I am here with you, child. Even though you can’t see Me now, you must believe it by faith. I am more alive and real in your life than anything else.

You can access Me at any time. Yes, I could have you feel Me and see Me, but in this world you must have faith. I am asking you to live by that faith now.

Your desires of growing closer to Me will be fulfilled. I have anointed you with the Holy Spirit Who lives in you.  

Please do not be sad, beloved, for you are My chosen one and what is in the dark will become clear very soon. It may be different than you thought, but it will be even better than you had imagined.  

You have a hard time seeing that as you hang on to what you know, what is comfortable to you…what makes earthly sense to you, but I have so much more waiting for you. Just let go and trust Me.

One day you will understand. One day you will know.

Ephesians 2:8 New King James Version:

“For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God,”

Beloved one, you are coming to Me in pain this morning. How I long to encircle you with My arms! Don’t you know I have everything in your life in the palm of My hand? Just lean on Me, and trust Me to take care of you.

You are looking for guidance. You want to know answers. I will give you those answers if you wait upon Me. You will know.  

Come to Me in quiet, and place your requests and questions before Me. I will tell you the answer when I know you are ready for it.

Everything you are going through now is a very important journey that I mapped out for you long ago. It has moved up and down as your connection with Me went in and out, but I knew all this would happen, and we are still on course.

Don’t be so worried about a situation you think is horrendous. To Me it is only a blip, and I will be right beside you.

Just trust Me and rejoice. Besides, tomorrow will have enough problems of it’s own….. more new things for you to learn on your journey.

Take one day at a time, beloved. I am with you each step of the way!!    

1 Peter 5:6-7 New King James Version:

“Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time, casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.”

MEDITATIONS FROM YOUR ABBA FATHER

Let Me fill you with My love and holiness this morning, providing you with the grace you need for today.

You have so many questions, dear one. Learn to bring them to Me. Put them down at My feet and just let them go. The burdens you are carrying with them will ease and you will find true peace.

But it is a daily practice of laying them down at My feet that is so necessary. The devil will try to overwhelm you by bringing them up in your mind again. Give them to Me, dear one.  

“Let not your heart be troubled.” “Come to Me all that are heavy laden and I will give you rest.” Jesus said that over 2000 years ago, yet is is so hard for you to let go.

Find true peace in this gift.

Focus on Me. I will  always take care of you and the burdens that you carry.

“Be of good cheer, for I have overcome the world!!”

““Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also.”

Remember the joy when you first realized My love for you? You were so excited. You had longed to be truly loved, and felt it for the first time. I had to wait until just the right moment to reveal it to you as you wouldn’t have understood it before

But now you understand a little, and I will be revealing more and more to you as we grow together.

Come and walk with Me. Hold My hand and let Me guide you through the day, protecting you and caring for you.

The road is glorious ahead. Every step you take with Me will prepare you for it. 

This is not your permanent home. The place I have prepared for you is wondrous, indeed. We will truly be together there, seeing each other face to face. No more darkness. No more pain.

Hold My hand tightly, beloved. We will walk together, bathed in My love.

John 15:9-11 New King James Version:

“As the Father loved Me, I also have loved you; abide in My love. If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love, just as I have kept My Father’s commandments and abide in His love. “These things I have spoken to you, that My joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be full.”

I have blessed you with love, dear one. You don’t have to look far to know that. It is all around you in everything I made, in the rocks, in the birds, in the mountains, in the trees.

I gave you love to share with others. Not just family, but with those who are lonely, or are hurting.  

Be My ambassador of love so that through you they may see Me. Let love and light surround you today.  

The knowledge of My nearness to you should put you in peace if you accept it. 

Share it with others. Be a shining presence. Imagine it. Let My love so pervade your being that the joy of it shines through. Let there be “something different” about you.

Go into this day bathed in knowledge of My love and care for you. Reach out to others. They need to know.

Philippians 1:9, 11 New King James Version:

“And this I pray, that your love may abound still more and more in knowledge and all discernment, being filled with the fruits of righteousness which are by Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.”

How precious you are to Me, dear child. How I love our time together!  

Did I awaken you this morning and encourage you to spend this time with Me? I want to draw so close to you, but the only way you can learn of Me is by choosing to spend this time with Me.

Don’t get drawn in by the distractions of the world. That is why I ask you to come to Me first thing, before your day starts.

Satan is very intimidated by our time together. If you wait, and try to fit it in later, he will see to it that your day is way too busy. He knows that when you come to Me, I will give you My shield of protection covering you with love, and that it will help you to listen and obey Me, and to think of Me throughout the day. Our morning time together gives you the strength to face anything he throws at you.

Come and let Me draw you into My arms, dear one. Let Me surround you with My love.  Lay your head upon My chest. Close your eyes and know I am here, and I am real, and know that there is no other love like this anywhere on this earth.

Go out into the day now, armed with My presence. Abide in My love and joy.

Psalms 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.”

Child, the road I am asking you to walk with Me on is only for you. Don’t look at others’ walk. I have created you and prepared you for this time.

Do not think you are walking alone, for I am always beside you. Not only have I given you this vision, I have equipped you for it. You have every tool you need to march forward.

Don’t be discouraged when the way looks impossible. Absolutely NOTHING is impossible with Me.  

You will fulfill that vision if you take My hand. I will never forsake you or let you down.  

He Who loves you more than you will ever understand is right beside you, equipping you.

Take My hand, beloved one.  

Psalms 48:14, New King James Version:

“For this is God, Our God forever and ever; He will be our guide even to death.”

You bring your requests to Me in Jesus’ name. Do you know how precious that is to Me?  My very existence is tied to love for My beloved Son. I want Him to be worshipped and glorified.

He has always been with Me. We knew even before Eve took the first bite of the forbidden apple that Jesus would have to go down to earth. There was a part of us that wanted Him to go and experience everything through the eyes of the humans We had created, but there was a larger part of Us that dreaded the horrible pain He would go through, the rejection, total humiliation from those We created and loved.  

And then the awful separation as I withdrew and let Him die, so alone and in so much pain, bearing the weight of the world’s sin on His beautiful shoulders.

So, when you come to Me in prayer and close the prayer, “In Jesus’ Name”, a thousand electric bolts go through the air as what you have said has special significance or special delivery.

“In Jesus’ Name”…how precious to hear. How wonderful that you, My beloved, chosen child, would come to Me in the Name of the Most precious being in the universe.

“In Jesus’ Name”. I have afforded that statement all the power in the world.  

And to you, My child, I have given that power, through Jesus…….in Jesus’ Name.

John 15:16 New King James Version:

“You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask the Father in My name He may give you.”

MEDITATIONS FROM YOUR ABBA FATHER

This morning I was watching you as you slept. I saw you wake up and longed to reach out and gather you into My arms as a father would, to comfort and care for His beloved child, but I resisted and let you arise and start your day.  

Did you start it with Me? Did you ask for My presence to fill you with strength and courage?

How you start the day is crucial, dear one. Gaining access to Me is always available to you, but those first waking moments set a standard for the whole day.

Once we have made the connection, I can fill you with My love, joy and purpose. We have a purpose, dear one, a noble purpose! One in which you walk with Me side by side, reaching out to help those in need, touching the shoulder of one in pain, encouraging those around you. Through our connection, I will make you aware of them. So many are hurting, in need of the knowledge of My love and care for them.

That is your purpose today, dear child. Listen to My gentle urgings. You will see and know.

Psalms 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.”

Ever wonder where a butterfly comes from, or how there are so many different ones, with brilliant patterns and colors splashed on their wings? We had fun creating them, hoping you would take time to notice and appreciate their unusual beauty.

So much of creation is a reminder of Who I am, and how much I love you.

Have you ever noticed the spots on a jaguar, the brilliant colors of tropical fish? The earth is teeming with creatures too beautiful to have “evolved”! They were created for you, to bring your mind to Me.  

Even if someone never has the ability to get close to a Bible, they can find Me through nature. Take time to study it. Go to places where you can experience it first hand.

When you do, you are drawing out of the busyness of the world and taking time to refresh your love and gratitude for Me.

Nature sings praises to Me all the time. Join them in their festive songs, and draw ever closer to the Lover of your soul.

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.”
