The Road Feels Hard

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

I know you wrestle with your feelings around accomplishments and disappointments, dealing with timing when others cannot join you in what you envision. I am not disappointed in you. I long to cradle you in My arms. I know the road feels hard and is long sometimes, but I need you to know I am watching over you in low times. I see your burdens. Others have burdens, too, and they take them out on you sometimes. It’s true. But try to lift them up – yours and theirs. It will help. I am not finished with you and it hasn’t gotten to the good part yet. Look for little surprises that provide you with joy, fun, and laughter. These will get you by.

See the Light Through the Trees

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

You can do it. I know life feels like a lot lately, but it is not more than you can handle. See the light breaking through the trees? You know what that means! I have not abandoned you in a dark forest. No. I will light your path, always. I need you, and I rely on your steadfast faith to show others the way, too. Be true to that, and also gentle with yourself. Take today’s tasks in balance, allowing others to help. Part of what I call you to do is lead others in their own roles. They are growing, too, which is a lovely thing.

Your Impact on Others

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

You have more of an impact on others than you realize. With each day as you age, you gain experiences, wisdom, and insight that I use as value to someone else down the road. Nothing you’ve gone through goes to waste when you allow Me to mold it into something for Good. I don’t want you stifled by false humility. Step forward confidently when I call you to lead. Be bold in what you ask of yourself and others, and see how I open doors of opportunity with fresh nuances of healing. There is plenty up ahead that I need you involved in and that I want you to receive from Me. Persist with My aim for you.

Joy, Not Drudgery

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

Take delight in the tasks before you today,  one at a time. Picture that I’ve laid out a “good” day for you, with things you like to do and can feel a sense of accomplishment in. I desire your joy, not drudgery. I prefer seeing your enthusiasm and optimism after so many years of sadness, anger, anxiety, and hurt. Remember, I am a loving God, continually making things new. I gather goodness out of the dust and ashes. Your encouraging spirit serves you and others well. Take heart, for I am truly with you and the desires of My heart are not different than your own. Don’t let fear or anxious anticipation of worst-case-scenarios grip you. Keep your grasp on My right hand as we move forward.

Reliable Help

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

When others let you down, I am still there for you. In fact, I am all you really need. My assistance will be substantial. Lean on Me, your reliable help and trustworthy friend. Talk to Me openly about your frustrations and disappointment, then prepare yourself to move on, releasing that negativity and breathing in peace. Acceptance will help. Those choices will make the day go so much easier.

Patient Endurance

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

No matter what discomfort you may be experiencing, you can still be calm. Patient endurance is a gift I can help you with. Loving Me and honoring My wishes doesn’t mean life will be pain-free, but I can assure you it will always be manageable. Make that your aim – to feel happy about how well you are managing despite any hardships. Pat yourself on the back for already enduring many challenges. I am pleased with how you embrace life’s difficulties with a positive and hopeful outlook, and I will help you do just that when you are still struggling . I am with you and for you, always.

Frame Your Mindset in Eager Anticipation for Good

Like a breath of fresh air, joy comes in the morning. The dawn brings elements of hope and new perspective. Tell yourself, “Things are looking up!” and frame your mindset in eager anticipation for Good things to come, not fearing the worst-case scenario. Hoping for the best can set your feet and your mind in the right direction on course to actually see it unfold that way. Don’t forget that I am always with and for you, – by your side as we aim for bright horizons.

Freed and Transparent

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

I call you to walk boldly, not sheepishly. I encourage you to write, speak and be observed by others as you walk uprightly. Using all of your wit, humility, and confidence interwoven is My design for you. Be freed from the chaos and shackles of constant self-remorse, – always replaying conversations in your head and worrying about how you were perceived. I will take care of those perceptions; you just concentrate on being transparent. You no longer have to hide your thoughts and emotions. Give voice to the things you haven’t yet been able to name or say out loud. There is great purpose in using this gift at places and times of My design.

I’m With You All The Way

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

I know you are feeling daunted by the things I am asking of you. Whether it’s staying put and making the best of your present circumstances or moving forward and asking you to be open to change, I AM WITH YOU ALL THE WAY! I won’t drop the ball or make you figure things out blindly on your own. Look for ways I am working things out: random offers to help you, pinches of funding to make ends meet. Be Persistent. Things will work out in due time and in the end, even if they seem impossible right now. Look back for evidence of this, and be reminded of my Goodness coming through. I’ll put the pieces together with and for you. 

An Audience of One

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

Concentrate on My flow plan for today. As activities unfold, moment by moment, allow My lead to guide your steps. Recognize the pressure for “performance” that is ego-driven, and instead, perform for Me as an audience of One. Show your stuff in honor of Me. It’s okay to be enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and appealing to others – this is part of how I designed you. Share news and information that edifies. Be delightful! You are My bright child in whom My Light shines. Go with confidence, joyfully, into this day with the pressure off. In you I am already well-pleased.
