Jeremiah 17:7-8

Accept

You are a gift to me, daughter.

When I made you, I was

Delighted.

I still am

When I’m with you.

That doesn’t change,

Doesn’t wane.

Before you were born,

After you die,

My love remains

Constant.

Don’t believe the lie that

You’re not good enough,

That you shouldn’t have my gifts.

Daughter, I want to give them to you.

I want to help you.

I want to be with you.

Let me take care of you.

Let me give what I have for you –

All of it.

I won’t hold back.

Don’t hold back from me.

Daughter, I invite you.

Accept.

Accept and hold on.

Accept and walk with me.

Accept and know

Joy.

Replicas

Trust me, daughter.

Nothing in this world will get you

What faith will get you.

So remain in me.

Surrender what comes between

You and me,

And you will have what you want,

What you ask for.

Trust that I love you,

That I provide,

That I give gifts.

Daughter, I give the best gifts.

Seek them, and don’t settle

For replicas.

The world will give you nothing and expect

Everything.

I give you everything

And only want

You.

Trade

Daughter, only I can bring you what you want,

In ways you do not understand,

Sometimes do not expect.

Sometimes there is pain before the gift.

Sometimes there is waiting.

Sometimes there is heartache and tears and joy that seems

Distant.

But it isn’t.

Joy is near because

Joy is always with me, like

Hope is always with me.

Hope is a gift, and

It’s free.

Hope costs you nothing of value.

Yes, it can be uncomfortable.

It can be hard.

But what you trade for hope is

finite, temporary, ultimately

Useless.

Hope is never this way.

It will keep you standing, walking, running,

Dancing.

Align

Daughter, I will give you what you want

When your heart aligns to me.

It is only through me that you can have

What you truly desire.

In your heart,

You don’t desire this world and its empty promises.

You don’t desire the hollowness of its fruit.

You desire what is good

And worthy and meaningful, and in that,

I am there.

Truly, you desire what is good because

I made you and your heart.

The world will try to convince you of what you want

And will tell you it’s free.

But there is always a cost, and

It is heavy.

It is a burden I don’t want for any of my children.

But daughter, in me, there aren’t heavy burdens

Or empty promises

Or useless things.

In me, you find what you are looking for,

What you desire.

Stand

Daughter, why should you be afraid?

Why should you think you are so

Unimportant?

Oh, daughter, put those lies away,

Cast them to hell.

Daughter, nothing

Will change my love for you.

Nothing will keep me away from you.

Remember your right standing.

You have right standing with me,

So stand up.

Don’t cower.

Don’t shrivel or waste away.

Stand.

All three

I love when you find me, daughter.

We celebrate when you find me,

When you become aware,

When you realize

I’ve been there all along.

We don’t make fun –

We rejoice.

We know that in the awareness and

The tears and

The letting go,

You are being made stronger.

We love to see you grow.

We love it because it brings you closer to your destiny,

Closer to us.

Daughter, we are all for you.

Father, Son, Holy Spirit.

All three.

We are one sovereign force who

Loves you.

And still

Daughter, I am not selective

In my love.

I don’t love “only if.”

No.

I love no matter what.

Unconditionally.

When you sin,

When you’re surrounded by sin,

When you’ve been ridiculed,

When you cause hurt or anger,

When your thoughts center on yourself,

When you long for more,

I am there.

I see it.

I know it.

And still,

I love you.

See Psalm 32; Psalm 117; Psalm 145:8-9; Romans 3:9-31, 4:13-14, 5:1-11 and 18, 7:14-25, 8:1-4 and 31-39

Just as you are

Daughter, why are you afraid

I’m not near?

Why do you think

I would leave you?

Daughter, never.

Never.

No matter where you go,

No matter what you do,

You are mine.

Daughter, I need to be with those I love.

Yes, I love you, just as you are.

When you are unlovable,

Undesirable,

Different,

Cast aside,

Too much,

I am there because

I love you,

Just as you are.

Nothing to separate

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

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.
