Freedom From the Hamster Wheel of Life

Is this your life?

Are you weary from the relentless pursuit of doing more, achieving more, and being more? Many of My beloved children are on the brink of exhaustion, caught in a cycle of overcommitment, sleepless nights, and emotional turmoil. You have heard it said, “If the Enemy can’t keep you from doing good things, he’ll get you doing too many good things.”

It’s a common belief that true obedience means trying harder and relentlessly working for Me. But, “anyone who enters My rest also rests from his own work, just as I did from Mine” (Hebrews 4:10). And John 6:29 declares, “This is the only work I want from you: Believe in the one I have sent.”It’s a common belief that true obedience means trying harder and relentlessly working for Me. But, “anyone who enters My rest also rests from his own work, just as I did from Mine” (Hebrews 4:10). And John 6:29 declares, “This is the only work I want from you: Believe in the one I have sent.”

I dwell within your heart, but do you ever wonder what I am doing there? I long to see through your eyes, touch through your hands, and love through your will and emotions. I yearn to live My life through your heart and body. I want you to be a window through which My Light shines, drawing others to Me with love.

Rest is not a passive activity; it requires surrender. It is the willingness to abandon self-effort and live by

Faith Makes You Good

And even the faith that gains my acceptance is a gift from me. (Eph 2:7-9)

Love,

When you weep, My heart breaks

 

Have you ever felt abandoned in your deepest pain? Know this: I feel every ounce of what you feel. In the dark night of your soul, in your storm, in your confusion, and in your sadness, I Am there. I Am not distant or indifferent; I Am the God who suffers alongside you, and My heart breaks with yours (Isaiah 63:9). I Am present in all places at all times, dwelling in the depths of your being, fully sharing in your sorrow and your struggle. I Am on the side of the sufferer, weeping with you, My beloved.

I, too, have suffered and sorrowed. I have been despised, rejected, and acquainted with grief. I carry your burdens and your pain upon My shoulders (Isaiah 53:2–5). I know the weight of this world.

I am closer than your tears, closer than your breath. You are never invisible to Me. I see you, crushed in spirit, and with My mighty right arm, I will save you.

Tossed But Not Torn: Deliverance from the Storm

Oh, My precious child, tossed and torn, weary and bruised. I am with you, now and always, to heal your wounds and calm your storm.

 Life's storms can strike without warning, leaving you feeling lost and overwhelmed, like a ship battling raging waves in the dead of night. But even in the fiercest tempest, I am a Light that never falters. Your emotions may scream that you are about to lose everything. You may be tossed every which way until you lose your sense of direction. But I am the Lighthouse. I am the Light that shows you the way. I am with you in the storm, yet I am never tossed about. Instead, I am anchored on solid ground, unwavering, guiding you safely Home.

If you will fix your eyes on My Light, on Me, and make one small positive choice, you will reach your destination. You will find safety. You will find deliverance. For as it is written, "The righteous may have many troubles, but the Lord delivers him from them all."

When it comes to Christian love, are you excluding yourself?

My beloved, you have embraced My command to love others, showing patience, kindness, and care to your neighbors. But I want you to savor the fruits of the Spirit for yourself, like a sweet slice of watermelon. My gifts—love, joy, and kindness—nourish both you and those around you. Love must include yourself.

The world is full of My creation, and as one of My magnificent creations (Psalm 139:14), you hold infinite value because you are made by an infinite and loving God. You are precious to Me, more than you can imagine. Every creature, everything I have made, deserves love, care, and respect—including you. When I commanded you to love your neighbor, I said, "as yourself" (Mark 12:31). Do not miss this truth: I long for you to love yourself as deeply and tenderly as you love others.

A Feast for the Soul (and Spaghetti for the Dog)

Psalm 145:15-16: "The eyes of all look to you, and you give them their food at the proper time. You open your hand and satisfy the desires of every living thing."

If a parrot can joyfully feed a dog spaghetti, imagine how much joy I find in nourishing your soul. But are you truly full, or is something still missing?

Just as this parrot takes such delight in feeding “his” dog spaghetti, I love nourishing you—both spiritually and physically. Have you ever felt that unshakable hunger, like something crucial is missing from your life? That’s spiritual hunger, a longing only I can satisfy.

One of these things is not like the others

 

When owls lay eggs they don’t hatch into cats. In the same way, cucumber seeds never produce onions, celery, or corn on the cob. Tulip bulbs do not turn into zinnias, evergreen trees, or forget-me-nots. In nature, you will always reap what you have sown because seeds can only reproduce according to their genetic code (Genesis 1:11-12, 24 NLT).

However, surprisingly, there is a beautiful exception to this rule: "Those who sow with tears will reap with songs of joy" (Psalm 126:5 NIV). If you have cried yourself to sleep countless times and have faced sorrow, depression, disappointment, and sadness, do not give up. Joy is on the way! Your tears are a secret weapon that have nourished the seeds of joy I have planted in the garden of your life. Difficult times and sorrows are the fertile ground where joy and blessings grow. One day soon joy will satisfy your soul.

I see your tears, and I want you to know they are not wasted. There’s a garden of joy growing right where you stand. Take a moment to look back on your journey—where has joy unexpectedly bloomed in the midst of your struggles? Your joy is on its way. Keep tending to your heart with hope, knowing that the harvest will be more joyful than you can imagine.

With love beyond measure,

Break Free: From Caterpillar Soup to Rainbow Wings

Have you ever felt as if your life had become liquified, messy, utterly unrecognizable. It's when disaster feels like too polite a word. When everything you thought you knew dissolves into a thick, swirling dread. But even in that swirling, soupy chaos, something miraculous is happening. Renewal isn't just on the way; it's already at work. And I am there, right in the thick of it, stirring the pot.

The righteous man may have many troubles, but the Lord delivers him from them all (Psalm 34:19). Note, it says ALL. It's not just a nice sentiment; it's a promise I keep.

Think about the butterfly; that incredible, impossible transformation. It’s a perfect picture of what I do. The caterpillar doesn't just sprout wings; it goes through a radical, almost violent, breakdown. It actually becomes a liquified worm. But within that “caterpillar soup,” there are a few remaining particles, core pieces that refuse to be destroyed. These particles become wings, eyes, and antennae. And that's the truth about you too. No matter how devastating your circumstances, the essence of who you are—the core of you—the part of you that is one with My Holy Spirit—is indestructible. "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new" (2 Corinthians 5:17).

The Surrender: Finding Peace in the Abyss

That gut-wrenching moment when you feel the ground giving way ... the fear of falling into the abyss. What if, instead of fighting, you simply let go?

We often perceive the abyss as a place of moral failure, sin, or utter ruin. We scramble, we claw, we exhaust ourselves trying to avoid the inevitable plunge. But what if the very thing we fear is the gateway to something profound?

I invite you to consider a radical shift: embrace the abyss. Stop the struggle. Allow yourself to fall. Discover that in the depths of that perceived darkness, you’ll find Me. Not as a judge, but as a redeemer, waiting with open arms.

This isn’t about expecting the worst, but about surrendering to the possibility. It’s about releasing the fear that holds you captive. Picture this: even in the darkest scenario, I am there, working all things for your good. By surrendering, you strip fear of its power.

In the heart of the abyss, you'll discover serenity, a profound peace born from letting go. You’ll find My unconditional acceptance, a love that transcends your perceived flaws and failures.

Take that leap of faith. Trust that I am here, waiting to catch you. In the surrender, you’ll find true rest.

So, when you feel the pull of the abyss, remember: it's not a place of destruction, but a sanctuary of surrender. Embrace the fall and discover the peace that awaits.

What a sparrow has to say about God's love

Imagine a love so extraordinary that it encompasses every living being, from the tiniest sparrow to the mightiest creature in the forest. A love that knows every bird that soars and every animal that roams, extending even to the very hairs on your head. This is my unshakable, divine affection for you and every living thing. Plunge into the profound truth that I see you, hold you, and cherish you beyond measure.

"What is the price of two sparrows—one copper coin? But not a single sparrow can fall to the ground without your Father knowing it. And the very hairs on your head are all numbered." 

(Matthew 10:29-30)

I am your Champion, the Lover of your soul. My love for all creation runs deep. Even the smallest, most overlooked creatures—such as the insects crawling through the grass or the birds soaring through the heavens—are cherished by Me. I know each one intimately. Every bird that falls from the sky is under My watchful care. Every animal that passes away does so with My tender awareness. Nothing in My creation escapes My notice.
