    I hear the Lord say:

    Recall how you woke up singing “You are light” this morning.  Your mind was focused on My joy and filled with joyful declaration. Take this with you today. Share this joy with others. Let your thoughts return to Me throughout the day. I am by your side. Your hunger for more of Me will be satisfied. Recognize your inability to do this in your own will and strength. You must call on Holy Spirit to gain greater faith, trust and love. Let Him guide you to greater insights and spiritual connection. He will reveal areas of your life to be purged, cleansed and renewed.  Be eager to accept His corrections. Be aware of traps and old mind-sets. Bring to mind My words and promises to keep you on My holy path.

    Create in me a clean heart, O God,
    And renew a right and steadfast spirit within me.
    Psalm 51:10  AMP

    I hear the Lord say:

    I open the door wide for you to enter My kingdom. Come in and behold the splendor of it! The possibilities are endless as you join with Me in my purpose. Let Me guide you one day at a time to expand your vision. Put on your “God glasses” to see how I see.  Nothing is impossible. Don’t be surprised when opportunities arise, doors open, doors shut, or miracles happen. All circumstances are under my control.  Be assured that I will bring you into a deeper union with me.  The desires of your heart will be satisfied.

    Then turning to the disciples, he (Jesus) said privately,
    “Blessed are the eyes that see what you see!…”
    Luke 10: 23     ESV

    I hear the Lord say:

    Be at peace, my love. All is well. You are choosing to surrender your day to Me and I will accomplish My purpose. You can rely on Me to get today’s duties accomplished and to do so with joy. Keep mindful of your sleep schedule. Take care of your rest so you can maintain a cheerful attitude.

    I desire to bless you and show you how to rely on Me for big and little things. Keep seeking and you will see more and more how I can smooth the way.

    You keep him in perfect peace

    whose mind is stayed on you,

    because he trusts in you.

    Isaiah 26:3   ESV

    I hear the Lord say:

    Dear one, I hold all things in my hands. You can do all things through my Son abiding in you. My peace I give you. You must take it in order to receive it. Wear my peace like a cloak, a garment of praise. My ‘wrap around’ love will sustain you. Each trial in life works in you for the good. Trials draw you closer to me.

     

    Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial,

    for when he has stood the test

    he will receive the crown of life,

    which God has promised to those who love him.

    James 1: 12    ESV

    I hear the Lord say:

    Let it go. Let it all go. Let go of the shame. Let go of the guilt. Let go of the condemnation. That day is done. You messed up. It’s not the first time and it won’t be the last. You’re human. You’re weak. You’ll forgot to abide and miss the mark. It’s okay. You recognized the sin; you asked the offended person for forgiveness and it was granted willingly. You asked Me for forgiveness and I granted it fully. Now forgive yourself. Meditate on My love and forgiveness, my compassion and mercy. Don’t let a mistake pull you away from my love and companionship. I am still here. I am always here. I am faithful and true. I will never ever forsake you. My capacity to forgive never runs out. Stand up and walk with Me. We have lots to do. To bless others, you must regain your joy and be aware of my holy presence in all circumstances. Keep pursuing, keep knocking, keep trusting.

    Ask and it will be given to you;

    seek and you will find;

    knock and the door will be opened to you.

    Matthew 7: 7     NIV

    I hear the Lord say:

    Dear one, don’t let the past mistakes weigh you down. The past is past. It is over and forgotten. Today is a new day. I rejoice over you. The journey closer to Me is ongoing. There is no ‘end’ or ‘arrival’ until you get to heaven.

    Keep walking.            Keep trusting.            Keep holding on to my promises.

    Life unfolds day by day. Let today be another day to worship, to praise, to reflect, and to draw nearer. Remember I accompany you wherever you go. Let my light and truth bring you constant joy and continual comfort.

    Go – Conquer the day!

    God is not human, that He should lie,
    not a human being, that he should change His mind.
    Does He speak and then not act?
    Does He promise and not fulfill?
    Numbers 23:19   NIV

    I hear the Lord say:

    I want you to enjoy each moment – in the present- now, and now, and now. Don’t dwell on the past with its regrets and mistakes. Don’t dwell on the future – wondering, worrying, or planning. Just enjoy today as my beloved daughter. Go about your day – at work and home, with Me by your side, guiding, nudging, reminding you of my abiding presence. Let your countenance reflect the hope and joy within your heart. You have all my blessings at your disposal. Peace, love, joy, delight, compassion, trust ~ and more ~ abiding inside you. You are united with me as a father lovingly creates and cares for his beloved daughter. Let’s enjoy the day together!

    Nothing could ever change your royal decrees;
    they will last forever!
    Holiness is the beauty that fills your house;
    you are the one who abides forevermore!
    Psalm 93:5  TPT
