I Help Repair Messes

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

I am your God, – with you and for you, – always present at attention. This means you no longer have to worry about being ‘perfect’ or ‘worthy’. I notice all of your good intentions and thoughtful ways. I also see the screw-ups and mishaps, unintentional or humanly flawed as they are. The bottom line is that I want Good things for you, regardless of mistakes. I take messes and help repair them. Together we can ask for forgiveness as needed and deliver acceptance to others without holding back. Come to Me with the broken parts of life, in faithful hope that I will help things get better.

When You Are Worn Out

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

When you are worn out, sad, or fearful, I see it all. Today is a new day, though. I ask you to attend to self-care first before helping others. When you feel unsafe, fragile, or broken, I am here; at work in you and in your life. Your Goodness touches others in ways you don’t even realize. Instead of focusing on what you haven’t gotten done, replenish your spirit by knowing My renewing Grace is free. I am here to help you be self-forgiving and clean out those messy thoughts trying to put yourself down. Find rest and comfort with Me as we rebuild your strength and self-esteem.

Be Strengthened to Manage

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

Take care of yourself, including tending to your need for food, exercise, and rest. Build in time for conversations with Me daily as part of that self-care, too, because I want to build up your spiritual self, as well. I cannot implement the big plans I have in store for you until you can be strengthened to manage all that will be involved. There are many demands on your time. Gently I call you to be reminded that My well does not run dry. You can dip your ladle in these life-giving waters of Grace as many times as is needed to quench your parched body. As you extend yourself and thirst for more water, I will replenish and recharge your body and spirit. You will be ready for a multitude of tasks requiring your energy and concentration if you come to the well frequently.

Serve For My Good

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

You are My faithful servant. I want you to serve for My Good. My Good is when you touch the lives of others – sometimes in a passing hello, in more attentive conversations, and even in complicated activities. My Good abounds everywhere! Take some of it in for yourself today because I give My Good for YOU, too. I am not a demanding God who only asks you to serve. I don’t ask for your weariness or for you to over-extend yourself. Any day, in fact, you can receive from Me and I don’t consider it selfish for you to do so. My desire is for you to be replenished by My Joyful well.
