Precious in His Sight

May14

My dear child, you are precious. I love you more that you will ever comprehend. You are the crown of my creation. I am your Father; you are my darling daughter. I am the King; that makes you a princess. You are royalty in my kingdom here on earth.

You are made in my image. You are stunningly beautiful. You radiate the brilliance of my light in your eyes and in your smile. You give generously to others with your time and devotion. You love and nurture all those around you. You exhaust yourself meeting the needs of others. You empty yourself to fill another.

Come to me, my child. Let me lavish you with my love. Bask in knowledge that I love you more than you understand. Come to me and let me refresh your weary soul. Spend time with me alone, and I will rejuvenate your spirit. I will energize you with my presence and my word. Sit quietly with me, and listen to my voice.

I love spending time with you. Please take time to meet with me away from the noise and distractions of your busy life. Draw on my peace. It is available to you at all times.  I am the Prince of Peace, and my Spirit lives in your heart. You have access to my peace whenever you need it. Be still and know me more intimately.

You are my child; I am your Father. I am with you always. I will never leave you or forget about you. I care for you immensely. Drink deeply from  the well of my love. Drink until your thirsty soul is satisfied.  Make time for me. I am your daddy. Let me hold you in my arms. I will rejoice over you with singing and quiet you with my love. My love for you is so great that I gave the life of my Son for you. Will you now give your life to me? Live in the abundance that I have come to give you. Seek me and you will find me. I am right here waiting to connect with you. Listen to my voice and live the life I intended for you. I love you, my child.

 

Perfect Love

May9

“There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The man who fears is not made perfect in his love. We love because he first loved us. If anyone says, “I love God,” yet hates his brother, he is a liar. For anyone who does not love his brother, whom he has seen, cannot love God, whom he has not seen. And he has given us this command: Whoever loves God must also love his brother.” (1 John 4:18-21)

Is there someone unlovable in your life? Love him anyway. You are not perfect, but I have loved you perfectly. Therefore, love your brother who is not perfect with the love that you have been given. I loved you first, now you must love another. If you do not love your brother, you cannot say that you love me. I am love. Whoever lives in love, lives in me, and I in him.

I have commanded you to love one another. When you acknowledge Jesus as my Son, I live in you and you in me. I have loved you much. Love another with the same love I have given you. You will find the power to love from the One who lives in you. Do not love based on your own feelings. You may not feel like loving him, but it is the right thing to do. Because I live in you, you have the power to love the way I love.

 In order to love, you must be able to forgive. In order to forgive, you must love. Love is not love, until it is given away. Forgive your brother who has offended you, and you have loved him also. Do as I have commanded you. You will not fear the days ahead, when you walk in the commands I give you. When you love, you need not fear. Fear dreads punishment. There is no punishment for the one who loves me and loves his brother. Do you love me? Then, love him also.

Your Heart is My Dwelling Place

May5

“Show me your ways, O Lord, teach me your paths; guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my Savior, and my hope is in you all day long. Remember, O Lord, your great mercy and love, for they are from of old. Remember not the sins of my youth and my rebellious ways; according to your love remember me, for you are good, O Lord.” (Psalm 25:4-7)

My child, my love for you is great and unfathomable. My mercy is as from old. I remember not the sins of your youth, nor do I have record of your rebellious ways. I remember you according to my love for you. As I have given love and mercy in great portions to you, so you should be generous with your love and mercy to others.

My Spirit will show you my ways, and teach you the paths I have set down for you. Put your hope and trust in me. My truth will guide you on your journey. Look to me for your direction, and I will instruct you in the way chosen for you.

You are the one I love. I cherish the time we spend together. Seek me first in your day, and everything else will fall into place. Give me your first fruits, and the flood gates of heaven will open with blessing for you. Give me your reverent love, and I will confide in you. Call on me, and I will tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.

You are my beloved child. Hunger and thirst after me, and you will be satisfied. Seek me with all of your heart, and you will find me. You need to look no further than the depths of your own heart; I am there. Your heart is my dwelling place. The living God is living in you. Live not according to your own power, but by the Spirit who lives in you.

Rest Content

Apr28

“The fear of the Lord leads to life; then one rests content, untouched by trouble.” (Proverbs 19:23)

My darling one, read the verse more closely. It does not say when you fear me, you will not have trouble. I assure you, you will have trouble in this world. But when you believe in me, your sleep will be sweet. You will rest with contentment, because I am with you. Your soul will be untouched by the trouble you are in, because you put your faith and trust in me completely. I will see you through your trials. Your heart may remain calm in the midst of the storm, because I am at the helm. You know I am in control, and you rely on me to guide you.

I am the Prince of Peace. My Spirit lives in you. You have access to my peace at all times. You may live a life of peace even in the middle of your trials. Fear me and find your life in me. I am all you need. Rest contented in the assurance of knowing me. I am with you always. I will never leave you or forsake you. I love you more than you know. You are my beloved child. Put your faith in me, and rely on me for everything. I will see you through.

Armed for Battle

Apr2

My darling daughter, you are right in what you perceive. I am confirming to you, what I have been teaching you lately. There is one who has been chasing after me longer and harder than you have. There is much to learn from her. She has been down the road that you now travel on. Do not be envious of her, except that she is my child and that she pleases me. Put away all jealousy and envy, and replace it with inspiration and the desire for more knowledge. I will give you similar, and yet fresh, ways to write my story and deliver my message. Do not put me in a box. There is more than one way to get my message out, and I need armies of soldiers to do it. Will you be one of my soldiers? Will you fight this battle under my headship?

I do not mean to scare you, but you will encounter opposition. You need to be ready for the battle. You will be victorious because of me, but it will not all come easily. I am with you every step of the way. Turn to me, rely on me. I will be your shield and your sword. I give you my armor. I will protect you. Trust me and lean on me. I am with you always. Do not forget I am here. I will not let any harm come to you. You are of great worth to me.

Gird yourself with the sword of the Spirit, which is my Word. Use it when you are backed into a corner. My Word will get you out of the tightest of spots. Know my Word and use it generously and wisely. I have given you my breastplate of righteousness. It is my seal and sign that you belong to me. Wear it proudly. It will protect your heart. Hold up the shield of faith, and protect yourself from the blows of the enemy. Put on the helmet of salvation. Protect your mind with the knowledge that you belong to me, and nothing will separate us. Prepare your feet with the readiness to deliver the gospel of peace, wherever they take you in this world. I am the Prince of Peace. Share my message with all you meet.

You do not fight against flesh and blood, but against the powers of evil in this dark world. Be ready to stand firm against the opposition. Hold your ground and know your purpose. I will use you in mighty ways. Do not be afraid. I am with you always, every step of the way. I do not leave you alone. I do not send you to the wolves, but they will find you.

You are my daughter, the one I love dearly. Remember, it is I you serve, and no one else. I have planted your feet in my firm foundation. I have rebuilt you to my glory, and you shine like the sun for me. Do not let your light be distinguished at the first sign of resistance. You are ready because you have been prepared by me. I have trained you in righteousness for my name’s sake. You have been blessed to be a blessing. Now go and bless those who curse you for my sake.

I have kept you safe, and protected you during your training. Now I am sending you into battle. Do not be afraid, you do not go alone; I am with you. You have been armored by me. I give you the confidence you need. I am your Rock and your Fortress. Seek me for your strength and your refuge. Do not fear the days ahead. The reward will outweigh the sacrifice. Surely, my goodness and my mercy will follow you all the days of your life.

Go into the wind, and let my Spirit lead you to springs of living water along the way. Drink deeply, and you will not thirst. I am the living bread from heaven. Consume me, and you will never be hungry. My plans are to prosper you, not to harm you. Stay close to me, and I will stay close to you, my love.

Believe It or Not

Jan10

My child, I have not forgotten you. You have not been seeking me, but I have been seeking you. What keeps you from me? Is is work, hobbies, pleasure, or sin? Do you struggle with something that you are afraid to bring before me? I know your pleasures and your pain. I rejoice with you when you rejoice. I bear your burdens when they are too heavy for you to bear yourself.

Come to me. Run to me. My arms are wide open waiting for you. I am here to help you through your present difficulties. You do not have to travel down this road alone. I am with you always. I will comfort you and give you rest. When you cannot go on, I will carry you.

Let my Spirit refresh you and my words renew your soul. You are the child I delight in. You are the one I came to save. You are no longer deserted and desolate. You are a child of the King. Rejoice in your eternal inheritance. I have adopted you as my child and clothed you in my righteousness.

I will protect you and prosper you. I will give you whatever you need. Do not be burdened by your momentary troubles. I will take care of you. I love you more than you will ever understand. Would you take time to meet with me daily? Your burdens will not overwhelm you when you feel me by your side. To feel my presence, you must know me better. You know I am with you, but do you believe it? Know me by spending time with me. Listen to my voice and read my word. As you come to know me better, you will feel my presence and you will believe.

My Spirit I have given you. I live in you. Fear not, I am with you always. Believe it, or not.

Patience and Trust

Nov27

“Patience and Trust” These are the words I hear you saying to me today, because I don’t see you at work in the work you have given me to do. I know it’s early in the process. I know I have to be patient. I know I have to trust in you. I know you have great plans. I know you called me to carry out your work for a reason. But I feel like I am all alone in the step I am on right now. Lord, are you working behind the scenes? Are you in this with me?

My dear child, I have never left your side. I am at work in this work I have given you to do. You do need to trust me. I have great plans. Your patience is required also. You know I am with you; I will never leave you. If you feel alone, it’s because you are not seeking me often enough. You may speak to me anytime. I will listen. I will calm your fears. I will guide your steps. I will comfort you and give you my peace. I will strengthen you and uphold you. I will instruct you in my ways. I love you, my precious one. I do not give you work to do and then abandon you. I have been with you all this time.

Lord, help me trust you completely. Give me the patience I need for this process. I am so small and this work is so big. Nothing I do will be effective without your blessing. Lord, please bless the work I am doing, and show me the next steps on the path you would have me travel. I have never traveled this path before; I do not know the way. Lord, give me perseverance. I am in need of daily energy for this task. Help me to remember to seek you for every step, and not trudge ahead on my own. You have a plan and it is good. I want to carry out your will in your way, not mine. Lord, give me patience for those who resist me. Let me always be an example of your truth and goodness.

Sweet daughter of mine, I will give you everything you need to accomplish my work. Hold fast to me and I will hold fast to you. You know me, and you know that you can trust me. I will do what I promised. I am true to my word. I give you the will to persevere. Press forward and do not look back. Keep the momentum and the faith. Very soon, you will begin to see the fruits of your labor. I intend to bless you one-hundred fold. You are blessed to be a blessing. Now go and bless those who do not know me. Bless those who have lost their way. Bless those who persecute you. Bless those who stand in your way. Bless those who have become stagnant in their faith. Stir up my people to action and obedience. I have called you for this task. You are the one I have chosen. Now go and move that mountain. My power lies within you.

Thank you, Lord. I love you, and I trust you with my life. I will muster up some patience. I will wait for you, O Lord. My soul waits, and in your word I put my hope.
