Jeremiah 17:7-8

The whole time

Daughter, seek me.

Seek my ways and pause

When you stray.

Pause and remember

Who takes care of you,

Who is right here.

I am always

Right here.

I never leave,

Never make you go on your own.

Daughter,

Never believe

You are on your own.

I am moving and thinking

And wandering and walking

With you,

The whole time.

I love you

The whole time.

See Genesis 9:12-17; Joel 2:12-13; Matthew 7:7-8; Luke 15:11-32; John 14:15-21

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.

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

My yoke, not yours

Listen to a reading of the text below

Daughter, why have you put off being with me?

I know you’re sorry for how you were today.

It’s okay.

There’s no condemnation, daughter.

I know it’s hard. I don’t underestimate how hard it is for you.

I know it is because of how I made you.

But don’t forget or shut out what I’ve told you.

Shift your focus away from the things that burden you.

They are temporary. They will not last.

Don’t you remember that I am willing?

See Matthew 11:28-30; Luke 5:12-13; Romans 7:14-25 and 8:1-17; 2 Corinthians 4:16-18; Philippians 3:12-14
