Let It Go

My Precious Daughter,

Do not dwell among the cobwebs of your past. Do not let your thoughts wander back to times and situations for which you have been forgiven.

Beloved, I went to the cross for no other reason than to submit Myself as a propitiation - an appeasement - for your sins. You have been forgiven, and each time you allow yourself to dwell on the past, you open up the wounds and scars that have been healed by My blood.

What good does it do for you to dwell on that past? What peace does it bring? What rest do you receive?

My beloved, child, I took the stripes on My back and nails in My hands so that you could be set free from guilt, worry and sin. Receive this gift which has been so freely and bountifully given to you today.

Be free of your guilt and shame, beloved, it is not your portion. Let go of your past, breathe in the present and rejoice in a future of hope, promise and joy.

I love you.

Why Do You Doubt?

My Beautiful, Precious Daughter,

Where would you be now without Me? How would your life be different if I had not grabbed your hand so you could walk with Me? Beloved, I am here - even in the silence - I am here. When answers and resolutions do not come as quickly as you desire, that does not mean I have turned My back on you.

I see you giving, I know your finances are dwindling. I know your desire a job. I know your energy is spent, and your hope is hanging by a thread. Beloved, if I have promised to provide for you, if I have made a covenant to care for your needs, why do you doubt Me? I have said I am not a man that I can lie. I have proven Myself over and over again. My Word says My promises are "yes" and "amen". Why do you doubt?

Dear one, each day is filled with it's own struggles. When you do not constantly fix your eyes on Me, when you allow other distractions to take your focus off of your Lord and Savior, when you give in to the cry of your flesh before seeking My will, your life becomes chaotic, empty and off course.

My precious daughter, when you lay it all at My feet, when you seek My face, My will, My guidance, life is calm, your heart is at rest and you once again have direction.

Take a moment today, beloved, to truly give over all your worries, all your concerns, all your issues. I will take them and give you the ability to stand, walk and breathe again.

All is not lost, beloved. I am always here. Give your burdens to Me and I will give you my peace.

I love you.

Worry Not

My Precious Daughter,

When fear, worry or doubt seek to overtake your mind, remember whose you are. Fix your thoughts on the one who has given you life. Fix your mind on the one who has eternity awaiting you. Fix your gaze on your loving Protector, your soon and coming King, your Heavenly Father.

Rest in Me, beloved, for I have not given you a spirit of fear, but of power, love and a sound mind. There is nothing...nothing that can snatch you from My grasp. And, there is no situation so powerful in which I cannot give you peace.

You are My beautiful and treasured child. You are the apple of My eye and the desire of My heart. I am here, dear one, to put your heart to rest in a a worrisome circumstance. It is Me, dear one, who will remove all your doubt as you put your trust in Me.

Precious daughter, today as you lay everything at my feet remember I am the source of your protection, provision and peace. I am the grace, mercy and love for every aspect of your life. Come to Me, beloved, put all your faith in Me, in every circumstance. I will not fail you.

I love you.

I Am Your Way Out

My Precious Daughter,

When I tell you that I am here for you, I mean I AM here for you in every situation.

I know your life has struggles and temptations that seem unbearable, but, dear one, I am here for you. In the midst of those difficult times call on Me, and I will make a way out. I will save you from that which seeks to overtake your mind, body, and soul.

When you feel as if you are in a room with no windows, no doors, no way out, fall to your knees and cry out to your Savior, the one in whom you put all your faith and trust. Set your mind on Me, beloved; and behold, I will provide the means of escape. I will lead you to the path of righteousness - the door from which you may flee into My arms of love.

I am everything you need in every situation. No temptation is too great for Me; no struggle is impossible for My hand. If I can calm the raging sea, how much more can I do for you in your circumstance. When you put your faith and trust in Me, I am able to give you rest and the peace that passes all understand.

Dear one, when your world appears bleak and the darkness overtakes you, reach for My hand of love and I will lead you to the shadow of My wings. There you will find the peace, rest and freedom from calamity that you so desire. Take time to call on Me and watch and see what I do.

Beloved, My deliverance is for you. My rest is for you. I am always here for you.

I love you.

You are Forgiven

My Precious and Beautiful Daughter,

How I love you - deeply, perfectly, wonderfully. Many times you have turned your back on Me, yet I never stop loving you. Many times you have chosen to walk a path that leads away from righteousness, yet I never stop loving you. Many days you opt to skip spending time in prayer and worship, yet I never stop loving you.

Beloved, you are a rare and perfect jewel in My crown. Your beauty is immeasurable to Me and your heart is My treasure. I long to pour out all of who I am to you each day, so that as you walk in My glory you will shine like the diamond that I have made you to be.

Dear one, each stumble, each fall is yet another opportunity for Me to prove My love and faithfulness to you. Each time you turn your back to Me is another chance for you to know how great, how deep and how real My love for you truly is. And, each time you make a decision to walk with Me allows you to grow deeper, know Me more and experience all of who I am.

Beloved, I do not hold anything against you that has been laid at My feet of forgiveness. I do not carry the ugliness of your past or dwell on the mistakes that you have made. No, precious daughter, I have forgiven and forgotten those things for which you have repented. What I see is beauty and wholeness.

Do not allow the thoughts of your past to linger. Do not let the enemy of your soul condemn you with the lies he speaks. Come to Me, lay your past at My feet and bask in the forgiveness and wholeness that is freely available to you. You have been forgiven - washed clean by the blood of My precious Son, Jesus. Walk in the fullness of that love and forgiveness. Discard the thoughts of your broken past and dwell on the completeness and wonder of who you now are in Me.

My beautiful, precious child, you are My heart's desire. You are everything I want. I have forgiven you, I am perfecting you daily and I am here with you always.

I love you.

Romans 8:1 - There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.

My Precious Daughter,

How I delight in your tarrying with Me. I long to build your confidence in hearing My voice and in knowing and doing My will. Have patience, dear daughter, and remember as I have said in the past, the more time we spend together, the more that you will receive - the more that will be revealed to you. Be diligent to spend time in the Word and to take time to hear from Me. I am faithful to speak, to hear and to answer your prayers.

Beloved, take time to pray when situations in your life become difficult. You will not only find more peace in those circumstances, but you will also be more equipped to deal with them and see the solutions. I am the only true source to happiness, peace, joy and righteousness in EVERY circumstance in your life. Abide in Me and I will abide in you - providing you with everything you need. And, don't forget the armor each day. For it is the armor of God which covers you body, mind and spirit - as my blood covers you - in all situation.

Dear one, I am aware of all things. Remember I love each one with all My heart - I love YOU with all My heart. Together we can work through the toughest of circumstances, create answers; and yes, even miracles.

We are together - I am with you every moment. Call out to Me and I will answer. I love you, dear daughter, My sweet precious child.

I love you.

Just a Song

My Precious Daughter,

My beautiful and treasured child, I love to see you praise Me with your heart of love. I delight in hearing the utterances of your lips. I am filled with joy at the sound of your voice singing praises to Me. I rejoice as you are filled with peace and wonder while you bask in My presence.

This, dear one, is a glimpse of your inheritance. A taste of the things to come. When every moment will be filled with praise, singing, peace and joy. As you delight in worshiping Me, I delight in receiving the glory of those praises. It is like sweet incense. The aroma is perfect and utterly satisfying. It fills My temple and lingers for a time, until next you come and do it all over again.

I am so pleased when you worship. I am so delighted when you are spilling over with My goodness; with My love. Oh, precious daughter, how I long for you to continue this daily. Oh, how I desire to fill you up to overflowing every moment you devote to worshiping Me.

Beloved, imagine if you make this a daily routine. Imagine if you spent just a short time each day singing and worshiping the Lord your God - beyond your regular prayer time - a time of worship and praise - just the two of us - just a song. The smile you feel in your heart, during those times would be permanent. The peace that surrounds and envelopes you would cover you continually. Take time, dear one, not just to pray and read the Word, but to worship Me with all that you have, and your countenance will be lifted.

I take pleasure in sitting with you, but, oh, to dance with you is even greater. Press in, beloved, beyond the normalness of your routine. Bask in the glory of My presence. Sing songs, dance and breathe in every part of who I am. Your life will change - your outlook will grow brighter.

My child, My daughter, delight in Me and I will give you the desires of your heart. Come dance with Me; come sing with Me.

I love you.

I Am Here

My Precious Daughter,

I see your broken and scarred heart. I see the anguish in your soul over circumstances for which you have no control. Beloved, I am here.

And, while I am here I do not just stand beside you in these trials. No, dear one, I scoop you up and hold you. I place you under the shadow of My wing. I cover you and watch over you; I guard your heart.

And know, beloved, that nothing can snatch you out of My hand. No one can pull so hard that you are forced from My arms of love. No circumstance can cause you to be flung from the covering of My love.

My beloved child, these trials are but momentary. And, while the pain often seems too much to bear, rest in Me and I will see you through. Fix your eyes upon Me, dear one, and every dark cloud will turn to sunshine. Trust in Me and I will not only make the way clear for you, but I will make it straight. Rest in Me, beloved, and I will give you peace in the midst of your storm.

Have faith, dear one, for I am here. I have not left you to flounder on your own. I am here and I am covering you. I am here!

I love you.
