Quashing the voices of disapproval


 My child, So many of you carry the ache of others’ disapproval. You feel the sting of human judgment and wonder if it reflects the truth. But listen to the Scripture: “Who will accuse those whom God has chosen? God has approved of them. Who will condemn them?” (Romans 8:33-34 GWT).

Repeat those words any time you feel disapproval, and the Word of God will set you free. Let them echo through your soul. I am the One who holds the gavel—and I have declared you innocent. Washed in My blood, you are accepted, covered, and cherished. The opinions of others—even your own harsh inner voice—hold no power beside My verdict.

When their words unsettle you … when your thoughts accuse… return to Me. Whisper it aloud if you must: “God approves of me, who will condemn? God approves of me, who will condemn?”


Of course, the answer to that is no one. No one, not the most spiteful person, has the right to contradict what I say is true.

I do not condemn you. I intercede for you. I plead your cause continually, not out of obligation but out of boundless love. My death and resurrection secured your freedom, and nothing—nothing—can separate you from My love.

So rest, beloved. Trust My approval above every voice. It is enough. With love that cannot be undone, – Jesus


With love beyond measure,

God’s never too busy to hear your prayer


He Listens, Always There is no such thing as a small prayer in the eyes of God. No whispered need goes unnoticed, no quiet ache is ignored. Whether your words tumble out with tears or stay hidden beneath silence, the One who formed your heart is already listening.

In this voice-only reflection, you’re gently reminded that you never have to measure your worthiness before coming to Him. He hears the tiniest sigh and holds every request—spoken or unspoken—with deep compassion.

Let this message be a reminder: you are never interrupting Him. His door is always open. His heart is always turned toward you.

With love beyond measure,

Be Held: Resting in the Love of the One Who Names the Stars



There are 1 septillion stars (which is 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 stars) in the observable universe. It is a number so vast the human mind cannot grasp it. And even more profound is the fact that I have given each star its own name (Isaiah 40:26). Each star. A different name for each of 200 septillion stars.

I name the stars, each one, as a reflection of My boundless attention. If I care for inanimate objects this way, how much more do I know your heart, your struggles, and your joys?” How much more valuable are you, my child, than 1 septillion stars.

I love every created thing, living and not living. Everything in My creation is good and excellent, including you (Genesis 1:31). You are not just part of a vast universe, but you are personally known and cherished by Me, the Creator.

So you can understand that I hold you and keep track of every molecule in your body. You are safe in My heart – all of you, mind, body, and soul.

The message is this: Be Held. Lean in and be held. Feel my arms around you and rest in My divine love rather than striving to be worthy of it. Absorb my love. Remember you are safe and beloved. Always.

Think back to a time My love gently shifted your path—how did you feel? What changed in you?


With love beyond measure,

God loves to say yes!

 Image of delighted father giving a gift to his daughter who is thrilled. It has the text: Your heavenly Father loves to give good gifts to those who ask Him!  (paraphrase of Matthew 7:11)

I hear you cry out to Me with your heart-wrenching need. I embrace your desperation. But you doubt My intentions and My desire to say yes. I am like any other parent—I love to say yes to anything you ask, and I will if I possibly can.

But do you think I sit behind a huge desk as a judge, preferring to refuse if I can? Do you think of Me as a divine slot machine? You insert your prayer like a token and cross your fingers, hoping upon hope that somehow I might agree and grant your request?

Do you say, “Your will, not mine, be done,” not as a surrender to My love, but with defeat—thinking I could not possibly want, with a father’s love, to give you your heart’s desire?

It’s not that you believe I can’t answer—it’s that you believe I won’t. Yet, just as a loving parent cannot give their child candy before dinner, I cannot say yes to what would bring hurt instead of blessing, or ultimately not be the best for you. My love does not hesitate to give, but it also knows when waiting—or even saying no—is the greater act of care. I never withhold lightly.

But, My child, you do not need to beg. You do not need to plead, bargain, or offer grand sacrifices. I am not waiting for you to prove your worth or to make promises you cannot keep. You do not need to offer Me your firstborn or vow a lifetime of service in desperation. All you need to do is ask.

I am a Father who longs to give good gifts, a Shepherd who listens to the cries of His flock. My love for you is not measured by how hard you struggle or how desperately you plead—it is already boundless, overflowing, eager to bless.

Pray to Me freely and boldly; believe I will say yes if I can. Don’t give up. Your prayers just might change the world.

With love beyond measure,

You are my Favorite as if you were the only one ...


"You are My favorite," I say to you—not in comparison to others, but as though you are the only one I love. My love is not a cold theological concept; it is a consuming fire, full of passion and intimacy. I give all My attention to you as if no one else exists, yet this does not diminish My infinite love for others. Do you see it in Scripture? I spoke with Moses “face to face, as one speaks to a friend” (Exodus 33:11).

Only I, in My omnipotence and boundless nature, love each person with ALL My love, fully and completely. I give all My unending love to you personally. Even though I love everyone, it is as if I love no one but you.

So next time you think of My love, picture it that way—just you and Me, sitting together, Me gazing at you with unwavering adoration. Don’t write off My love as some abstract, theological truth spread out to everyone impersonally. While it is true that I love each and every person, My love for you is personal and unique, just as a parent’s love for each child is unique and irreplaceable.

Feel My love pouring over you—its warmth, its strength. Feel My breath on your face, My hand lifting your chin. I endured the cross for this, for you. As it says in Isaiah 53, I bore every wound, every stripe, so we could have this relationship. My sacrifice was not out of duty; it was out of passion for you.

So, the next time you feel unloved or inadequate, stop, be still for a moment and remember this: The depth of My love is as scandalous as it is infinite. Let it fill every corner of your soul and know that you are cherished beyond comprehension.

Revel in this love. Revel in Me.

With love beyond measure,

Rooted in Eternity: The Call That Endures

 


I have called you from ancient times and I have given you My Own Heart. Nothing can ever take these away. “No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord” (Romans 8:39)
