever.

Just take one step towards Me…just a baby step of faith. I will do the rest.

Psalms 42:7-8, New King James Version:

“Deep calls unto deep at the noise of Your waterfalls; all Your waves and billows have gone over me. The Lord will command His lovingkindness in the daytime, and in the night His song shall be with me — a prayer to the God of my life.”

You do not have to be a worldly wise man to be a strong soldier for Me, to lead in the fight of good against evil. You just need a simple relationship with Me.  

I need you to have faith like a child, trusting Me at every turn even though you don’t understand much of the time why you have to be going through what you are.  

Come to Me with faith.With trust.

There are those who lash out in anger towards Me when difficulties arise. If they could only know how much it hurts Me when that happens. Don’t they know I will be with them? That all things will work out together for good?

Or they might be angry at Me that their loved one died. I cried with them when they hurt, when they grieved. I cried because of their pain, yet they were angry at Me because I allowed it to happen.

It is My desire that all should live everlasting lives filled with joy and peace. And one day that will be the case, but for now, while the saga in this evil world plays out, learn to place your childlike faith in Me. 

With your eyes fixed on Me, just trust. Lay back in the water and float with your eyes closed,  knowing, feeling, sensing, that I am with you, in you, all around you. And you are with Me.

Faith like a child is the greatest wisdom in the world.

Matthew 19:14, New King James Version:

“But Jesus said, “Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of heaven.””

Follow Me up to the stars. Follow Me up to the moon.

Reach as far into your dreams as you can to envision a life lived fully with Me: a life of joy, without pain; a life of peace without war; a life of love without hate. 

Is it there? Is it possible?

Yes, My beloved, it is. One day we will walk hand in hand together in perfect peace and contentment. One day we will look upon the stars and count their numbers. One day mankind will face each other with love and compliance.

But for now, face your fears with faith in Me: faith in the knowledge that there will be a world of love and light, that there will be joy again.  

Toss your cares to the ground, laugh in the midst of your sorrow. There will be joy, true, forever JOY!  

Where does it come from? How can you really know? Reach into your heart, for I have put that knowledge there. I formed you from the dust of the earth. I made you to see Me when you see My created things: the birds, the mountains, the valleys, the oceans.  

You know, dear one. You really, really know.

Just reach into your heart and believe. I am there, now and always. Never farther away than a thought or a prayer. 

Hebrews 11:1-3, New King James Version:

“Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen, for by it the elders obtained a good testimony. By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible.”

You are hurting inside, dear one. Although you try to hide it, I sense it. Not many others know about how you feel, but the One Who loves you does.    

I know when you get frightened in the middle of the night, when you feel all alone in the middle of a crowd. I know when you face what seems to be unconquerable odds, either with your health, or your finances, or a personal relationship that is very important to you.

You carry so much of the burden in your being. Come and lay it at My altar. 

My altar is covered with complete perfect love, forgiveness, and strength. You have access to it at any time. What once seemed impossible is now possible with Me at your side.

I am asking you to open up your heart and your soul to receive My presence. This healing touch is vital to your overall health and happiness. 

Only by truly laying your pains and burdens down can you experience true peace.

Search your heart today.  

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

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

Oh, My beloved child, so much is in front of you now. You are feeling that you don’t have the strength or the power to continue. And you don’t understand why I have put you in this position, in this time of need, when all you want to do is serve Me.

Every day I reach out for you, to touch and hold you. Every day you get up and go about your day, stopping to talk to Me when you make the time.  

It is not about time. It is about eternity, and power and strength…..and about Me.

You think of this world’s problems as your own, but they are not. I share every one of them with you. I feel your pain and your disappointment, sometimes leveled at Me, and yet I am in just as much pain over it, as well.  

What you do when you run out the door in the morning without stopping and spending our precious time together, is leave the power and strength behind. How can you conquer these issues without Me? You try and you try again, yet it is still there, and sometimes you blame Me.  

Connect with Me, dear one. Connect with Me. Find joy such as you have never known. You will find that you will be more in tune with Me, learning to trust the outcome of a situation no matter what.  

There is peace and joy in Me. Only in Me.

I will always be waiting, no matter what. Don’t ever be afraid to come running back into My arms.  

I am waiting now.

Psalms 130:5-6, New King James Version:

“I wait for the Lord, my soul waits, And in His word I do hope. My soul waits for the Lord More than those who watch for the morning— Yes, more than those who watch for the morning.”

Are you excited about the new life you are facing? Do not be afraid. Walk into the unknown with Me at your side. You will be forever blessed.

Do you seek wisdom for this future? I have promised it, if only you ask.

Do you seek security for this future? The security I have promised is an everlasting one: heavenly security that I have promised to those who love Me. Earthly security would do you no good right now. I need you to lean on Me, to depend on Me for every breath of your life.

Seek Me. Seek wisdom and purity. I am found in the still, small voice in your soul. It is the stuff legends are made of, yet you have it available to you at the tip of your fingers.  

Take Me and all I offer to guide and protect you into this new life you are about to start.  

Let it be a new life about Me. You will never go wrong!

Proverbs 2:6-7, New King James Version:

“For the Lord gives wisdom; from His mouth come knowledge and understanding; He stores up sound wisdom for the upright; He is a shield to those who walk uprightly;”
