Questioning Your Purpose & Value

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

I know you sometimes question your purpose and value. It’s there, though – woven inside your heart by My Spirit, which is living in you. It might be even harder for you to see in yourself, but others recognize and are comforted by you. Today, try trusting that what you contribute is enough. You don’t have to demonstrate exceptional things in order to be valued. What if I told you just sitting there, being present to Me, is enough? Follow My lead on this today, practicing being comfortable in your own skin without “works”. Be My tangible light in the world, brightening the experience of others you encounter. Take joy in this simple kind of loving attentiveness.

Let Me Replenish Your Energy

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

You are bone-tired; I can see that. I also see your willing Spirit calling you to move on, one step at a time. I am with you, shouldering your burdens and assisting with the journey when it feels too tough or exhausting. Close your eyes and rest with Me for a moment. Let Me replenish your energy and refresh your perspective. Learn to trust My constant Companionship and My design for your life. Practice knowing that each day is designed with certain interactions and outcomes beyond your mortal vision. If your aim is to complete My work, you will find peace and satisfaction in knowing and trusting that all is well, and ‘enough’ is truly enough.

You Will Find Me Here

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

Your head is full but with empty direction. How I long to meet you in both your empty and overly anxious places, providing fulfillment and connection in a way that restores and calms you. I am here, seeking your attention and pursuing you with love. If only you would turn your face to Me – how I delight when you choose to do so! Let Me lavish you with total acceptance and deep love. Return to Me and give me your full attention. You will find Me here, waiting patiently all along. I will show you the way to go.

Heal Hurtful Self-Talk

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

Lay those burdens aside. Come to Me in all your fragility, presenting those agonizing thoughts and experiences you keep re-hashing over and over again in your head. Allow Me to warm you from your core, like hands hovering near an open fire. Let the warmth of My reassuring love heal that hurtful self-talk, turning those lies to ashes. You are loved, purely and simply, just as you are. The past mistakes are already forgiven. There’s no benefit to clinging to them anymore.  Let the flame of My healing Spirit take over, renewing you for Good. It’s time to let that past go.

Needed Right Where You Are

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

You are blessed beyond measure, and held up in worth. I value you and have entrusted you with leadership skills and kindness. You are needed right where you are today. It’s okay to acknowledge your dependence on Me, stepping back and handing Me the reins of control. Let Me lead you as you lead others. When I become the ultimate Guide of your choices, routes and plans, you can sit in the passenger seat at ease while I drive. Allow Me to take you to places unknown, with you safely belted in. Enjoy the views along the way, soaking in how much easier life feels when you allow Me to be at the helm. Today is GOOD and all is well. You can trust Me!

Including Hope

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

I still have big plans in store for you and for the world. I know you’ve doubted that lately, feeling complacent, discouraged, and lacking in motivation toward your part in the change. Try viewing this down time as a platform for recuperating and gaining new perspective. Ready yourself for things unknown and full of exciting promise. You can be at peace in the present, but don’t forget about including hope for the future in what you picture ahead. I’ll light the way.

Speak Up

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

You have things to say and good ideas to contribute. I’ve equipped you with the ability to put together thoughts, and what you have to say is important. Don’t be intimidated. Speak up, even if it seems scary or trivial. You matter, and so do your ideas and opinions. Don’t get caught up in second-guessing or rehashing every word you said. Trust Me. You are My shared voice in the world and I need you to voice what’s on your mind or laid upon your heart.

Hush the Critical Voice

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

Be gentle on yourself today. Hush the critical voice, holding tight to the truth that you are loved and likeable. This life is not about being perfect. You are not ‘bad’ when you experience emotional reactions to circumstances or interactions. If you are triggered by something another says or does, step back and ask for My help with perspective. I’ll give you the words to say and the loving way to respond which validates you yet maintains the dignity of others. You are oh-so-valuable to Me. I desire for you to find and keep inner peace. The best way there is to hold My hand hourly.

Don’t Have To Do More To Be Loved

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

You don’t have to ‘do more’ to be loved. Wait here and listen to Me. You are deeply loved, right here and right now. Just breathe. Calm the busy thoughts distracting you and stressing you out. Sit here with Me for as long as it takes to settle down inside. I am here, and I am already fully pleased with you. There’s no need to be worried about impressing Me or others. I’d rather have your attentive companionship than 1,000 things accomplished. It’s okay to pause throughout your day, doing a bit less and just sitting, being appreciative as you connect to Me. Find joy resurfacing as you practice being aware of My Presence and finding balance between work, rest, and play.

Called to Necessary Work

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

There is work to do today. Approach it lightheartedly, trusting that you’ll have the insight, skill, and stamina to do what needs to be done. Think of yourself as a partner on a mission with Me: your aim is to help modify the world into a place of care and compassion. Show it in small ways like messaging anyone who may be hurting and needs an attentive friend. Even your other tasks like organizing and responding to details are important to Me as part of My plan. It’s all necessary work which I have called you to do. View your work with delight and eagerness, knowing and trusting that this is My special assignment designed just for you. I love you and need you, and am with you in it all.
