Jeremiah 17:7-8

Category: Reliance Page 1 of 2

Choose

Daughter, don’t rely on your plans,

Your actions.

Rely on me.

Rely on my plan,

My power.

With me, you can do

Anything.

Without me, you will do

Nothing.

Choose, daughter.

I will not force you.

But know

What  I can do.

Let go

Of all you clutch and

Come.

See Proverbs 3:5-6; Proverbs 16:9; Matthew 19:16-30; John 6:26-35; John 6:63; Romans 8:28-30; Philippians 4:13

Found

Daughter, I love your heart.

I love your hope.

I love when they are abandoned

To me.

In abandonment,

You are found.

Your future is found.

Your next steps

Are found.

Your calling, your gifts

Are found.

Your dreams come to life.

Your heart,

Made for so much more,

Awakens.

Your strength,

Given by me,

Intensifies.

Your confidence

Arrives

When you find

Me.

Nor should you

Daughter, you are so loved,

So precious to me.

And nothing will change it.

Daughter,

Lean into it.

Stand on it.

Rely on it.

Live it.

Know it, and

Never doubt it.

As I don’t give up,

Nor should you.

Don’t give up on the One who

Knows you,

Loves you,

Holds you,

Guides you,

Shows you.

Don’t give up

On me.

See Deuteronomy 31:8; Psalm 37:7; Psalm 139; John 8:1-11; John 13:1-8; John 15:9-17; Romans 8:31-39; 1 Corinthians 13:7

I don’t give up

Daughter, the tasks I give you are not burdensome.

They are designed for you and me,

Together.

I don’t give them to you and leave.

I don’t give up on you.

I don’t give up.

Did I give up on my children in the desert?

Did I give up after the wickedness, the flood, the idolatry?

Do I give up now?

Daughter, I am working every day,

In you, in all my children, simultaneously.

It is beyond your understanding,

But that does not make it less so.

See Genesis 8:20-22; Deuteronomy 8; Psalm 102:26-27; Proverbs 3:5-6; John 15:1-11; Romans 8:28; 1 Corinthians 3:5-9 and 13:7; 2 Corinthians 1:17-20 and 6:1-2; Philippians 1:6 and 2:13; James 1:2-4 and 17-18; 1 John 5:3-5

Everything

Daughter, do you remember how I’ve told you

I can take everything?

Give everything to me.

Don’t hold back.

Don’t believe the lie

That it’s too much for me,

That I can’t help.

Don’t believe the lie

That you’ve made your own way,

That you’ve got it all on your own.

I am with you, daughter.

Always.

There isn’t a moment I’m not with you.

There isn’t a time I don’t cherish you.

There isn’t anything you can do,

Or not do,

To make me love you less,

To change my plans.

Don’t worry.

I’ve still got you.

I’ve still got plans for you.

You are marked as my very own.

I will never leave my own.

I can’t be away from those I love,

Just as you can’t.

See Deuteronomy 7:9, 8, 9:1-6, and 31:8; Matthew 11:28-30 and 28:20; Romans 12:1-2; Ephesians 1:11 and 2:1-10; 1 Peter 5:7

Only I

Daughter, don’t worry over the little things.

Don’t worry over the big things.

Don’t worry.

Daughter, release your burdens.

Release your worries to me,

And to me alone.

The world will offer solutions.

Only I give you rest.

Only I take your burdens.

Only I heal.

Only I slow your mind.

Only I show you what really matters.

Only I AM.

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.

Be free

Listen to this week’s word

You can push away, but daughter, don’t.

Just as your heart breaks, it pains me when you push away.

Don’t you see I always want to be with you?

Don’t you see there’s no fear or rushing or questioning or hesitating with me?

With me, you are free.

Daughter, I know your heart, and I know that is what you really want:

Freedom.

There is nothing you desire more.

You want to be free.

With me, you are.

With me, you always will be.

With me, you can be that wild girl who dares to defy the world.

You can be that girl no one understands.

It doesn’t matter what anyone wants or thinks.

Daughter, I am what matters.

I am the one who sustains you and guides you and loves you.

I am the one who smiles on you

And rescues you

And won’t have you any other way.

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.

Together

Listen to this week’s word

Daughter, let me carry the things that burden you.

I hear your heart.

Do you know how beautiful you are?

Daughter, I delight in you.

I love when you take time with me.

Believe that I can do miracles.

Believe that I can change hearts and take burdens.

What you carry isn’t meant just for you.

We carry together.

Remember my yoke?

We bear it together.

We walk forward together.

Oh, daughter, to be near you is my joy.

But I can only be near when you invite me.

We’ll go forward together.

We’ll bear it together.

Together, it’s not as heavy.

Together, it’s not hopeless.

Together, we can lift it.

Work with me, alongside me.

If you go where I am not, it will be harder.

Stay here with me.

Let’s do this day together.

Let’s prepare you for what lies ahead, daughter.

Let’s get to work.

My commands are not burdensome, remember?

Let’s have joy today.

See Leviticus 26:11-13; Deuteronomy 31:8; Psalm 23:4; Psalm 37:23; Psalm 77:13-14; Psalm 116:1-2; Psalm 139:14; Jeremiah 29:12; Matthew 11:28-30; John 15:1-8; Ephesians 1:3 and 11; James 4:8; 1 John 5:3-4
