Things to Notice

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

I give you so many beautiful things to notice and ponder. When you slow your roll and are able to truly stop and take something from the view in, I gift you with a shift in perspective. Stop and smell the roses or lilacs. Truly slow down enough to enjoy and appreciate what you taste and see, then give a nod of acknowledgement thankfully to Me. Be struck in awe by My Presence as I meet you in your surroundings today. I love you and am ever-so-near.

Aim To Move On

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

Even on gray days, life can be wonderful. It might take a little effort to shift your attitude from “woe is me” to “Hey! There’s opportunity for Good things to happen today!” Open yourself to possibility. Spend a little time dreaming about or imagining happy experiences. Just the thought of them alone can lift your spirit. Pause and be grateful for something. You don’t have to fret about days-gone-by. Aim to move on and more forward. I am driving the plan, and there are always Good things in store. Believe Me.

Love Yourself, Too

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

Today is supposed to be about expressing love to others. I want to emphasize that it’s okay and essential to love yourself, too. Your body has been working well for you, so be kind to it today and deflect any tendency to criticize any part of yourself. Replace that habit with one of gratitude for all that you are still able to do in life. Embrace your age, and learn to listen and attend to your body and spirit just as much as you pay attention to others. Life is a gift encased in this “self”, so the more you treasure and nurture it, the more freely you can share love well with others.

My Measuring Stick is Different

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

There is time enough for everything – even self-care. The last thing I intend is for you to feel discouraged or defeated. Carve out alone time and quiet time today to meet with Me for restoration. Let Me remind you of your likeability and how much you are loved and valued, even if others don’t express appreciation for all that you do. You are living for Me, and My measuring stick is different than the world’s is. Find your purpose and meaning by trusting Me and how I use your life for Good things. You are needed and loved by Me, and that is what matters the most.

When Life Feels Hectic

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

Pushing the pause button to spend time with Me is the very best thing you can do when life feels worrisome or hectic. Truly, stop everything and talk to Me. Listen for My loving, reassuring voice reminding you, “I’ve got this”. Everything is not all up to you alone. I am here, and I have your destiny capably in My hands. Breathe a sigh of gratitude and relief, knowing you can trust Me and rely on Me for help.

Accept My Unconditional Love with Gratitude

Linger with Me a while until you sense My all-encompassing love for you. Let all anxiety be dispelled in this moment. I AM. I am HERE. I am HELPING. I ACCEPT YOU FULLY. Move on from past mistakes and regrets, accepting My unconditional love with gratitude. This is true living. You are Mine, and my love for you endures through everything.

Quiet the Chatter Inside Your Head

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

You can live calmly and grounded. It takes conscious effort, though, to push aside distractions and quiet the chatter inside your head. So much of what spins in there is just imagined scenarios that never come into fruition. Ground yourself in the here and now. Stop, take a breath, and look around you – observing color or sounds in this present moment. Appreciate the gift of time slowing down when you hone in on My Presence with you right here, right now. Be at ease as you trust in My Goodness. I am looking out for you, always.

Unnecessary Anxiety

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

You’ve lived a life filled with constant concerns, some of which are real and valid. Other times they cause you unnecessary panic and anxiety, with you running at a hectic and frantic pace. I am leading you into a new era! There is a time for everything, and now is the time for peace within. Learn the art of slowing. Engage with each moment presented to you, training yourself in the discipline of attending to one thing at a time.  Take notice of all that I am doing in, through, and around you as you sit back in a wondrous stance absorbing the marvelous view. All is well when you really stop to think about it. Stop with all the relentless striving and take stock in the goodness and calming I am offering to replenish your soul. I call you when you are needed, but I also give you rest. Simply be thankful.

Endurance and Expansiveness

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

I have called you by name. It is My job to take care of the others that you are worried about, not all yours. Remember that My plans are for your welfare, not dismay. For now, endurance and expansiveness are words for you to concentrate on. You have been gifted with strength and stamina, which will help when it comes time to move forward. Expand your view and open yourself to possibility. When courage and bravery are needed to take steps in a new direction, you will know. Don’t forget that I love you, and I don’t want or expect everything to be so hard for you all the time. Joy will return. There is time enough for everything, though, so just concentrate on appreciating the day before 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.
