Jeremiah 17:7-8

Details

Daughter, you are worried over details.

Breathe.

Loosen your grip.

Let time go, my love.

Do I not hold it?

My love, you have all you need. Guilt is not needed. Rushing and striving are not needed. Predictions and assumptions are not needed.

All you have is all you need.

Would I have made you any differently? Would I not have given you more, if more was needed?

Oh, my daughter, why do you believe you are lacking? What is it you lack?

Beauty? Time? Skill, knowledge, courage?

Wisdom? Wealth? Experience?

Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control?

Confidence?

Daughter, think of these things. Think of where they come.

Do they come from you?

Do they come from man or woman?

Do they come from beast or air or water or earth?

My daughter, where does any of it come from?

I have created. You will create. You are my daughter, designed to do so.

Would I not give you what you need?

Would I cut short your time before you could accomplish it?

No, my love. It is all, all from me, to you.

Will you accept it?

Will you grow with it?

Will you take my gifts and use them?

Use them, my love. Use them that others may know. I know this excites you. You have not been made just to create but to give. You so eagerly want to give. It is what I made you to do. It is why you move faster, plan for more.

It is why you do everything.

You desire to give what you create.

From where does this come, my love?

Why would I deny it to you? Why would I withhold or dangle it, only to take it away?

My love, you know this is not how I work. You know love is not that.

Daughter, you will be amazed at what you can do. I want you to do it. You cannot be stopped, unless you will it. Do not believe the lie of guilt and absence of me. My daughter, you have nothing to fear. Nothing to think outside of what I give to you. It is all, my love.

All.

Now do not despair.

Do not believe you are done or that time is slipping away. We move with time. We move with you. Not without. With you. Within.

With me, with us, with you, with all. Daughter, it is truly, wonderfully, amazingly all.

Do you believe it?

Do you accept it?

Will you keep saying “yes”?

My preferred Bible translation is the New Living Translation, so all links will be in that version.

Closer and away

I’ll show you, daughter.

I’ll you show you the way, away from

Emptiness,

Worry,

Strife.

Away from

Meaningless

Work,

Worry,

Fear.

No rushing,

No stressing, just

Me.

Come on, daughter.

Let’s do today

And tomorrow

And all your days

Together.

Let’s celebrate each one because

With each one,

You get closer.

Closer to your destiny,

Your purpose,

Your assignment.

Closer to me.

Release and rest

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.

Escape

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.
