Meaningful

In I AM, In the world, not of it, The world, Worry

Daughter, worry is meaningless.

The world gives great importance to fear,

Puts it on display,

Champions it,

Legitimizes it.

But it is false.

Keep your eyes, your mind clear

To see.

The world has its priorities –

They are not yours.

The world has its idols –

They are not yours.

I AM infinitely more than these.

Today, do not worry.

Know that I AM here.

You don’t have to do it on your own.

You can do it all with me.

You can do all that is

Important,

Relevant,

Meaningful.

See Ecclesiastes 2:22-26; Matthew 6:19-34 and 28:18-20; John 14:27; Romans 8:5-6; Ephesians 3:20; Philippians 2:13 and 4:13

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.

In Love, Rest, Worry

Daughter, don’t forget.

Don’t forget how I love you.

Don’t forget how I hold you,

No matter where you are or what you’ve done.

You are safe with me.

You are forgiven.

You are never neglected.

I give you all you need.

I love without reserve.

That love does not include worry.

So put it away.

Put it away, throw it away.

Worry is not from me.

Worry is not what I have for you.

It is a distraction, a thorn.

Let me pull out the thorn and heal your hand.

You need only reach for me,

Not the roses the world extends.

They are soft and bright but full of thorns.

They are deceptive.

I do not deceive.

I only give the rose,

Not the thorn.

See Numbers 23:19; Psalm 131; Isaiah 41:17-24; Matthew 6:24-34; John 14:15-31; Romans 8:1-3 and 35-39; Ephesians 3:18-19; Hebrews 6:16-18; James 1:17-18

Only I

In Faith, Feeling vs. believing, I AM, Reliance, Rest, Trust, Worry

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.

In Move forward, Trust, Worry

Listen to a reading of the text below

Daughter, this day is not lost.

There’s still joy in it to be had. Go get it.

Don’t worry about anything. I’m taking care of it.

I’m taking care of you.

The tears today have made you stronger. In your weakness, I am strong, daughter.

And you thought today would be just another day.

I always notice you.

Keep going. I love you.

I hold you by the hand. Read that word again, and take a deep breath.

There’s so much more for you, daughter.

I can’t wait to give it to you.

I’ll tell you everything you need to know to keep moving.

Remember that I love you. I want what’s best for you.

Keep moving forward. Rest.

It will all be fine, my daughter.

See Exodus 33:12-17; Isaiah 41:10 and 13; Isaiah 43:16-19; Nehemiah 8:10; Psalm 32:8; Psalm 143:8 and 10; 2 Corinthians 12:8-10; Ephesians 3:20; Philippians 4:6-7
