LISTENING

Truly Listen

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

Be generous with your attention to others today. Really focus on what they are saying and contributing rather than just concentrating on your own rebuttal or personal statements. It is not that I want you to squelch your voice; I’m just asking you to give space for others to talk and for you to truly listen. All people crave to be heard and validated. Once you’ve done that, you will know when it is time to share your own ideas and thoughts. Listen first and listen well, finding joy in the connection that results.

Shut Down the Anxious Thoughts

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

I am here. Truly here. Take a deep breath and shut down the anxious thoughts for a second. Relax your face and jaw and stop the constant pressure of forecasting your day. Everything will come together. Whatever doesn’t get done can wait for another day. I know this, and you can rely on Me to help organize, prioritize or set things aside. Breathe again- allowing My calming balm to ease your tension and remove some of that stress. Take My offering of peace of mind into your regimen, for this gift is available 24/7.

A Sip of Contentment and Reassurance

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

You strive so hard. That busy head has a hard time shutting off or slowing down. Constant planning and busy-ness can be signs of how uncomfortable you are in the waiting and with silence, but you need not be so afraid. I’m inviting you to enter this new year differently. Come, sit often with Me at the well and experience My waters of grace and fulfillment. Take a sip of contentment and reassurance. I have you in the palm of My hands at all times. Sit in silence regularly with Me, truly handing each day over and practicing the art of trusting faith. Soon, you will find yourself actually longing for silence because you’ll understand how much our time together like this helps. Even if you only have a moment, seek My peace-filled Presence in silent communion with Me.

Let Me Inspire You

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

Let Me inspire you. If you linger at My table long enough, you’ll feel the nudges I am trying to send. You will hear, feel, and know when it is time to move vs. when you need to be still. When to reach out and connect vs. when to hole up and recover. How to be the helper vs. when to ask for help. For now, be the encourager I created you to be. This starts by knowing you are enough, just as you are. Love and affirm all the intricate truths and facets of yourself. You are beautiful to Me just as you are, and I have so much still in store for you. You can be excited about that!

Slow and Steady

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

Even on days when you are energized, still try to do just one thing at a time. Multi-tasking may trip you up, lending itself to frenetic behavior and added, undue anxiety. Slow and steady. Use that energy to focus on listening and pausing for clarity from Me. Let Me guide your steps today.

Calming Your Nervousness

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

Some days are quieter than others. Instead of waiting and listening for some miraculous words from Me, I encourage you to be still and practice awareness of My constant Presence. I am near. I am here, always. You can be profoundly reassured by this truth. Let Me ready you for the day, calming your nervousness with a simple “Hush, my love”. You are LOVED and you are MINE, fully and forever. Repeat this message until it is heard deep within, palpable and grasped.

What Am I Supposed To Do?

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

Many people frantically say, “I don’t hear the call! I don’t get it – what am I supposed to do?!” They don’t recognize that My call may simply be to attend to the tasks before you today with willingness and love. When you feel a nudge to call and check in on someone, or to stop what you are doing and really listen to someone interrupting you, or to respond to a small distraction – these may be My plans just as much as some big, idyllic life change. Not all of My calls require remarkable outcomes or noteworthy events. Learn to listen with your heart. As you let compassion and love rule the day, this will resonate in your soul calling you to the true lifestyle I created for you to live.

Concentrate On Our Conversation

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

I have much to say, but you will need ears that can hear Me. Are there obstacles clouding your judgment or distractions causing you to not concentrate on our conversation? Name them, and work to uproot them. Hear Me whispering – I desire so much for us to have constant communication. I want to shower you with the blessing of our relationship. Don’t turn your face away, confusing the silence with thinking I have stopped talking. You are Mine. Tell Me what is on your heart, and find Me listening attentively and compassionately to your every word.

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.

Just Observe and Pay Attention

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

I am hard at work in your life. While it might be hard to see, I actually need you right where you are so I can accomplish what needs to be done in your life. Listen to how I beckon you to just observe and simply take notice of the workings going on around you. I may challenge you to see things differently based on what you observe or hear. Your only task for now is to merely pay attention, listening for My voice interpreting the message you most need to hear.
