Jeremiah 17:7-8

Category: Trust Page 2 of 4

Trust in the Lord with all your heart. Do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take. (Proverbs 3:5-6, NLT)

I’m here

You need only to have faith, dear daughter.

You need only to listen and receive what to do.

It’s through faith you will have this.

No rushing.

No hurrying.

No worrying.

Just believe me.

Just come forward with me and

Take a step.

It will lead to me and

All I have for you.

It will be one step together.

It can only be done

With faith.

So believe me.

And rest in that.

Don’t overthink.

Don’t analyze.

Don’t hesitate to believe,

To let me lead.

Don’t hesitate to come.

You know my voice.

Listen for it. Be ready.

Stay attuned to it.

Keep your hands and ears and eyes and mind

Open for me.

It’s all good –

All that comes from me.

You know me.

Just listen.

I’m here.

I’m working it out and

I love you.

No one else

Loving God means keeping his commandments, and his commandments are not burdensome. For every child of God defeats this evil world, and we achieve this victory through our faith. And who can win this battle against the world? Only those who believe that Jesus is the Son of God.

-1 John 5:3-5, New Living Translation

Daughter, do not waste time on the world.

You don’t need to worry about what it thinks,

What it wants.

Do not try to appease it or even defeat it

On your own.

Do not dwell on what it does.

Instead, trust me.

Trust in what I am doing in your heart, your life.

What I have for you is great and will move you

Forward.

But remember that you’re also learning.

And this is what you need to learn today:

I AM sovereign.

Believe it when you speak it.

Believe that no one else has that kind of power

Over who you are

And what you’ll do.

Believe that no one will understand it.

Believe that it doesn’t have to be understood.

It only needs to be believed.

See Exodus 3:13-15; Psalm 32:8-9; Matthew 14:22-31; Luke 24:13-49; John 1:5, 16:33, and 20:19-29; 1 Corinthians 2; Philippians 2:13 and 4:6-7; 1 John 5:3-5

Share the gift

Trust me, daughter.

Let’s work together.

Let’s rest together.

Trust in all I have for you and

That it is good,

That it is beautiful.

Do not worry.

Do not fret.

Do not analyze.

Do not speculate.

Do not rely on your own thoughts,

Your understanding.

Only trust.

Trust in me, who holds everything,

Including you,

Including your future,

Including your talents,

Including your family,

Including all I have for you.

See Psalm 116:7; Proverbs 3:5-7; Isaiah 40:10-11 and 26-31; Isaiah 41:8-10; Isaiah 42:1-7; Matthew 6:24-34; 1 Corinthians 1:7-9; Ephesians 2:10; Hebrews 10:35-36

Open the gift

You can hand it all to me, daughter.

Just make sure you rest.

Rest is priority.

No work, no assignment, no task from me or man

Should surpass it.

Rest is my gift to you.

Use it, accept it.

Breathe it in and out.

When you accept it, you accept me, daughter.

When you rest, it is holy.

It is preparing you for all I have for you.

Remember that we have work to do together.

Remember that it will get done.

If it’s not today, it’s all right.

It will get done in the right time.

Now tend to your family, daughter.

Remember the garden?

Abide in me, rest in me.

It will all work out.

I’m working for you, daughter.

I work for those I love.

See Genesis 2:1-3; Ecclesiastes 2:18-26, 3:1-15, and 5:18-20; Isaiah 64:4; Jeremiah 29:4-14; Mark 6:30-31; John 5:16-17; Ephesians 1:9-11; Hebrews 4:1-11

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.

Plant your garden

Daughter, I’m right here.

I’m right beside you, never to leave.

Your accomplishments will come and go.

Your assignments will change.

But build your home.

Plant your garden.

Don’t waste away on longing.

What you long for is given to you freely.

What you long for has been yours since the day you believed.

Freedom.

Love.

Peace.

Joy.

Rescue.

They’re all yours, right here, right now.

Believe it and you’ll see it.

You might even feel it.

To feel won’t always bring joy,

But to know will.

To know me, to believe me, will.

Believe me.

Come and believe me.

Daughter, I love you. You can believe that.

Find joy

Daughter, have joy where you are.

You only see the misery, the mediocrity.

Find the joy.

I have it there for you.

Right there,

In the middle of pain,

In the middle of disappointment,

In the middle of waiting.

Waiting doesn’t mean you have to wait for joy.

Joy comes with every morning I give you.

Daughter, it’s right there.

You don’t have to look far to find it.

Find me, and you’ll find joy.

Take one step

Listen to this week’s word

Daughter, what is coming is great.

Keep moving forward and don’t worry about it.

Come to me every day.

Come to me when you need direction,

Even if it’s just to take one step.

Oh, daughter, I want to be with you in every step.

Wasn’t it so with your own sons?

You never wanted to miss their steps.

You never wanted to leave when they did something new.

You are my beloved.

I don’t want to leave you.

And I won’t.

See Exodus 3:10-12; Deuteronomy 31:6; Psalm 16:7-11; Psalm 116:8-9; Psalm 119:105; Proverbs 3:5-6 and 4:12-13; Jeremiah 10:23; Matthew 28:20; Romans 8:15-18; 2 Corinthians 5:7; Ephesians 2:10; Philippians 4:6-7

You can be an outcast

Listen to the this week’s word

Daughter, you’ve grown so much.

I remember that little girl, who didn’t care for such worries,

Who laughed and sang and played.

Bring her back.

Throw off the world’s expectations.

Cast away its murmurings and its dictates.

You can be an outcast.

You belong to me, to the kingdom.

You’ll never belong in the world,

And that’s how I want it.

No one will fully understand what I have for you.

I made it that way so you will need to come to me.

You will help others, but you don’t understand now.

Wasn’t it so with the prophets?

They were close to me, as you will be.

See Jeremiah 1:4-19; Matthew 18:1-4; Luke 12:22-32; John 17:13-19 (Jesus’ prayer to the Father); Romans 8:12-18 and 12:2

What I love most

Listen to this week’s word

Daughter, your heart is what I love most.

I know what it wants.

I know what excites it, and it is beautiful.

Daughter, you are beautiful.

What you’re doing now, with me, is beautiful.

Doesn’t it feel better?

Doesn’t it make more sense for you to be with me?

It does.

It does because I made you, because I know you.

I know what’s best for you.

I know the right time to take you to something new.

You have to trust me.

Remember that this is your calling.

To trust.

To love.

To know me.

To share it.

To show it.

See I Samuel 16:7; Psalm 23; Psalm 34:18; Psalm 37:3-5 and 23; Psalm 40:1-8; Psalm 51:10 and 16-17; Psalm 139; Proverbs 3:5-6; Jeremiah 17:5-10; Ezekiel 36:22-27; Matthew 22:37-40; John 2:23-25, 3:1-21, and 14; Ephesians 1:18; Philippians 4:6-7
