GOD'S WHISPER...REFRESH YOUR SOUL

My child, I am constantly trying to convey My heart to you, but your world is full of distraction. I want so badly for you to simply sit with Me so I can love on you, but your time with Me is short. Everything in your world screams at you, while I speak in a quiet whisper. The demands of life claw at you, but I have an outstretched hand. The stresses of life wear on you until your will and strength are broken down; I gently knock on your heart's door, inviting you into My safety and rest.

I understand all of the demands pulling down on you because they first pulled down on Me. Every struggle and burden first grabbed at Me. But I came to this earth to conquer them all and to give you life - life to the fullest! This is the abundant life I want for you to experience; it is the life available to you every moment of every day!

As I've told you in My Word, it's not that you won't have trouble or persecution...in fact you may have many. But take heart, for I have overcome the world and all it tries to throw at you! To rise above, you must do as I did. Find time to get away with your Father, Savior, and Comforter, and allow Us to refresh your soul. Pour upon Us all that weighs you down and floods your mind. Allow Us to bring you comfort and peace in exchange for your strife and discontent. Then allow Us to take care of it all. Remember, Our ways are not your ways and Our thoughts are not your thoughts.

If you take the time to refresh your soul, you will carry away with you a peace and weightlessness that will lift you above anything and everything that comes your way. This change in you will be a witness to others, as well. And though the demands and concerns you face will not be dealt with in your timing, but rather Ours, you can rest assured that all things truly will be worked out. In fact, they will be turned around to work in your favor and bring about new blessings in your life...

Love,
Jesus

"Meanwhile, the moment we get tired in the waiting, God’s Spirit is right alongside helping us along. If we don’t know how or what to pray, it doesn’t matter. He does our praying in and for us, making prayer out of our wordless sighs, our aching groans. He knows us far better than we know ourselves, knows our pregnant condition, and keeps us present before God. That’s why we can be so sure that every detail in our lives of love for God is worked into something good." Romans 8:28 MSG

GOD'S WHISPER...COME TO ME

Hi, Beloved Friend,

I was just journaling and these words poured out of my pen. I pray they nourish your soul as they did mine...

"Come to Me, My child, and lay down your burdens. Free your mind and your heart, and simply walk with Me. The weight you carry is not your own. It's far too heavy for you to handle, and with it in your arms, you cannot walk straight. My job is to carry all of your burdens for you so you can concentrate on enjoying each moment with Me. I am your constant guide and companion. I am your ever-present help in any time of need.

Run to Me, My child. Grab hold of My outstretched hands and never let go. My grip is eternal and will never be relaxed. Release yourself to fall into My everlasting arms. Feel My comfort surrounding you like a blanket. Allow Me to take care of you. Let Me take you in under the shelter of My wings. I am your sturdy support; your shelter in the storm.

Run to Me, My child, in good times and in bad. Seek My refuge on the days filled with sunshine and those drenched in rain. I am your shade in the heat and your blanket in the cold. Allow Me to love you as only I can. I will take care of you and satisfy you as with the richest of food. I know you better than you know yourself and I know what you need. When you come to Me, you will never be met with disappointment or regret. I am here with open arms. Always ready...always willing.

Come to Me, My child, and drink. Only I will truly satisfy your thirst. Come to Me and eat, and you will never be hungry again. Lay back in My arms and rest. Rest your fears and your worries, for I am more than enough. Come to Me and just be. Come to Me and be set free. In Me you will find true freedom and solace. I am your peace. I am your comfort. I am your God. Come, My child, and rest in Me..."

Love,
Jesus

 “Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly.” Matthew 11:28 MSG
