Jeremiah 17:7-8

Gifted

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.

Going is resting

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.

Take one step

Listen to this week’s word

Daughter, what is coming is great.

Keep moving forward and don’t worry about it.

Come to me every day.

Come to me when you need direction,

Even if it’s just to take one step.

Oh, daughter, I want to be with you in every step.

Wasn’t it so with your own sons?

You never wanted to miss their steps.

You never wanted to leave when they did something new.

You are my beloved.

I don’t want to leave you.

And I won’t.

See Exodus 3:10-12; Deuteronomy 31:6; Psalm 16:7-11; Psalm 116:8-9; Psalm 119:105; Proverbs 3:5-6 and 4:12-13; Jeremiah 10:23; Matthew 28:20; Romans 8:15-18; 2 Corinthians 5:7; Ephesians 2:10; Philippians 4:6-7

What I love most

Listen to this week’s word

Daughter, your heart is what I love most.

I know what it wants.

I know what excites it, and it is beautiful.

Daughter, you are beautiful.

What you’re doing now, with me, is beautiful.

Doesn’t it feel better?

Doesn’t it make more sense for you to be with me?

It does.

It does because I made you, because I know you.

I know what’s best for you.

I know the right time to take you to something new.

You have to trust me.

Remember that this is your calling.

To trust.

To love.

To know me.

To share it.

To show it.

See I Samuel 16:7; Psalm 23; Psalm 34:18; Psalm 37:3-5 and 23; Psalm 40:1-8; Psalm 51:10 and 16-17; Psalm 139; Proverbs 3:5-6; Jeremiah 17:5-10; Ezekiel 36:22-27; Matthew 22:37-40; John 2:23-25, 3:1-21, and 14; Ephesians 1:18; Philippians 4:6-7

Let go

Daughter, let go of what they think, what they want.

Let go of thinking you have to prove yourself.

You’ve shown yourself to me,

And that’s enough.

There is no one else who needs to see you like I do.

I am enough, daughter.

My love is enough.

My grace is enough.

Keep me close.

Keep my promises close.

Cling to them and let go of your plans.

Don’t turn to the world’s solutions.

They won’t work.

Daughter, you have me and my word.

There is nothing else you need to do my will.

Come to me with hands open.

Come to me ready to fill them with what I have for you.

The world will try to fill them, try to fix them to work more and harder.

You don’t need that.

No, all you need is me, for everything.

I am your provider. I am the one who loves you deeply, wholly.

No limit

Listen to this week’s word

Daughter, I know there is so much you want to do.

I know how your heart longs for more.

I know you.

I know your pain and your doubts and everything you’re questioning.

Be still.

Daughter, don’t be ashamed to cry.

Don’t pretend to be strong.

You can admit your weakness.

Come to me with your weakness.

Come to me when you can’t take any more,

No matter how soon you think it is.

I know your threshold.

I know your limits.

I have no limit.

I have no limit of how much I can help you.

Daughter, I can help you in everything.

There isn’t a single thing you have to do alone.

I am with you always.

Always.

It doesn’t matter where you are, what you’ve accomplished,

Or what you haven’t.

I’m still here.

See Exodus 3:11-14, 4:10-12, 13:17-22, and 14:1-14; Deuteronomy 8;  Psalm 139

Even now

Listen to this week’s word

Daughter, come to me now.

Your mind is racing, and you are afraid.

You are afraid of failing.

You are afraid of unhappiness.

You are afraid that you have been wrong.

Oh, my daughter, where is your faith?

Don’t push it aside for what the world has to offer.

Don’t push it aside when you think you can’t take any more.

Don’t push it aside to do things your way.

Remember that I am holding you.

Yes, even now, after you believe you’ve done everything wrong.

Yes, you make choices, and they’re not always right.

But let me redeem you and set it right.

Don’t worry that you can’t get back to me.

Daughter, you never left me.

You’ve known I’m here, yet you doubted.

Don’t doubt.

Don’t leave.

I will never leave.

Don’t give up on my plan.

Trust me.

Trust my way and my word.

See Deuteronomy 31:8; Psalm 34:1-7 and 18; Psalm 37:3-5, 7, 23-24, 34, 39-40; Psalm 138:8; Psalm 145:13-20; Proverbs 3:5-6; Isaiah 40:26-31 and 46:3-4; Matthew 6:25-34 and 16:21-26; John 20:24-29; Romans 8:1-2; Hebrews 10:19-23 and 32-39; Hebrews 11; 1 John 1:7-9
