Daughter, close your eyes. Close your eyes and let me guide. You do not need the false light to see. You cannot see with it. No, you will be blind by trying to see. Through me, your eyes will be opened. Through me, you will see, but only if you first close your eyes. Close your eyes to stop watching, stop trying to see yourself in the scenarios that are not for you, that you make up in your mind, where you insert yourself into someone else’s life. Daughter, keep your eyes closed. Am I not guiding you now? To breathe, to think, to let go? Yes, daughter, I am guiding you, even now, when you can’t see. When you sleep, when you laugh and believe all is well, without seeing what could lie ahead. Could, daughter. Do not be afraid of what could. Do not live under what could. Live under what is, who is, how it is. Daughter, I AM what is, what will be. I AM here, with you, loving you every minute, every day, every time you don’t want to close your eyes. When you close, it is clearer. It is refined, my spirit in you, when you focus on what is unseen. Unseen, my daughter, is not undone. Unseen is where I AM. Seen is where I AM. Doing, thinking, acting, seeking, asking, knocking, is where I AM. Can you do it with eyes closed? Can you see without seeing? Yes. Yes, my love. See, without your sight. See, without the sight you have been given, told. See with what you have, my love. My spirit in you, joining you to all I have given you, all I have on the road along the way, along the flowers and the creeks and the tall, strong trees and the melodies sung by whispering grass, by birds, by leaves shaking, waiting, for a changing season. Do not weary in the waiting. Close your eyes. And rest.

These links share just a glimpse of the story God is telling us. When you have time, read a chapter or two around the verses to get the context and see the whole picture. My preferred Bible translation is the New Living Translation, so all links will be in that version.
