Enjoy Being Confident

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

You don’t have to get caught up in trying to impress Me or others. Do what comes naturally to you, and enjoy being confident in this. You are already enough, with nothing to prove. Listen to My guidance as I place opportunities in your path to utilize your unique gifts. This is not showing off or being prideful. It’s simply a matter of acknowledging that I made each person good at different things. Don’t be shy about your talents. Use them out of love and respect for Me, your holy Designer.

It All Starts with One Step

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

Moving takes more effort on days like today when you are tired and your head feels groggy. I see; I hear; I know. I love you through it all. Rest your weary head upon My kind shoulders and let Me support you for a minute. Close your eyes and sigh, releasing the grief and the weight of the world. Remind yourself once again that it is not all up to you to handle. Even if it takes all of your energy to trudge into the day, I still want you to move in and take one step forward. Start with just that one step, trusting that I will be helping. Before you know it, you will be walking again with energy, drive, and purpose, – but it all starts with that one step.

My Measuring Stick is Different

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

There is time enough for everything – even self-care. The last thing I intend is for you to feel discouraged or defeated. Carve out alone time and quiet time today to meet with Me for restoration. Let Me remind you of your likeability and how much you are loved and valued, even if others don’t express appreciation for all that you do. You are living for Me, and My measuring stick is different than the world’s is. Find your purpose and meaning by trusting Me and how I use your life for Good things. You are needed and loved by Me, and that is what matters the most.

Full of Meaning and Purpose

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

I have definite plans for you. These will unfold. Just remain steadfast with Me and in your work. Joy will come; abundant joy! I ask you to help strengthen others. This may feel like a lofty goal, but you are the one I picked for a reason – because of your own strength. You’ve been through many trials already, but there is much left to do and to celebrate. You can be passionate about healing and helping with work ahead full of meaning and purpose. I am that passion within you, giving you wisdom and insight to counsel others. Feel confident that this is what I need you to do.

Smoothing the Fears and Tension

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

Let Me help you quiet yourself, as completely as you can. Do not invest your thought time in needless worries. Come to Me. Be still before Me and know that I am God. Recognize Who you are sitting with! I am the Almighty Creator of all things! All-powerful, all-loving, capable of greatness. But I do not Lord this OVER you. Rather, I call you into My loving arms, wanting to embrace you fully and tenderly, smoothing the fears and tension you experience and sorting out the difficulties you face. The good news here is that I am at work in your life. Seek to trust Me with all things. Prepare yourself to step in the direction I point you for your life’s purpose. I love when you sit with Me like this, quietly resting in My Presence and readying yourself for the plan. Thank you for giving yourself to Me during this time.

Be Less Impulsive

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

Stick close to Me in your thoughts. Try running things by Me before making a move just to see how it resonates first. Being a little less impulsive like this may serve you well. I am teaching you the art and benefit of slowing. Easing up your pace doesn’t have to mean being overly cautious or reserved. It just means being more intentional, discerning, and purposeful. Let Me help you become more effective by being more at ease in the process of how your day unfolds.

How to Spend Your Time

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

Bask in the intimacy of our relationship today. Take joy and comfort in knowing I see you as you sleep, arise, and in your every move. Talk with Me often in your head, acknowledging things you notice, questions you face, and decisions you must make. I can help you choose how to spend your time and what to focus on wisely. Be inspired to do more knowing I place interests, goals, and perspective all as part of My great plan for you. Nothing you do or say goes unnoticed by Me. I don’t criticize your every move, either. I want you to see Me as your great encourager, motioning you to places, tasks, and conversations full of Goodness and meaning. I am powerfully present in it all. Know that you are loved first, then walk into your day engulfed in the grace of this truth.

Your Life is Worth Living Well

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

You are Mine. You are therefore always treasured, needed, and loved!  Let that sink in. How might you go about your day differently if you embraced this truth of belonging and being unconditionally loved? Yes, My beloved, – I want you here on this earth for a reason and a purpose today. I also want you to enjoy the day’s experiences. Look for My Light and take time to smile inwardly at Me when you find it. Your life is worth living well.

You Are a Big Deal

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

Your calling and sense of purpose may be hard for you to recognize when what you are doing comes so naturally to you. It might not always stand out to you, but I need you right where you are, attending well to others in your circle of influence. No more than that is needed for now. Don’t fall into the trap of thinking what you do or who you are is ‘no big deal’. You, – your life, interests, and interactions, – matter to Me. Nothing goes unnoticed. Even your emotions are of great value. None of it is insignificant. Stand tall, owning up to the big deal I created you to be.

Find Balance and Direction

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

Listen to the truths surfacing in your heart. I am calling you to pay attention to true self-care, which involves finding balance between activity and stillness. Already you are seeing the  benefits of this quiet time spent with Me. Simplify your life. Take time to reflect on what is most important to you vs. how you are spending your time. I speak to you on a gut-level like that. Honoring Me doesn’t mean overextending yourself, nor does it mean giving up what you enjoy. I designed you with likes and dislikes for a reason and a purpose. Ask Me to help you find balance and direction as you follow what gives you passion. That is My gift to you.
