Oh, daughter, you will see what I have for you, but you can see what I have for today, too.

Every day is a gift. There is something in every day.

I am with you every day. Always.

I never tire of you.

I know you have dreams and all the things you wish you could do and all the things you wish you didn’t have to do.

But I am with you in all these things.

I don’t leave you to fight it out alone or even enjoy it alone.

I want you to share it all with me.

I’m there. I’m in it anyway. Remember I’m there.

Acknowledge me, yes, but invite me to be with you.

I like when you come to me.

I never turn you away. I always want to help.

No task is too big or too small for me.

You and I can achieve so much more together.

On your own, you can do so little. With me, you can do so much.

So much more than you can think or ask.

What I have is yours, daughter, because you are my inheritance.

See it and accept it.

Take what is given to you not just for one thing or one area of your life but for everything.

See how my glory and my abundance fills everything in your life.

See Deuteronomy 4:20 and 32:9-11 (NIV translations*); Deuteronomy 8:17-18 and 31:8; Psalm 16:5, 7-8, 11; Psalm 37:3-5; Psalm 139:7-10; Isaiah 54:10; Matthew 6:33-34 and 28:18-20; John 15:5-8; Ephesians 3:20; Philippians 4:11-13; Colossians 1:11-17; 1 Peter 5:6-7

*I have used the New International Version for these verses in Deuteronomy because of the word “inheritance,” which is also in the King James Version. In the New Living Translation, it is written as “special possession” in Deuteronomy 4:20 and 32:9. The words are synonymous, but “inheritance” is clearer in this case. However it’s stated, know that you are precious to God.

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 most links will be in that version unless otherwise noted.

Just listen

Listen to a reading of the text below

Daughter, I want you to stop and listen.

I want you to be used to hearing my voice.

You are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, my very own possession. You can read those words and know they are true.

I chose you for specific and special work. Look how we are working together now. I love when you listen.

I want you to be used to hearing my voice.

You used to think it wasn’t something you could do, but now look what I have done for you. You wanted communion and closeness with me, and look what I have done.

Keep looking at what I have done, child.

I’ll keep doing it. I’ll keep speaking and keep working through you.

I want you to be used to hearing my voice.

Remember that I am a good father who gives good gifts. Let others know. I want all my children to hear my voice.

You can help me. This is why I gave you your talents.

They are not selfish gifts. They are gifts you can enjoy, but they are helpful, too. They will help and do more than you can imagine, child.

Just listen.

See Psalm 32:8; Psalm 73:28; Psalm 85:8; Psalm 145:18; Isaiah 30:21 and 55:3; Jeremiah 33:3; Matthew 7:11; Mark 4:24-25; Luke 11:28; John 10:27; Romans 10:17; 1 Corinthians 12:7-11; Hebrews 3:14-15; James 4:8; 1 Peter 2:9; Revelation 3:20 and 22
