My Precious Daughter,
Yes, I chose you! I chose you before everything. Before the foundation of the earth, I picked you to be mine. I formed you myself - with my own hands - in your mother's womb. I numbered the hairs on your head and I numbered the days of your life. I know the plan I have laid out for you; I know the beginning and the end.
I know the sorrow, the pain and the heartache you have experienced. I have captured each tear and am here by your side to collect any more that may fall. I have seen you through trials and turmoil, poor choices and wrong direction. I have guided you back to the path of My will and have carried you when you were to weary to go on your own.
I have danced with you, celebrated with you. laughed with you and I sing over you. I have filled you with joy overflowing, and I have rejoiced in every victory. I have watched you grow from an infant ... to a girl ... to a woman; and I will be watching and walking with you through every step of the rest of your life.
Yes, precious one, I chose you - from the beginning because I knew you were exactly who I wanted.
You are My daughter, My beloved child, a princess in the kingdom of Heaven and a treasure in My heart. Nothing and no one can ever take that from you, beautiful one. You are My daughter - I chose you.
I love you.
Eph. 1: 4 - 6 (Amplified) - 4Even as [in His love] He chose us [actually picked us out for Himself as His own] in Christ before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy (consecrated and set apart for Him) and blameless in His sight, even above reproach, before Him in love. 5 For He foreordained us (destined us, planned in love for us) to be adopted (revealed) as His own children through Jesus Christ, in accordance with the purpose of His will [because it pleased Him and was His kind intent] -- 6[So that we might be] to the praise and the commendation of His glorious grace (favor and mercy), which He so freely bestowed on us in the Beloved.

Lay Your Head in My Lap and Your Burdens at My Feet
My Precious Daughter,
Do not fear the things which you do not know. Do not dwell on the thoughts of future events or troubles which are uncertain. Today has enough troubles of its own. Tomorrow may be entirely different.
Beloved, My plan for your life has hope and promise. Each day that passes is a step in the fulfillment of that plan. This plan is not for your harm or destruction. It is for your future and your hope. Do not allow the thoughts of the enemy to take hold of you and weave his fear into your mind. Trust in the One whose promises are "Yes" and "Amen." Trust in the One who created your with love; out of the beauty of His heart. Trust in the One who never leaves nor forsakes you. Trust in the One who has conquered sin and death.
As today's troubles unfold, lay them at My feet and walk away knowing I am here to take care of all your needs. Watch as My hand moves in all your situations providing a way out into My place of refuge. Take rest, dear one, under my wings of love. Lay your head on My lap and your burdens at My feet.
Do not fear what tomorrow may bring. Embrace today. Grab My loving hand and walk confidently knowing I am with you and all will be well.
I love you
Proverbs 3:5 - Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct your paths.

This Day
My Precious Daughter,
A day, it is all you have before you. This one whole day full of it's own worries, adventure, promise. A day, this day, nothing can take it from you. It may be planned, yet still unknown. It may be mapped out, yet the course may change. This day, the day that I have created just for you. A day as familiar as the last, yet unlike any other.
How will you approach this day, beloved? How will you walk, think, breathe as each moment passes? To whom will you dedicate this day? Where will your alliance be? Who will you allow to be your guide?
As you walk out this day, where will you turn when the fork in the road appears? How will you know which direction is the one you should take? And, what if, by chance, your choice is not the right one? How will you get back to the path from which you veered?
My beloved child, I have made this day for you. It is no longer, no shorter than the last. The sun will rise and set just as it has every other day. The moon will take it's place and illuminate the evening sky as it has since the beginning. The earth will turn and nature will flourish. Yes, today is much like every other. And, yet, dear one, you have the ability and the privilege of making choices that will shape this day uniquely. As My beloved child, you have promise of peace and the anticipation of joy. You may choose righteousness or you may choose sin. This day, which I have created, can be uniquely yours in every way.
Won't you take a moment to dedicate this day to the One who is it's author. Spend some time with Me today, beloved, and set your walk on the right path. Let Me set you on the right path. Let Me guide you through each event. Let Me be your source, your light, your True North.
I am here, dear one, waiting to walk through this day with you. For this is the day I have made just for you.
I love you.
2 Corinthians 9:16 - Therefore we do not loose heart. Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day.

For Matt and Theresa - A Wedding Blessing
My Precious Children,
A joyful day is ahead. The plans and preparations will soon culminate in the festivities for this wedding.
The joining of your two lives has been long awaited by many. My hand has been on each of you since the beginning - every circumstance, every heartache, every celebration, every victory; and My hand shall not be moved as you begin this new chapter in your lives.
The covenant you make today is intimate, genuine and sacred. It has been ordained and is now being fulfilled. It is blessed by the words of your vows and covered by the shed blood of Jesus. As you two precious children walk away joined as one, a thousand angels rejoice.
Oh, the plans I have your lives. Your future as lovers, partners and servants in My kingdom. Abundant blessings shall I pour out upon you. Great things lie ahead for you, Matt and Theresa. And, your families will stand and watch with joy as you live out the promise that is set in motion this day.
My covering is over you, My fortress around you, My love poured over you. You are blessed. Your future is secure, bright and promising. And, above all you are loved beyond measure.
I love you.
"For I know the thoughts and plans I have for you, says the Lord, thoughts and plans for welfare and peace and not for evil, to give you hope in your final outcome. Then you will call upon Me, and you will come and pray to Me, and I will hear and heed you." - Jeremiah 2,9:11, 12 (Amplified Bible)

My Grace is Sufficient
My Precious Daughter,
Once again I say, My grace is sufficient for you; for this day. As you step out today with all the things you have planned to do, remember My grace is sufficient. As you fall short of time, talent or treasure, remember My grace is sufficient. As your memory wanders back to the loss of beloved family members and the question of their eternity, remember My grace is sufficient. As the enemy attempts to use his wiles against you with temptation, regret or shame, remember My grace is sufficient.
Dear one, long ago I sent My beloved and sin-free son to hang on a cross; His arms outstretched in love. In agony He hung there to take away death's sting, to conquer sin and to show My love for you. His crucifixion and death were not in vain. And, His resurrection, beloved, was the promise that My grace is sufficient.
Dear daughter, as you walk through this day, whatever situation, problems, decisions arise remember I am always with you and My grace is sufficient.
I love you.
Eph. 4:7 - But to each one of us grace was given according to the measure of Christ's gift.

For Today
My Precious Daughter,
You are beautiful, faithful and so full of life. I delight in our time together. I take joy in our walking together through each day. Beloved, our relationship is as sweet incense in My throne room. Your praise, your worship, your prayers are precious gems in My hand.
I stand ready to do battle with your enemies.. I sit quietly and listen as you pour out your heart in prayer. I rejoice in your triumphs, your successes, your heartfelt delight. And, I mourn in your sorrow, your heartaches and your pain.
Remember, dear one, I am always here. Here with a glorious plan for your life. A plan of promise, a future of hope, a life of beauty, serenity and peace beyond the measure of your thinking. How wonderful it is to know that one day you will be at home with Me, and all earthly things shall fade to make way for the promises and majesty of Heaven.
Beloved, as you go about your day, remember I am here to guide you, to lift you up, to hold you, to sing over you. There is nothing that this day holds of which I am not aware.
Walk confidently, dear one, and know I am with you today and always.
I love you.

The Beauty of Who You Are
My Precious Daughter,
Oh, how I love you so.
In the midst of meltdowns, anxiety and tantrums - I love you. When you are silly, giggling and childlike - I love you. When you are quiet, contemplative, meditating - I love you. As your heart wells with mercy, compassion for others and aches for righteousness - I love you.
You are beautiful in My eyes. Not only outwardly - because I have made you unique with beautiful qualities and your own special look. But, beloved, inwardly your heart, is also uniquely and wonderfully made in My image - truly a masterpiece to behold. There is nothing about you, My dear precious daughter, that does not shine with beauty when I see you. And, beloved, those times when you look at yourself with disdain, lacking the ability to see the priceless, beautiful masterpiece that you are, still I stand in wonderment of the loveliness of you.
When your heart and your mind give in to your flesh. When you walk outside My will, when your choices scream of everything other than righteousness. When you can't seem to find your way back to Me, to My arms, your beauty is not lost - it is not gone never to return. It is quite simply masked, covered, washed over with the dirt and filth of earthliness.
Beloved, come to Me today. Let me wash you clean. Let Me place the garments of peace, joy and righteousness upon you. Let Me lead you back to that place of utter beauty - the way I created you - in My perfect image. Let us dance and rejoice, celebrating the beauty of who you are.
Come wash yourself clean, come dance with Me and let Me show you once again how truly beautiful and adored you are, My beloved.
I love you.

All Will Be Well
My Precious Daughter,
Your heart heavy with worry and confusion is not your portion. The storm that has suddenly presented itself shall pass. But, as the winds blow and the rain pours down look up, beloved. For just beyond those gray clouds lie the blue skies, and soon to appear is the rainbow of My promise.
If I, the Lord your God, Creator of the Universe care enough to provide for the birds, the lilies and the grass, how much more do I care for you, My precious child. For I know all the things you need - I know all the things you desire. My Word says "... seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things shall be added to you." Seek My face, My will, My righteousness, dear one, and you will find your peace, your answers.
Precious daughter, this storm - this momentary setback - is moving like the clouds move across the sky. It is not forever. Oh, but, My promises, My love and My Kingdom are forever. Take a step back from your plans today, rest in My arms, seek My face, ponder My words. Find comfort under My wings of protection and know My provision for your life is forthcoming.
Do not sit in the lap of worry or turmoil, dear one. Take rest in who I am, what I promise and all will be well. Look up, see the clouds are already breaking; the blue sky is peaking through. The answer is there, beloved, in My face, My Word, My arms of love. All will be well.
I love you.

Take My Yoke
My Precious Daughter ,
What does it gain you to worry about things that are out of your control? What purpose does it serve for you to dwell on trouble and concerns, when the only answers lie in My hands? If I am the God that can change water to wine, place the moon and stars in the sky, know the number of hairs on your head and raise a dead man back to life; am I not the God that can bring answer to your prayers, provision for your need and peace to your situation?
Beloved, when I say bring it all to Me and leave it there, I mean it. When you place your burden and heartache at My feet, I want you to turn and walk away rejoicing and praising the God who is the answer and provider for your life.
Dear one, your heart that is heavy with worry is not supposed to be. My word says to lay your troubles at My feet. Come to Me when you are heavy laden and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you - exchange yours for Mine - and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly at heart and you will find rest for your soul. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.
Beloved, today won't you bring all your worries, lay them at My feet and walk away. Rest in knowing I will take care of all you need. Trust Me to provide the answers, the resources and the peace you need in every situation.
I love you, dear one, I love you.

My Sheep Know My Voice
My Beloved, Precious Daughter,
Why do you worry about hearing My voice? My word says "My sheep know My voice." You are, dear one, that sheep who knows and heeds the voice of the Shepherd. Trust in the words you hear, beloved. Line them up with My scriptures, My written Word. See how they align and speak truth to your life.
Beloved your faith is growing daily and being strengthened by My word. Do not allow discouragement or the voice of the enemy to disqualify you from the life of fullness which I am showering upon you. Instead, stand fast in faith knowing I will not let anything move you from My hand. My will for your life is to be ever with Me. To grow in trust, wisdom and love. As you are steadfast in seeking My face, I am faithful in speaking to you, protecting you and covering you with My love.
My ultimate gift was Jesus' sacrifice for your life - for your eternity. There is no greater gift than this; there is no greater love than Mine.
Stand fast, look Heavenward, have faith and know I am your God, your Farther, your Savior forever.
I love you.

Master Painter
My Precious Daughter,
As I have told you, I have marvelous plans for your life. While each day passes, part of this plan moves forward.
Beloved, you may not see the work I am doing each moment of your life, but I am working. Like a painter placing each stroke carefully and deliberately on His canvas until at last His masterpiece is complete and the beauty of His work is revealed.
Dear daughter, you are that canvas and I am the Master Painter. Each circumstance, each fire, each triumph you move through in your life is a stroke of My brush upon your canvas.
As you turn and look back at your life, you can see the colors of the painting - some dull and tragic, others vibrant and alive. As you move forward still other colors will blend together until at last the masterpiece will be complete.
And, within this great work are small works of art, which are beautiful and colorful - they make up who you are. My beautiful wonderful masterpiece. A rare and precious gem. A timeless work of art being perfected each moment, each breath, each stroke.
Beloved, as you walk through this day know that I, the Master Painter, am creating and perfecting the beauty of who you are. My brush is poised and the colors have been chosen. You are my masterpiece, my beautiful work of art.

Abba Father
My Precious Daughter,
I am Abba Father, your "daddy," your creator and the lover of your soul. I am your protector from all that seeks to harm you; all that schemes to rip you from My hand.
Dear child, climb onto My lap and rest your weary head. Take shelter under My wing and find peace. Bring all your burdens, lay them at My feet and find freedom. I love you, dear one, and there is no safer place to be than here in My arms.
When your life seems impossible. When you find your circumstances spinning out of control. When your heart is breaking as if it may burst. When all is so dark that you cannot find your way. When here is no where to turn, no choice to make, no relief in sight. Climb up into My lap. Allow Me to hold you, comfort you, sing over you. Find sanctuary in My arms, find peace in My still small voice. There is no greater place to rest. There is no safer place to live.
Come rest in Me, beloved. My arms are open wide. I am waiting.
I love you.

Find sanctuary in My arms, find peace in My still small voice. There is no greater place to rest. There is no safer place to live.
Come rest in Me, beloved. My arms are open wide. I am waiting.
I love you.

This is the Day that the Lord Has Made
My Precious Daughter,
Do not dwell on the past and your mistakes. You have asked for forgivneness. You are forgiven - move on. Do not dwell on what was and cannot be changed. Do not fret about what may be to come but has not yet happened. Bask in the light of this day - this moment in time. Wash yourself clean from what was, rejoice in what is and hope for what is to come.
Do you not know I love you more than anything else I have created. I know the number of hairs on your head. I know the depth of your heart and I watch everything you do.
Beloved, live today as the gift that is is. Given with care from the God that loves you. Take this moment to breathe in all the goodness of who I am. Then, walk out this day with the grace and mercy I so freely give.
Rejoice and be glad, dear one, for this is the day that the Lord has made!
I love you.
