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.

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.

Your Life is Not a Performance

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

Your Life doesn’t have to be a “performance”. Share your truths, your knowledge, and your authentic self and you won’t need to worry about what impression you are making. I’ll take care of that part. Your words and approach have impact and meaning by My design. Therefore, your efforts reach much farther than you can see. Trust Me to handle the outcomes while you concentrate on being you. That is always enough.

It’s Okay to Back Off a Bit

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

Everyone is a little bit broken, – even you. I don’t say that to sound mean or critical. Rather, I want to reassure you that I see and hold your fragility. I “get” the fearful and anxious thoughts that come into play when you encounter people and circumstances that scare or upset you, or make you second-guess yourself. It’s okay to back off a bit when you feel a need for protection or time to regroup and regain your footing. Run to My safe arms, which are always nearby and open for you. I will help steady you and I always aim to protect you. As I comfort you, your nerves will be soothed. Today doesn’t have to rattle you; trust in My loving Presence.

Nothing to Prove Today

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

There’s nothing you have to prove today. Start from there, and then move through your day in complete trust that you are A-OK and just the right person for whatever is in front of you. You can take a back seat when others need the lead or the limelight. All is well and you can be at ease, trusting My love for you just as you are.

No Need for Self-Doubt

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

You can trust Me to be present in every encounter and interaction today. My Presence can bring you a sense of calm. Work on identifying when old habits of angst, dread, worry, or fear start to arise. When you recognize those are happening, say to yourself “Out! These feelings don’t belong in my head.” I have designed your day and you are perfectly equipped to handle whatever comes before you, so there’s no need or use for self-doubt. I am with you and for you, and you are needed and valued exactly as you are without any pretenses. You can trust Me.

Stop Beating Yourself Up

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

I am already pleased with you. Act accordingly today out of mutual affection for Me, not as a needless attempt to earn My affection. My love for you and appreciation of you is already there. Stop beating yourself up. Walk mindfully, step by stop, trusting that all that is needed of you today will get done. Learn to find My endless supply of peace deep within as you leave outcomes up to Me. My desire for you is to know you are loved. That is all.

Recognizing Your Limitations

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

You do not know everything. It’s important that you begin to recognize this fact, and  lift some of those ridiculously harsh self-expectations off your shoulders. I am accompanying you daily, and I reveal all you need to know in a given moment. Recognizing your limitations and humbly admitting them is actually an asset. The less self-reliant you become, the more you can depend on Me and find My peace. You worry far too much about what others will think of you. When you try to be all-knowing, this actually pushes others farther away. Learn to embrace your shortcomings so that I can draw you closer to Me and to others.

Perfection is a Misguided Aim

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

You are on the brink of falling into the old trap of beating yourself up inside your head. Today, choose life instead. Choose to love your flaws and imperfections, putting balance back into perspective as you see how much your Goodness outshines the rest. I love and behold you just as you are, with both sides included. Seeking perfection and expecting that of yourself is a misguided aim. Beloved, seek Me and My unconditional adoration of you as My creation. Certainly I want you to do your best, putting kindness, mindfulness, and intentionality behind all your actions, but I don’t want or expect perfection. Mistakes happen. Brush away the dark thoughts and find joy in the with-God life I intend for you.

Listen with an Intent to Understand

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

Be curious about all I have in store for you today. Instead of making judgements about those you encounter, listen with an intent to better understand and appreciate what they are sharing with you. Throw any hint of judgementalism to the wayside, including your own self-criticism inside your head. Allow yourself to be more at ease by accepting your own contribution as being worthy of attention and being enough for what is needed in the moment. All is well. You can trust that My hand is active in and all around your life.
