Precious child of Mine, let Me draw you into My presence now. Close your eyes and think of Me. I am truly with you now.

Don’t worry about the problems you face today. I have already handled them. You need only to put one foot in front of the other and hold My hand. 

Together we can do anything!!

Have you anything in your life that requires washing, cleansing from your soul? 

Search your heart, My child. Make it clean. Come to Me unburdened by the sin of this world so that I may bestow blessings upon you.

You are Mine, dear one. I have chosen you. Come and find peace in Me.

Psalms 139:23-24, New King James Version:

“Search me, O God, and know my heart; Try me, and know my anxieties; And see if there is any wicked way in me, And lead me in the way everlasting.”

Thank you, child, for the profession of your love for Me. I love to hear you say it. 

Only I am Love, but I know your love and it is beautiful for Me to hear you profess it.

Don’t be afraid, dear one, for I am with you. The problems you are swimming in are not insurmountable. I know they are there and I am taking care of them in My time. Your job is to trust Me, and to never doubt Me.

Look up to Me with your soul. Seek My presence with your whole heart and you will find Me. I will never let you down.

Don’t be weary. Come to Me and I will give you rest.  

You are Mine, beloved. The personal and adored creation of My hands. Have joy in this knowledge!

Jeremiah 29:13, New King James Version:

“And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart.”

I love you fully, dear child, fully and completely. Learning to let go and let Me show you My love is one of the most wonderful gifts I can give you.

Practice it now. Close your eyes and think of Me. Consciously put all the activities of your day in My hands. Release it entirely to Me. Trust that I am with you and that I will guide you through everything.

The peace that you feel when you free yourself of your problems and allow Me to take them over is My gift to you. 

We have grown one step closer on our journey together. How precious that is to Me! How precious you are to Me!

Hold My hand tightly, beloved, for I am at the helm of your life. Don’t ever let go. 

Smooth sailing? No, but come and experience the connection. You will never go back.

I love you, dear one.

Philippians 4:6-7, New King James Version :

“Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.”

Come deep with Me, My love. Walk with Me through gardens of time. 

Sense Me. Feel Me.  I am all around you.

Learn to draw Me into yourself so that there I may abide with you through all of life’s challenges. The joy you will find is incomparable.

Come walk with Me, beloved. Deeply, earnestly seek My presence. You will find me.  

A storehouse of love and joy awaits.

Psalms 42:7, New King James Version :

“Deep calls unto deep at the noise of Your waterfalls; All Your waves and billows have gone over me.”

Lift your eyes up to Me this morning, for there you will find the peace you so fervently seek. You will not find it in worldly pleasures.

Look up. Seek My presence in your life. 

I know everything that is going on. I know each of your issues. The answers haven’t come yet, and you wonder if I even know or care.

Oh, I do, dear one. I know things you don’t and because of that, I am asking you to trust Me.

When all the world seems bleak, when you don’t think you can go on any further, you can. For I am with you, and all will work out in My time.

I am your Shepherd, guiding you constantly if you let Me. Just look up and trust Me.

Psalms 9:10, New King James Version:

“And those who know Your name will put their trust in You; For You, Lord, have not forsaken those who seek You.”

Out of the recesses of your mind come thoughts that make you wonder where they came from…surprisingly ill thoughts towards others.  

A momentary guilt washes over you as you correct them.

Where did they come from, you ask? They come from the evil one himself. The one cast out of heaven so long ago. He parades this earth hoping to take captive those who do not ally themselves with Me.

Those he captures are not just the weak ones. They are strong leaders of nations, of large corporations, all the way down to the lonely person on the street.

Your connection with Me enables you to push those evil thoughts (and Satan himself!) right out of your mind. As time goes on, he will try harder and harder to collect those nearest to Me. 

Stay close, dear one, for with Me you will have protection and love.  

Remember I have already defeated him, and he is just desperate to have as many people as possible go with him through the gates of hell.

You have all the power you need to overcome whatever he puts in front of you. He is very real, dear one. Don’t ever let go of our connection. Keep your eyes on Me and you will find true joy!

1 John 4:4, New King James Version:

“You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.”

Listen to Me this morning, child. 

You are dear to Me, so very precious. You should face this day with the assurance that you are the child of the King and that you are loved very much.

Whatever trials come up before you today, know that it is the adventure I have set before you, all part of the panorama you will someday watch at My side as we go over your life here on earth.

There will be many scenes that make you sad because you didn’t think of Me and handled things poorly, or perhaps one in which you didn’t tell someone who was hurt about Me.

But I am also anxious to have you see the scenes where you did help others unknowingly: just by your presence, by the love you extended, the touch on a lonely person’s arm. I want you to see how your life really makes a difference to so many people here.

Your daily moment-by-moment connection with Me will make you more sensitive to the Holy Spirit’s urgings towards those around you in need.

Walk with me today, dear one. Make memories you will want to watch one day with Me.

1 Corinthians 13:12 New King James Version:

“For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known.”

You gave your life to Me once. I am asking you to give it anew to Me every morning.

True salvation comes in the daily laying down of your life before Me. Then I can bestow such joy on you, dear one!! Joy that I long to share with you, intimate moments that should never be forgotten.  

Write our special moments down. Times when I granted you a miracle, times you felt nearness to Me, or received an answer you had been seeking in our times of communion and prayer.

And come to me not only in your mind, but seek Me fervently on your knees, bending low in complete humility, waiting for Me to bestow blessings upon you.

I can never express to you how precious these moments are, and how I long to sweep you up to be with Me in Heaven.

But you are here as you must be now, and if you ask Me to, I will never be farther away than a thought.

You are so loved, dear one. Some day you will know and understand. Until then, just bask in the knowledge by your faith which I have bestowed on you through Jesus Christ.

2 Corinthians 4:17-18, New King James Version:

“For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory, while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal.”

Dear child of Mine, you have placed your requests before Me. I will answer them. I will remember you through all the activities of your day, during times of joy or times of pain. 

Every thought you have, every step you take, I will know, for I know you. You are truly with Me, and I with you. 

Oh, beloved one, you are more in-tune with Me than you were before. Your love is opening to me more and more. Don’t you see, if you were able to give all of yourself, how far we could go together?

I have so many plans for you. You know the path I want you to take. I have given you the vision.

The road seems dark but it is all part of our important journey together….one in which you will grow close to Me.

Don’t ever be satisfied with mediocrity. I have a big plan for you. You sense it, but are not sure exactly how to get there.

Just come to Me every morning, give your life to Me and together we will start our journey.

What a great day it will be today if you don’t let go of My hand!

Proverbs 16:1, 3, New King James Version:

“The preparations of the heart belong to man, But the answer of the tongue is from the Lord. Commit your works to the Lord, And your thoughts will be established.”

How many times I long to comfort you! You don’t understand why things are happening the way they are now, and you are scared.  

Dear one, I am asking you to trust Me.  

What you are going through is a very important time in your life, one during which I am drawing closer to you. Do you feel Me? I am here with you right now. 

I will take care of you. I will ease your fears.

As much as it seems to the unbeliever’s eye that I have turned from you, I have never been closer. I am here. I will not let you go. Use this time to reach out and touch Me.

Find your quiet place and kneel down and talk to Me. I am with you and very aware of all that is going on. We will walk through this together.  

When we get to the other side of this valley, you will be a stronger person. You will not fail.  The King of all creation is at your side.  

Breathe deeply, and know I am beside you. Rest in the peace of that assurance.  

It’s ok, dear one. It’s okay. I am with you.

1 Peter 1:3-5, New King James Version:

“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His abundant mercy has begotten us again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to an inheritance incorruptible and undefiled and that does not fade away, reserved in heaven for you, who are kept by the power of God through faith for salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.”
