Turn to Me, My child, in all things.  Come to Me for comfort, find in Me wisdom for the day, receive from Me the provision I have promised daily. I long to embrace you in My arms and let you find the blessings I have prepared for you. 

Spend time alone in your heart with Me, My dear one, let your thoughts become focused on Me. I have much to tell you and you have much to learn of Me. Set aside the cares and concerns that distract you, and hear Me speaking encouragement and strength into your life as I express My love for you. 

You must seek Me with your whole heart, focused and eager, because that which I have prepared for you is hidden. Do not be discouraged by this or disheartened, for that which you seek is not hidden from you, but it is hidden for you. 

As you look for Me and follow My footprints, hearing My whispers, drawing close and recognizing My fragrance, you will encounter those things which speak to you of the depth and width and length and height of My love. Do not settle for the crumbs and hand-fulls that others share from the abundance I have given them, but persist in your pursuit and receive all that is yours from My hand. Do not be content to only hear someone else tell you how much I love you, but endure and hear the full expression of My love for you from My own lips. 

Although the path is challenging because the world will place brambles and thorns in your way, the flesh will put stumbling stones and rocks on your path, and the enemy will flood the way to drag you down and mire your progress, still I am with you and will make the way for you. Turn always to Me.

May you understand in humility and gratitude that God loved you first and sent His Son, Jesus Christ, as an atoning sacrifice for your sins so that you might live because of His work and love one another, relying on the love God has for you, so that His love is made complete. 1 John 4

May you live in the calm certainty of God's love for you, and know God's love in your life for others, having no fear of the day of judgment, for His perfect love drives out any fear of punishment, freeing you to love God and love others, giving to their needs just as God has given to your needs. 1 John 4

May you lift up your eyes to the Lord, whose throne is in heaven, just as the eyes of a slave look to the hand of their master, till He shows you His mercy and lovingkindness. Psalm 123

May you endure the contempt of the arrogant and the ridicule of the proud for the Lord has mercy upon you. Psalm 123
