Gradually you are coming into awareness of the life I have planned for you. Even with life’s setbacks, – which sometimes seem like an unending onslaught of problems, – I am with you, carving a way through. There is a bend in the road up ahead. Together, let’s walk on it. Let Me sling My arm over your shoulder as we approach it cheerfully. With Me, all things are possible…even living joyfully.

Whatever is Thrown Your Way
You are braver than you think or feel today. Rise up, throwing reservation to the wind. Step up to the plate to take your turn at bat. Despite nervousness, insecurity, and worry, you can take a full swing at whatever is thrown your way. I will orchestrate the connection between your effort and My outcomes; you just need to swing, then head to first base. One step at a time, one day at a time. Every day doesn’t have to be a home run. You will find life way more manageable if you just concentrate on one base at a time, knowing you are in My league and I’m cheering you on as a wise, trustworthy Coach.
Be the Voice of Compassion
I am relying on you to be the voice of compassion and teach this to others. Instead of taking offense to insensitive comments, soften your voice. Be determined to share a different perspective out of a desire to spread My Love. You can confront hurtful ways. Take My hand first, though, and pause to breathe. I will help with the wording. We can do this together.
Purpose Will Arise Out of Chaos
There’s a lot going on for you. I know about everything on your plate. Take time out to pause and recognize My Presence in each interaction and activity. Mentally pause to nod in My direction, acknowledging My sovereign and intimate involvement within you and those around you. Smile inside, aware of the Goodness in our connection. A sense of purpose will arise out of the busy chaos when you stop to take notice of My powerful and loving Presence. I can calm the waters anywhere you go.
Grasp Your Importance
I am sovereign over your life. Allow Me to be in charge of every aspect – the work of your hands, the words from your mouth, the inspiration from your heart, and the creativity of your mind. You and I are fluid, flowering, intermingled as One. Grasp your importance as you identify with Me, knowing that I wipe the slate clean with a fresh start. Put on your best attitude, open to what I have in store for this day. Do everything in partnership with Me.
Timing
“Timing is everything”. My timing is mystical. I’m not random with My purpose, though. Sometimes I nudge you boldly into action, and other times I hold you back from change until I know you are ready. The events in your life may also be created for the benefit of OTHERS, not necessarily your own. Take joy in trusting My divine crafting of your life events. Try not to disdain your circumstances. I know what I am doing, and there will be benefit for you in due time.
Empty Results vs. God’s Way
Seek God’s way. Put your mind on it and your heart will follow. When you don’t invite My Presence into your choices this can pull you astray and lead you down paths that bring empty results. God’s outcomes are what you can strive for, and in so doing you can find richness in Spirit and wealth in peace of mind. To truly find satisfaction you need to find satisfaction in what it is to strive for a life completed by the fullness of God and My Goodness. Erase your doubt of My love for you and seek first the kingdom of God.
Your Beauty and My Light
I love you just as you are. It is a love without judgement or condemnation. Can you work on accepting this truth, – receiving it without the tendency to let self-criticism drive it away or question its validity? Let My Light shine through your broken cracks. Others who hunger for Me will be attracted to the glorious combination of your beauty and My light. See yourself as beautiful, charming, and delightful, because that’s how I see you. I long for you to be okay with this.
Don’t Have to be Self-Conscious
I will restore you and keep you. I will protect and be with you. You don’t have to be self-conscious. Everywhere you go today is where I am. There is no room you enter that I am not already present in. Picture My Presence right next to and even within you, not distantly across the room. I am that close! With Me in you, you can hear My voice enter your thoughts. Today I whisper, “You can do it!” Have confidence in Me and My plan, trusting that all is unfolding exactly as it should.
Let Me Be the Time-Keeper
I know it feels like there is never enough time. Countless tasks, chores, activities. The days feel too short and the stress load too much to handle. Let Me be the Keeper of your time. Hold the lists before Me, trusting that I can give you the energy and resources to get things done, one at a time. Know that I nourish you when you build in time for rest and play. Trust My God-clock, doling things in right measure and pacing you through life until the work of My kingdom is complete. I promise to not burn you out because I desire your well-being. It’s OK to not finish everything on the list today. Work on not being so fearful of getting it all done. Release those worries to Me, your Time-Keeper.
