A Word From God to Encourage

I sat at my table studying and praying knowing deep in my heart I needed to do more listening than requesting.  Some days my conversations with God can be a little one sided on the wrong side.  What I really needed today was for me to be quite and to hear from Him so I prayed, "Set my heart right.  Forgive me for my selfishness and my constant asking.  Teach me to be still before you."

Always be prepared for the download you will receive when you honestly ask God to pour into you.  He eagerly desires to bless you and me with a fresh word straight from His heart. What I have learned from reading about the Holy Spirit and how God speaks to us is that it may sound like your voice in your thoughts, but we both know that if it were just your thoughts the words would be a lot more negative.  I am not saying I have never heard God tell me something difficult, but that His voice is not condemning, rather it is right and true and full of grace.  Like me maybe you need a word of encouragement.  Maybe you need to hear God say to you it will be ok.  Be still and lean in.  Receive a fresh word from Him today.  Breath it in deep.  Be refreshed and renewed.
[Daughter you are loved.  You are whole.  You are no longer broken.  I have put you back together to demonstrate my love and power.  Stand strong under the pressures of this world and continue to seek after what will be in the world to come.  Daughter you are loved. Daughter you are enough.  Cherish the moments you have with your family.  Love them deeply.  Do not fear the days to come.  Trust me.  I hold your future and theirs in my hands.  I carefully plan it out and guide your steps.  Be obedient to me and walk in my ways.  Love my way.  Give my way.  Teach my way.  Serve my way.  Worship me with your whole heart and surrender your plans to my leading.  Be thankful and rejoice.  You have been given much.  Others need to hear your story.  Share it openly with all who will listen.  Tell of my name.  Reflect me in all you do.  Never forget who's you are.]

With love,
