Granting Rest to the Old Mare Within

 


My child,

If you open your heart and truly listen, you will hear My message echo softly, again and again:

Today.
Not yesterday’s weight.
Not tomorrow’s worry.
Today.

Just for today, receive the breath I give you.
Choose to live—not by striving, but by faith.
Let trust be your resting place.

Every morning, gently guide the “old mare” within you who you push too hard.
Come. Let Me lead her to stillness.
To lush meadows where grace grows freely.
To quiet places where she can lie down and be restored.

You do not need to earn My love.
You are already Mine.

One day at a time, let Me love you.
Let My love be your nourishment, your shelter, your song.

Listen for Me in the hush of morning.
I am always speaking.
Calling you to live in the NOW—where peace waits, and I walk beside you.

With love beyond measure,
