Jeremiah 17:7-8

Category: Love

Always, faithfully

Listen to this week’s word

Daughter, don’t be afraid.

Don’t be afraid to speak and write.

Don’t be afraid to accept the glorious love I have for you.

Don’t ever hesitate to run to me.

No matter what you’ve done or even if you’ve done nothing wrong.

I enjoy holding you.

I enjoy you.

You are never too much.

I never tire of comforting you.

Don’t worry about time.

Don’t worry that you’ll miss me or something important.

This is important.

Chaos is around you, always. But I am not chaos.

I am grounded.

I am peace.

I am constant.

I am here.

I am always, faithfully here.

See Exodus 3:10-15, 14:13-14, 33:12-17; Deuteronomy 7:9, 31:8, and 32:1-4; Psalm 18:2-3, 19, and 30-33; Psalm 23; Psalm 27; Psalm 37:7; Isaiah 26:3-4; Jeremiah 1:4-10; Lamentations 3:22-26; Matthew 7:7-11 and 28:20; John 14:27; Acts 18:4-11; Romans 2:4; Hebrews 4:14-16 and 11:1-34; James 1:17-18 and 4:7-10; 2 Peter 3:8-9

Breathe and trust

Listen to a reading of the text below

Daughter.

Take a deep breath and trust me.

It’s going to be all right.

Believe in me. Believe that I hold you right now.

All your aches and pains will fade. All your worries can leave.

See, at this moment, I’m clearing them away. Clearing them away from your beautiful mind.

You need it to be clear so you can do the things I have for you. Keep it clear and clean and wonderful.

I make it wonderful.

I make you wonderful.

I think you’re wonderful, daughter.

My love for you has no bounds, no end. I’m right here with your spirit. My Spirit gives you life.

Yes, let those tears roll because I am here. Remember how they strengthen you?

Let go.

Let everything flow out with those tears and evaporate away.

You have nothing to fear, child.

Fear cannot dictate who you are, what you do.

See Exodus 33:12-17; Psalm 33:20-22, 34:10, 37:23, and 89:2; Isaiah 61:3; Matthew 6:25-34; Mark 11:22-25; John 3:16; Romans 8:15-18 and 8:28; 2 Timothy 1:7; 1 John 4:18

Ask me for a word

Listen to a reading of the text below

Daughter, I know you’ve asked for a word, and here it is.

Do not worry about the future. Nothing is uncertain with me. It only seems uncertain, but truly it is not. I know what will happen, and I know what has happened.

Relax, child. Why were you so afraid to ask me for a word?

I am your Father. I love you, and I love speaking with you.

You can do this with me anytime, no matter what you’ve done. I always like to talk with you, and I always have things to say to you.

When you love someone, you enjoy being with them and talking with them. Do not be afraid of me. Come to me boldly. Come to me often.

You don’t have to do a special ritual or be perfect to come to me. Remember? I came for people who need a doctor, not those who are healthy.

I come to you when you long for my voice. I love when you long for my voice and when you recognize it. This is deeper love than you’ve known. Don’t think of the love stories you know. Think of the love that comes from me, daughter.

This love is greater than all. It is the love that truly matters and where your idea of love begins.

I am the beginning. I am love. I am that I am. I am your Father, and I love you.

I am your Father and your love.

I am your savior and the one who died for you.

I am the one who cures all, who loves all, who guides all, who makes all.

And I made you. I’m so glad I did, daughter. I’m so glad I made you and placed you and love you. I’m so glad I made your mind and heart and body the way it is. I made you to represent me.

Don’t be afraid to represent me. Stand tall and represent me. Stand in front of a crowd and represent me.

Don’t be afraid. I will guide you. It will work out. I will use you as my vessel.

Just keep serving. Keep going. Keep representing. Keep seeking. Keep praying. Keep remembering.

Remember what I did for you because I love you. Remember the great joy ahead. Remember not to be afraid or accept fear of any kind. Fear is a lie.

Fear has no place in my plan, in my love, in my grace. Grace makes you free. Fear does not. Fear binds and weakens and stops everything. Fear will not bring you forward. Fear will keep you back.

Don’t worry about money. Keep giving. Don’t worry about work, but keep working. Don’t worry about where you’ll be in the future. I’ll take you where you need to be, and you’ll know it’s me. You’ll have peace, and you’ll know it’s where you’re supposed to be.

One day at a time, child. One day with me, then the next. Then the next. Then the next.

Let’s do every day together, daughter. Those make my days great – how about yours?

Don’t be afraid. I’m here. And I love you.

Keep remembering. Keep asking the Holy Spirit for help. He’s there. He’s your advocate. Welcome him and listen.

Remember I love you, and we’ll do this again, child. This isn’t the last.

There’s so much more to come. I see you smiling. I see you. I love that smile. Be joyful, daughter. I hold time, and I love you.

Go now. We’ll talk again soon.
