Always...

My prayer:

Tomorrow we celebrate you resurrection. Now, there is something I can celebrate with no reservation or confusion. That is the day when it all made sense. That is the day when you made a way for us to know you personally. That is the day that changed everything!

Thank you for being the Way Jesus!

What God Said Tonight:

Each experience in life is like a pebble or a grain of sand. Get enough of them and you get a beautiful beach. Get even more and you get a mountain. Each moment of your life is meant to add to the others. It is not meant to be kept in isolation. You are a culmination of everything in our life so far. 

One of the key turning points in your life was when you accepted me into your life. But, I have always been with you. Before you knew I existed, I was already with you and loving you. 

My sacrifice and my resurrection was the natural result of my love for you. 

Love and sacrifice...

My prayer: 

Good Friday is always bitter sweet for me God. On the one hand, I am SO GRATEFUL for what you did for us. Without your sacrifice, I would be so lost. I can't even imagine how I would survive a day. You deserve a day where we remember and celebrate what you did for us. 

On the other hand, I HATE that you had to do it. I am pretty sure, had I been there with you, I would have cut off more than the guy's ear. I likely would have fought with everything I could think of to keep them from taking you. And that would have been a great tragedy. Maybe the biggest tragedy ever. 

It is hard when your will and love seem to be against each other. I say "seem to be' because in truth, there was so much more love in your sacrifice than in any other thought, act, or deed ever done. But, in my heart, it hurts to see someone I love make decisions that will end up causing them great pain. 

Maybe I am overthinking it all. In the end, I know that you had to do it and I know that without it we wouldn't be able to talk like we do. So, let me just say a very passionate but wholly inadequate "thank you." Your choice and your sacrifice truly has saved the world. 

What God Said Tonight:

If you had to pick between your best friends happiness and you mother's happiness, what would you do? Sometimes the choice is not as simple as following the love. 

My love for you is boundless and the best way for me to show you was to find a way that we could know each other and be together for all eternity. This is the price I paid and I would do it a million times over, if I had to, just to know you and to have you know me. 

My love brought you into being and my love will make room for you forever. Go and rest now. I will go with you. Now and forever my love.

 

Transportable plant...

My prayer:

What a great night God! Thank you for amazing friends who know you. Thank you for amazing opportunities that literally blow my mind. Thank you for the confirmation that all of this is your plan for our lives!!! You are wonderful and I can't wait to live each day with you in charge.

What God Said Tonight:

You are planted but I have planted you in a transportable pot for a reason. 

I have you firmly rooted in my love and you will grow in that love. But, I need to take you to different places with all of your roots and soil around you. I have no intention of transplanting you. I will not dig you up and move you to a different place. I am simply going to take you, and all that you are are planted in, and take you around the world to bless and be blessed. 

Your soil and your roots will not change. You will have them and the pot you all sit in with you wherever we go. But I will take you around the world. 

There is much to see and many to bless. Be ready to move but be assured, your roots and I go with you, always.

Remember love...

My prayer:

I can't think of a single thing to say tonight God but I am always ready to listen. What is on your mind?

What God Said Tonight:

Remember I love you. In every battle, in every struggle, in every celebration, remember I love you. That is all I ask. 

Remember my love, receive my love, and see how my love heals. 

I love you. I love you, I love you. 

Ever present help...

My prayer:

I ask for your help tomorrow God. It could be rough but I know with your help, it will all go wonderfully. 

Thank you for always making me succeed. Every success is a testimony of what the All Mighty God can do. I love you.

What God Said Tonight:

I am your ever present help. I will not leave you nor forsake you. I have loved you from before the time that you were formed in your mother's womb and I will love you for all eternity. 

You hare my child and as such, you are a royal priesthood that is destined to succeed. Every battle is won for the glory of God. 

Peace...

My prayer:

What a wonderful sense of peace you have given me tonight God. Not a peace from everything being wonderful but just a genuine peace and contentment. Thank you for that. These moments of peace are truly wonderful and a great rest from the craziness of everyday life. 

I know you have said in the past that this peace is there for us at any time. I have not learned how to live in this peace all of the time but I am grateful for the moments of it and I have hope that I will learn to stay in this place more and more. 

What God Said Tonight:

As the morning mist rises from the field of spring flowers, the beauty can take your breath away. The feeling of the cool mist on your face is like a kiss to start your day. 

Spring is so very close and the time for growing, playing, and celebration that comes with it. 

Everything is in place and ready for this next season. You will find many days of peace in it. Not that it will be uneventful. There will be a lot to experience, but at the base of it all, will be my peace. Your foundation will be my peace. 

I love you daughter and rest well.

Childlike joy...

My prayer:

Today came and went so fast, I feel like I blinked and it was gone. There was time for you to show your glory and kindness though. Thank you for all that you did today God. I give you all glory and honor. You are my reason for living and I love you.

What God Said Tonight:

Remember the little girl from this morning? She had a light in her and a joy that is seldom seen anymore. 

I delight in children. They are often so close to the original creation before sin and the world got involved. 

Cherish the children. Look into their eyes and see the joy that I intended for everyone. 

One day soon. We will have that joy again and it will be forever. The new beginning is on its way. While we wait, let me love your hurt and scars away.
