With You Shall I Always Be

From within begins the journey. Outward manifestations are temporal. Release your power from within. I Am your Guide and Support. With you shall I always be. Surrender the hurt, pain, regret. For what you have is now, and the now is perfect. Look at how much better now. You have forgone much hurt by going this route. By building up your strength over the years, you are now prepared for the mission. Do not despise the days of challenges. They have brought you to where you are now. Accept what is, and move forward with courage and joy. Trust in Me, for I will never leave you nor forsake you. I will guide you to every good you desire. (June 9 Devotional Entry)

The "Letting Go"

Happiness lies within every creature. Humans choose their path daily, point to Me, and then cry out, “He does not understand us. He does not hear us. He does not love us.” But, in Truth, it is they who do not hear Me. They look to the world for comfort and pleasure. Yes, there is much there. But before they can enjoy what is, they must know Who Is. All begins and ends with Me. For it is My Great Delight to see My children happy. The struggles and strains need not be. The “letting go” will bring them Joy! (May 26 Devotional Entry)

Gentleness Is Reflected Back To The World

You are free if you will only believe it. Open up your heart. This is the beginning of wisdom. When you love yourself, you then extend love to others. You never heard Jesus beat Himself up, or say unkind words about Himself. When others were unkind to Him, He was silent. When they mocked His teachings, He asked them questions. He allowed them to figure out what they needed to do. Everyone needs that freedom to “figure out”. Otherwise no real interior transformation can take place. Forcing doesn’t work. Gentleness with yourself gives others the freedom and permission to be gentle with themselves. In turn, the gentleness is reflected back to the world. (May 20 Devotional Entry)

Be The Peace You Desire

Separate yourself from those who would do you harm. Build yourself up with Me. Open up your heart to hear My Voice. Treasure those around you who support you. Do not expect them to be perfect, though, for they cannot be. They were not created to be. They, like you, were created to learn. Make visible My Light. Shine brightly at every turn. You will face challenges, but do not be discouraged. It is always for your benefit, and the benefit of those around you, that you learn the lessons of life as you make your journey through this world. Be not angered when you are misunderstood. For you, too, misunderstand. Go about your day with confidence and calm. Be the peace you desire. (May 15 Devotional Entry)

Build Up This Hurting World

Classic writing is this… that which helps others to empower themselves into becoming the very best for which they have been created. When they believe in themselves and trust in Me, I have workable, moldable people. I will use their strengths and weaknesses to build up this hurting world. Come together frequently, if only in prayer, with those who believe and trust in My Infinite Power. There is nothing beyond Me. Nothing which I cannot and will not do. I only wish for your best. You may not understand at the time, but you will in time. (April 30 Devotional Entry)

Cherish Every Moment

Perfect is the moment, even with all of its imperfections. The things which you so desire, the things in your heart… they, too, are in My Heart. My great Heart of Love. Cherish every moment, for things change in an instant. “Do not despise the days of small beginnings.” Treasure all that is around you, even the sadness. For sadness brings compassion. Compassion and understanding bring true love to a very hurting world. Be sensitive to the needs of those around you. For everyone is hurting, no matter how strong they appear. No one goes untouched from hurt, disappointment, sadness. It is necessary to learn that moments of non-joy are not moments to be feared. Learn the lessons, which so readily present themselves.

Impact Through Authentic Living

Sentimental memories are valuable… for they give the strength and courage to continue on when the days and tasks seem too difficult. You are exactly where you need to be right now. Your gifts are being developed and solidified. Harness the goodness and pour out your heart. Just allow yourself to “be”. The more comfortable you are with yourself, the more you will bring to the world. Focus on your own growth, not on the faults and shortcomings of others. By focusing on others, you judge -- not love. Focus on yourself and your continued growth. The only impact worth making is that from living an authentic life. No words will be necessary. (April 26 Devotional Entry)
