Problems & Challenges

My child, focus on Me and not the problem. I hold the answers to all your problems and challenges. You just need to come to Me. I alone know the future. I alone see the outcome. Focus on Me and allow Me to work this out. Have faith in Me and believe Me. Your life will be much more peaceful if you come to Me instead of fretting over every problem and challenge that comes your way.

Matthew 11;28     Psalm 37:8

Nourishment for your soul

I was reading Psalm 103 this morning and it struck me how nourishing the word of God is to my soul. Just as our body needs an occasional cleanse from all the sugars, additives and preservatives in the foods we eat, so our soul could use a ‘detox’ from media, T.V., or whatever else is poisoning our souls. Take time and refresh yourself in the word of God. Psalm 103 is a great place to start. Feed on God’s word. Rest in His love. He will bring healing and nourishment to your entire being.

It’s Why You’re Here

My child, when you minister to the needy, you minister to Me. When you serve the poor, you are serving Me. When you love the unlovely, you are loving Me. It’s no accident these people are in your life. It’s for your benefit as well as theirs. Minister freely. Serve unselfishly. Love unconditionally. It’s why you’re here.

Matthew 25:35-40

You Are Royalty

My child, I am rich in mercy and I love you with great and ever-lasting love. Even when you were steeped in sin, I pulled you out of that pit of destruction and made you alive with Me. I raised you up and seated you in the heavenly places. You are Mine and are of My household. Walk therefore in a manner worthy of your calling. You are royalty. But walk in humility and gentleness, with patience and show tolerance for one another in love. As I was kind and patient with you, you also be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, just as I have forgiven you.

Ephesians 2

Ephesians 4: 1&2 & 32

Abandon Yourself Completely

My child, come deeper with Me. Abandon yourself completely and utterly without any reservations. Give Me your whole heart and your entire being. Don’t hold anything back from Me. Trust Me with your soul, your mind, your body and your heart. You have nothing to fear and everything to gain. Release everything into My care today. My love for you is endless and I have a purpose and plan for you. I can only bring that about as you completely abandon yourself to Me.

Isaiah 30:18  Ephesians 2:10

I will give you rest

My child, let today be a day of rejoicing. Shout joyfully to the rock of your salvation. Come before Me with thanksgiving, for I am God and King above all gods. In My hand are the depths of the earth and the peaks of the mountains are Mine. I made everything and everything is in My hands. Come and worship. Come and hear My voice. Do not let your heart be hardened. Come and I will restore you. I will give you rest.

Psalm 95

My Peace

My child, there will always be times of strife and hardship in this world, but you can experience My peace. You possess the peace that surpasses understanding because you possess Me. I am Peace. When you see and experience what seems like out of control situations, come to Me. I alone bring the peace you are searching for. Never look to the world for answers. The world will never be able to satisfy your soul. I alone can and will supply all your needs according to My riches in glory.

Philippians 4:7 & 19

Delight Yourself

My child, how blessed are you when you delight yourself in Me. How victorious you are when you live your life in faith and believe Me. How happy you are when you are thankful in every circumstance. How peaceful you are when you choose to trust Me instead of fretting about situations you have no control over. Delight yourself in Me and I will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to Me, trust also in Me, and I will do it.

Psalm 37: 4&5

Everlasting Love

My child, how much do you love your loved ones and want the best for them? Well multiply that by a million times and you would still fall short of how much I love and care for you. I want My very best for you. I have an awesome life for you. You just need to trust Me and follow Me with your whole heart. I will lead you as you seek Me. Never doubt My love and don’t be afraid of the future. You are in My hands. No matter how many times you fall I still love you with an everlasting love. And I always will.

Your Father in heaven who’s love you can count on.

Psalm 139: 1-18

Kingdom Living

My child, I have set you apart. You belong to Me. Avoid getting caught up in all the world has to offer. You are a soldier in My Kingdom. Don’t entangle yourself in the affairs of everyday life. You are not to go after the worldly but the heavenly prize. Start thinking more about Kingdom living and less about earthly surviving. Start focusing on Me and seeking My face and stop trying to please people who don’t care about your soul. Consider yourself dead to sin and alive to Me.

2 Timothy 2: 4&5  Romans 6:11
