Believing You Are Unwanted

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

It’s so easy to take offense to what others say and do. You must work on protecting yourself from this kind of thinking. Sometimes your head tends to assume hidden meanings behind others actions, believing you are unwanted, which makes you get worked up inside. This is fear-based thinking, – assuming the worst or believing you are unlikeable and unworthy of other’s affectionate attention. Trust Me when I say that this is inaccurate. Take a deep breath when you find yourself reacting like this to an unspoken assumption. Step back a minute and ask Me what the truth is, finding loving reassurance of your worth. Consider offering grace to others, assuming positive intentions underlie their motives instead of presuming they are set against you. Forgive any hurt and move on with My help, knowing you can rise above others actions and walk in the Light of reassurance.

Bring Me Your Complaints

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

Come to Me with all your complaints. Present them to Me with this twist: try to not judge yourself harshly for feeling negative or objectionable from time to time. I appreciate ALL of you, including your grievances against others and life’s hardships or annoyances. I just don’t want you hovering or lingering in a place of anger and negativity for long. If you find yourself planning how to retaliate, it’s definitely time to hand the situation over to Me instead. Give Me the keys so I can control the response to what has locked you up. Let Me free you from whatever annoys and angers you so that you can experience the true peace I offer.

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 Language in Self-Talk

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

A new day is dawning. I have things for you to do in it which you are uniquely designed to handle well. Take stock in how you are treating yourself during your self-talk. Be kind and encouraging to yourself, believing in My Good plans and your capacity to fulfill them. If you catch yourself using demeaning or anxiety-producing language, stop and return to Me for reassurance. I can help rewrite those scripts. Use a language of love when talking to yourself today and don’t settle for anything less. It will have a far reach when you do, because it spills over into loving conversation with others, as well.

Shine Without Feeling Daunted

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

You are God’s beloved, – a child of God, – so, believe it. Knowing this and trusting Me in this truth are two different things, but both are equally important. To know is to comprehend deep within, ingesting the words and shedding light on negative thought habits that try to tell you otherwise. God shows favor and delight in you, with great affection. Trusting this truth is taking all of this to the next level by putting into action self-care, self-confidence, and self-acceptance. When you trust that you are loved, defensiveness and false pretenses go down and fade away so the real you can shine without feeling daunted. Show love to yourself and this will radiate out, helping you to love others with ease, insight, and patience. Grasp what it feels like to know and trust God’s love for you.

Imagine Positive Encounters

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

Picture delightful things coming your way. Imagine positive and joyful encounters, and set your mind up to receive and be part of them. Setting the stage for Goodness to arrive like this is important. If you can work on releasing undue anxiety and posturing yourself for happier experiences, the outcomes will bear much fruit. My reign is one that calls for peace on earth, so picture that happening as a result of all your activities today. After all, I am the peace-giver and I will be generous with you.

“Not Today”

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

You don’t have to let yourself get all panic-stricken today (or any day, really!). Keep those fearful imaginings and worst-case-scenarios at bay by mentally putting your hand up and saying “Nope! Not today. It isn’t going to play out that way.” Replace worried thinking with images of you and I being together, calmly observing life unfolding peaceably. I want that for you. Picture good outcomes and smiling encounters. Notice the Light around you and inside you. Be confident in the light-filled ways that I work in, through, and near you today. I am yours and You are mine, truly.

Divine Makeover for Self-Acceptance

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

What you give and share of yourself is important. You are enough. I need you present to others today, but first and foremost I want you present before Me. Let Me wash your face with Grace and cleanse your eyes with holy perspective. Start fresh by loving yourself with a clean slate of self-acceptance. Bring this whole self in for renewal. This divine makeover starts from the inside with your self-talk. Show love and kindness to yourself and this will emanate outwardly. Allow your true worth to be acknowledged and accepted, readying you for things ahead. You are lovely, just as you are.

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.
