Tag: Gifts from God

Accept the gift

Daughter, rest.

Rest in me.

Remember that I am your love.

I am your peace.

I am the bearer of your burdens.

Not you.

This is my gift to you.

Accept it, child.

Don’t leave the gift unopened, unused.

Take it, accept it.

Enjoy it, cherish it.

Show it off.

Don’t hide it.

Use it.

And tell me about it.

Keep talking to me, daughter.

We will be working together.

But for now, you can rest.

See Exodus 33:12-14; Psalm 16:5; Ecclesiastes 2:24-25 and 5:3; Isaiah 30:15-18; Matthew 11:28-30; John 14:1-14; Hebrews 4:1-11; 1 Peter 5:7

Gifted

Daughter, do you know how much I want to give you?

The Kingdom is yours when you believe,

When you rely on me and walk with me.

I want to give you everything.

You are my daughter, my beloved.

Don’t you love to give to those you love?

You get that from me, child.

Hold your hands open to receive what I have for you.

I give good gifts.

I give gifts just for you because

I know you.

I know what your heart needs and wants.

I know what will give you joy.

Don’t expect my gifts to be what you receive from the world.

Those gifts are temporary, fleeting.

My gifts last.

I give you gifts that grow and change and stay.

I give you gifts that evolve.

I give you gifts that are more.

Keep your hands open today, child.

See Matthew 7:7-11; Mark 11:22-25; Luke 12:22-34; John 15:1-17; Ephesians 3:14-20
