Oh, My beloved child, arise with power and joy in your being, the power and joy of My Son Jesus Christ, who died for you on Calvary!

Testify of His love and forgiveness to all around you today. Receive the warmth of My good pleasure in your soul.

All is right and all is good when you stay close to Me. Think about these things. Dwell on them.

I am love. I am the source of all power. I am forgiveness. Through Me only you will have peace.  

I give you My love. I give you My power. I give you My forgiveness. I ask you to share it with others, with your family and with all those around you.

You are My shining light. It is through the power I give you enabling you to love and forgive that others are brought to Me. Never forget that.  

In your daily treatment of others, always consider My will and pleasure. And I have much pleasure, beloved! 

You are My pleasure and My joy. Come and walk with Me now.

Psalms 47:1-2, New King James Version:

“Oh, clap your hands, all you peoples! Shout to God with the voice of triumph! For the Lord Most High is awesome; He is a great King over all the earth.”

In My time, I will have you understand the things in this world. For now, I just want you to trust Me. Trust that you are loved and cared for and that your life with Me makes your path meaningful and important.

Never doubt that you have a purpose here. I created you in My image. I created you to fill a very important role on earth for Me. Mostly, I created you to love and serve Me. 

You see, I love and need you, too. I long to hear you express your feelings to Me. When you whisper the words “I love you”, it enforces our connection and fills Me with joy.

But I also created you to fill a special role here. Whether I have you leading a country, or speaking softly to a child, your role was pre-planned and very important in this world.

Ask Me to give you a clear direction, if you have doubts as to your role. Keep our connection strong and face the future with the assurance that every day of your life is very precious to Me, and that you are needed here.

Psalms 73:23-24 New King James Version:

“Nevertheless I am continually with You; You hold me by my right hand. You will guide me with Your counsel, and afterward receive me to glory.”

Shine with the light of My love today. You are My chosen child to whom I have entrusted the glory of My love and salvation through Jesus Christ.

Today, reach towards the highest level of the vision I have given you. Put your hand among the stars in My firmament. With Me all things are possible.  

Did Jesus not say you could even move a mountain if you had but faith as big as a tiny mustard seed?

No challenge is too big that together you and I can’t conquer it. You have My power when you live in My will and if all is done to glorify My name.

So rise up in joy and strength this morning, for I have already conquered the world! Now, go do the same for that which I have put in front of you.

Nothing is too big or overwhelming, dear one. Not with Me at your side.  

Smile, for you are loved.

Matthew 19:26, New King James Version:

“But Jesus looked at them and said to them, “With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”

Come to Me with a pure love, beloved.

Empty your pockets of sin, envy, hatred and fear. Know that I am the God of love and forgiveness.

Are you having a hard time learning to leave your feelings of pain and unforgiveness at My altar? Only when you do will you find true peace and contentment. You only hurt yourself when you carry these unnecessary burdens.

“But I have been so unfairly treated!,” you say. You WANT to be angry at that person.

Oh, My child, some day I will hold you in My arms and take away all your pain, but for now, release it to Me. Lay it at My feet.

I know the sacrifice you are making. Let Me carry it. Let Me deal with the offender in My own time….in My own way.

Rise up with true joy and peace and love.

It is impossible  on your own, but through Me all things are possible.

Psalms 16:11, New King James Version:

“You will show me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore.”

I am close beside you now, dear one, so close that I could enfold you in My arms forever. 

I feel the whisper of your breath.

Remember these moments between us when you feel alone, when you feel like there is no hope or that it is just you facing the world.

I am this close to you always. Just call out My name and all Heaven is at your command. Sin will flee from the Holiness of My presence.

Let loneliness be in your past as you seek a closer walk with Me. Let Me fill your empty moments with the joy of the Gift I gave to you on Calvary, and through it, the knowledge of your salvation.

Come close to Me now and let Me comfort you with this knowledge. There is no greater love, My child.  

Let your soul be permeated with the lightness of My being.  I AM LOVE, now and forevermore.

Isaiah 41:10, New King James Version:

“Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. Yes, I will help you. I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.”

Never feel that you are insignificant in this world. You are a very important part of My plan.  Although you are unaware of it most of the time, everything you do is watched by others.  They pay attention and are blessed by your presence and by your actions.

When you stay close to Me and listen to My urgings, I can make you more sensitive to how others are feeling; of their needs, so you can reach out and help them. This has happened often, and you were not aware that it was I who encouraged you.

I also use you to put your arms around people longing for human touch. There are so many lonely people who don’t know Me, and even if they do, they don’t know that if they take time to help others, their loneliness will disappear.

This life can be very rewarding, dear child, when you walk with Me. I have just the right plan for you if you will let Me lead you to it.  

Just put your hand in Mine.  Now and always.

Jeremiah 29:13-14, New King James Version:

“And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart. I will be found by you, says the Lord, and I will bring you back from your captivity; I will gather you from all the nations and from all the places where I have driven you, says the Lord, and I will bring you to the place from which I cause you to be carried away captive.”

Even now I feel the hesitation in your soul as I reach out to you. Why do you resist My love? Why do you put your trust in the things of this world?

When you do, you are putting yourself in the hands of the devil. He is always waiting, and he is oh, so subtle. He comes with worries, money problems, sexual suggestions, fighting, arguing, depression. If your eyes are not focused on Me, he has the ability to drag you away.

Stay focused on Me, the Author and Finisher of your faith. Let Me surround you with My love and light. The brightness of My being will comfort you. 

Let Me take your hand and guide you through time and space to dwell with Me. Don’t ever look down!

All day long, when the devil taunts you with discouragement and failure, keep your eyes on Me. Call out My name and step back into My light, for I am always with you, always taking care of you, always loving you.

Look up, beloved, to the lightness of My being.

Hebrews 12:2 New King James Version:

“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.”

How lovely it is when I hear you laugh, dear one!  Just as it is a parent’s joy to hear their children’s laughter, I, too, love to see you happy.  

True happiness comes from growth in Me, in faith and trust, in the total letting go and ridding yourself of the cares and toils of this world.

When Jesus was on earth, He went about My business, part of which was taking care of My chosen ones and keeping evil away from them, and sometimes, having to watch them learn the consequences of their sinful actions.

But then, as now, I make ALL things good and bad work together for good to those who have chosen to accept Me and Jesus’ ultimate sacrifice of death on the cross.

You are worried today about something? Don’t be, beloved. It has already been taken care of. Let Me hear your laughter as I ease the burden off your shoulders!

Oh, how I love you, dear one. How I love you! 

Romans 8:28 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.”

My child, I long to give you My peace. I need you to let go of your fears and place them in My hands. You must trust that I love you more than anyone can and that I am taking care of you in every way.

The answers may not seem like I am with you, taking care of you. But I know the end from the beginning and I have a purpose for everything in your life. Absolutely everything. 

You must learn to let go and trust.

Bring it all to Me in prayer and petition. Your requests are always before Me.

Have peace in Me, beloved one. You are My chosen child and I will never let you go.

Psalm 143:8, New King James Version:

“Cause me to hear Your lovingkindness in the morning, For in You do I trust; Cause me to know the way in which I should walk, for I lift up my soul to You.”

Feel the breeze on your face as I reach out to touch you. Imagine My presence right beside you. All your fears and concerns of the day should melt away.

I am not only near you now, but I will be near you all day and all night if you don’t push Me away. Let your worries float away and rest in the peace and joy of My presence.

What is so all-consuming to you that fills you with worry? How important is it? Don’t you know that the God of the entire universe is sitting beside you now, asking you to let Him take care of you?

Do not fear today of the future, beloved one. I have chosen you to love and protect, and one day, to take to heaven where we will be together face to face,

Reach your hand out and take Mine. The power you will receive is real. 

Let the peace of our connection guide you through the day.

Psalms 73:23-24, New King James Version:

“Nevertheless I am continually with You; You hold me by my right hand. You will guide me with Your counsel, And afterward receive me to glory.”
