Today

Daughter, I know you want what is new. You want it so that it’s hard to enjoy today. Daughter, let go of wanting to pass today. Can you pass a day to get to another one? Can you jump forward to your fate? Can you jump backwards to change it? No, daughter, the only way is forward. Forward, my love, forward with me, forward into dark, light, redemption. Grace. Yes, daughter, it is another day, another day I know you wish you could miss. But daughter, all the days, all I have for you is good. Do you doubt it, my love? Do you doubt your Father has everything you need, each day? Do you doubt that this day is importunate? Important? Unimportant? No, daughter, none of it is important compared to who I AM. I alone make it important. My love, you must not dread today or tomorrow with its clamorous grind, its tasks, its quiet descent into loneliness, helplessness, doubt. Daughter, the day does not have to be the way you have imagined it. Your mind does not tell the end, the whole story. It does not have to lead to meaningless. It can lead to me. Every day. Every single day. Just open your eyes when you wake up. Do not stay asleep in the morning, in the night. Open your eyes to see what is ahead. Do not be beckoned to what is behind, what is in front of you begging to ruin, to trample, to slowly drag you into work, work, work, that leads to nothing. Daughter, close your eyes and find me, on those days. On this day. Close your eyes and see that where I AM is where you are. Where you are is where I AM. Daughter, do you see? Do you see that it is holy? Holy, in its difficulty, holy in its strife, in the struggle, in the pain, in the hope it brings. Yes, hope. Hope alone, my child. Hope is what will bring you home, home to light, to the place where all is seen, heard, believed, felt, touched, understood, appreciated. Daughter, it isn’t far away. It is here. I AM here. You are here, with me. So let’s go. Let’s go together into all the chaos and the dark and the light that’s shining in the only place that you need to be. Come through the forest with its darkened path, with its briars and trees, ominous and huge from growth, growth from water and sun and storms and rain and snow and light. Light. Daughter, come and see. Come and see that beauty is here. Today.

See Job 38-42; Psalm 118:22-24; Proverbs 14:10; Proverbs 15:15; Proverbs 16:20; Proverbs 16:26; Proverbs 20:12; Proverbs 20:24; Matthew 6:30; Matthew 6:34; Romans 8:28; 1 Thessalonians 5:5-9; James 4:14

Close

In Faith, I AM, Letting go, Listening to God, Seeing God, Trials and hardship, Trust

Daughter, if you could see

What I see,

You would know

The only way is

Through.

Believe in me,

That I see.

When you believe that I see

Then you will see,

But only after you’ve gone

Through.

Daughter, did I shy from difficult?

Did I stop when I felt

Pain?

My daughter, I felt more

Than pain,

Worry,

Suffering,

More than every insult, every bite of

Resistance.

Daughter, I felt so you could

See.

Do you see?

Close your eyes, and

Believe when you can’t

See.

What you feel does not change it.

What you experience does not push me

Away.

Whatever you believe makes me want

To draw near.

My daughter, my love,

I AM here,

And I see all that is for

You.

Do you not see?

Then close your eyes.

Close to all that

Distracts,

All that lies,

Shows what might.

Only I AM what is.

Believe what you saw

The day you chose,

The day I came for you,

Pain forgotten,

Cost forgotten,

Remembering you.

My daughter, believe.

Believe what I did so that we

Would never feel or be

Apart.

Close your eyes.

Close your eyes and see.

I’m larger, grander, more prominent

Than the darkness.

Do you see?

Do you know?

Do you believe?

My daughter, close your eyes.

Close your eyes so I may

Lead.

Close your eyes so I can show you

Everything.

Close your eyes so you will remember.

Close your eyes so you will see

What is, what will always

Be.

Outside of me, there is

Nothing to see,

nothing to do, nothing to

Be.

With me is everything.

Only close your eyes.

When you open, you will

See that

I will still

Be.

When you open, nothing will have changed

What you felt

With eyes closed,

When all was quiet,

When you felt the world go, felt everything disappear

Into darkness.

That was me, banishing

All that separates us.

Open your eyes, my love.

Open your eyes and

See

Feel

Know

Be.

See Matthew 13:1-23; James 1:2-18

Burn

By

On May 18, 2025

In I AM, In the world, not of it, Letting go, Listening to God

Daughter, you can’t listen unless

You let go.

Your mind is crowded,

And it’s hard to hear.

I speak loud, clear

When you truly

Listen.

It won’t always feel comfortable

Or safe

To clear, uncrowd.

But truly,

It is.

I AM here,

Above,

Beneath,

Behind,

Beside

Crowded

Noise, clutter.

I never left it,

Waited for you

To hear me.

Do you hear?

Do you hear, my daughter?

Do you hear

Hope?

Hope is loud, quiet,

Strong, soft,

Shouting, whispering,

Boisterous, unintrusive,

Demanding, relenting.

Uncrowd,

Free,

Let go,

Let me.

I will never fail.

I will never leave.

I will never be far.

I will be near when you feel lost,

Hopeless,

Because it is not lost, hope

Is never lost.

It is found.

It is championed,

Lit onto

A footpath, a spark

To fire.

The fire inside

My daughter

Burns

Even when she doesn’t hope.

Just think how bright

When she lets it burn.

Let go, my daughter.

Let go.

Let go and let it

Burn.

It’s time

By

On April 6, 2025

In Empowerment, Fear, God is with you, Listening to God, Move forward, Purpose, Work

Daughter, it’s time to move.

Take my hand.

You don’t have to move

Alone.

You can move

With me, and

It will be better.

I am with you

Everywhere.

There is nothing to fear.

Rejection

Is not from me.

Fear

Is not from me.

Hopelessness

Is not from me.

Meaninglessness, mediocrity

Is not from me.

Daughter, you know

What comes from me.

You have felt it.

Hope,

Joy,

Peace,

Confidence,

Salvation,

Solace,

Gratitude,

Clarity,

Love.

You know it, child.

You know it because

You have them.

You know it because

You have experienced,

Learned,

Walked

In it.

And you can do it again.

Your best days are not

Behind.

They are ahead,

With me.

The only way to get to them is

To take a step.

Don’t settle for

What they offer

Where you are,

Far less than what I want

For you.

Daughter, be brave,

And take the step.

A step is hard,

I know.

But the next ones follow,

So you can stride,

Run,

Love,

Work,

Live without

The ceaseless burden because

I will take it

So you can

Move.

See Philippians 1:6; Philippians 1:29-30; Philippians 2:12-18; Philippians 3:12-14; Philippians 4:6-9; Philippians 4:11-13; Philippians 4:19

I knew, I know

By

On March 23, 2025

In Faith, God knows you, God's plan, Less of me, more of God, Letting go, Listening to God, Trust, Waiting

Daughter, why do you think

You will miss my direction?

You have heard me before

So clearly,

And you knew.

Why do you think

You won’t hear me again?

Daughter, you do not have to be

Good enough

To hear.

You do not have to

Measure up

To be near.

You cannot earn

My favor, even when

You believe.

I give to you because

I love you.

Oh, daughter, nothing you have

Is from you.

Nothing you have

Is from your hands.

What you have

Is given.

Material and immaterial.

Tangle and intangible.

Visible and invisible.

Seen and unseen.

Felt and unfelt.

Heard and unheard.

It all comes

From me.

I knew,

I know

you, and

Those I have for you.

I knew,

I know

How it will start,

How it will end,

How you will

Know.

Ready

Are you ready, daughter?

Be ready to see.

Be ready to come.

Be ready to witness and share.

It will come to fruition,

All your work,

All my work.

Just give the work to me, and

Let me do the rest.

You can trust what comes

From my hand.

Just take it, and

You’ll see.

Oh, daughter, you will see

More than you can imagine,

More than you can ask.

I do more when

You come with me.

So come, and

Be ready to go.

Come, and you’ll see

All I have for you.

You’ll see the gifts,

The good things,

The glory that awaits,

And you’ll know

It’s me.

Daughter, no one else

Can do

What I’m going to do.

That’s why it’s important to stay,

Because then,

You’ll know

And tell others.

Trust me, daughter.

Don’t be afraid.

Just come, and

Know.

Know me.

Know who

I AM.

Clear

By

In Empowerment, God is with you, I AM, Letting go, Listening to God, Move forward, Trust

Daughter, where I AM,

Where I call,

Where I beckon,

Is where you

Thrive.

It is not confusing or

Hard to see.

With me, all is

Clear.

That doesn’t mean there won’t be

Obstacles.

They will block

Your sight,

Be bigger than

What you’ve imagined or

Prepared for.

But let me clear

Your sight.

Let me give you

A light.

Let me make the way

Clear.

With, without

By

On February 16, 2025

In Desires, Faith, God is with you, I AM, Less of me, more of God, Listening to God, Move forward

Daughter, don’t be afraid that

I won’t be with you.

Whatever road you take,

I will be there.

Close.

But if you walk

With me,

You will go farther.

You will feel me,

Hear me,

See me,

Everywhere.

When you go

Your way,

I’m still there, but

You won’t hear, see,

Feel.

With me,

You can listen, perceive,

Sense.

Where I take you is not

Distracting.

With me, you can focus.

With me, you can lead.

Don’t be lured by what feels easy.

Remember it’s not.

Without me,

It’s harder.

Without me, it makes

No sense,

No progress.

Daughter, come with me.

I will take you where

I want you to be, and it is

Where I AM.

Even more

By

On December 22, 2024

In Chosen, Desires, Dreams and callings, God knows you, Identity, Letting go, Listening to God, submission, Trust

Daughter, why is it so important that

It must belong to you?

You are more than

What you clutch.

What you hold

Does not define,

Does not fulfill,

Does not identify.

Only I can hold all of it.

Only I can hold

My daughter,

My love,

My chosen,

My masterpiece.

You are more than

What you hold,

What you desire,

What you dream.

Yes, daughter,

Even more.

Strength to submit

By

On November 3, 2024

In Empowerment, Go to God, Less of me, more of God, Listening to God, submission

Daughter, submit and come with me.

“Submit” is not a word you like, but

It is not what you think.

In submission, there is power.

My power.

My power serves

The weak,

The meek,

The ones who serve.

My power does not serve those

Who believe they don’t need it.

My power does not dominate for selfish gain.

My power defeats evil.

My power lives in you, daughter.

When you submit to it,

You have it.

You have it to do good,

To love,

To share light.

Submission is not

An act of weakness.

It is the way to strength,

Real strength,

In me.

No one is stronger.

Why wouldn’t you want that strength

To dwell in you?

Daughter, let me dwell.

See Psalm 32:8-11; Isaiah 55:8-9; Matthew 10:38-39; John 13:1-17; John 14:15-26; Romans 8:5-17; 2 Corinthians 3:4-5; Ephesians 5:21-33; Colossians 3:18-24; James 4:5-8; 1 John 4:4
