Held in Oneness

2 Samuel 22:17 (VOICE) He reached down from above me, He held me; He pulled me from the raging waters.

Beloved, I AM Olam Zerowa, the everlasting arms. In My embrace you are safely held. So reach for Me (which is simply allowing yourself to tune in to what already is), knowing I will always respond (for I AM always here), and cling to Me knowing in my hold you are always safe. 

My love knows no time nor distance. I AM ever-present and ever loving you. Rest in the delight of that intimacy, knowing I am steadfast and true, and I will never leave you or forsake you. We are united in love. We are one.

Call and I Hear

2 Samuel 22:4-7 (VOICE) I call on the Eternal, who is worthy to be praised, and I have been rescued from my enemies. The waves of death surrounded me; the torrents of terror tugged at me. The sorrows of the grave tightly tangled me; the snares of death met me. In my time of need I called upon the Eternal One; I called to my True God for help. He heard my voice from His temple, and my cry came to His ears.

Beloved, whenever you call, I hear you, for I AM always listening. I AM YHVH Shema, the Lord who hears, and I AM keenly attuned to your voice. You never need to beg for me to respond, for I AM not cold nor distant and My ear is always inclined to your cries. 

I have a perspective that is broader than yours though, so how I respond may be different than what you hope or expect, but you can always trust My response comes from a place of love. So while I may not “rescue” you from a challenge, I will walk beside you through it and support you as you go. Trust that I can and will work all things for good. You are heard. You are seen. And you are loved.

Wondrous Oneness

2 Samuel 22:2-3 (VOICE) [He is] My strong shield, my horn that calls forth rescue, my tall-walled tower and strong refuge, My savior from violence.

Beloved, I AM your horn of strength. You have nothing to fear for I AM, and we are one. I delight in you as a husband delights in his bride. I would give all My limitless strength to protect you. You are loved and you are safe. 

I AM fully able to protect you and to snatch you from the edge before you fall. Surrender to the wondrous oneness, and trust you are safely held in My everlasting arms.

Dare to Believe Me

Luke 12:6 (TPT) “What is the value of your soul to God? Could your worth be defined by any amount of money? God doesn’t abandon or forget even the small sparrow he has made. How then could he forget or abandon you? What about the seemingly minor issues of your life? Do they matter to God? Of course they do! So you never need to worry, for you are more valuable to God than anything else in this world.

Beloved, you cannot begin to fathom how much you mean to Me and how precious you are in My sight. Think of the person that you love the most, and then imagine that they refused to believe that you loved them. Imagine that they not only doubted your heart for them, but they doubted they were even worthy of receiving the love you were offering. Imagine how hard it would be watching them make choices that underscored the lack of value they placed on themselves – like someone insisting a hundred dollar bill only deserved to be exchanged for a single penny candy.

That, beloved, is what I go through each day, and I go through it multiplied on a grand scale. Few of My children begin to comprehend My capacity for love and their inherent worthiness to receive it. So choose to be different. Dare to believe Me. Take Me at My word and trust My love for you. Reflect My love to others that they might know it too. Choose something greater – choose faith, choose trust, choose love.

Lean into Me

Song of Solomon 8:5 (TLB) “Who is this coming up from the desert, leaning on her beloved?” King Solomon: “Under the apple tree where your mother gave birth to you in her travail, there I awakened your love.”

Beloved, lean into Me as I awaken your love for Me at new levels. Walk with Me in the cool of the day – allow Me to hold you close. For this is the place from which intimacy is born. Yes, it comes from the quiet moments of easy sharing that occur as you “do life” together.

So walk with Me, beloved. Share the things of your heart and listen as I share mine. Just as intimacy between a husband and wife occurs in the many moments of both casual and deep sharing, so it is with Me. So intentionally include Me in your daily life. Lean into Me.

Remember Who I AM

Psalm 86:9 (TPT) Lord Almighty, you are the one who created all the nations; Look at them—they’re all on their way! Yes, the day will come when they all will worship you and put your glory on display.

Beloved, I AM Creator. I AM Lord of all. I AM the God of Heaven, and the earth rests at My feet. Just pause for a moment and consider that. Consider what it means that the earth is My footstool. Whatever portion of the natural world you’ve seen is still only a fraction of its entirety. And it is My footstool.

And yet, I not only take note of you, but My eye is ever on you and I’ve chosen you to be My very own. The problems that feel so big to you are so small to Me – not even problems at all, and yet I AM mindful of each and every one because you are so precious to Me. Remember who I AM, and remember who you are to Me.

Psalm 86:9 (TPT) Lord Almighty, you are the one who created all the nations; Look at them—they’re all on their way! Yes, the day will come when they all will worship you and put your glory on display. You are the one and only God. What miracles! What wonders! What greatness belongs to you! Teach me more about you, how you work and how you move, so that I can walk onward in your truth until everything within me brings honor to your name. With all my heart and passion I will thank you, my God! I will give glory to your name, always and forever!

El Roi (the God Who Sees)

Genesis 16:13 (VOICE) As a result of this encounter, Hagar decided to give the Eternal One who had spoken to her a special name because He had seen her in her misery. Hagar: I’m going to call You the God of Seeing because in this place I have seen the One who watches over me.

Beloved, you are never outside My sight. You are always in My view. I AM mindful of everything concerning you. So in moments of deep sorrow, know that I AM there. And in moments of great joy, know that I AM there. In every moment of every season, I AM with you through it all.

Refuse to believe that you are unimportant or easily overlooked, for even if those around you turn a blind eye, know that I never will. For I AM El Roi – the God who sees, and you are the apple of My eye, beloved, and I will never shift My gaze.

The Apple of My Eye

Psalm 17:8 (VOICE) Keep close watch over me as the apple of Your eye; shelter me in the shadow of Your wings.

Beloved, just as you are pained if someone injures the pupil of your eye, so do I feel every hurt and wound you experience. For you are the apple of My eye – My beloved one, My focus, and I care for you more than you could begin to comprehend.

Though trials will surely come – for they always do – know that the shelter of My wings is always there for you to turn to. I AM steadfast and I AM faithful, and My love continues from generation to generation without end. So rest, knowing I AM watching over you and I AM with you, for you are Mine. Continue reading “The Apple of My Eye”

Fully Known and Fully Loved

Psalm 17:7 (VOICE) Put Your marvelous love on display for all to see. Liberator of those who long for shelter beside You, set them safely away from their enemies, ever welcomed by grace.

Beloved, be wrapped in My love and grace, for you are safely in my grip and held dear to My heart. Those who dwell in safety beside Me, have chosen to rest in My presence. All are welcome. My grace is sufficient and My love abounds.

Draw near, beloved. There is none beside Me. My love for you far exceeds your grandest imaginations, so rest in Me. Be set free by the beauty of being fully known and fully loved. Continue reading “Fully Known and Fully Loved”

Keenly Attuned

Psalm 17:6 (VOICE) I am crying aloud to You, O True God, for I long to know Your answer. Hear me, O God. Hear my plea. Hear my prayer for help.

Beloved, I AM keenly attuned to your voice. I don’t miss one utterance that falls from your lips. I know you so well that I don’t miss even your unspoken heart cries. I hear them all. I AM always ready and I AM always listening.

In the same way a good parent would not sit back and watch as their child struggled and drowned, know that I too am keenly attentive to your every need, so you don’t have to beg for My help or My attention – I give it freely. I listen to each whisper, and anticipate every need. So trust that I AM with you and that I will never leave.

Psalm 17:5-8 (VOICE) I will press on —moving steadfastly forward along Your path. I will not look back. I will not stumble. I am crying aloud to You, O True God, for I long to know Your answer. Hear me, O God. Hear my plea. Hear my prayer for help. Put Your marvelous love on display for all to see. Liberator of those who long for shelter beside You, set them safely away from their enemies, ever welcomed by grace. Keep close watch over me as the apple of Your eye; shelter me in the shadow of Your wings.
