I Will See It Through

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

I have things all laid out. Come to Me and you’ll find rest. I have begun a good work using you and will see it through to completion. I promise that you will have enough energy and stamina to get it all done; just open your eyes to the beauty around you any time you start feeling anxious. I am here. I will guide your steps and your words. May bitterness and anxiety fall away as you remember that you have holy hands and feet, and Goodness will flow from your efforts.

What I Reveal in the Quiet

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

My love is deep, wide, strong…and quiet. I whisper to you: I am so pleased with you! Let Me give you this day of rest. Take advantage of it as you will. When you start to get anxious about the pressures of the world, choose to calm yourself with My help. What I reveal to you in the quietness is an ability to calm down the racing thoughts and minimize the To-Do lists. Allow Me to handle them today. Rest, play, connect with others, rejuvenate. I am with you and all those you love. Take it easy.

Put Aside Your Anger

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

Relax. Be mindful of the fact that you influence the atmosphere around you. Put aside your anger – it isn’t doing you any good. You can be quiet. I know you can do it. Shift your gaze and your focus onto enjoying the landscape. It is yours to take in and it will speak to you. I will speak words of gentleness and care to you when you take the time to do so.

Everything Doesn’t Have To Be Hard

Soak in the Light today. Get outdoors and breathe in My glorious fresh air. Enjoy the opportunity to move about without worry or undue stress. You know “hard”. You’ve been through a lot. Everything doesn’t have to be hard, though. Be rejuvenated by taking a breath and knowing I am with you, recovering Good out of all you’ve endured and bringing you to a new day.

Not Hectic All the Time

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

Pay attention to your body today. Notice the signals for when it needs a break or wants you to cut yourself some slack. Rest is just as important as exercise, good nutrition, and hydration. Everything in checks and balances. Take time to move, but also carve out time for slowing and mindfulness. You can have both in your routine, you know. Ask for My help when life feels hard or even before it becomes overwhelming. It doesn’t have to feel hectic all the time.

A Somehow God

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

Listen to Me and trust that I am the “somehow” God in your life that you need. Somehow, you turn a corner and find that peace that outweighs the anxiety and sadness. Somehow, you get the strength to handle that difficult situation. Somehow, a genuine belly laugh breaks through the tears and disappointment. Somehow, people come through and circumstances change. Life moves on. Trust Me to provide all the somehows you will need. Take a breath of encouragement, succumbing to My gentle reassurance that you will get through all of this.

It’s OK to be Strong

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

Offer Grace to others when they annoy or offend you. Many are just reacting out of their own insecurities. You can stop fretting about how you come across. You are YOU: bold, and with sound opinions. It’s OK to be strong. People may also despise you because of your confidence, but again, that’s likely because of their own insecurity. You don’t have to be subdued just to make others more comfortable.  Don’t stop being you or thinking you have to stifle your voice. Be the person I made you to be. When I call you to speak, speak boldly. When I nudge you to listen, listen attentively. As you practice self-acceptance, you also become more accepting of others. Ask for pardon when you offend or when you’ve insisted on being “right” instead of being open to hearing other’s point of view. Acknowledge differences, offering dignity and respect at your core. That’s how My love and purpose is manifested in the world.

Soul-Filling Purpose

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

Use today as a true day of rest, opting for activities that are not work-related. I want your creative self to be attended to well, fueling your Spirit in ways that energize you. The rest of the work will get done; you can trust Me with that. I design each week to carve out a day like this for soul-filling purposes. Listen to My call, drawing you into awareness of your artistic side. Come to Me; meet Me in the colors and spaces beckoning you in today. You won’t regret it!

Say Yes

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

I still have work for you to do, but that doesn’t have to sound or feel intimidating. My works are easy and will come naturally to you because you are designed by Me. You know what it feels like to be capable and competent based on skills you’ve honed or experiences you’ve been through in the past. Be open, therefore, to whatever I lay before you. When you are presented with something new, don’t show away or retreat out of self-doubt. Instead, say yes – even with shaky hands – because you know how to cling to My grip. Strap in for the ride ahead, picturing yourself joyfully experiencing sights unseen with Me, your reliable copilot, at your side.

Gentle Reassurance

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

Cozy up to Me, like a small child who wants a story read before bedtime. Come close, with child-like hunger and trust for special time together. I am safe, comforting, and trustworthy. I recognize your vulnerable side that just needs to be held a while. When no one else “gets” that or sees you or provides the validation you desire, you can count on Me to be ever-present and aware of all your intricate needs. Come to My open arms for gentle reassurance. I’ve got you, My child; you needn’t be afraid.
