JEREMIAH 1:5 (2025)

JEREMIAH 1:5

“Even before I formed you in the womb 

I have known you; 

even before you were born 

I had set you apart, 

and appointed you a prophet to the nations!”

---- mine,

Every human being, every child has been first fashioned, and conceived in the Heart, Mind, and dreams of God, the Most High. Before you were ever born, the love of God and the goodness of God pondered over you and longed for you to be born. You were created to give joy to the Lord, in fulfilling all that the Father desires of you, in His divine plan, you will truly know and relish the purpose for which He created you, and your heart will rejoice. God's purpose for your life is to radiate His goodness, His holiness, His perfection, His kindness, and His love so that everyone you encounter all the days of your life will see the Father in you. You are so loved, ---- my own, that God stoops low over you, delighting in you. Stay close to Me, to the Father, and do nothing to grieve the Holy Spirit abiding in you. Remain in My love always and remember no power can separate you from the love of God in Me. Abide in Me as I abide in you. Ask for anything and it will be given to you. Remember, you are co-heir with Me to the Kingdom of My Father. Rejoice and be glad and walk with the confidence of one who has God for your Father, the Son as the Bridegroom of your soul, and the Holy Spirit who unites you in love to the Father and the Son. Never lose sight of the purpose for which God created you and your eternal destiny.

MARK 5:48, 50B, 51 (2025)

MARK 5:48, 50B, 51

Jesus saw his disciples straining at the oars, 

for the wind was against them; 

and before daybreak he came to them, walking on the lake, 

and he was going to pass them by. 

When they saw him walking on the lake, 

they thought it was a ghost and cried out; 

for they all saw him and were terrified. 

But, at once, he called to them, 

“Courage! It is I; don’t be afraid!” 

Then Jesus got into the boat with them, 

and the wind died down. 

They were completely astonished.

---- mine,

Every so often, storms will come into your life. This is not new to you; you have experienced trials, troubles, difficulties, heartache, heartbreak, grief, and loss at regular intervals in your life. Be grateful for all of them. They are not sent to punish you but to purify you, to make you strong to face the enemy. Every storm you face, do so with faith and with the sure knowledge that I AM right beside you. I will not allow the wind, the waves, or the storm to destroy you, causing you to perish; rather, you must know that at no time were you in danger. As high as the waves grow and toss you about, and no matter how strong the gale force of the wind threatens to crash against the boat and break it to pieces, this will not happen. I, the Lord your God, am with you, and even though it appears that I AM indifferent or unaware of your plight, I AM fully aware of the trials you face. My grace is enough for you. My Presence ensures that no matter what tricks the devil uses to destroy you, I have the final word. I will face the storm with you, and you will always hear Me cry out above the sound of the winds and the waves, “Courage! It is I; don’t be afraid!” The wind will die down and become a gentle breeze, and I will bring you in safety to the harbor of My Sacred Heart. Do you trust Me ---- my own? Do you trust My Word? Be not afraid!
