The Road Feels Hard

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

I know you wrestle with your feelings around accomplishments and disappointments, dealing with timing when others cannot join you in what you envision. I am not disappointed in you. I long to cradle you in My arms. I know the road feels hard and is long sometimes, but I need you to know I am watching over you in low times. I see your burdens. Others have burdens, too, and they take them out on you sometimes. It’s true. But try to lift them up – yours and theirs. It will help. I am not finished with you and it hasn’t gotten to the good part yet. Look for little surprises that provide you with joy, fun, and laughter. These will get you by.

Bring Me Your Complaints

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

Come to Me with all your complaints. Present them to Me with this twist: try to not judge yourself harshly for feeling negative or objectionable from time to time. I appreciate ALL of you, including your grievances against others and life’s hardships or annoyances. I just don’t want you hovering or lingering in a place of anger and negativity for long. If you find yourself planning how to retaliate, it’s definitely time to hand the situation over to Me instead. Give Me the keys so I can control the response to what has locked you up. Let Me free you from whatever annoys and angers you so that you can experience the true peace I offer.

That Place of Familiarity

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

We are not strangers. I am intimately familiar with you, and I know your every thought, wish, and ache. You know Me, too. Deep inside, you know to trust Me and you strive to be more like Me. Talk to Me from that place of deep familiarity today. Bring Me into your decisions, actions, and conversations. Look at Me when things get resolved or when they turn out well. Acknowledge that I am a part of all Good things. Trust Me even with the tensions, hurts, and disappointments, for I am with you as you experience them. I am that familiar God who truly cares and heals.

Mosaic of Repair

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

Nothing goes to waste with Me. I take all of your experiences, hurts, and disappointments and piece every bit of them together into something new that will bring Goodness back into the world. Each sliver and fragment are put to use. You may be better able to relate well to others who are hurting or disappointed now because of what you’ve been through. Others can be more present and uniquely available to you when you face challenges or hard times because of their own past. Lean into Me with trust and find the spectacular Light of Goodness that bends through My reworked mosaic of repair.

Peace When a Storm is Coming

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

O My precious child, I see when your emotions get so stirred up. You don’t have to hide them from Me. I see behind the mask you present to others telling them you are okay and everything is fine, while keeping your disappointment, fears, worries, and discouragement to yourself. I want the honest truth in all of your vulnerability so that I can provide the reassurance you’ll need to get through your todays and tomorrows. Knowing Me doesn’t mean no more troubles will come, but it does mean that all things will be manageable. You don’t have to second-guess how you’ll make it through; just rely upon Me more and you’ll find that peace is available even when it feels like a storm is coming.

Release the Pressure to Fix It

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

I know your innate truth and worth. Deep inside you are the epitome of compassion. It’s because you care so deeply about others that you also get so worked up at times. Let’s work on channeling this passion for helping others with their wellbeing into more constructive focus. You don’t have to be working harder than them. Work on recognizing when you are doing so, trying to control or channel other’s decision-making. Release those who are simply unable or not ready to make better choices on their own. I know how disappointing this is for you to watch, and how you agonize over others poor life management, but hand your disappointment and your wishes for them over to Me. Trust Me to work on it while you take a break to recuperate. You can trust My loving oversight of all things, releasing the pressure to fix it yourself.

When others let you down, I am still there for you. In fact, I am all you really need. My assistance will be substantial. Lean on Me, your reliable help and trustworthy friend. Talk to Me openly about your frustrations and disappointment, then prepare yourself to move on, releasing that negativity and breathing in peace. Acceptance will help. Those choices will make the day go so much easier.

I’m Glad You Showed Up

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

It’s been a while since you’ve listened for My voice, but that’s okay. I’m just glad you showed up today with interest in what I have to say. My message for you is simple: I love you fully and completely, exactly as you are without any disclaimers over things you think disappoint Me. Start fresh today with that truth. “Tabula Rosa” – a blank slate without any dings on your record. Walk with a lighter step and brighter affect knowing you can be at peace with all things reconciled until Me. It’s easier to live joyfully when you embrace this truth.

When Others Disappoint or Irritate You

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

You can treat others kindly, giving them respect and dignity even when they disappoint or irritate you. Take a deep breath before choosing your words in response to those you find personally challenging. Then, acknowledge what they have to say, even if you disagree. Do this first, and try to listen without judging. Ask Me for help when being kind and respectful is hard for you. Bring the offense you’ve experienced to Me and ask for My help to be understanding in response. You don’t have to hide your difficult emotions from Me. I get it. Let Me validate you when others cannot out of pride or ego. I will help you with perspective and with what to say in response. Remember, love always wins out in the end. Choose loving-kindness over being “right”.

When Others Let You Down

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

When others let you down or don’t give efforts to share the load the way you’d like, turn to Me. Ask for My help with shrugging off the offense. Consider that I will be your partner in getting things done, even if others aren’t helping the way you’d prefer. I can make any load more bearable. I may even introduce a new helper to involve. Release your anger and criticism, and open yourself to My change in plans. I love you and will always be there for you, reliably helping even when others disappoint.
