In Blessings, Faith, God knows you, Reliance

Daughter, do you know how much I want to give you?

The Kingdom is yours when you believe,

When you rely on me and walk with me.

I want to give you everything.

You are my daughter, my beloved.

Don’t you love to give to those you love?

You get that from me, child.

Hold your hands open to receive what I have for you.

I give good gifts.

I give gifts just for you because

I know you.

I know what your heart needs and wants.

I know what will give you joy.

Don’t expect my gifts to be what you receive from the world.

Those gifts are temporary, fleeting.

My gifts last.

I give you gifts that grow and change and stay.

I give you gifts that evolve.

I give you gifts that are more.

Keep your hands open today, child.

Plant your garden

In Feeling vs. believing, God is with you, God's timing, Jeremiah, Trust, Waiting

Daughter, I’m right here.

I’m right beside you, never to leave.

Your accomplishments will come and go.

Your assignments will change.

But build your home.

Plant your garden.

Don’t waste away on longing.

What you long for is given to you freely.

What you long for has been yours since the day you believed.

Freedom.

Love.

Peace.

Joy.

Rescue.

They’re all yours, right here, right now.

Believe it and you’ll see it.

You might even feel it.

To feel won’t always bring joy,

But to know will.

To know me, to believe me, will.

Believe me.

Come and believe me.

Daughter, I love you. You can believe that.

Daughter, have joy where you are.

You only see the misery, the mediocrity.

Find the joy.

I have it there for you.

Right there,

In the middle of pain,

In the middle of disappointment,

In the middle of waiting.

Waiting doesn’t mean you have to wait for joy.

Joy comes with every morning I give you.

Daughter, it’s right there.

You don’t have to look far to find it.

Find me, and you’ll find joy.

Going is resting

In Faith, Fear, God is with you, Move forward, Rest, Worry

Let’s go, daughter.

There is so much for us to do together.

Don’t hold back.

Come with me.

Let me guide you through the steps.

You won’t fall.

Be brave when I tell you to come.

Walk to me, and you’ll know the steps to take.

Walk to me, and you’ll know that going

is resting.

Stop and rest now, child.

Focus on me.

Just me.

I renew you.

You can do today.

And you can do tomorrow.

You can do each step I have for you.

You can move forward with me.

I’ll hold you the whole time.

I’ll love you the whole time.

See Matthew 14:22-33
