Look at the beauty of nature all around you. It is the closest revelation of Me.  

Do you live in a concrete jungle with little visible sign of Me? Take time to travel to the beauty of a hillside or park where lush grass grows and tiny flowers bud, where birds sing and where squirrels run happily to and fro.

I created these things. Spend time there, and appreciate the wonder of creation as you study the trees and flowers. You will feel My presence close to you, a slight wind like My breath on your skin.

If it is not possible to spend time in nature, close your eyes and call out My name, for My promise that I will never leave you, no matter where you are, is very real.  

While easier to sense Me in the glory of My creation, I will draw near to you no matter where you are. Just call out My name. 

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,”

My child is forever young to Me, forever free and wild. I see you running down a hill with the wind in your hair, freely taking in exuberant joy.

Is that vision of your life here on earth? No, and in fact, you may not even be able to imagine it. There is loss, hardship and pain all around you, but freedom and unabandoned joy is your future.

For now, stay in My presence. Draw near to Me. I am your Strength. I am your Guide. With Me all things will become clear.

You don’t understand the pain you or others must go through, and sometimes you cry out wondering where I am. I am with you, My love. Through the hardest of times, I have never left your side. You are still here, standing, in communion with Me.

Remember your “thus far” rock, the rock I asked you to find and keep close to you so that when you look at it, it would be a remembrance that I have brought you this far, and that you are still standing and that I will never leave you.

Hold on to that knowledge and don’t let go, because I will never let you go. 

Isaiah 46:4, New King James Version:

“Even to your old age, I am He, And even to gray hairs I will carry you! I have made, and I will bear; Even I will carry, and will deliver you.”

You desire a closer union with Me. I want to grant you that union. To be one with Me in your heart and soul will be truly wonderful. You may strive all you want for this union but the true beauty in your heart and soul is a gift from Me. It can never be attained on your own.

There are those who have spent their lives doing good works trying to attain not only this “goodness” but eternal life, as well. My heart goes out to reach them constantly, asking them to receive the Holy Spirit, to receive Jesus Christ into their lives, and if they accept these gifts, eternal life, as well.

But many just go on their way in their effort to attain perfection through works. I am not in their souls. I am not in their hearts. This is a form of evil itself. The devil will even use good works to keep their eyes off Me.

Do not give up trying to help these souls as their hearts are crying out for Me. They hope by doing good works they will fill the emptiness in their souls, but it will only be found in Me. Receipt of My gift will set them free to love and laugh and to reach out to others for the right reasons.

Come close and commune with Me. Embrace the gift of My Son Jesus Christ.  

You and Me. Me and you.

Galatians 2:16, New King James Version:

“knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law but by faith in Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, that we might be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the law; for by the works of the law no flesh shall be justified.”

Your heart is breaking today, and you can’t see the love I wish to consume you with. Can’t I make the pain go away?

Let this time of pain be one where you and I draw closer together, where your feelings for Me, your need of Me, runs long and deep, filling up a chasm of darkness with love. Let Me comfort you through the emptiness and fear you are experiencing.  

How much do I love you? Oh, My dear, it cannot be measured or explained in your words, or in any words. We are on a never-ending trip together to discover that love.

You are in My love. You were created out of love, you were created for love, for Me Who is love.

Lie down and let Me float you through quiet waters of love and peace.  

You are here with Me now. Relax, close your eyes and let Me guide you. The water is rocking you gently on each side, but you are in peace and love.  

You are not feeling the fear or pain now, just peace in knowing that you are loved so much. I will not let you sink. Rest completely in My arms and you will float more freely.

For right now, that is how to say I love you. You will feel it when you learn to trust Me and to relax in My arms. 

I AM LOVE.

Isaiah 26:3-4, New King James Version:

“You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You. Trust in the Lord forever, for in YAH, the Lord, is everlasting strength.”

You may fall, dear one, but you are never out of My care and love. Don’t allow the devil to make you feel separated from Me because you strayed away for a moment, or even downright sinned.  His whole goal is to separate us.

Just come back to me by coming to your quiet place and rest in My presence until you sense the security of My peace inside you. You can have that, dear one. Christ prayed that we might be one as He and I are one. His death made that possible.

So never think for a moment that any sin can separate us. Come and cleanse yourself in Me by asking forgiveness and then start anew, washed by the blood of the Lamb of God.  

Come now and regain, or start for the first time, the precious relationship with Me that will satisfy you, filling the longing in your soul like no other.  

I am here now and forever, always loving, always waiting.

Romans 8:1-2, New King James Version:

“There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death.”

Why are you so scared of the future? You feel so alone, yet you are not alone, for I am with you.  You can sense My presence now if you would take the time to come and pour out your heart to Me.

I am so close to you right now. If you are in a hospital bed, or beside someone there, or you are alone in your house, or if you even feel alone in a group of people, I am here to tell you today, that you are NOT alone.

Sometimes you ache so badly from it that you can hardly breathe. How I want to come and scoop you up into My arms and comfort you! Oh, My love.

Come away with Me. Close your eyes and envision My presence, sitting or walking right beside you, for I am right now, My love. I AM, and I always will be.

I will never leave you or forsake you. You are the child I gave so much up for. No matter how old you are, you will be forever My child.

Reach your hands up now and put them around My neck. Let Me draw you into My loving care.  The peace will flow through your entire body.

Now you must imagine and believe but not forever. One day, My precious child, you will see the world through joy. I will watch you run and skip through glorious flowers of red and yellow, in a land where only love reigns.

Until that time, you will never be alone. Never.

Psalms 73:25-26, New King James Version:

“Whom have I in heaven but You? And there is none upon earth that I desire besides You. My flesh and my heart fail; but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.”

You are reaching out to Me this morning. Your desire is to get to know Me and to be closer to Me.  How pleased I am! My heart is full of joy that My beloved one wants a closer walk with Me.  

Just put one foot in front of the other today. Don’t just read these words, but open your Bible and let Me speak to you through it. You will be warmed and comforted by reading the words. Do this today, putting one foot in front of the other, conquering the fear and loneliness that surround you.

Do not let yourself fall into the chasm of loneliness. There are people all around you. Reach out for them. Right now you may only think it is you and Me, but you and Me mean many others that need to be reached with the good news of My love.

Reach out for My hand. I have so much in store for you! Come and pour your heart out before Me now.

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.”

MEDITATIONS FROM YOUR ABBA FATHER

The feeling you had the other day of Me holding you was real, dear one. It was something I have been wanting to share with you for a long time. 

Someday you will be in that embrace. You will see Me. You will feel My arms around you. You will know the absolute security in Me.

But for now, close your eyes and envision it. Know, dear one, know, that I am with you. Lay your head on My shoulder and let Me fill you with My love and strength and power: the power of the Holy Spirit that will be in you to guide and direct your ways and your words.

When you come away from our time together you will be able to face whatever is before you today.  One day at a time. One step at a time.

Close your eyes, dear one and come to rest at My side. My loving arms await.

Ephesians 3:14-19, New King James Version:

“For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man, that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height— to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.”

You are My chosen child, so precious in My sight. I have gone to Heaven to prepare a place for you to come and be with Me forever, but now you are feeling alone, dear one. You are not now, or ever, alone. I am always with you.

Are you afraid? Do not be afraid of anything. Everything you are facing I knew about before time began, and I have armed you with the strength and ability to not only face it, but to conquer it beautifully.

I have trained you for this moment, for this adventure. You are well armed with Me and a host of angels at your side. 

Try to envision us walking with you everywhere you go. Only, don’t worry about holding the door open for us. We don’t face those challenges!

Be assured that the child of the King will never walk in alone! You are a conqueror because you chose Me, and because you choose Me everyday!

Psalms 27:1, New King James Version:

“The Lord is my light and my salvation; Whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life; Of whom shall I be afraid?”

Are you in great despair, beloved one? Do you feel like there is no answer for what you are going through? That there is no way out……no future?

Oh, My love, there is. I created you, and when I did,  I made a plan for your life. There is no need to despair. These feelings you have are temporary. This, too, will pass. You must believe that.  

You will rise again with joy in the morning.

Never give up. I will guide you through this. Your pain seems unbearable at times. Reach out your hand and let Me take it in Mine. Mine is warm and loving. There is no pain that together we cannot overcome, no horror in your past that we cannot pass through. Take one step at a time towards the light I have prepared for you here.

You may never know true love and acceptance on this earth, but you know Me and I know you.  There is no greater love on earth than what I have for you. I gave My Son to die for you. No greater love can ever be shown.

What you can’t see, I ask you to feel. Feel the comfort of My presence and My continual guidance in your life. Let Me hold you in My arms until your pain stops.  

Never give up fighting for the breakthrough of joy. Never give up on Me,  for I WILL NEVER GIVE UP ON YOU, and on trying to show you My love.

Hebrews 12:1-2, New King James Version:

“Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.”
