Call You to a Higher Standard

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

You will work through it. You always do. While others may not change, I call you to a higher standard. Concentrate on doing what you need to do and I’ll take care of the rest. You don’t have to worry about fixing things; I’ll take care of that. It’s not up to you this time. I will show you the way you shall walk. Indeed, the future is good and full of greatness! A thing to behold, really, and it is near at hand. Take hold of joy and wonder by keeping your eyes open for it.

Let Yourself Be Small

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

You know how I long for you to be at peace. The easiest and most direct way to get there is sitting before Me and handing everything over with trust in My godly care for your every concern and need. I’ve got this. Breathe in My ultimate and constant love for you. Stop trying to figure out everything that ails you or causes your jaw to clench. Try to stop the incessant planning and imagining what you picture needs to happen. Instead, relax your face. Cry if you need to. Please, just let Me love on you for a while. Let yourself be small, cupped in My attentive Greatness, and find the peace you desire.

Where I Am Taking You

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

I know you are tired of the car ride with me right now. I see how easily you feel discouraged or crushed in spirit when things aren’t working the way you think they should. I know you sometimes wonder, “Where are you taking me?” and may want to ask Me, “Can I stop the car for a while, or get off at the nearest exit?” I will take over the driver’s seat when you let Me. I have the map, and I’ll provide all the fuel you will need to keep going on this ride. You can trust where I am taking you, even if you cannot see the destination right now. Just knowing we are together in the car will help you manage. You can trust My driving.

When You’re Feeling “Off”

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

When you feel a little sick or “off”, come to Me. Drink from My well of refreshment and healing. Take the load off your shoulders and sit with Me for a while. As you linger here, I will gently help you cope. Remember, I care about your every need. Move slower on these days, – just one step at a time is all that is needed. Before you know it, this challenge will have passed. I am with you and for you, always.

A Somehow God

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

Listen to Me and trust that I am the “somehow” God in your life that you need. Somehow, you turn a corner and find that peace that outweighs the anxiety and sadness. Somehow, you get the strength to handle that difficult situation. Somehow, a genuine belly laugh breaks through the tears and disappointment. Somehow, people come through and circumstances change. Life moves on. Trust Me to provide all the somehows you will need. Take a breath of encouragement, succumbing to My gentle reassurance that you will get through all of this.

Whatever is Needed is Doable

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

Whatever is needed from you today is doable. I make all things work together for Good. I won’t ask more of you than what you can truly handle. Try not to look at the day ahead measuring your energy and strength against what you think it’ll take to get through. You can trust that I’ll equip you with enough stamina, and then-some. Look for ways to partner with others and share the load when the opportunity arises, too. Remember, it’s not all up to you. My hand is at work. Don’t let yourself be intimidated by anything I place before you. Believe in how capable you are.

Annoyance, Judgement and Criticism

/ Martha York / 4 Comments

I love you even when you are annoyed and angry and your face scrunches up with visible disdain or criticism toward others. This doesn’t make you a “bad person”. I still love you, even then. With that said, I also want you to bring those annoyances, judgements, and criticism of others and lay it all at My feet. Release your thoughts into My capable, problem-solving hands. Inhale forgiveness and fresh perspective. What if I tell you I need those people right where they are and I want you right there with them? I have My reasons, which you cannot always see. Inhale trust for My design at work; exhale a greater acceptance of others, because all belong to Me equally.

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.

Listen to My call, drawing you into awareness of your artistic side. Come to Me; meet Me in the colors and spaces beckoning you in today. You won’t regret it!
