Stop Pretense of ‘Having It All Together’

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

You are perfectly imperfect, and that’s exactly how I designed you. I want you to not only accept this truth, but to embrace and celebrate it with confidence and joy! Stop worrying about upholding pretenses of ‘having it all together’, ‘being on top of things,’ or being the one who’s ‘got it goin’ on’. Just walk humbly -yet confidently!- in the shoes I provide you with for today. No more, no less. You can trust that I like and love you just the way you are.

What You Are Saying To Yourself

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

Daily I call you to re-examine what you are saying to yourself. When old tapes creep up and replay harmful or hurtful words of shame, turn immediately to Me for reassurance. I will help you defy those messages. I will even help erase and replace them. How beloved and great I think you are. It’s actually part of My will for you to see yourself as Good, talented, capable, loving and worthy of attention. Set boundaries against those who make you feel otherwise. I will send faithful companions your way as you make room in your life for a better support system. These companions will provide a 2-way street of healthy interactions. Ask for My help; seek and ye shall find.

Be Transparent

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

You are good at what you do. I need you right where you are, teaching in ways people learn from. Don’t be shy about this. Be transparent. Show your flaws alongside your abilities. This combo makes for a glorious bouquet to others, and they will find it a pleasing sight. As you reveal your true nature, others are drawn in. Rise up to the occasion, trusting that I’ve called you here for a reason and My purposes will be fulfilled.

Use Your Influence

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

You may not realize the power of your presence and how I designed you to use your influence. I gifted you with leadership traits because I need responsible people in the world carrying out My work. You are dedicated and sincere. Others look up to you because of this authenticity. You don’t have to be intimidated by this message, nor to put on airs around others. I simply need you to be your confident self, trusting My design as you lead others. Do not doubt yourself or all I am capable of doing through you. Look to Me with eyes of trust, and I will guide your footsteps, taking you wherever you are needed today and always.

Smooth Away the Tension

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

The world is full of busy-ness. I call you to a place of calm and stillness so you can sense how near I am. While things around you clamor for your attention, I sit and wait patiently for you to turn your gaze to Me. Seek My compassionate and reassuring eyes, waiting to receive you with total love. Allow Me to smooth away the wrinkles and tension of the world, helping you to stop feeling so bad about yourself all the time. Let’s wash those things away, taking responsibility for whatever interactions need to happen to repair hurts, seek forgiveness, or release your self-blame. Breathe deeply, knowing I make all things new. Turn to Me and become repaired, whole, and freed.

Right Place, Right Time, Right Person

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

Right now, I ask you to just listen. You are exactly where I need you to be. There are events coming up soon which I have 100% geared you for. Boost your confidence by trusting My eloquent design. I won’t and don’t steer you wrong. You are exactly who and where I need you to be: right place, right time, right person. I need someone who is holy, loving, attentive, and well-spoken to go into these places and orchestrate healing. You are that person, able to attend to Godly purposes. What I order is good and just; let nothing get in the way. Not even self doubt, because there is no place for it here.

Speak Up

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

You have things to say and good ideas to contribute. I’ve equipped you with the ability to put together thoughts, and what you have to say is important. Don’t be intimidated. Speak up, even if it seems scary or trivial. You matter, and so do your ideas and opinions. Don’t get caught up in second-guessing or rehashing every word you said. Trust Me. You are My shared voice in the world and I need you to voice what’s on your mind or laid upon your heart.

Hush the Critical Voice

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

Be gentle on yourself today. Hush the critical voice, holding tight to the truth that you are loved and likeable. This life is not about being perfect. You are not ‘bad’ when you experience emotional reactions to circumstances or interactions. If you are triggered by something another says or does, step back and ask for My help with perspective. I’ll give you the words to say and the loving way to respond which validates you yet maintains the dignity of others. You are oh-so-valuable to Me. I desire for you to find and keep inner peace. The best way there is to hold My hand hourly.

No Need to Prove Yourself

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

You know My ways. You’ve studied them and tried so hard to “do right by Me”. I cherish your loving devotion. Let Me remind you, though, that My love never has to be earned by you “doing everything right”. Today, nestle in with the idea that you are perfect to Me just as you are. There’s nothing to do and no need to prove yourself as worthy of My love. I already love you! I am yours and you are Mine. Therefore, any anxiety toward your day is needless. Walk in confident trust in our relationship knowing you are fully supported and loved.

Walk Boldly With Me

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

You are ready, – more ready than you know. I always wait to assign you major tasks until I know you are prepared. Trust Me. Acknowledge Me. Give a silent, humble nod in My direction as you step onto the podium of this new year ahead, bowing with awareness of My Sovereignty over your life. You can be keenly aware of My Presence, giving you the confidence to speak and the patience to listen well. You are Mine, – forever and always, – first and foremost. Walk boldly with Me, confident in how I’ve prepared you for the tasks to be completed by you.
