Goodness

Perfection is a Misguided Aim

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

You are on the brink of falling into the old trap of beating yourself up inside your head. Today, choose life instead. Choose to love your flaws and imperfections, putting balance back into perspective as you see how much your Goodness outshines the rest. I love and behold you just as you are, with both sides included. Seeking perfection and expecting that of yourself is a misguided aim. Beloved, seek Me and My unconditional adoration of you as My creation. Certainly I want you to do your best, putting kindness, mindfulness, and intentionality behind all your actions, but I don’t want or expect perfection. Mistakes happen. Brush away the dark thoughts and find joy in the with-God life I intend for you.

Anticipating Good Things to Come

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

You get it. You know how having a grateful mind leads to a more joyful spirit. I want your happiness and to see you living a life not only of peace, but also filled with hope – anticipating good things to come. Picture it! Take whatever vision I lay on your heart or imagination and try approaching life as if it is a given that these good things are going to occur. Aim your sights on My powerful perspective. Nothing I desire for you is too small or too big to reach for and attain. Nothing.

Today is no ordinary day. I have opportunities built in for you to explore and be adventurous with. Look with eyes that see. Behold the Good things I am doing in your life and be grateful for them. You are called to a life of joy, built on a foundation of trust in Me. I don’t want you agonizing over things that are not your concern. Go out and explore all I have waiting for you, receptive to positive and encouraging experiences ahead.

How to Spend Your Time

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

Bask in the intimacy of our relationship today. Take joy and comfort in knowing I see you as you sleep, arise, and in your every move. Talk with Me often in your head, acknowledging things you notice, questions you face, and decisions you must make. I can help you choose how to spend your time and what to focus on wisely. Be inspired to do more knowing I place interests, goals, and perspective all as part of My great plan for you. Nothing you do or say goes unnoticed by Me. I don’t criticize your every move, either. I want you to see Me as your great encourager, motioning you to places, tasks, and conversations full of Goodness and meaning. I am powerfully present in it all. Know that you are loved first, then walk into your day engulfed in the grace of this truth.

Reach for My Hand to Steady You

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

Hear Me: I am with you, never leaving your side. I am not distant. Stop all this striving on your own and reach for My hand to steady you. I will guide you away from the cliff’s edges. You don’t have to be afraid of the heights. Let’s stand and together enjoy the marvelous view instead of worrying about your footing. Don’t forget to look up now and then on your walk, and take notice of the good things along the way instead of always calculating the distance or amount of difficulty you imagine it will take. Even if a calamity or stress tries to threaten your wellbeing, all is actually well.

Take Notice

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

I am the Great Creator. I am building and designing grand plans for you and for the world. There are good things happening all around. Take notice of the good. Take notice of the pain, and show compassion. Teach others to show compassion and to always lean on Me in faith and trust. An investment of belief in My good plans for you is always fruitful. Aim high. Be open to what I have in store for you, which is larger than you can even imagine.

Attentive to Needs Beyond Your Own

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

Today I ask you to concentrate on doing good things for others. It takes effort to listen well, being focused and attentive to needs beyond your own. If you take one interaction at a time, by the end of the day you will be able to see that what was accomplished was enough. Take periods of rest, too. It’s okay to not overextend yourself. I am teaching you dependence upon Me, and learning to pace yourself is part of that education. I desire for you to live in peace, and not to be taking on too much that will overwhelm you. All is and can be well.

Purpose in Appreciation

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

Taste and see the Goodness I place all around you! Get out and enjoy the fresh air, soaking in the sights and sounds I put near to enthrall you. There is purpose even in the simple act of appreciation. I want you to notice things like beauty, smell, and taste. Open your eyes to all I place before you today. Feel My love for you in the giving and receiving of these gifts. Point it out to others. Too often, people pass quickly by spectacular things, – so hurried and preoccupied with non-edifying distractions. Come to Me to show off the bouquet of delights you pick out from My offerings, allowing Me to share joy with you as we experience and notice things together. See how this eases your soul.

Hopeful Plans For You

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

Whenever a new year arises, people tend to reflect on where they’ve been and possibilities for where they are going. Be cautious about getting caught up in old ruts where your tires spin in the mud of regret. Also watch out for fear-based projections about what is around the corner,  anticipating that things won’t turn out as you would like or will be too hard to manage. Neither of these things are true. I am a loving God with hopeful plans in store for you. I’ll carry you through hard times and open doors for Good things to arrive in your life and in the lives of those you care about. Choose to concentrate on living fully present in today, and hand Me your past and future. This is how you build new habits of peace of mind.

I Am Your Protector & Healer

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

Oh, my anxious one! How I long to scoop you up into My arms like a little lamb, shaking in the dark and cold world. I am your protector and healer. The Light of day is coming soon and will shed new perspective for you. You can trust Me and My plans for Good things to come. I will not let you down. In fact, I’ll keep holding you tightly until you feel confident and reassure again. Stay with Me as long as it takes to settle you down before stepping into the day. I will be with you wherever you go, and continue carrying you as long as you need Me to.
