You seek perfection, but I do not. You seek beauty, which I surround you with! Others see your beauty all the time, but you avert your eyes to their gaze. Your inherent beauty is actually one of your gifts – that is part of what draws others to you. I use you to draw others in and experience compassion, encouragement, tenderness, and joy – all present within and bestowed upon you. I want you to feel confident, but not only with your outward appearance. I want you to use your inner confidence to draw others in to My loving Presence within you, showing I am available in this way also for them. It’s a whole different way of looking at yourself. See with My eyes. Inspire others. Trust your evident beauty.

Put to Great Use
Your Spirit is connected to Me. I guide your footsteps to carry out My Will. It is Me who inspires, Me who creates – yet I do so in LOVE, not out of “demand”. My Will is to THRIVE in you with abundance and Joy! Your talent will be put to great use for Me. I am so happy with you. Remember that first and foremost. When you doubt that, you grow fearful and anxious, worrying about unnecessary things. I love you, – completely. I am not disappointed in you! You have great value to Me. Find Joy today in how you are being put to use for Me and for My world. I want that for you!
Change of Heart
I will grant you a change of heart. Sometimes when you choose to live My ways of love, it feels like there is an unbearable price to pay; but the end result is always worth it. I want you to know I have heard you, and your life is in My capable hands already. I am working in your life, and in the life of those you love, as well. You will find loving them to be easier. Take comfort in that. I need you to continue leaning into Me. You are not strong enough to do this on your own. I will carry your burden. I will refresh you. I can help form a change of heart to the one who needs it. I have known what you needed even before you named it. I hold you tenderly, gingerly, — like a small and frail bird. I will not fail you. My love never fails, remember?
New Direction
If I need you elsewhere I will lead you there. You haven’t “failed” here if things aren’t working out where you are. It is simply time for a new direction. See?! I make all things NEW! Jump on to the excitement of a new venture, a new train. Climb aboard! Remember Who has called you. You don’t have to earn or buy a ticket from Me. I want you to come along for the ride in complete faith, and show gratitude for the day ahead no matter what it holds in store. You may not understand why I have you where you are, but I know. I place you exactly where your worth is of value to Me. You can be confident in that, knowing there is a purpose for Good inherent in My plan.
Peace Comes from Within
I’ve already forgiven you, long ago and up to the very present. Now, forgive yourself. You are worthy of all of My love. I accomplish great works in you. You can be gentle as a lamb and courageous as a lion today. Your Spirit (which comes from Me) is much stronger than you give yourself credit for. Your capacity to love is great. Be other-centered out of love for Me. Take time to rest. True Peace comes from within, no matter what tasks you are or are not doing. Use that as your mantra. Imagine My Light enveloping you, and know that NOTHING, – no debt, no mis-interpretations or mis-perceptions, no anxiety, – can get in the way of My love for you or penetrate My desire for your well-being. You are forgiven, and you are loved; therefore, you can be at peace. Now, go forth and live like it!
Big Things Can Come
I desire your happiness. You are getting tired, discouraged, and trudged down by life. I need strong, capable, compassionate leaders. I want you in that role! You can trust that this current life experience is giving you just the knowledge and skills you need. Big things can come out of this. I ask more of you, but not more than you can handle. I will give you adequate time with others, and you will find all the balance you need. Trust Me in this process. Try picking up on what you are learning through these trials. You can be at peace and even inspired today just by knowing that you are doing My work! Once you give in to My will out of love, not resisting or resenting your circumstances, you will find the happiness and peace which you have longed for.
Child-like Trust
You have been such a hard worker. I see your effort, and I know how hard you are trying. You have many talents! I will tell you where and how you should go in due time, guiding your feet on next steps when you are ready for them. Be open. Don’t be so anxious, because the truth is that I am always with you! I won’t let your feet stumble. I need you here at home and available to others for now. Don’t let yourself get down-hearted. Work on acceptance of My Good plan for you. I know you are scared and almost feel lost. I know. I am with you. Wrap yourself in My safe garments. Be child-like in your trust of Me even when the present doesn’t make sense and the future is unclear. Take My hand and I’ll walk you around My gardens and eventually down My path designed for you. Delight in this experience with child-like abandonment.
Released from Shame
Know that I AM the true source of power and of healing. My opinion is the only opinion that matters. I want you to let go of the shame that binds you! Throw it out of the window! This is part of my transformation of you back into the glistening design I intended. I can release you from your internal jail cell of unhealthy, self-imposed shame. The door is unlocked and open. I call you to come out, hold My hand, and walk by My side as My companion. I know how scared you are, but you are safe with Me. I’m never going to let go of your hand. Look for your face in My eyes, reflecting back the true, unstained image available. Breathe in My unconditional love for you, and choose trust as I help restore your damaged Spirit.
Already Pleased
How I long for you to stop being so preoccupied with making a good impression. I want to say “Stop! Hear Me!” Hear Me calling and realize I am already with you, already holding you…already pleased with you. You are My brave soldier, My compassionate healer, My present one, — tending My sheep so well. I am truly happy with you! Let your confidence rest in that, and know that no task is insurmountable. No issue is too great for you to handle now. My ways, My plans have no boundaries and miracles are continuing to occur even in your new place. Your goodness is known; stop questioning that. Remember how pleased I am with you, and walk into the day with head held high, knowing your goodness is intact.
Plentiful
My kingdom is full of saints and sinners alike. You are precious to me regardless of your past. I will give you an abundance of what you need to make it through your day, like the basket overflowing with fish and loaves. Trust Me. Trust in My ability to care for you. You are holy, too, and I call you to important work. Quiet yourself daily to see My vision for you. Turn to me, and I will show you the way to walk. Dwell on this word: plentiful. I give you all you need. Behold My Son. Receive the Paraclete sent to bring you peace and remind you of My words set down to guide you. Appreciate My bounty for you today. It is more than enough.
