Believing You Are Unwanted

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

It’s so easy to take offense to what others say and do. You must work on protecting yourself from this kind of thinking. Sometimes your head tends to assume hidden meanings behind others actions, believing you are unwanted, which makes you get worked up inside. This is fear-based thinking, – assuming the worst or believing you are unlikeable and unworthy of other’s affectionate attention. Trust Me when I say that this is inaccurate. Take a deep breath when you find yourself reacting like this to an unspoken assumption. Step back a minute and ask Me what the truth is, finding loving reassurance of your worth. Consider offering grace to others, assuming positive intentions underlie their motives instead of presuming they are set against you. Forgive any hurt and move on with My help, knowing you can rise above others actions and walk in the Light of reassurance.

Bring Me Your Complaints

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

Come to Me with all your complaints. Present them to Me with this twist: try to not judge yourself harshly for feeling negative or objectionable from time to time. I appreciate ALL of you, including your grievances against others and life’s hardships or annoyances. I just don’t want you hovering or lingering in a place of anger and negativity for long. If you find yourself planning how to retaliate, it’s definitely time to hand the situation over to Me instead. Give Me the keys so I can control the response to what has locked you up. Let Me free you from whatever annoys and angers you so that you can experience the true peace I offer.

A Different Side of You

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

I know you and your deepest thoughts and concerns. I see a different side of you. Where you see cynicism, I see hope. Where you catch negativity, I see a glimpse of possibility. You are not all “bad” and dark; actually, the opposite is true. You are full of Light and Goodness. Others are drawn to you because of it. This is the truth. The critical voice inside tries to block this holy perspective, but you can reject its influence. Be bold with your God-given confidence today, relying on your inherent Goodness. Your Light is needed in the world.

Addressing Habits of Negative Self-Talk

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

The pressures of life plus poor habits of negative self-talk have eroded the beautiful Light I placed in you. It’s time to address those habits and feed your mind My words instead: you are loved! Start from that basic, undeniable truth and work on softening all of the hard edges that have crusted over this core belief. My Light within you is not meant to be covered. Your innate ability to love and be loved is not meant to be stifled. Let’s scrape, sand, and strip off the corrosion so that when you hear My voice, firm and affirming, it resounds with hope and clarity. See how this change in perspective peels away stress, hurt feelings, and negative thoughts, simply by believing in yourself and in Me.

Sweep Away the Critical Voice

Sweep Away the Critical Voice

You don’t have to be as susceptible to the critical voice as you used to be. You are “onto it” by now, – recognizing the deceit and inaccuracy it tries to convince you is true. The only truth is that you already belong to Me, and My love for you is strong, invincible, and unconditional. No trickery of thought can take that away. Push those old self-critical ways out the door and sweep the porch off, removing any remaining dusty negativity or doubt. Re-enter your home with Me protecting you as you live with ease and peaceful confidence intact.

Walk Away From The Negativity

Like water rolling off a duck’s back, let those petty annoyances drip off. Shake your feathers and watch those insensitive and unkind words flick off easily. You are deserving of love and don’t need those negative memories gnawing at you. Look for the Good and presume positive intentions even if other’s actions were offensive, condescending, or hurtful. You can be bigger than that and walk away from the negativity. Nothing needs to erode your Peace, which you’ll find in looking to Me and living in My ways. Ask Me for help to clear your mind and find Me readily with you, refreshing your perspective and outlook.

You Can Get Better

In My Presence you are made well. Instead of scrutinizing your every discomfort, brush away the negativity. Fend it off with loving self-talk and reassuring reminders that in God’s image you are A-OK and you can get better. You are not too broken. Make a conscious choice to say “God is with me, so I can get through anything.” Physical discomfort, emotional pain, and spiritual distress are all subject to My Healing. Turn to Me to be made well.
