Find the Peaceful Common Ground

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

It can be hard being at odds with others. Having deep differences of opinion and judgment causes division sometimes. No matter what is going on in your relationships with others, I am always at your side, and at theirs. Keep this in mind: I live in all kinds of spaces. I know it is easy to feel offended when you’re put on the defensive by others. Instead of honing in on your differences, try finding the peaceful common ground where you can both walk in My perfect light. It might only be a sliver of brightness, but I assure you it is there. Look for it. I will meet you in that dimly lit place and help heal divides.

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.

So You Can Breathe Easier

I am your God, and able to be sovereign over your life in Good ways if you let Me. Allow Me the authority to help shape your thoughts and guide your actions today. Find how freeing it is to let go of all the things you think you can or should try to control, and instead watch with curiosity to see how I make things turn out when you give me free reign. You have the power to do that in your own mind and heart. Let Me in and allow Me to take over for a change so you can breathe easier. I love you and I desire to give you peace.

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.

Take Breaks From Thinking Too Much

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

Be wary of things that fill your mind with needless worry. Instead, take intentional breaks from thinking too much. Get up, soak in the views I place in your presence. Notice the beauty, the stillness, and color or sounds. Focus on whatever seems to catch your eye, and acknowledge My companionship in whatever you experience. Remind yourself that you are Mine. In momentary breaks like this I will bless you with the peace of mind you crave.

Trying to Be So On Top of Things

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

There will be time enough for everything. You get so tangled up in worries that you’ll forget an important detail, trying to be so on top of things all the time. Its exhausting watching you strive this way, often mistaking your regimens as being what I ask of you. I call for BALANCE. Rest is part of that balance. You don’t have to fear not being ‘productive’ all the time. Come play with Me and take time to attend to all the facets of yourself. It all fits into My grand plan for you. Find me as you rediscover what you love and unearth treasures you forgot you had all along.

Leave Your Baggage

You have arrived at My door. I greet you with great welcoming, and I attend well to the needs of My guests and children. You are both to Me: my invited visitor and My beloved child. Whenever you encounter problems, difficulties, conflicts, or challenges, remember who you live with and who you are coming home to. Leave your baggage at the entry for Me to sort out while you enter this space within My bright Light. I am a Good and loving God, and there is no room for cluttered worries in My dwelling place.

Lost in a Sea of Needless Worry

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

When you are lost in a sea of needless worry, come into My arms. Be comforted and reassured. My love is real, My plans are good, and you needn’t be so afraid and worked up. Don’t be fooled by the misguided belief that things are “all up to you” to do, fix, or accomplish. Rest in My arms of reassurance until your fragile spirit is completely recovered. Remain close to My side with each step you take and lean in as needed for support. Things will work out; you can trust Me.

Driven with Excessive Responsibility

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

I call you to attend to certain tasks today, but this is never meant to be heard as a hard task-master. I call out with cries of love for you! How much I desire for you to first and foremost hear My bid for your loving gaze in return. You are so hard on yourself, – so driven with excessive responsibility for many things. As you learn to rely on me, your Maker and the great artist designing your life, you begin to comprehend how My capacity is greater than your needs. Turn to Me and find me Present at all times, and lean on Me to discover the strength and sustenance you need to complete all that is on your plate. Come away with My peace and joy ignited in your spirit.

Build Calmness Into Your Day

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

You don’t have to be so rushed. There are ways to build calmness into your day, and into your head and heart. Choose to sit still, closing your eyes if you can, and concentrate on slow, deep breathing. Notice the Light pouring into your eyes, even through closed lids. Repel thoughts of tasks waiting to be done, deflecting them out of your mind intentionally as you seek My calming Presence. Soak it in. Repeat these mantras until My truth settles in: All is well. I am yours. Hear My voice.
