See the Light Through the Trees

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

You can do it. I know life feels like a lot lately, but it is not more than you can handle. See the light breaking through the trees? You know what that means! I have not abandoned you in a dark forest. No. I will light your path, always. I need you, and I rely on your steadfast faith to show others the way, too. Be true to that, and also gentle with yourself. Take today’s tasks in balance, allowing others to help. Part of what I call you to do is lead others in their own roles. They are growing, too, which is a lovely thing.

Put Aside Your Anger

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.

When you feel depleted, come to Me to receive the TLC you need. I will feed you and nourish your soul. As a gentle God, I will never turn you away.

Present and Attentive to You

When you are sad or anxious, I am fully present. I don’t wait for you to be struggling in order to come near, though. The truth is, I am always fully present and attentive to you. That may be hard to wrap your head around when you are caught up in worries or stress. Be gentler on yourself. I don’t mind attending to your needs. Take a break from sadness, worry, and fear, and rest in My safe arms for a while. Let Me nurture you back to confidence. Everything will work its way out in due time.

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.

No Need To Be Defensive

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

You are tired. I need you to quiet your thoughts and listen to Me. It is time to replenish the well. Doing so will help your anger dissipate, too. There is no need to be on the defensive. Walk with Me. Bring Me into each encounter. Find that My Presence holds the stillness and calming you need. As you use My gentle eyes, you will be more compassionate and forgiving with others, recognizing that behind their aggression is fear and insecurity. I am watching and involved. My Goodness will permeate here.

Trust Me To Be Caring For You

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

Do you trust Me to be caring for you? Because I AM, quietly and gently – sometimes imperceptibly by you, but ever-so-present, always. Close your eyes for a moment and let Me remind you of My great Love for you. I send forgiveness, strength, courage, love, and ways for you to find peace. Go gently into this day with less anxiety as you heighten awareness of My support to you. Pay attention to My call asking you to be My Presence in the world.  You are capable of this; I will equip you with whatever you need. Above, underneath, and through it all is My love and caring for you. You will see and sense that today. Look for it.

I am with you and for you, and I bring Good out of every hard or sad thing you go through.
