Love Yourself, Too

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

Today is supposed to be about expressing love to others. I want to emphasize that it’s okay and essential to love yourself, too. Your body has been working well for you, so be kind to it today and deflect any tendency to criticize any part of yourself. Replace that habit with one of gratitude for all that you are still able to do in life. Embrace your age, and learn to listen and attend to your body and spirit just as much as you pay attention to others. Life is a gift encased in this “self”, so the more you treasure and nurture it, the more freely you can share love well with others.

I Help Repair Messes

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

I am your God, – with you and for you, – always present at attention. This means you no longer have to worry about being ‘perfect’ or ‘worthy’. I notice all of your good intentions and thoughtful ways. I also see the screw-ups and mishaps, unintentional or humanly flawed as they are. The bottom line is that I want Good things for you, regardless of mistakes. I take messes and help repair them. Together we can ask for forgiveness as needed and deliver acceptance to others without holding back. Come to Me with the broken parts of life, in faithful hope that I will help things get better.

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.

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.

I Hear Your Deepest Wishes

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

I hear your deepest wishes. I long for you to find your ultimate fulfillment with Me, but I also know your human nature. Know that I have planted both kinds of desires in you and it’s OK to find pleasure in earthly things! Drink in the Light, atmosphere, sounds, and people I put in your path today. Be open to My love-song, and receive it with confidence that you are loved and will always be well cared for by Me. Be careful not to turn these experiences into an idol, though. Seek Me first and all else will fall into place with My hand upon your life. Find blessing in the gifts of today, knowing you are worthy of being the love of My life.

Nothing to Prove Today

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

There’s nothing you have to prove today. Start from there, and then move through your day in complete trust that you are A-OK and just the right person for whatever is in front of you. You can take a back seat when others need the lead or the limelight. All is well and you can be at ease, trusting My love for you just as you are.

What Are You Thirsty For?

/ Martha York / 1 Comment

You don’t have to miss a thing. However, many of the things you are trying to juggle may be exactly what is throwing you off. What are you pursuing these days: Perfection? Notoriety? Worth? Possessions? Relief from discomfort? A problem-free life? It’s easy to be distracted by these things, which are often unrealistic and will not inherently satisfy. Sit with Me and be fully present to our relationship first. I am drawing you to a different well. Seek Me first, and find Me with you, attentive to all of your needs and wants. I may refine your desires, but I see them all and I love you enough to send My well of living water. I know what you are thirsty for.

Deserving of Love

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

The little things you do add up. If I were to sum up all that you have done for the world and for Me, it would be as high as a mountain, – yet you cannot see as I see. Trust Me, that even in the little things…every dish you wipe, every person you listen attentively to, every dog you pet and weed you pull and task you complete…it all brings about My Goodness. My beloved child, I mean it when I say, “In you I am well-pleased”. Be kind in your inner voice today. You are very deserving of love.

Permission to Enjoy

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

Give yourself permission to enjoy things. There is no need to feel guilty or undeserving when good things come your way. I want you to experience joy and happiness and a life of ease, even though all of life will not be like this. Problems, losses, and challenges inevitably cycle through, but I still want you to be happy. Look for the gifts I place at your fingertips and give a nod of thanks to Me, your loving God, who provides all that you need and abundantly more than you could ever imagine or ask for.

Listen with an Intent to Understand

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

Be curious about all I have in store for you today. Instead of making judgements about those you encounter, listen with an intent to better understand and appreciate what they are sharing with you. Throw any hint of judgementalism to the wayside, including your own self-criticism inside your head. Allow yourself to be more at ease by accepting your own contribution as being worthy of attention and being enough for what is needed in the moment. All is well. You can trust that My hand is active in and all around your life.
