Truly Listen

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

Be generous with your attention to others today. Really focus on what they are saying and contributing rather than just concentrating on your own rebuttal or personal statements. It is not that I want you to squelch your voice; I’m just asking you to give space for others to talk and for you to truly listen. All people crave to be heard and validated. Once you’ve done that, you will know when it is time to share your own ideas and thoughts. Listen first and listen well, finding joy in the connection that results.

Life is Meant for Connection

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

You’ve felt a little distant lately – from Me and from others, perhaps. Life is meant for connection. Draw closer to Me and you will find Me already with you. Reach out to others and they will want to connect back to you. There doesn’t have to be an agenda to just call or message someone who has been on your mind. When you are thinking about a person, reach out to them today. Don’t put it off. I nudge you this way and there will be Goodness that follows your actions.

Stay Tethered To Me

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

Stay tethered to Me today, – not bound by obligation, but closely connected in love and honor. Think of it this way: I want you near Me! I enjoy and appreciate your company, charm, and wit. I like your emotional self and want to be close to you as My beloved creation, whom I am very fond of. See how this positive and enjoyable companionship influences your actions with others, spilling joy over and into all encounters.

Let Me Inspire You

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

Let Me inspire you. If you linger at My table long enough, you’ll feel the nudges I am trying to send. You will hear, feel, and know when it is time to move vs. when you need to be still. When to reach out and connect vs. when to hole up and recover. How to be the helper vs. when to ask for help. For now, be the encourager I created you to be. This starts by knowing you are enough, just as you are. Love and affirm all the intricate truths and facets of yourself. You are beautiful to Me just as you are, and I have so much still in store for you. You can be excited about that!

Available Moment by Moment

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

Just because you are taking on new tasks does not mean you have to lose contact with Me. Moment by moment, I am available to you. Find true quiet moments, – at the table, in the shower or car, wherever you can remember to stop and pause, – and make yourself open to Me. This quiet, genuine communion will have a powerful impact, because it’s a union that no other can destroy. Our connectivity will be warm, understanding, and patient. It is welcoming and inviting, grounded in love. Find how calming it is to be attentive to our deep connectedness. Breathe in deep drafts of My love for you and find healing and freedom in our relationship. I desire to bless you daily with this kind of help. Seek Me and find Me with you.

When People Are Draining You

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

You know how to show love, but other’s don’t always get it. I see you working hard to maintain connections in relationships that are bruised. Sometimes it’s okay to pull back temporarily and stay out of situations when people are draining you. Come to Me for replenishment. I will calm your frazzled nerves and soothe your aching heart. I will show you the way to love again. With My help and Grace you will be able to rise above past offenses and be forgiving and accepting of others even when they “don’t get it”. I do. I see your Good intentions and will bless your path because of it.

Speak With Me

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

Being with Me is not as hard, strange, or distant as you think. All it takes is a quieting in your thoughts to realize I am already there, – listening, loving, and guiding. I want My Presence known in the world. I want you to speak with Me intimately. The benefits of this are huge, accomplishing My works and also restoring and renewing your Spirit. Without Me you can become dried up, drained, and agitated. I desire life flourishing within you, a wellspring of joy. Be cognizant of My Presence in and all around you inviting conversation between us. I am here!

“That Close”

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

“That close”. You are “that close” to Me. This phrase is often used to talk about a near miss, but I say the opposite. You are so within reach that we actually overlap, with you-in-Me and I-in-you. I am not dodging you. We are already connected. Your only task is to be receptive and seek awareness of My glorious Presence within, —  accompanying, empowering, and healing you. Be mindful and aware of our union today, allowing this to influence your choices and motivate your interactions.

Allow Connections

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

You are a blessing to others just as they are to you. I designed it that way. You may not easily recognize your own need for others, so today I ask you to be mindful of that. I may be trying to speak to, nurture, and guide you in My ways if you open yourself to eyes that see and ears that hear. I also use you to intervene with others. My all-powerful and loving hands are always at work this way. Draw close to Me, allowing connections to others to happen. Do not isolate yourself; this is not My design.
