You Are Valued

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

Every now and then I see your insecurities cropping up. In deep places, old scars and messages trick you back into thinking you aren’t good enough for love, attention, security, or good gifts. This couldn’t be further from the truth. You are loved and valued by many, and most importantly, by Me. It is My heart toward you that is good and kind, and I want to lavish you with love. Don’t let your “worthiness” be tainted wrongly by the broken world. Today, allow yourself to believe in your value not only through what you bring to the table, but also by the love you so deservingly are sent. Receive it in full, with no strings attached.

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.

Release the Pressure to Fix It

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

I know your innate truth and worth. Deep inside you are the epitome of compassion. It’s because you care so deeply about others that you also get so worked up at times. Let’s work on channeling this passion for helping others with their wellbeing into more constructive focus. You don’t have to be working harder than them. Work on recognizing when you are doing so, trying to control or channel other’s decision-making. Release those who are simply unable or not ready to make better choices on their own. I know how disappointing this is for you to watch, and how you agonize over others poor life management, but hand your disappointment and your wishes for them over to Me. Trust Me to work on it while you take a break to recuperate. You can trust My loving oversight of all things, releasing the pressure to fix it yourself.

Divine Makeover for Self-Acceptance

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

What you give and share of yourself is important. You are enough. I need you present to others today, but first and foremost I want you present before Me. Let Me wash your face with Grace and cleanse your eyes with holy perspective. Start fresh by loving yourself with a clean slate of self-acceptance. Bring this whole self in for renewal. This divine makeover starts from the inside with your self-talk. Show love and kindness to yourself and this will emanate outwardly. Allow your true worth to be acknowledged and accepted, readying you for things ahead. You are lovely, just as you are.

Worries That Trip You Up

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

Your feet are catching on senseless worries that trip you up. Stop stumbling by recognizing that pride and ego are difficult forces to be reckoned with. I can help you with that. It may require you choosing to allow Me to be in charge. When you take a haphazard path full of insecurities and questions about your value, worth, and capabilities, the risks of tripping, falling, and injury are greater. Worrying about one thing after another, or trying to control outcomes over which you are powerless, will only cause additional hurt and frustration. Step back, allowing Me to help you face the unknown and unfamiliar. You can proceed with trust in My plan and My purpose for your life, helping you get around or move those obstacles. I can help stabilize you, – just turn to Me and ask.

Your True Worth

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

Let’s talk about your value and worth. You tie it to so many unpredictable variables that are fragile, flawed, and ultimately unsupportive. The opinions of others are heavily tainted by their own experiences and opinions, which most of the time has nothing to do with you. The brief moments where you may be acknowledged by or shown appreciation from others will never sustain your inherent sense of being valued. It’s only by looking into My loving gaze that you can see and hold on to your true worth. Turn to Me often to see what “unconditional” means, and allow My tender Presence to heal your bruised ego. I love you just as you are, and you are truly precious cargo that I carry with Me. I deem to protect and treasure you always.

Aim for What is Doable

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

I am a reassuring God. I often see you pushing yourself, striving for that unattainable perfection and trying to be the most thoughtful, capable person who is always on top of everything. Allow Me to bless you with full acceptance of your efforts; I deem them to truly be enough. Yes, I want you to be kind, loving and thoughtful and to use your talents well, but not at the expense of beating yourself up with unrealistic expectations. My bar for you is no higher than what you can comfortably and reasonably accomplish today, – no more and no less. Aim for what is doable and leave the rest for Me to attend. Accept My fully pleased response to you, which never has to be earned. I give it freely.

Plans That No One Can Shake

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

Be still, My child. I am here now and I will be with you then, too. I have plans for you that no one can shake. Your life and your work are of importance to Me and bring value to many who suffer. You are tending to My hurting sheep when you do your work, and I value that. It won’t be stopped. You can sit back and trust Me on this.

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.

Questioning Your Purpose & Value

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

I know you sometimes question your purpose and value. It’s there, though – woven inside your heart by My Spirit, which is living in you. It might be even harder for you to see in yourself, but others recognize and are comforted by you. Today, try trusting that what you contribute is enough. You don’t have to demonstrate exceptional things in order to be valued. What if I told you just sitting there, being present to Me, is enough? Follow My lead on this today, practicing being comfortable in your own skin without “works”. Be My tangible light in the world, brightening the experience of others you encounter. Take joy in this simple kind of loving attentiveness.
