To Be Truly Loved and Accepted

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

I am yours; you are Mine. Repeat that to yourself and let it sink deep inside beyond your worries, underneath your stress, and into your very soul. Unravel the doubts, the lament, the self-degradation by using this utter truth. As you settle into knowing that you are Mine, let it permeate your whole being until you find peace. Absorb what it is to be truly loved and accepted. Allow this truth to prepare you for the day ahead, knowing that all else is relatively insignificant. You cannot earn My love, nor can anyone else take it away. Be confident in My ultimate plan for you, and rest in my reassurance.

When Others Are Dealing With Troubles

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

It’s okay to feel content even when others are dealing with troubles of their own. You don’t have to feel guilty about this. There are ebbs and tides to all of life’s struggles. No matter how hard you try, you’ll never be able to fix everything for others. Even with Me in your life, there may be unresolved troubles and worries. Let Me help you show love and compassion to those you care about. I never promised a trouble-free life, but I do offer peace. Being content and releasing any concerns about things beyond your control to Me will help you experience peace. My capacity to heal is far-reaching and available to all. Allow Me to renew your hope and to take care of those you love.

Good With That

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

Know that you are enough for Me, and I am enough for you. Be good with that. Come to Me with your worries and fears when they creep in and start to unsettle you. Hand them over to Me, then rest with trust in My arms. As you recover and regain your footing, look back at Me, your constant companion, with each step you take forward. Live in 24-hour segments, releasing the cares of tomorrow and the regrets of yesterday. Know that I’ve got your back and you are truly loved. Don’t worry about getting it all done today; sometimes only part of the work is necessary. Piece by piece, you will accomplish what is needed and still be able to breathe in My peace.

Lean Into My Sturdy Frame When You’re Weak

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

You are going to have bumps and bruises along the way. Everyone does. Knowing Me doesn’t make you immune to them. This is not because I am a cruel, neglectful, abusive, or punishing God. Quite the contrary! People stumble through life’s realities, and there is pain and discomfort that accompanies it by the sheer nature of human existence. But I am the Great Healer, Counselor, and Advocate. I am your Companion, placing healing ointments of grace and peace upon you along the way. I see your tears; I cry along with you. I recognize your worries and irritations, never dismissing them. Find Me, the One who knows you, and lean into My sturdy frame when you are weak. You don’t always have to be strong. Just be faithful and trust the walk we are taking together. You can still find joy.

Take Each Task and Conversation Before Me

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

You are attending to many people and things right now. It’s easy to forget My sovereignty over life when you are so busy, – and perhaps misguidedly thinking “it’s all up to you” to handle so much. With discipline of your thoughts, you can learn to take each task and conversation before Me. Acknowledge My Goodness in all your ways so that My divine hand can guide your words and actions. Find a peace-filled day in this practice of the art of submission. I may have given you much to handle on My behalf, but never will I tip the scale of endurance beyond what I will equip you with to take it all on effectively.

Peace and Joy Can Go Together

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

I am working things out for you, kneading out the sore spots. Trust Me, and look for ways I send others to help. Being “contemplative” does not have to mean being sorrowful all the time. Peace and joy can go together, and are actually a very nice pairing available even when you’ve been hurting. Practice detaching from your surroundings and moving into a peaceful and observant mode, allowing the stream of interaction and movement to flow in whatever direction I guide. You will remain intact during the process, I assure you.

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.

Give Sincerely

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

You are doing your part right where you are at this point in time, speaking words of encouragement to others. Affirm their worth and validate their experience with the compassionate heart I have instilled in you. No more or less than this is expected of you. Operating from a place of internal peace as supplied by Me will help you stay calm in the face of anything that comes before you. This is how I operate: nothing will be too hard for you to handle. It might not feel super big or impressive to you, but every little bit you give matters to Me. All I ask is this: give sincerely. The little things matter. You are needed and loved by Me.

Caring, not Worrying

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

There’s a difference between caring about things and worrying about them. I’ve designed you with personal preferences and abilities, with an intent for you to attend to things that matter to both of us. It’s okay to want good things and to value pieces of life that are precious to you, but stressing out about them and fretting over things that are not worth the investment of your energy or resources is not part of My plan. Excessive worry pulls you off track. Try releasing things that draw you away from the lifestyle of peace and joy I intended for you. Picture yourself living more at ease. Perhaps it is the things you think you most care about that you actually most need to let go of worrying about in order to find contentment.

Anticipating Good Things to Come

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

You get it. You know how having a grateful mind leads to a more joyful spirit. I want your happiness and to see you living a life not only of peace, but also filled with hope – anticipating good things to come. Picture it! Take whatever vision I lay on your heart or imagination and try approaching life as if it is a given that these good things are going to occur. Aim your sights on My powerful perspective. Nothing I desire for you is too small or too big to reach for and attain. Nothing.
