Embracing All the Sides of You

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

You are getting it, and starting to see that My view of you and My plans for you include loving and appreciating yourself more exactly as you are. I’ve instilled a bold drive in you just as much as a soft, sensitive side. I created you to shout as much as to whisper, to laugh as well as to weep. You are not only worthy of attending to others, but also of being attended to by Me and others. I want you to work at uncovering and tenderly embracing all the sides of you that you’ve tried to hide internally instead of selecting only what you think is appropriate or acceptable outwardly. Reveal it all to Me, because I like you just the way you are and I want you to like yourself, too.

Where the Wind Blows

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

You know not where the wind blows, but I do. You don’t need to worry about that. Stride into today letting just enough breeze carry you to the destination arranged for these next 24 hours only. Resist the tendency to think ahead, and just relax into the day,  approaching it with curiosity and hopeful intrigue. You don’t need to map everything out in order to feel happy. See how not worrying about all the details and just letting life unfold enlivens your spirit.

Saving Grace

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

Saving Grace: these are words to meditate on. My Grace saves. My Grace has enough supply to rescue you and those you care about from any of their troubles. Your job is not always to fix  problems. Consider this: your job may be to call upon My Grace, or to direct others to do so. In My Grace there is enough wisdom, stamina, and peace for all. Do you know My Grace? Have you sought it out lately? I love to give it freely; you merely have to step up to the plate and ask for it to be served. I am a generous God. People mistakenly think I am stingy when it comes to helping when they are in the middle of their troubles, but this is completely wrong. It is in times of trouble that My Grace pours out in gallons, washing over the whole scene and bathing those in need.

Calm Reassurance

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

My hand continues to be working in, before, and behind you, molding you to My design. Hear My voice offering calm reassurance. I AM WITH YOU…I am with you. Breathe in this truth, absorbing its healing power. You are never alone in anything you must face today and always. Today I ask you to not feel small. Instead of being anxious or worried, picture yourself as big, confident, and filled with My strength to accomplish all that is asked of you, one thing at a time. In a world of multi-tasking, doing one thing at a time is actually key to staying focused and calm. Remember that My hand is cupped around yours. Glance toward Me with each task we pick up to handle together. Celebrate our companionship as the day unfolds and eventually draws to completion. My joy is yours.

Leave the Judgement Calls Up to Me

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

Your biggest Achilles heel is worrying about what others think of you. I am not worried about that like you are. I see things differently. You are so prone to interpreting every glance, grimace, or comment as either positive, favorable, and ‘likeable’; or as negative, disdained, and a ‘turn-off’. Judging people and sizing everything up is deeply ingrained into your habits, yet this is the part I want you to work on with Me. Ask Me to take over the interpretations while you work on your response to others. Aim for acceptance, tolerance, and trying to understand where others are coming from. Leave the judgement calls up to Me as you work on embracing others just as they are. This, in turn, will bring you greater peace and improve your capacity to love unconditionally.

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.

Would You Believe Me?

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

What if I were to tell you, “All is well”. Would you believe Me? What if I said, “I’m taking care of everything.” Would you trust Me? Why do you live in such doubt and fear, panicking that everything is about to fall apart just around the corner? I tell you sternly and lovingly, stop your thoughts from going into panic and planning mode. I know it is uncomfortable having to blindly trust Me on all matters, but I do have a plan and a destination for you today, tomorrow and into the future. Watch and wait with quiet trust and peaceful anticipation. I’ve always come through, carrying you through hard times. Do not fear change if that is what is needed. All things will come to Light when they are due.

Everybody Needs Reassurance Sometimes

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

Everybody needs reassurance sometimes, – even you. When others don’t seem to recognize or notice you, or when they aren’t good at acknowledging your value and worth, come to Me. Return to My loving arms and realize again how truly treasured you are. I created you! You are ever so precious to Me. Not one single piece is a turn-off, or viewed as “less than”. I take you into My arms tenderly, with massive love spilling out of My heart onto you. Run to Me and receive My unconditional, overjoyed love for you. I like seeing you and being with you every single day.

Not In Harm’s Way

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

I know you and I long for your safety and protection. I am not sending you to the wolves and will not allow you to be put in harm’s way. I will be watching for potential danger, taking your hand and guiding you on the right path. You are a grown person, full of competence and the ability to use good judgment. I trust that in you, and have entrusted a set of gifts which are needed in this fractured world. Others look to you for the same comfort and guidance I provide to you. You can handle it, for I give you nothing greater than what I equip you to do. My yoke is easier than you worry about.

Take One Step Only

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

Why are you wound so tightly today? I am taking care of the details and the trajectory of your life. Take one step only. Just one at a time. Stop worrying about the big picture. I can help you concentrate on the present. Trust Me with the unfolding of the rest in due time.
