Jeremiah 17:7-8

Category: Work

I can, I AM

Daughter, it’s hard to move

With a burden.

Under my yoke,

With me,

You can rest and

Work.

You can sow

And plough

And harvest.

Daughter, you can

With me.

Don’t wait because

They lied,

Said you can’t.

Said you can’t see,

Can’t stop,

Can’t go,

Can’t.

Don’t let fear

Freeze the ground

Before you plant.

Stand, walk, work,

Look up and

Ahead,

Knowing

I can,

I AM,

Knowing

You can,

You are

With me.

It’s time

Daughter, it’s time to move.

Take my hand.

You don’t have to move

Alone.

You can move

With me, and

It will be better.

I am with you

Everywhere.

There is nothing to fear.

Rejection

Is not from me.

Fear

Is not from me.

Hopelessness

Is not from me.

Meaninglessness, mediocrity

Is not from me.

Daughter, you know

What comes from me.

You have felt it.

Hope,

Joy,

Peace,

Confidence,

Salvation,

Solace,

Gratitude,

Clarity,

Love.

You know it, child.

You know it because

You have them.

You know it because

You have experienced,

Learned,

Walked

In it.

And you can do it again.

Your best days are not

Behind.

They are ahead,

With me.

The only way to get to them is

To take a step.

Don’t settle for

What they offer

Where you are,

Far less than what I want

For you.

Daughter, be brave,

And take the step.

A step is hard,

I know.

But the next ones follow,

So you can stride,

Run,

Love,

Work,

Live without

The ceaseless burden because

I will take it

So you can

Move.

Closer and away

I’ll show you, daughter.

I’ll you show you the way, away from

Emptiness,

Worry,

Strife.

Away from

Meaningless

Work,

Worry,

Fear.

No rushing,

No stressing, just

Me.

Come on, daughter.

Let’s do today

And tomorrow

And all your days

Together.

Let’s celebrate each one because

With each one,

You get closer.

Closer to your destiny,

Your purpose,

Your assignment.

Closer to me.

Together, individually

Daughter, my plan is best,

Even when you cannot grasp it.

It’s all right if you don’t.

Only I know it from

Beginning to end.

Only I gather my

Sons and daughters to

Provide for them all

Together,

Individually.

I give them the good things

I have planned.

I give them everything they need, and

They will not want

Together,

Individually.

Harvest

Keep going, daughter.

Your waiting,

Your working,

Your planting

Will all pay off.

Your steps won’t be in vain

When they’re taken with me.

Do this, so you can tell others

How you did it with me.

Remember my glory, my rewards,

My harvest

To those who work

With me.

Release and rest

Make your work holy, daughter.

Give it to me so I can bless it,

So I can guide you.

Do not clutch it

Or believe it only belongs to you.

It isn’t wrong to

Release it, to

Rest.

Take in my grace.

Accept my peace.

I provide them, no matter what you’ve done

Or haven’t done.

You will be fruitful

When you rest.

Escape

Daughter, come.

Come to me when you’re busy.

Come to me to escape from

What the world tells you is important.

It will tell you to “escape,”

But only I provide

Escape.

Busyness is bondage.

Yes, there are things to do.

But the things you do aren’t you.

Come to me to find

Yourself.

Come to me, and we will work

Together.

Come to me when you’re tired,

When there is rushing and hurrying and worrying.

Come to me when you’re not sure

If you’ll get it done.

I will help you.

I will open your eyes.

I will work

Alongside you.
