Benefits of Living More Aware of My Love

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

As you choose to live more aware of My Love for you, you’ll discover benefits like being more calm and experiencing resulting peace within. You can feed yourself well today. You may even find yourself better able to make healthy choices, – not over-indulging, but being satisfied with just enough (no more, no less). Discover balance between the tasks before you and good self-care as you pause to reflect on your with-God life. You’ll see that there’s no need to rush around. Pace yourself slowly and wisely, mindful that I am by your side with every step. Walk with Me, calm, holy and beloved.

I Leave Nothing Unattended

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

Take joy in your surroundings. Take time to really notice things, like the way the Light shines in, or how your tasks add to the beauty and order called for in this day. I leave nothing unattended. This can be a profound awareness that you must not take for granted. I am constantly aware of both the needs and concerns of all things, – orchestrating attentive responses. Try walking in a peaceful state of calm today trusting and knowing I have chosen your path and I am working in it with you.

Trying to Measure Up is Exhausting

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

Truly, I urge you to take the pressure off. Subtly and pervasively, you have been ingrained to be constantly doing, ‘performing’, accomplishing, and ‘succeeding’. It must be exhausting, always trying to measure up to self-imposed standards of perfection. My expectations are radically different. Certainly I appreciate your effort, drive, and skills; but I also appreciate quiet time spent with Me, without agendas. Practice a spiritual aim of being present in the moment, and perhaps less time-oriented. Just “be”, and see the benefit of My peace descending as a result.

Chip Away at that Self-Critical Veneer

/ Martha York / 2 Comments

Keep listening. Listen harder, – deeper, – until the truth comes piercing through. My love for you craves to break down the walls your inner critic has built up, breaking through the shame, guilt, and regrets. The past is in the past. Let’s chip away at that self-critical veneer until you find yourself at peace within. Once you can accept and embrace yourself as someone worthy of attention, kindness, and love, you will be more at ease around and accepting toward others. Anxiety will melt away. You can make amends as needed, but you also don’t have to spend your life being so apologetic all the time. Seek peace and follow after it by assuming a posture of self-acceptance.

Seek First to Understand

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

Let My Goodness rule in all of your interactions today. Silently make note of times when you recognize My Presence, kindness, and love. Strive for peace with all you encounter. You get there by listening well and responding respectfully. I’ll give you the words to say when it is time to speak. Seek first to understand, though. Don’t skip this important step. Remember that I place you and others on a path with a purpose which you may not see or realize. Entrust Me with whatever you face today, and leave the outcomes up to Me.

The Distress Of The World

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

I know it’s hard for you to hear Me right now. The distress of the world is great and easily distracts you. Take in moments here and there to breathe deeply, using a mantra like “God is with us”, and “I am loved”. Do this several times until My reassurance sinks in, promoting a sense of calm despite the storms around you. Seek My peace and find it always available to you.

Let Me Replenish Your Energy

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

You are bone-tired; I can see that. I also see your willing Spirit calling you to move on, one step at a time. I am with you, shouldering your burdens and assisting with the journey when it feels too tough or exhausting. Close your eyes and rest with Me for a moment. Let Me replenish your energy and refresh your perspective. Learn to trust My constant Companionship and My design for your life. Practice knowing that each day is designed with certain interactions and outcomes beyond your mortal vision. If your aim is to complete My work, you will find peace and satisfaction in knowing and trusting that all is well, and ‘enough’ is truly enough.

Including Hope

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

I still have big plans in store for you and for the world. I know you’ve doubted that lately, feeling complacent, discouraged, and lacking in motivation toward your part in the change. Try viewing this down time as a platform for recuperating and gaining new perspective. Ready yourself for things unknown and full of exciting promise. You can be at peace in the present, but don’t forget about including hope for the future in what you picture ahead. I’ll light the way.

Hush the Critical Voice

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

Be gentle on yourself today. Hush the critical voice, holding tight to the truth that you are loved and likeable. This life is not about being perfect. You are not ‘bad’ when you experience emotional reactions to circumstances or interactions. If you are triggered by something another says or does, step back and ask for My help with perspective. I’ll give you the words to say and the loving way to respond which validates you yet maintains the dignity of others. You are oh-so-valuable to Me. I desire for you to find and keep inner peace. The best way there is to hold My hand hourly.

Release Things to Me

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

You know what is good for you? Releasing things to Me to handle. There are so many situations and concerns that are not your responsibility to “fix”, no matter how well-intentioned you are. I see you trying hard to plan, forecast, and prepare for the yet-to-be-known. Take a deep breath, then exhale your imaginings about the future, blowing them in My direction. I am assisting in every situation, helping to bring about Goodness – I promise! Allow yourself to ponder only the present, and leave the future to Me. In practicing this you can find peace again.
