Things to Notice

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

I give you so many beautiful things to notice and ponder. When you slow your roll and are able to truly stop and take something from the view in, I gift you with a shift in perspective. Stop and smell the roses or lilacs. Truly slow down enough to enjoy and appreciate what you taste and see, then give a nod of acknowledgement thankfully to Me. Be struck in awe by My Presence as I meet you in your surroundings today. I love you and am ever-so-near.

Do Not Disturb

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

Meet Me in the stillness. I know how hard it is to quiet your mind. The constant chatter can be unsettling at times, disturbing the peace nestled quietly in your core where I’ve placed it for all time. Picture putting up a sign in your mind’s traffic that says “Do Not Disturb”. Shush the rebuttals that try to disrupt this precious time with Me. Remember that My Presence is more powerful than the pressures of life, and My love for you is real, available right here and right now. Breathe in reassurance. Exhale stress and momentary anxiety. Soak in My calming love for you. This will give you sure footing for whatever the day holds in store.

Afraid of Falling Short

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

I see you working so hard to try to do everything “right”, yet feeling afraid that you are missing the mark or falling short. This couldn’t be further from the truth!  I never ask more of you than what you’ve already been equipped to give. When that inaccurately critical voice tries to overwhelm you with distorted self-evaluation, stop and face Me. Look to My gaze, so full of complete love, reassurance, forgiveness, and ultimate acceptance. That is the truth about you. You are loving, capable, and kind. Don’t let any little flaws or misperceptions try to convince you otherwise. I love you totally, and you are Mine for all of time.

When life feels overwhelming, I want you to be gentler with yourself. Come to Me for kind reassurance. Remember that I do love you every-so-much and I am with you in all things, helping you get through difficulties and helping to find relief. You can trust Me even on dark days. I never leave your side.

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.

Love Yourself, Too

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

Today is supposed to be about expressing love to others. I want to emphasize that it’s okay and essential to love yourself, too. Your body has been working well for you, so be kind to it today and deflect any tendency to criticize any part of yourself. Replace that habit with one of gratitude for all that you are still able to do in life. Embrace your age, and learn to listen and attend to your body and spirit just as much as you pay attention to others. Life is a gift encased in this “self”, so the more you treasure and nurture it, the more freely you can share love well with others.

Relax Your Face

Relax your forehead, face, and jaw. You carry so much tension at times, unaware of how hard you are striving and concentrating. Remember, you can release the planning into My capable hands for a minute and actually find a sense of calm and peace descend. Just close your eyes for a moment and breathe deeply, perhaps telling yourself “It’s okay. I can trust God to help work it all out.” You CAN trust Me; this is an absolute truth. I do so love you and am caring for every detail and concern in your life.

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.

Start with Calming Reassurance

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

You can rely on Me. No matter what you are facing today or in the days ahead, I am right there with you. Grasp My hand and hold tight to steady yourself instead of giving in to old habits of anxiety and worry. I want happiness for you, starting with calming reassurance. Anxiety stems from mistakenly thinking you won’t have whatever it takes to move through life’s experiences, but this couldn’t be further from the truth. I will equip and sustain you with more than enough for what you need. Trust Me in this truth and in My love for you, which is always there to steady you.

Less Critical of Yourself

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

Try being less critical of yourself and see how this impacts your ability to show Grace better to others. Everyone has flaws, but this does not make anyone less-than-perfect in My eyes. I design all with unique traits, and imperfections have their place in making the world more relatable. Instead of judging yourself and others so harshly, try viewing shortcomings with a different lens, knowing no one is better or less than anyone else from My perspective. Using this, you will be better able to love unconditionally, including how well you love yourself. See how this enables you to be more at peace deep inside, too.
