Nothing to separate

By

On November 30, 2023

In Freedom, Letting go, Love, Rest

Daughter, there is nothing to separate us

When you truly rest.

So come to me.

Don’t feel guilty.

Don’t condemn yourself.

Just come.

Come and rest

With me.

Let me renew.

Let me restore.

Let me free you.

Let me be the lifter of

Burdens.

Let me be

The solace, the solution, the source of

Freedom,

The only way to peace.

I love you, daughter.

I say it truly,

Deeply,

Honestly,

Sincerely,

With all intentions of

Helping you,

Knowing you,

Being with you.

Rest in this.

Rest, knowing

I love you.

See Romans 8:31-39

Because you are free

By

On November 22, 2023

In Freedom, Letting go, Worry

Daughter, I love you

And I give you rest so that

You will have everything

I have for you.

Give me your body, your heart, your mind,

And let me renew you.

With me, there is renewal and peace.

With me, there are no burdens.

With me, you are free.

Free from burdens of the world,

Free from that boulder you’re told to push,

Free from worry.

Worry is not who I am.

Worry is a disguise of fear.

Worry is worn as a badge.

But it is false.

It is fear.

It is not from me,

So throw it away.

Throw it back to the world, back to our enemy because

You are free, my daughter.

See Psalm 34; Psalm 56; Matthew 6:25-34 and 11:28-30; John 8:31-36; Luke 10:38-41; Romans 8:1-6 and 12:1-2; 1 John 4:15-18 and 5:3-5; Galatians 3:22 and 5:1

Release and rest

By

On November 16, 2023

In Busyness, Rest, Work

Make your work holy, daughter.

Give it to me so I can bless it,

So I can guide you.

Do not clutch it

Or believe it only belongs to you.

It isn’t wrong to

Release it, to

Rest.

Take in my grace.

Accept my peace.

I provide them, no matter what you’ve done

Or haven’t done.

You will be fruitful

When you rest.

See Genesis 2:2-3; Psalm 127:2; Ecclesiastes 4:5-6 and 5:16-20; Matthew 6:24-30; Mark 2:27 and 6:30-44; Romans 3:27-28; Colossians 3:23-24

Escape

By

On November 8, 2023

In Busyness, Rest, Work

Daughter, come.

Come to me when you’re busy.

Come to me to escape from

What the world tells you is important.

It will tell you to “escape,”

But only I provide

Escape.

Busyness is bondage.

Yes, there are things to do.

But the things you do aren’t you.

Come to me to find

Yourself.

Come to me, and we will work

Together.

Come to me when you’re tired,

When there is rushing and hurrying and worrying.

Come to me when you’re not sure

If you’ll get it done.

I will help you.

I will open your eyes.

I will work

Alongside you.

Listen and let

In Listening to God, Trust

Daughter, listen.

Listen for me.

Listen to me.

Find joy in it,

In obedience,

In being with your Father.

Rest, read, write,

Absorb everything I show you.

It will only help you.

This is what I want to do today and

Always.

Let your heart rejoice.

Let it sing and praise and know me.

Let it go where I take it.

Let your heart stay with me.

Let it.

Enjoy

In God's timing, Joy, Letting go, Rest, Worry

For now, daughter, rest.

Enjoy today.

Enjoy what I give you.

Enjoy this time.

You’re forgiven and cleared to do so.

You always have been.

You always will be.

Don’t be afraid that nothing will get done.

It will.

And there will be joy at what we accomplish

Together,

All at the right time.

You’ll see

By

On October 4, 2023

In Dreams and callings, God is with you, Trust, Witnessing

Daughter, trust.

It’s not up to you.

It’s up to me, and

I love you.

I’m here with you, and

I’m not leaving.

It’s greater than what you see,

Than what many see.

Will you help them see?

Help them see what I’ve done for them, for you.

I equip you.

I give you all you need to do this because

There is nothing greater.

I’ll lead them to you, at

Just the right time.

You don’t have to strive.

You don’t have to work for the honor to help.

It’s already right there.

I’ll show you.

And you’ll see.

See Matthew 28

I don’t give up

By

On September 27, 2023

In Empowerment, Faith, God is with you, Reliance, Trust

Daughter, the tasks I give you are not burdensome.

They are designed for you and me,

Together.

I don’t give them to you and leave.

I don’t give up on you.

I don’t give up.

Did I give up on my children in the desert?

Did I give up after the wickedness, the flood, the idolatry?

Do I give up now?

Daughter, I am working every day,

In you, in all my children, simultaneously.

It is beyond your understanding,

But that does not make it less so.

See Genesis 8:20-22; Deuteronomy 8; Psalm 102:26-27; Proverbs 3:5-6; John 15:1-11; Romans 8:28; 1 Corinthians 3:5-9 and 13:7; 2 Corinthians 1:17-20 and 6:1-2; Philippians 1:6 and 2:13; James 1:2-4 and 17-18; 1 John 5:3-5

Whole

On September 13, 2023

In Faith, Fear, Listening to God, Rest

Daughter, how often do I tell you to rest?

You think there is too much to do.

It is only through my rest that you will accomplish anything.

I won’t give what you ask when you strive.

I won’t guide you when you insist on leading me.

Daughter, know my sovereignty.

Know that with me, you have everything.

You have my favor, child.

You don’t have to earn it.

You can fight.

You can move.

You can achieve.

But only with me.

Otherwise, it is fruitless.

It will only make you tired, susceptible.

With me, you are strong.

With me, your weaknesses are transformed.

Your mind, your heart, your body are made whole.

Nothing outside of me is whole.

See Genesis 2:1-3; Psalm 32; Proverbs 3:5-6; Ecclesiastes 4:5-6; Jeremiah 14:22 and 17:14; John 15:1-17; Matthew 7:7-11 and 11:28-30; 2 Corinthians 12:5-10; Ephesians 1, 2:8-10, and 3:14-20; Philippians 4:6-7 and 10-13; Colossians 2:8-10

I know, and still

In Feeling vs. believing, God knows you, Letting go, Rest

Daughter,

Everything you do, everything you say, everything you think –

I know it, and still,

I love you.

I want you close, to come with me.

It’s no trick.

It’s not too good to be true.

It’s not burdensome.

You don’t have to work extra hard to know me,

To be with me.

You only need to believe in me, in my sovereignty.

You only need to remember how I’ve worked

For you.

Take a breath.

Look for me, and

You will find me.

Forgive yourself,

Think of the good,

Pray, and

Rest, my daughter.

See Numbers 23:19; Psalms 34:17-18, 73, 139, and 145:17-18; Matthew 7:7-11 and 11:28-30; Romans 5:6-11 and 8:1-4; Galatians 3:21-29; Ephesians 2:1-10 and 3:12-20; Philippians 4:6-9; James 4
