Life: enriched and full. Bask in the Goodness I have surrounded you with. It is neither earned, nor doomed to be withdrawn or leave you empty-handed. The phrase “the Lord gives and the Lord takes away” mistakenly leaves many fearful that I am a mean God who enjoys teasing with dangling carrots, then pulls the rug out from under you. I am nothing like that! Yes, there are, and have been, and will be difficult times, – but your pain, grief, or suffering is never orchestrated by Me to make you learn a cruel lesson. No! My design is always for the GOOD. When bad things happen, I walk with you and find ways to lift you back up. I never abandon you. Nor do I want you to not enjoy an easier life, or one blessed with Good things. I delight in giving you joy and comfort. All I ask is that when you are in a balanced state with surplus, share the wealth. Be generous – of time, talent, and resources. Take notice of when I tug your heartstrings, nudging you to give or extend yourself in some way. Respond to My call. What you have been given is meant for the greater Good of all.

I Remain
I have been calling to you, – singing to you! Sometimes you hear Me so clearly, and other times I am distant background music covered by the noise and busy-ness going on in your head. I don’t fault you for that. It’s human nature to be so preoccupied that you become unaware of Me, and distant from My reassuring voice. Still, I remain. Remain faithful, holy, omnipotent. PRESENT. Loving. Patient. I wait for you, yearning to communicate as One.
Listen for My still, small voice.
You are important to me! Yes, you. I need you in this world to be My hands and feet. I need you to be the voice of tenderness and compassion. I need you to reason with the unreasonable, pardon the unpardonable, and love the unlovable. I also sing to you a love song, greater than any you have ever known or heard. Bring Me your darkest concerns, your ugliest thoughts – allow Me to shed light on them and wash you clean. Let Me bathe you in Grace. Stop striving so hard on your own. You are not alone in this world. Stop, and listen for My song to you. I have never left your side.
Here for You
True contentment lies in your relationship with Me. There is no such thing as spending too much time with Me. Yes, you must go about your day, but I can accompany you in your every activity and converse with you all the while. Bring Me with you conscientiously! Let Me be a “tag along”, if you will. I can also be present to pluck you out of the mire of things that cause you tension, annoyance, and worry. Like a hidden but handy life-preserver, reach for Me when the waters around you seem too deep. Find comfort in the way I sustain your head above water. Nothing will be too much for you to handle when you learn to rely on My ever-saving Presence. I am here for you, – all day.
Speak of Me
It is staggering how many people hunger for a relationship with Me but have no idea where to begin. I am not trying to avoid people; I am easy to find because I am always around and within each of you. You already know it, so I ask you to teach others. Don’t doubt your capacity to form the words; I’ll hand them to you. You don’t have to be scared to admit you know Me. Tell them to turn to Me in their daily challenges and needs. Talk about the beauty of how easily they will find Me in their midst, easing their pain and filling their void when they opt to turn their gaze to Me. Spread the Good News! Remind yourself of it, too. As you speak about Me more frequently and freely, you will find a new way of life unfolding: a glory-filled life in clearer and deeper awareness of My constant Presence and My Goodness. This inherently washes through you and will spill out onto others. They will seek you out in their thirst for Holy Relationship with Me. I’ll plant the opportunities. Show them how to look for and find Me, the Living Water. There is plenty in the well for all to thrive on.
Inspiration
I am lighting the way: glimpses along the path give you insights and inspiration. You need not worry about so much; I have a plan in store for you that is brilliantly designed and suited just for you. Keep your eyes open to possibility! Take a chance on My initiatives that I instill in you. I AM the Divine Inspirer! And you are one of the results of My amazing creation. Together let’s celebrate the possibility alive and renewed in and around you today. “If you seek Me, you will find Me”, – already in your midst.
Natural Self
There is power in connection and re-connection. Power to heal, power to anoint. Power to move forward and make new things happen. Keep listening, reaching out to those in need of My hand at work in renewed relationships. See how I make all things new. Notice how involved I am as you reach out to others. I have called all to new life in Me. Simply speak the truth about that which you already know. Your beauty comes forth when you do that – eloquent and sincere. I designed you to be this authentic self, without pretenses around others. Your humor, your sensitivity, your awareness of others needs and their desire for acknowledgement makes you a wondrous spiritual tool in My kingdom. Do not doubt your greatness or your capacity, and do not fear it. Let My Light shine BOLDLY in you today, without hesitation or concerns for “what others are thinking”. Be your natural self, and trust that this is Good.
