In Beginnings, Faith, Feeling vs. believing, God is with you, Move forward, Trust, Worry

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

Together

In God is with you, Reliance, Worry

Listen to this week’s word

Daughter, let me carry the things that burden you.

I hear your heart.

Do you know how beautiful you are?

Daughter, I delight in you.

I love when you take time with me.

Believe that I can do miracles.

Believe that I can change hearts and take burdens.

What you carry isn’t meant just for you.

We carry together.

Remember my yoke?

We bear it together.

We walk forward together.

Oh, daughter, to be near you is my joy.

But I can only be near when you invite me.

We’ll go forward together.

We’ll bear it together.

Together, it’s not as heavy.

Together, it’s not hopeless.

Together, we can lift it.

Work with me, alongside me.

If you go where I am not, it will be harder.

Stay here with me.

Let’s do this day together.

Let’s prepare you for what lies ahead, daughter.

Let’s get to work.

My commands are not burdensome, remember?

Let’s have joy today.

See Leviticus 26:11-13; Deuteronomy 31:8; Psalm 23:4; Psalm 37:23; Psalm 77:13-14; Psalm 116:1-2; Psalm 139:14; Jeremiah 29:12; Matthew 11:28-30; John 15:1-8; Ephesians 1:3 and 11; James 4:8; 1 John 5:3-4

Every single time

In God is with you, Love, Move forward, Trust

Listen to this week’s word

People will disappoint you, daughter.

But I will be here.

I will be here to remind you who are you, what I did for you.

What I’m doing for you.

You see the holes in my hands.

You believe it, and you know it.

This is the love you’ve been searching for your entire life.

This is the love that transcends all.

Don’t be afraid to stand for it, tell about it, write about it, follow it, share it,

Seek it.

You can seek it always, child, because you will always find it.

You will never be lost when you seek it.

You will never be lost when you’re seeking me.

It is never fruitless to seek me.

It is never a waste of time.

It is never too late or too much.

You are not too much.

Seek until your feet tire, until your bones are weary.

I will heal.

I will restore.

I will provide rest.

I will provide love.

Every time.

Every single time, my daughter,

My masterpiece.

See Deuteronomy 31:8; Psalm 9:10; Psalm 23; Psalm 103; Psalm 147:3; Isaiah 41:8-10; Lamentations 3:22-25; Galatians 1:10; Ephesians 1, 2:4-10, 3:12, 3:16-21; Matthew 7:7-8 and 28:18-20; John 20:19-29

Let me move you

In God is with you, Letting go, Move forward, Phillip the Evangelist, Reliance, Trust, Your will, not mine

Listen to this week’s word

Daughter, I am guiding you now.

I can guide you through everything.

You just have to let me.

Let go of what the world tells you to clutch.

Let go of burdens that are too heavy for you.

Let go of trying to push that boulder.

Let go of moving “forward” without me.

Without me, you cannot go forward.

Only with me can you move forward.

Just listen and obey and walk.

Remember Phillip?

He walked down a road until I showed him what was there for him.

Then I moved him forward.

All that walking, and then I moved him.

I’ll move you, too, daughter.

I’ll move you where I need you.

But you don’t have to do the walking alone, child.

I’m walking with you, sustaining you, loving you, holding you, feeding you, giving you water.

It will all be fine for you.

Remember that.

See Exodus 33:12-16; Deuteronomy 31:8; Psalm 46:10; Psalm 143:8-10; Ecclesiastes 2:9-11; Acts 8:26-40; Matthew 11:28-30; John 14, 15:1-17, and 16:12-15

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

So much more

In Feeling vs. believing, Letting go, Move forward, Trust

Daughter, you are so much more than you even know.

Please believe it.

I know it doesn’t feel that way. I know you think that being more is too good to be true.

It’s not.

It’s not because I made you with my own hands.

Do you know how precious you are to me? Do you know I see you and feel with you?

Yes, I know those thoughts when you don’t feel good enough, when you snuff out your dreams because you don’t believe it.

Start believing.

I can do anything, child. Find your joy in that.

Not in work, not in the moment you’ll be able to leave it, not when all is made right and all is how you’ve hoped.

Find joy in moving forward, that every day moves you forward.

Oh, daughter, don’t ever despair. You are not mediocre. You are not sentenced to mediocrity. That’s how you think sometimes.

I know you’re sorry. You’re becoming aware of it. Remember when I said it’s okay if you don’t always get it right? That’s why I’m here, to guide you.

Now just keep going forward, daughter.

I’ll love you the whole way.

Let me do the work, let me make the plans. Let me work in hearts.

I’ll show you where you need to be. I’ll open the door. You just have to wait and remember and listen.

Keep coming to me. Don’t go where you’ll only hear what you want.

Go where you’ll hear truth from me.

See Psalm 126; Psalm 138:8; Psalm 139:13-16; Isaiah 41:9-10, 43:1-4; Matthew 6:33, 7:7-8, 10:39; Luke 9:23-25; John 16:13-14; Romans 8:26-39, 10:10-11, 11:28-29; Galatians 3:10-12, 5:25, 6:9; Ephesians 1:18, 2:4-5, 2:10, 3:20; Philippians 3:12-14, 4:11-13; Hebrews 4:14-16, 12:1-2
