Stop Pretense of ‘Having It All Together’

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

You are perfectly imperfect, and that’s exactly how I designed you. I want you to not only accept this truth, but to embrace and celebrate it with confidence and joy! Stop worrying about upholding pretenses of ‘having it all together’, ‘being on top of things,’ or being the one who’s ‘got it goin’ on’. Just walk humbly -yet confidently!- in the shoes I provide you with for today. No more, no less. You can trust that I like and love you just the way you are.

What You Are Intended to Handle

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

Peace is within your grasp. I am always within reach with My hand out, offering you a safe place to come to. Take advantage of this today. Practice being dependent on Me instead of self-reliance, and experience the calm state you can live in when you do so. Entrust Me with all the rest of your affairs as you address only what is right in front of you. I dole out exactly what you are intended to handle in the moment. You don’t have to take on more than your share of the load.

Would You Believe Me?

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

What if I were to tell you, “All is well”. Would you believe Me? What if I said, “I’m taking care of everything.” Would you trust Me? Why do you live in such doubt and fear, panicking that everything is about to fall apart just around the corner? I tell you sternly and lovingly, stop your thoughts from going into panic and planning mode. I know it is uncomfortable having to blindly trust Me on all matters, but I do have a plan and a destination for you today, tomorrow and into the future. Watch and wait with quiet trust and peaceful anticipation. I’ve always come through, carrying you through hard times. Do not fear change if that is what is needed. All things will come to Light when they are due.

When You Feel Discouraged

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

It’s okay to not be happy all the time. On those days when you feel sad or discouraged, treat yourself extra gently, – just as I would. Attend to your needs like you would a sick child: encouraging rest, offering something cool to drink, tenderly stroking their head and praying for them to get better. Lean into hope that things are on the mend and lighter, easier days are ahead. In fact, cling to this hope as your lifeline of truth, because I am here.

Everybody Needs Reassurance Sometimes

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

Everybody needs reassurance sometimes, – even you. When others don’t seem to recognize or notice you, or when they aren’t good at acknowledging your value and worth, come to Me. Return to My loving arms and realize again how truly treasured you are. I created you! You are ever so precious to Me. Not one single piece is a turn-off, or viewed as “less than”. I take you into My arms tenderly, with massive love spilling out of My heart onto you. Run to Me and receive My unconditional, overjoyed love for you. I like seeing you and being with you every single day.

Benefits of Living More Aware of My Love

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

As you choose to live more aware of My Love for you, you’ll discover benefits like being more calm and experiencing resulting peace within. You can feed yourself well today. You may even find yourself better able to make healthy choices, – not over-indulging, but being satisfied with just enough (no more, no less). Discover balance between the tasks before you and good self-care as you pause to reflect on your with-God life. You’ll see that there’s no need to rush around. Pace yourself slowly and wisely, mindful that I am by your side with every step. Walk with Me, calm, holy and beloved.

Focus on Self-Kindness

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

Today is a good day to hole-up and focus on self-kindness. Bundle up with Me, cozied in and staying protected from the elements. You can still focus on self-care while working or attending to home-life because you and I are One. I am with you wherever you go and in whatever you are doing. Take your time. Slowing down to an easier pace will serve you well on this day of attending to better self-care. I call you to stay in close awareness of our tight, comforting relationship. My love for you is real, and we can take delight in togetherness today.

Not In Harm’s Way

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

I know you and I long for your safety and protection. I am not sending you to the wolves and will not allow you to be put in harm’s way. I will be watching for potential danger, taking your hand and guiding you on the right path. You are a grown person, full of competence and the ability to use good judgment. I trust that in you, and have entrusted a set of gifts which are needed in this fractured world. Others look to you for the same comfort and guidance I provide to you. You can handle it, for I give you nothing greater than what I equip you to do. My yoke is easier than you worry about.

Serve For My Good

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

You are My faithful servant. I want you to serve for My Good. My Good is when you touch the lives of others – sometimes in a passing hello, in more attentive conversations, and even in complicated activities. My Good abounds everywhere! Take some of it in for yourself today because I give My Good for YOU, too. I am not a demanding God who only asks you to serve. I don’t ask for your weariness or for you to over-extend yourself. Any day, in fact, you can receive from Me and I don’t consider it selfish for you to do so. My desire is for you to be replenished by My Joyful well.

To Endure the Storm of Today

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

Hear Me whisper your name with a quiet, yet firm, reminder: I am here. Right here, right now, every step of the way. Even in the hard, rocky walk you may face. Put on sturdy shoes and the right jacket to endure the story of today. Let Me buffer you against the wind of challenges. Set your mind on a “can-do” mission, knowing you are partnered fully by Me.
