Resting in the Now

Sink down into the present like a bubble bath


My beloved child, rest in your limitations. Although I am omnipotent, and my existence spans from past to future across all eternity, you are finite. Your power is limited to the present moment. Don't spread yourself too thin. When you prioritize your energies and worries for the past and future, you drain your true power-source in the present. I am the Great I AM, not the Great I Was or the Great I Will Be (Exodus 3:14).

Take the present moment and sink down into it with me like a bubble bath. I can always be found in the present. Focus intently on a beautiful sight, sound, or sensation in real time. Take longer than might seem necessary to notice all the sights, sounds, and sensations around you. Stay there with me, and you will find peace and comfort.

"Do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own" (Matthew 6:34).

With love beyond measure,
