Daughter, I am always near.

You can come to me on and off the page. I have not gone, my daughter. Yes, you are still mine.

Daughter, you are changing, growing. Do not be ashamed of the woman you are, whom I have created. Have I not made you artist, mother, wife, worker? Have I not chosen you for this time — with these, here, now? Did I not make you with my hands? With my own?

My daughter, you are my own. You have come far, though you have not arrived. Not fully. You will keep arriving. One place, then another. One thought, then another. One idea, one exclamation, one burst of creativity and love and dancing in your mind and soul and body, then another. Daughter, each day, you arrive. Closer. Do not fight the close of one day. It ushers in another.

My daughter, you are so weary, I know. Rest. Sleep, close your eyes, let time move. Let me move it, move you. Let me move you from dream to dream to daylight to morning to afternoon to the close. The close of the day, the dance, the light that burns, glows, lives somewhere else, just then. It lives so it will be where you are, when you awake, when I stir you, show you what you can only see in the light. Oh, my daughter, there is so much to show you. It is not all the same, as you think. It is new each day, with Me. It is what you have sought. Only look in the light, my dear one. Look out, in, around, behind. Is it not everywhere? Is light not all around?

Walk and feel and love and know, know, my love that it is, that I AM, near, here, inside, outside. Everywhere.

My love, you think you have missed me, disappointed my expectations, my plans, my light. Oh, daughter, you forget I AM. You forget I do not disappoint. I do not become disappointed or make disappointment. I create appointment, appointed. I created you, my daughter. Do not forget. I create not to disappoint, not to underwhelm.

I create for you.

See John 12-13

Daughter, remember that I love you today.

Remember what I’ve said.

Remember that I’m near.

Remember that there is no worrying or rushing or hurrying with me.

Remember that today can be joyful when you keep watching me.

Remember there is nothing more important.

Remember that I am working, that I love your heart.

Remember that it will all work out, that fear has no dominion.

Remember that I love you.

Daughter, you have things to learn before you can do more.

You are being prepared for the next steps. Trust in me and the process. You will be right where you need to be at just the right time. Trust me.

Believe that I am working and that it is good. Believe that it isn’t all for nothing. Believe you are moving forward. Believe me, not the world. Be like Daniel. Use the gifts I give you for good, even when all around you isn’t.

Trust me. Believe me. Rely on my love and my power to live without fear.

Keep reading. Keep studying. Keep writing. Keep asking. Keep seeking. Keep knocking.

Don’t be afraid.

There is nothing to fear.

I’m timing this just right. No one will interrupt. No one will interfere with my will for my children.

Keep moving forward with me. Take my hand and come. Come with me. Feel how much I hold you, how close I am. I am all you need, and I will never leave you.

I give you everything, my daughter. Use what I give you to defeat fear. Use it to remember I am in you, working and moving … always. Use it to find peace and strength in me. Use it to keep holding on, keep seeking.

Remember that nothing will stop me, and I am always on time. You won’t lose this, daughter. You won’t lose me. I won’t be going anywhere.

I will stay with you. Through every task, every menial task, I’m there. Find me in them. Seek me in them. Remember I’m there. Not just now but always.

Always, daughter.

I protect your body, your house, your mind, your family. Don’t worry about yourself or them. I do not bring disaster, only relief and clarity.

Don’t stop moving. Keep going forward with me. Keep walking, keep shining. I made you to shine with my light, and it is the brightest light. None other can match its brightness.

In my light, you are warm and safe.

In my light, you are you.

In my light, you are held and cherished and guided.

In my light, you will find all.

In my light, you will be my daughter.
