LISTENING

Listen with an Intent to Understand

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

Be curious about all I have in store for you today. Instead of making judgements about those you encounter, listen with an intent to better understand and appreciate what they are sharing with you. Throw any hint of judgementalism to the wayside, including your own self-criticism inside your head. Allow yourself to be more at ease by accepting your own contribution as being worthy of attention and being enough for what is needed in the moment. All is well. You can trust that My hand is active in and all around your life.

The Ideas Will Come

Be patient; the ideas will come. I love to feed your thoughts with new things – GOOD things. I Am the Great Creator, designing and weaving images and messages to inspire all around…just listen for them. When it is the right time, I will provide you with all you need to concentrate on and do. Trust Me all the while, even in the waiting, for I am trustworthy and will come through.

Move at a Relaxed Pace

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

I am a God of leisure, just as I am a God of work. Take time to notice things around you as you move at a relaxed pace. When you are too busy and hurried, you may miss all the tender gifts I have placed within your sight and reach. Work on silencing your thoughts and listening with all of your senses from time to time. Why do you push yourself so hard? Find the balance I intended for your life and nourish your soul.

Build Calmness Into Your Day

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

You don’t have to be so rushed. There are ways to build calmness into your day, and into your head and heart. Choose to sit still, closing your eyes if you can, and concentrate on slow, deep breathing. Notice the Light pouring into your eyes, even through closed lids. Repel thoughts of tasks waiting to be done, deflecting them out of your mind intentionally as you seek My calming Presence. Soak it in. Repeat these mantras until My truth settles in: All is well. I am yours. Hear My voice.

Listen to the Stillness

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

It is so important, yet rare, that you take the time for quieting. Listen to the stillness of this moment. Absorb it, opening your mind to this simplicity, – then you can hear My great voice. Today, be freed just to listen with no expectations placed on you. I call you to truly rest and bask in the quiet. You don’t have to always be productive in order to be loved by Me. Practice the art of meditation today. Be still and know that I am God. Know Me. Know I Am. Just be still.

Show a Smile of Reassurance

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

Go about your day, attending capably and lovingly to others I place in your path. I ask you to listen, reassure, teach, and guide them. I’ll equip you for this task, so just listen for My nudging. I will gift you with My patience and grace. Show a smile of reassurance on your face. Allow My Light to shine within and all around you this way, soothing frazzled ends. You will understand what it means to live with peace flowing like a river as you become a river guide in this flow of everlasting love.

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.

The Journey May Take Awhile

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

Try brushing up on your attentiveness skills. Today, listen and watch for the myriad of opportunities I lay before you. No day goes without purpose when you place your life in My capable hands. I may call you to speak, listen, observe, or receive. Try not to force things to occur according to your own agenda, or to push for complete outcomes. Sometimes the journey I have you on may take awhile. The joy is in the serving and in giving as much as in receiving.

When Others Disappoint or Irritate You

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

You can treat others kindly, giving them respect and dignity even when they disappoint or irritate you. Take a deep breath before choosing your words in response to those you find personally challenging. Then, acknowledge what they have to say, even if you disagree. Do this first, and try to listen without judging. Ask Me for help when being kind and respectful is hard for you. Bring the offense you’ve experienced to Me and ask for My help to be understanding in response. You don’t have to hide your difficult emotions from Me. I get it. Let Me validate you when others cannot out of pride or ego. I will help you with perspective and with what to say in response. Remember, love always wins out in the end. Choose loving-kindness over being “right”.

Use Your Positive Energy to Bring Goodness

Use that positive energy you have today to bring about My Goodness. Share the wealth you possess both physically and spiritually. Be generous in giving enthusiasm and attentiveness, using good listening skills with others. You will spread My hope and encouragement in the way you validate their experiences, whether they are struggling or taking steps toward wellbeing. Remember, you are all in this world together where I am by everyone’s side giving help and understanding, plus offering hope and true healing. Inspire others by showing your true faith in Goodness rising above all else.
