Delays in timing. Earth is so time-bound, and many tend to be impatient. Learning to ride the ebb and tide of events with acknowledgement of the Holy Movement guiding the current is a faith skill worth developing. This takes trust in the Master! Trust that I am looking out for you, that I am always involved and leading you exactly where you are most needed in the present as well as in the future. My intentions are good. If you are wrestling with the lack of movement or outcomes you don’t understand, stop. Pause. Consider how I used you already in this day. Who did you encounter? What did you feel drawn to notice or attend to? Act when I urge you to, planting seeds of consideration. Find My hand involved, and gather peace in that moment. Grace will carry you on with holy timing. Nothing is insurmountable.

Richness
You are richer than you think. When you look through narrowed eyes, seeing only earthly values, it feels like it’s never enough. Let Me widen your perspective to see all I am doing in your life. Blessing upon blessing, from every angle. More than enough to satisfy. See the truth in this richness. Relax your standards, and release your burdens to Me. Allow simplicity to rule today. Expend your energy only on the task that is before you, without giving in to the tendency to heap plans and worries on top. Widen your eyes to see all I am doing in this present moment. I care about you ever so deeply. Lift your eyes to the heavens when you most need to see where you are going, then practice the art of ENTRUSTING ME with the planning. I go before you, behind you, above you, inside you, – everywhere you go, I go.
Decisions
Listen. It will come to you. That thought, that decision that needs to be made; wait for it, and it will come to you in due time. Sometimes you need to act in faith, trusting Me with the outcomes, and make a decision even without complete confidence on your part up front. Instead of crying out in fear with “I don’t know what to do!”, remember that I do know. As I lead and you choose to follow, I will guide your next steps. Take one step. Maybe even take the leap. Whether the decisions before you are small and seemingly inconsequential, or are monumental and overwhelming, I AM WITH YOU. I will nudge you one way or another; your work is to move forward with trust in My direction and My outcomes. Stillness before movement is good and essential, but eventually I call you to move. I allow and encourage sound reasoning; stagnancy is not part of My holy plan. You can trust My Holy Spirit to be your guide always, – helping you to be brave as you step into unfamiliar territory. Remember, each choice made in faith leads you closer to Me. I am a safe and loving God.
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.
Inspiration
I am lighting the way: glimpses along the path give you insights and inspiration. You need not worry about so much; I have a plan in store for you that is brilliantly designed and suited just for you. Keep your eyes open to possibility! Take a chance on My initiatives that I instill in you. I AM the Divine Inspirer! And you are one of the results of My amazing creation. Together let’s celebrate the possibility alive and renewed in and around you today. “If you seek Me, you will find Me”, – already in your midst.
Interwoven
Grip My hand. Talk to Me constantly. Feel the Power of My Presence surge through that grip and into your innermost being, strengthening you: moment by moment…task by task…conversation after conversation. You and I, – tightly interwoven (regardless of how you look, think, or feel). When pain surges through your body, squeeze My hand tightly. When irritations threaten to take over, whisper to Me. I’m already there, seeing it and experiencing it with you. When it feels like too much, lean on Me and I will take over the rest. Always enough for you. Always there for you. Never alone. My kingdom come, My will be done on earth as in heaven. You and I are a powerful duo, – making that happen. Purpose in every day. Tight grips.
Godly Traits
I have designed you with a spark in your eye and in Mine! Flaws and all, I made you uniquely,- and I AM IN YOU. My children often forget that – that you have MY genes! That’s what makes you “in My image”. Head into this day realizing you are more like Me than you’ve given yourself credit for in the past. You “take after Me”, you resemble Me – with mannerisms, wit, grace, style, kindness. My offspring. Take the best traits in Me and make them all part of you today. You “come by it naturally”. It won’t be hard. Trust Me with the truth of your Godly heritage.
Shed the Details
Hear Me: I do not “reprimand you” – I am not that kind of God! If you face challenges that seem to attack your spirit, know that I may be forming or shaping you more into My likeness, and so choose to say, “thank you”. Choose to TRUST, knowing that I will reveal Myself to you fully each step of your life. My ways are not meant to be hard. Sometimes they call upon you to stop focusing on the details, enlightening simpler priorities and gleaning peace from it all as you learn a life of simplicity. Stop fretting; stop “sweating the small stuff”. Release those daily annoyances that frustrate you so much, and know that My Peace is within your grasp. I’m not a punitive God trying to teach some sort of mean lesson to you. My peace will satisfy far more fully than what this world defines as accomplishment or success. My peace I leave you; My peace I give to you…Not as the world gives, do I give. Joy unimaginable! Wonder beyond belief. All of this is within your reach. Shed the unimportant details. Seek peace, and follow after it.
Rest Your Head
Imagine, if you will, a quiet place. Warm temps, slight breeze, soft light. Comforting surroundings. A place where ALL YOUR NEEDS ARE BEING MET. Go there in your mind and sit down. Now, I come along to rest next to you. There is nothing unsettling or unsafe about My Presence. We sit together, relaxing, in silence. You are aware of My Presence and it, too, comforts you. Today, try to remove the concerns, the worries, the comments, the decisions – all vying for time in your head. Don’t worry about answers and solutions. Let the Light surrounding you FILL you. RESTORATION will result from this exercise. You will be restored to right-thinking, restored of energy, replenished with peace in your spirit. My Presence is enough to heal you. Your needs ARE being met – choose to believe this, and trust will follow. Come to Me in silence. Rest your weary head. Enjoy My Presence.
Natural Self
There is power in connection and re-connection. Power to heal, power to anoint. Power to move forward and make new things happen. Keep listening, reaching out to those in need of My hand at work in renewed relationships. See how I make all things new. Notice how involved I am as you reach out to others. I have called all to new life in Me. Simply speak the truth about that which you already know. Your beauty comes forth when you do that – eloquent and sincere. I designed you to be this authentic self, without pretenses around others. Your humor, your sensitivity, your awareness of others needs and their desire for acknowledgement makes you a wondrous spiritual tool in My kingdom. Do not doubt your greatness or your capacity, and do not fear it. Let My Light shine BOLDLY in you today, without hesitation or concerns for “what others are thinking”. Be your natural self, and trust that this is Good.
