A good day...

My prayer:

I am exhausted after a pretty wonderful day filled with friends and perspective but I want to hear your voice before I drop off to sleep. What is on your mind?

What God Said Tonight:

You found a place of love, kindness and generosity today and you stayed in it for most of the day. That is a good day. You found a way to give and receive comfort and love. That is a good day. You saw the opportunities in the day and took them and that was a good day. 

Now, my sweet daughter, rest and have a good night knowing my love rests in you. Well done.

Kindness and goodness...

My prayer:

I am searching out, and thankfully finding, kindness. 

This world has gotten so violent (words, weapons, natural disasters, terrorism). From the smallest unkindness to the greatest tragedy, it rages. And still, when I look, really look, I find great acts of kindness. A kind word, a senseless generosity, a small act of putting others before oneself, these things all exist. These things give me respite from the world.

God, I pray that I can be someone's spot of kindness each day.

What God Said Tonight:

I am a seed planted within each of you. I am in your core. With me in you, goodness must come out of you. 

Fertile ground...

My prayer:

Finding a place of joy no matter the circumstances around me, that is a true and profound blessing God. Thank you for showing me joy in the midst of the storm today. Living life with you, there are always little jewels of joy in the most unexpected places.

What God Said Tonight:

I have found fertile and lush ground to sow my Word into. It is ground that is already producing. My Word will take root in this ground and grow in a way that has not been seen before. 

The ground has proven itself. My Word has proven itself. Together they will be amazing.

No shame...

My prayer:

Praying for peace. Praying for favor. Praying for healing. Praying for us all.

What God Said Tonight:

You come to me, bowed down, covered in your spotted cloak. You approach me with fear and reverence. That would have been necessary before I brought you my son. That approach was needed before you were redeemed. 

Now, in your redeemed and restored state, you can approach me with confidence. You can approach me with your head held high, uncovered and whole. You can approach me as a beloved child or a much loved spouse. 

You can approach me, anytime and anywhere. I am always ready for you. I am always eager to see you. My love for you has overwhelmed everything else. 

I loved you to much to see you covered in shame. Do not put on that cloak of shame again. You do not need it. It is no longer yours. 

I love you.

Recognizing God's love...

My prayer:

Today I saw a glimpse of what your amazing core healing that you have shown me over the last several years, could possibly do for someone else. As much as I have loved the wholeness and freedom that you have brought me to, this is the day I have been waiting for. The day when I think I am going to be able to see you heal someone I love so deeply at their very core. 

God, I want your core healing for everyone. Can you imagine what a world this would be if we were all healed and whole? If no one in the world felt the need to protect themselves by hurting someone else? If everyone saw themselves as you see them, beautiful, restored and whole? My mind nearly explodes with the mere concept of it. It would be so amazing! 

Maybe that is what the new heaven and the new earth is all about? If we are all whole, redeemed and healed...WOW! Thank you Jesus.

What God Said Tonight:

There is a rhythm and a timing to my will. I am not rushed. I know the timing of every last thing in this world. I am not frantic. I know when and where each thing needs to happen. I am not worried. My plan has not changed. 

I am excited. I am expectant. I am on the edge of my seat waiting for the next season. 

The glory, my glory is coming and will be seen around the world. My presence will fall heavily on this world. Those who know me will experience my presence as the intense love that I have for them. Those who don't know me will feel very uncomfortable. It will still be my love but they will not know it, they will think they do not deserve it they may even try to run from it. 

Tell people about my love. Help them. Even if they don't receive it now, maybe your description will help them recognize it when I come. There will be those who come to me in those days. They will be the ones who can recognize me through what they have been told, even if they can't recognize me for themselves. 

I love you!

Water in the river...

My prayer:

I see you working things together God. I see you arranging things that I could not have imagined. 

I LOVE WHEN YOU DO THAT!!! 

It is so amazing and humbling to watch you create a plan and execute it so perfectly. I love to watch you work. Thank you for letting me be a part of your plans God!

What God Said Tonight:

My will for you is like water in a river. It flows and ebbs. Sometimes it stays around in a lake for awhile. Those are times of rest and community. Then, when it is time, I move you down the river.

Your life is meant to be lived in motion. Some lives are meant to be lived in stasis. Your life is meant to be lived in motion. 

You next new thing is around the corner and you are going to love it.

Neighbors...

My prayer:

I really have nothing to say tonight God but I want to hear your sweet voice before I go to sleep. Speak to me Lord?

What God Said Tonight:

Your neighbors across the way are very interested in you. They watch to see what you are doing and where you are going. Your neighbors are watching. 

You may be the only child of mine they see. Make sure that thy see me in you. If all they see is the person, why would they ever want to know me. If all they see is you with the same struggles as they have. 

The benefits of my son-ship are vast but if people do not see those benefits reflected in you, they will never find me. 

I love you. We will talk more later.
