Thwarted Plans

Show love in the spur of the moment. It can become overwhelming trying to plan in advance for all the things you “intend” to do to bring goodness to others. Sometimes I thwart those plans with more pressing or present needs.  It’s okay to prepare and try to lay out positive plans, but I call you to be open to the winds of change I may put along your path. I thank you for your good intentions. I love that you honor Me in doing good works. I want to bless you – and others – in moments where My hand can accomplish what is most needed. Sometimes I even send angels to accompany you in allowing My will to be done. Be open to whatever I present to you today. You may be on the giving end, or I may place you on the receiving end. My design is so intricate, beyond your eyes or imaginings. In your response to others, as you strive to bring love into the moment, you may or may not even be aware of the dynamic change occurring. I design all things for Good. 

Shortcomings Overlooked

Spend time with Me, – not rushed, – …focused.  Take pleasure in this sacred space. I know you are frustrated with yourself. Your shortcomings feel like they are controlling your every move. I don’t see it like that. Yes, I recognize the times when you are less-than-what-I-have-taught-you. I see the times of irritation and short temper. I also see the times of patience, kindness, and deliberate choices to serve other’s needs before your own. I see you trying to “hold it all together” or put up a strong front. I look at this whole package and love you ever-so-much. You are My beloved! Holy and chosen for Good purposes. Stop being so down on yourself. Stop worrying about appearances. People love you and are drawn to you. I need you to do My works without overextending yourself to a point of resentment and bitterness. Rest. Fatigue can make all things sour. Slow your pace today and allow yourself time to pause and recognize My Presence and My partnership with you and those around you.  

Restoration Project

You concentrate so much on showing love to others, which I appreciate.  You glorify Me when you do that.  But when you give to the point of exhaustion it means you have forgotten to allow yourself My gifts to YOU.  I call you to rest; I strengthen and replenish you as needed, too.  I call you to RECEIVE.  Have you allowed yourself to receive grace from others? If someone wants to lavish you with thoughtfulness, kindness or attention, allow yourself to receive it.  Don’t back away.  Like Mary Magdalene pouring precious oils to anoint Me, I want to pour abundant blessings upon you.  Don’t minimize the importance of these gestures, or turn away in misguided humility.  It is part of My “restoration project” – restoring your soul for infinite bonding with Me.  Receive, with gratitude.  Let me overwhelm you with LOVE.
