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,

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

Thanking is Giving

 

Jesus might say:

You may run to and fro serving me, giving until you are exhausted. You may give inordinate amounts of money to my causes, thinking you are bringing me joy, puffing yourself up. But I own all the gold in all the world, and I desire faith and rest, above sacrifice. I need nothing from man. Do not delude yourself by becoming drained for me. Burnout is not obedience. So, let the giving of thanks be your sacrifice to God. Your thanks and your love for others bring me joy, let these be your gifts.

Love,

Denying a duty-based faith, my goal is to free people up from condemnation and burdensome rules and present a perspective of the reader's freedom and God's unconditional love and acceptance. ~ Cyndi
