Listen to the cheerful calls of the birds this morning as they sing My praises. You can hear them chatter and trill through the early morning hours. Although they continue through the day, their sounds of praise are muffled by the sounds of the busy world.

Find time to come apart from that world and listen again. Rest your soul by clearing your mind of your problems and focus on Me. Train yourself to listen to the silence.  

Is the wind blowing through the trees? Are the leaves rustling? Can you hear the locusts?  Can you hear the birds?

Are you in a busy city where it is hard to hear? Close your eyes and remember when you were in a place that you were able to. Let the memory of the sounds come alive in your mind.  

Although I am beside you wherever you are, nature is in constant praise of Me, and you will sense My presence more when you surround yourself either in nature, or in the memory of it.

Finding this quiet place and time will arm your soul with peace, a very important shield in your world.

Finally, dear one, do not let the clamors of the world overwhelm you. You are the child of the King.  

Face this day with the knowledge of My love.

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,”

How precious you are to Me, dear one! I look at you with such pride and love.

How with pride, you ask? When you accepted Me and My love through Christ’s death on the cross, and asked forgiveness for your sins, I covered you with His blood. And when I look at you now, I see a pure child, a child whose purity is as white as snow.

So when you come to Me, come with the security of knowing you are no longer covered in sin, even though you may have sinned terribly the day before. When you ask forgiveness for that sin, I throw it away, down deep in the sea, and My lamb remains pure.

Because of Jesus’ sacrifice, there are no barriers between us. No past problems, no past sins. I see your face and I long to cup it in My hands and tell you how much your Father loves you.

Believe that, dear one. Know it from the bottom of your heart.  

You and Me. Me and you.

Isaiah 1:18, New King James Version:

““Come now, and let us reason together,” Says the Lord, “Though your sins are like scarlet, They shall be as white as snow; Though they are red like crimson, They shall be as wool.”

Child of Mine, as the morning breaks over the mountains, I am thinking of you. You are in My mind now and always. Even when you were asleep, I was watching you. Every moment that goes by I completely surround you with My love and care.

I want you to remember that today when your problems seem overwhelming, and it seems you can’t breathe. Remember Me and My love for you, and how we can walk through, over, under and around anything that comes up. I am your strength.

Did you know you have your own angel? He is also with you. You are well taken care of, beloved. Never fear. I will never let you down,

I am not just helping you through situations on earth, I am guiding you to bigger and better places. The plans I have for you are greater than you can imagine.

I just need you to trust Me and to walk with Me.

Together we will reach the stars.

Psalms 91:11-13, New King James Version:

“For He shall give His angels charge over you, To keep you in all your ways. In their hands they shall bear you up, Lest you dash your foot against a stone. You shall tread upon the lion and the cobra, The young lion and the serpent you shall trample underfoot.”

Your heart is filled with gratitude this morning as you learn more about Me. I love your thanks and praise…..not just for Me, but because it is good for you.

When you praise Me, it lightens your soul. It promotes health and frees your spirit. Always find time every day to thank Me for the blessings I have bestowed upon you.

Go to your quiet place and make a list of the things you can think of that I have blessed you with. Refer to these every day, and write more down as I enlighten you.

Doing this simple practice will help you be more aware of how closely I watch over you.  You will become more sensitive to it when even little things happen.  

My hand is working in your life, all part of your pathway towards Me, dear one.  

Come, sit at My knee and let Me share My love with you!

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

“As you therefore have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him, rooted and built up in Him and established in the faith, as you have been taught, abounding in it with thanksgiving.”

Do I remember you? Yes, beloved, I remember you now and always. You are in My thoughts every moment of your day. Always.

Just when you think something disastrous is going to happen, it all turns out ok. Your understanding of the word disastrous is redefined because with Me you can go through anything. I will never allow it to happen if I know you cannot handle it.

Know that it is always in My hands. Don’t be angry at Me if it doesn’t go the way you planned, or that it didn’t go the way you think it needed to. There is so much you don’t understand now, but one day you will.

Even if something bad happened because you strayed from Me, when you return to the safety of My arms, I will make it all turn out okay.

That’s how much I love you!! I watch over your every move. Trust in Me for the outcomes.  I will always take care of you.

Ezekiel 16:60, New King James Version:

“Nevertheless I will remember My covenant with you in the days of your youth, and I will establish an everlasting covenant with you.”

Surround yourself today with the peace of My presence. Let it invade your very soul. Breathe it in deeply, and exhale all the cares of this world.

How will you know, absolutely know, I am with you? By your breathing.  

I give you life, dear one. I created you in your mother’s womb. I formed your fingers and toes, your eyes and hair, and made your heart beat. When you were born, I had you draw your first breath of air into the lungs I so lovingly designed.

I am the Creator. You are My masterpiece. Go through the day with that assurance.  Consciously breathe in My love and presence, and breathe out the pain and loneliness.

I still know every beat of your heart. I am with you now in this way. Soon you will see Me face to face. What a glorious day that will be!!

Know, beloved. Really know!

Psalms 139:13-14, New King JamesVersion:

“For You formed my inward parts; You covered me in my mother’s womb. I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Marvelous are Your works, And that my soul knows very well.”

How I have longed for the closeness you desire!! It is a positive step that you, too, are feeling this desire to be close to Me.

The best way to do that is to simply trust. Trust in Me. Trust in My presence. Know that I am beside you, loving you, all the way.

In this life you will have trouble. My desire is not to take you away from those troubles, but through those troubles, draw you into Myself. You will grow so much!!

Every decision you make determines our relationship. If you follow the Holy Spirit’s urging, you are drawing one step closer to Me. Every time you ignore the urgings, I have to step back a little. Not from loving and caring for you, but from a deeper communion with you.

Open the door, beloved, and let the floodgates of My love and joy fill you up.

John 16:33, New King James Version:

“These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.””

How beautiful are the feet of those who toil for Me! I will guide their steps until we are together. I will show them the path to peace and love.  

It is only found in Me, dear one, only in Me.

There are many people who seem to have it all, but they do not. They ache inside. They want the true meaning of life. They lie awake in the middle of the night, frightened, and in the morning, they continue on in their meaningless lives, striving more and more fervently for money, power and fame.  

But I have chosen you, and you are walking with Me. 

Your greatest success will not be on this earth. It is on the other side with Me.

So do not envy those who seem to have no problems. Their deepest souls are frightened.

Those who love and serve Me are filled with joy and peace and the knowledge of My love for them through Jesus Christ, My only begotten Son.

Keep your eyes fixed on Me, beloved. You have chosen to walk with Me. 

Only on this path is there true joy.

Isaiah 43:10, New King James Version:

““You are My witnesses,” says the Lord, “And My servant whom I have chosen, That you may know and believe Me, And understand that I am He. Before Me there was no God formed, Nor shall there be after Me.”

Let Me fill your life with joy this morning, beloved one! True, unadulterated joy. The joy of knowing you are loved and protected by the Ruler of the universe Who so lovingly planned and created you.

I can fill your soul to the brim with My peace and love. I can soothe your soul, aching though it may be, with tenderness and mercy. I can give you hope again for the future. I can gather you into My arms and hold you until your fears subside and I can tell you the truths from My Word that will encourage you and give you purpose.

“Yes!”, you say, “I want all of those things.” They are there but for the taking, dear one. I long to grant you this and so much more!

Just ask. Just trust. Just believe. 

You can’t be more loved than you are right now. Reach out your hand. Let Me take it in Mine.

You are ok now, for you are with Me. You are loved so very, very much.

Psalms 13:5-6, New King James Version:

“But I have trusted in Your mercy; My heart shall rejoice in Your salvation. I will sing to the Lord, Because He has dealt bountifully with me.”

Dear child of Mine, you are confused and worried today. Don’t you know to let Me carry your load? 

I stand waiting, ready to help you.

I have everything in My hands: you, all of your problems, all the good you have ever done, all the mistakes you have made. 

Let Me take care of you and I will make everything work out for good.

Where are you in the vision I have given you? Do you steadfastly work towards that goal?  Never doubt that together we can accomplish it. 

I will never let you down, dear one. Take My hand.

Romans 8:28-29, 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. For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren.”
