No need to strive for perfection, just BE

How about for today, you just BE my child. My Child, in whom I am well pleased...You are not the girl who stuggles with food or can't keep her house clean or the girl who attracted bad men or suffers from depression. That girl doesn't really exist, in fact, she is dead.

You are royalty, my beautiful daughter who has not a care in the world save to spend time with her adoring, doting Daddy, praying, singing and praising all the day long. That's right. I am your Daddy, The King, and I am strong and powerful. Any adversity in your world is but a speck of dust to me. I am completely willing and able to handle it all. The battle is mine. In fact, consider it handled, because in Truth it already is.

All you need to concern yourself with is me. Everything else is just distraction from me. Your unsaved husband, taken care of. Your rocky marriage, alive and satisfying. Your children~actually mine~under my care, protection and provision. Your health, perfect. Your mind, sound. Your heart, pure. Done. It's all done. Just spend time with me. BE with me. Trust me. Adore me as I adore you. Get to know me the way that I know you. And you'll see who you really are - beautiful, poised, joyful, positive, loving, generous, kind and so much more. You'll see yourself the way I see you. It is no wonder that I am so enthralled by your beauty.

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come! 2Corinthians 5:17

God got my attention today...

He said, "I love you like Edward loves Bella."

Why can't I succeed? What am I missing?

You are not missing anything. You simply take your eyes off the prize. You daydream, and happily I might add. Then you look at the obstacles that lay ahead (too old, too out of shape, no training, no money, or whatever) and you freeze. But you and I don't reckon things the same. What you see as giant obstructions, I see as bumps in the road. And your job is not to navigate the way but to hold fast to the vision of what you want to accomplish and stay with it no matter what. You will find that as you hold on, the obstacles that once seemed so monumental just seem to melt away right before your eyes - because that's my job, to lead you to the manifestation of that vision, to take care of the details, to get you where you want to go. Just keep your gaze locked on what you want and don't let yourself be distracted by fear, discouragement, confusion, needing to know how, or the ever popular 'what-about-them?' sydrome. It really is that simple. Go ahead, pick something. Any one thing. And give it all your focus. Test me and see...

Sometimes the Voice gives Tough Love

1. Pick yourself up little girl.

2. Now is not the time for self pity.

3. Stand and fight for the life you dream of.

4. It is waiting for you.

You'll See When you Believe

You see something good and you think, 'Hey, that's pretty cool. I wish that was mine.'

I see the same thing and I say, 'It is yours, align yourself with it.'

You hear that and you confuse my words. You think you have to make it happen by your sheer force of will or by chasing after it or by going into debt to get it.....and you miss it altogether.

And then you become angry with me and call me a liar.

Let me just clarify what I said.

The good things you want are yours. Already. When you were born, they came along for the ride, permanently. But they don't just happen. You've heard the phrase: 's_ _ _ happens'. Well, unfortunately, in this fallen world, it's true. Those are the things that 'just happen'.

The good that indwells you must be aligned with. You must be in agreement with it. You must call it forth, not by force, but by faith and by gratitude. Refuse to entertain a negative idea regarding your good, while at the same time believing it is yours (in spite of the seeming evidence against it). Let go of anything, any thought, any negativity, any doubt or worry that stands in your way.

Now. When you see something good and wish it was yours and I say 'it is', believe me, against all odds.

You'll see.

Pass it on

You already have all the answers you need. Right now. There is no book you need to read. There is no seminar you need to attend. There is no advice you need to seek. Everything you need to know is already here. And you know this too. It is time. Stop pretending you don't know. It no longer serves you. In order to move forward, you need to live out the knowledge that you possess, all that I have shared with you. Let what you know pour out into your experience for others to drink in. Live that knowledge and lead others to it. It is time for you to let go, to share, to shine. There is nothing to fear. This is why you have come. I love you and I believe in you. Pass it on. ..........................................................................................................................................
