Come to Me, you who are heavy-laden, and I will give you rest. How many times have you heard that, yet they were just words in your ears?

The joy I feel when you come to Me is indescribable.  

I see you so worried, so upset, yet all you need to do is come to Me and lay your burdens, and yourself, at My feet and I will carry the load for you. I will pick you up in My arms and carry you to a place where you will feel safe and warm. 

Resting in My arms, all your cares will melt away.

Come to Me now, dear one. I am always waiting, always near.

Matthew 11:28, New King James Version:

“Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.”

Oh, dear child of Mine, you are feeling lost today. Not from me, but from the situations in this world. 

Do not let them overwhelm you. One day you will understand why everything happened. Some people make choices apart from Me with disastrous consequences. Others have given their life to Me and you don’t understand why I don’t make their life easy.

Please trust Me, dear one. I know the best. When you come to understand, you will concur that all My decisions brought good.  

Through pain, through loss, through hardship, I WAS ALWAYS THERE.

I will never leave your side, for you are the love of My life, for whom My heart sings.  

Trust Me.

Hosea 10:12, New King James Version:

“Sow for yourselves righteousness; Reap in mercy; Break up your fallow ground, for it is time to seek the Lord till He comes and rains righteousness on you.”

Each day you awake from sleep is a new start. How creation sings My praise in the morning as the sun creeps up over the horizon! Every living creature knows of Me and thanks Me for their very existence.

Do you? Don’t be so busy that you fail to spend that precious morning time with Me. It will determine the outcome of your day.  

Look forward to it. I watch over you in the night and I watch over you when you are awake.  I would be so happy if your first thoughts were of Me, talking to Me, asking Me to continue keeping you and your family safe during the day, guiding you, helping you to make the right decisions, helping you to say the right words in moments of stress.

You can have this lifeline to Me if you just ask for it. I want this type of relationship with you so much that I sent My Son to die alone on a cross. Words can’t describe it, but don’t you see?

The Lover of your soul awaits, dear one. Just ask. I long to hear your words to Me in the morning, or any time.

Come home to My love. Come home to peace. Just spend time with Me.

Proverbs 8:17, Nee King James Version:

“I love those who love me, And those who seek me diligently will find me.”

Oh, My child, you are here with Me now, restoring your soul, finding strength and joy in our communion. There is so much I want to share with you, so much I want you to learn.

Come and see that I am good, that I love you more than anything you can ever imagine.  Feel the joy of completeness in Me, for in that you will have true peace and happiness.

I am never farther away than the whisper of My name. At your slightest cry all Heaven can come to your aid.  

There is power in our connection, beloved. Use it for good. Use it for faith.

And know….really, really know that I am here now beside you, guiding you. 

Just ask.

James 5:16, New King James Version:

“Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.”

Close your eyes and dream of Me. Let Me take you to far away places where just you and I abide.

Imagine Jesus’ resurrection from the grave. What inexpressible joy there was, like no other ever! Those days without Him were the darkest days ever.

Yet, when He arose from the tomb, so full of triumph, how we all rejoiced!!

The greatest sacrifice ever to be made was over. The separation from My Beloved Son was ended! If only you could have seen Him kneeling at My feet when he returned!

What love was poured out by Him and I for you!  

Do not reject it, dear one. He withstood all glory and comfort to die a horrible death, separated from Me to atone for your sin. 

And I endured the horrible pain of knowing I could prevent My Son from this pain and abandonment. Yet for you, I did nothing but watch.

Talk to Him now, thanking Him for this ultimate gift. Think of it often in prayer, remembering, and let it help you to understand even just a little of the love We have for you.

John 17:19, New King James Version:

“And for their sakes I sanctify Myself, that they also may be sanctified by the truth.”

Are you Mine? Have you heard My voice? Yes, because you are learning how to listen.

I have always been close, desiring this nearness to you, but you have not tried to hear Me.

Perhaps it wasn’t as possible because the television or loud music was constantly blaring, or you were consumed with worry about your circumstances.

Come away to Me, beloved. Come to the still quietness of My presence. Sit at My feet and learn of Me. 

I love you with an everlasting love. That means I loved you before the foundation of the world, before you were born, throughout all your life, and even after you die.  I hold you in the palm of My hand with such love. 

You are Mine, blessed one. I have chosen you.  

Take My hand. Come to Me and learn of Me.

Isaiah 30:15, New King James Version:

“For thus says the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel: “In returning and rest you shall be saved; In quietness and confidence shall be your strength.” 

Oh, how beautiful the morning of your soul! The sweet urgings of My presence that come to you when you first wake up.

Listen to them, dear one.  

Talk to Me before you get out of bed. Give your day over to Me, your plans over to Me, so that we will face each and every challenge together, in My perfect plan.

What is the perfect plan? Your daily walk with Me, letting Me lead you through life. Living in Me will lead to joy you have not felt before….the joy of perfect love surrounding you always.  

Yes, you will slip, but I will be there to catch you. I am always near. 

Face today with courage, dear one. I have so much in store for you!!

Lamentations 3:25-26, New King James Version:

“The Lord is good to those who wait for Him, to the soul who seeks Him. It is good that one should hope and wait quietly for the salvation of the Lord.”

Entwine your soul with Mine. Lift yourself above the world and float through time and space with Me.

I am with you, beloved. I have so much love for you.  

Let Me carry you. You are bearing many burdens that I long to help you with.

You can find joy in anything. What kind of statement is that, you ask? How can there be joy in pain and hardship?  

The joy will be found in Me: in knowing My plan for your life; In trusting Me no matter what; In giving Me your utmost pain; In letting go, releasing the pain and weight that you bear.

Come to Me now and let it go. Fall into My arms and let Me hold you close. Soon I can tell you face to face why. One day it will all be over. 

I feel the pain you feel and I will always take care of you.

Come with Me now. Close your eyes, dear one. Imagine My presence. I am so close.  

Lay your head on My chest. I am with you now.

1 Peter 5:10-11, New King James Version:

“But may the God of all grace, who called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you. To Him be the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.”

Child, you are in My care. 

Your heart is seeking Me, and I am so glad. Our time together in the morning is very precious to Me.

Wear Me throughout the day. Don My protective armor and shield to face whatever comes your way.  

I am in you and around you. Together we can do anything!

Every step you take with Me I have planned for you. The steps you take away from Me I make good out of when you come back, but how sad that makes Me to see you reject not only Me, but the sacrifice we made for you on the cross. 

Nothing will compare, dear one.

The price has been paid, but new wounds are made when you reject that gift. Every time you reject the Holy Spirit’s urgings, you take one step away.

Learn to listen and obey. I am the still small voice. The more you listen and obey, the more I will lead you.

Continue lifting your heart towards Me this day. There will be so much joy!!

Romans 13:12 New King James Version

“The night is far spent, the day is at hand. Therefore let us cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light.”

You are still so overwhelmed with your problems. 

Don’t you know by laying them at My feet that I will take care of them? You need only to trust Me. You will receive peace and joy and be able to thank Me because we have grown closer. And I have been glorified, just in the release of all the problems you carry with you.

I understand how hard it is for you to lay them at My feet. If only you would understand how rewarding it will be! Why do you want to shoulder it all when the Ruler of all wants to take care of them and of you?

Put your hand in Mine, dear one. Close your eyes and breathe My love in deeply. Trust Me.

It takes trust to know I am with you, but time together will increase your faith. You will come to know, really know, I am beside you, longing for closeness with you.

I am here, dear one. Just let go 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.”
