Words & Whispers

I hear the Lord say:

In this day and age, it is easy to be distracted or overwhelmed. When I call you to focus your thoughts on what is ‘true, noble, righteous, pure, lovable or admirable” and on something “praiseworthy”, it is for your benefit. The duties and demands of each day can lead you into thoughts or actions that are not helpful or constructive. Focusing on the truth of My word, the righteousness of Christ, the purity of My love, the nobleness of My Son’s sacrifice will keep you grounded in love and unity with Me, your Heavenly Father. Taking time to appreciate and offer praise each day can include admiring a field of sunflowers, listening to a bird singing nearby, joining in a child’s laughter, gazing from the porch during a summer rain, reading an encouraging note from a friend, appreciating a whisper from your loving Father (Me) that “I love you so much”; these things and more will both calm and thrill your heart. To be surrounded by evidence of My love for you will keep you focused on what is important, trustworthy and timely. Each day brings you closer in union with Me as you meditate on My virtues and our unbreakable bond.

Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. Philippians 4:8 NIV
