Let Me hold you tightly in My arms this morning, beloved one, then you will have the memory of My presence go with you through the day.

Filter out all negative thoughts. Make them disappear by focusing on Me, your assurance of love and salvation.

Perhaps today will be different than you had planned it so carefully, but it’s not different than I had it so carefully planned! 

Such worries you have in the world! Are they really necessary? They only serve to upset you and others who depend on you, and it disturbs your health.

Learn to fully put your day in My hands. Turn it over to Me. Let Me guide your every step.  

How futile the plans of man! They run hither and fro in their important busyness….too busy to reach out to someone in need, or to comfort their child.  

What happiness does all this busyness bring?

True joy will be found in time spent with Me and from that, through taking the outstretched hand of a hurting child, through calling a lonely friend, through visiting the sick.

Live your life for Me, dear one. I have “busyness” mastered. Find contentment and peace.  

I am here….waiting for you.

Psalms 139:16, New King James Version:

“Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed. And in Your book they all were written, The days fashioned for me, When as yet there were none of them.”

Why are you waiting for Me to call you? I am here with you now. I have given you a vision for your life. Start heading towards that goal.

Use My Holy Word as your guide. Find passages that help you. Write them down and use them as reference tools. You are arming yourself with My protection and guidance.

When you feel like giving up, come to Me on bended knee. I will encourage and guide you.  Read over the passages you have picked out. My Word is as valid now as it was thousands of years ago. It is power for you.

And never forget to hold My hand. Letting Me stay beside you every minute will allow your path to stay straight.

Having trouble staying focused? Again, come to Me and let Me hold you for awhile as you spend time in the Bible and in prayer. You will be refreshed.

It is a great calling I have given you. Together we will do so much good in this evil world.

Don’t ever let go, beloved. Never let go. The One who chose you and loves you beyond measure is right beside you.

Exodus 9:16 New King James Version:

“But indeed for this purpose I have raised you up, that I may show My power in you, and that My name may be declared in all the earth.”

My love reaches out for you this morning, child. Do you know how precious you are to Me?

Yes, I am the Master of the seas, the Commander of the universe, the Creator, the Beginning and the End, yet, I am a doting Father in love with His child. 

Nothing can keep Me away from you. Not pain, sickness, evil or death. 

I am yours, dear one. Now and forever.

Breathe deeply and enjoy the favor of My love. Savor My presence. Trust in it’s fullness.

Every thought you think, every dream you have, I know. Many of them come from Me.

Relax and let go knowing you are loved and protected today! And smile. Let Me fill you with My joy!

Revelation 21:6 New King James Version:

“And He said to me, “It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give of the fountain of the water of life freely to him who thirsts.”

Oh, how joyous a new day is! Look for the signs of My creation in the simple things of life.  

Lift your head up to the heavens and shout “hallelujah!” to Me. Let the earth hear your praise for you are Mine, My chosen one. I have called you out of darkness into the light.  Walk in it.

Let your mind be filled with thoughts of Me, for I am with you always. Be always with Me.  

My love is an all-consuming passion in your life. Feel the joy. Radiate the joy! Feel the power and the freedom. Radiate that power and freedom.

Others around you will sense it and draw close to you because they feel comfort in your presence. In time, they will come to know it is Me who gives you this joy and peace.

Oh, dear one, put your hand in Mine. Let’s face this day with elation!  

How I love to feel your trust in Me! I am so proud of you!!

Psalms 5:11 New King James Version:

“But let all those rejoice who put their trust in You; Let them ever shout for joy, because You defend them; Let those also who love Your name Be joyful in You.”

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.”
