BARUCH 4:5, 21, 27, 30 (2024)

BARUCH 4:5, 21, 27, 30

Take courage, my people,
   who perpetuate Israel’s name!

Take courage, my children, cry to God,
   and he will deliver you from the power and hand of the enemy.

Take courage, my children, and cry to God,
   for you will be remembered by the one who brought this upon you.

Take courage, O Jerusalem,
   for the one who named you will comfort you.

---- mine,

Take courage! It is I who console you, I who speak to you, I who assure you that I AM with you in time and in eternity. It is I who call you by name and assure you that I hear and answer all your prayers. Be not afraid for I walk with you in this valley of tears and not just with you but with all the sheep who belong to My flock. Those who stray I will seek and find. I will pursue them until I find them and those that are wounded I will bind their wounds, those who are lame I will carry, and those that are sick I will heal and bring to perfect health. Do not be afraid ---- my own, for as often as you need Me to console you, I will, I will wipe your tears. Come to Me, lean on Me, trust Me tell Me everything, and have confidence in Me and in My Word. I AM God and I will hear, always, and I will bring speedy help when the time is right. Trust Me! Have courage! Be not afraid!

PSALM 103:13-14, 17-18 (2024)

PSALM 103:13-14, 17-18

As a father has compassion on his children,
so Yahweh pities those who fear him.
For he knows how we are formed, 

he remembers that we are dust.

But Yahweh’s kindness is forever with those
who fear him; so is his justice, for their children’s

children, for those who keep his Covenant and
remember his commands; 

for those who put them into practice.

---- mine,

What is fear of the Lord? It is loving God so completely that you dread doing anything that would wound Me. Meditate on the Father's love for you, and for those whom you cry out to Me day and night, see how the Father so loved the world that He gave Me up, His only Son so that whoever believes in Me will not perish but have eternal life. Have faith, the time for mourning and distress will end. Look to the future with hope and confidence for yourself and for each member of your family. I AM God and nothing is impossible for Me. I have made a Covenant with you and by My Blood, and My Word, and My Holy Spirit I have bound Myself irrevocably to you. Be of good cheer I have overcome the world. 

PSALM 144:9-10, 12 (2024)

PSALM 144:9-10, 12

I will sing a new song to you, O God;
upon a ten-stringed harp I will play to you,
the one who gives victory to kings,
who rescues his servant David.
May our sons in their youth
be like plants full grown,
our daughters like corner pillars,
cut for the building of a palace.

---- mine,

Never cease to praise and thank the God who loves you, who laid down His life for you, who created you to be happy in this life and to enjoy eternal bliss in the life to come. As I have assured you in the past and continue to assure you, I will not leave you nor will I leave your family. I AM God and My Word is true. Believe and believing rejoice for the Lord your God is faithful. He who formed you in your mother's womb, who knows your name, who has carved it on the palm of His Hand will never leave you nor forsake you. All that I have promised you I will accomplish. Have faith and rejoice and watch for the signs of My love they are to remind you that I AM with you always. I will bless your children and they in turn will praise Me all their days. Rejoice and be glad for I AM God and My Word is true.

ISAIAH 43:18-19, 44:8 (2024)

 ISAIAH 43:18-19, 44:8

Do not remember the former things,
   or consider the things of old.
I am about to do a new thing;
   now it springs forth, do you not perceive it?
I will make a way in the wilderness
   and rivers in the desert.
Do not fear, or be afraid;
   have I not told you from of old and declared it?
   You are my witnesses!
Is there any god besides me?
   There is no other rock; I know not one.

---- mine,

Do not look behind, do not dwell on the things that are long gone, do not be like Lot's wife or you will become immobile, stuck to the past, unable to move forward. Instead, count your blessings and dwell on the innumerable ways I have been with you, taken you by the hand, and led you out of darkness into My own marvelous light. It is I who have dried your tears, I who have comforted and consoled you time and time again and assured you that I AM with you. I hear and answer all your prayers and petitions for your family. Do not be afraid ---- my own, you are Mine. I will never leave you nor will I forsake you. I AM God and I have spoken. Believe and believing rejoice. Watch for the wonderful things in store for you and your loved ones. It has already begun. Watch and pray, praise and worship, and offer thanks with a grateful heart always and everywhere, and know that I AM God who never fails

JOHN 4:50, 53 (2024

JOHN 4:50, 53

Jesus said to him, ‘Go; your son will live.’ The man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him and started on his way. The father realized that this was the hour when Jesus had said to him, ‘Your son will live.’ So he himself believed, along with his whole household.

---- mine,

Do not lose heart, do not lose courage, do not lose hope. Have faith even as the wind grows stronger, the waves are higher and threaten to swamp and drown you, even as your life is buffeted from every side - even as the darkness grows darker and the way narrower and more difficult, even then know that I AM God and My Word, spoken once, will accomplish all that I have sent it to do. Believe and believing rejoice for no power can stop what God has ordained. Be of good cheer - I have overcome the world. I AM Life and in Me, there is no darkness and I will draw all to Myself and all sadness and grieving will end. Do not be afraid, ---- my own. DO NOT BE AFRAID.

BARUCH 5:5-6 (2024)

BARUCH 5:5-6

Arise, O Jerusalem, stand upon the height;
   look towards the east,
and see your children gathered from west and east
   at the word of the Holy One,
   rejoicing that God has remembered them.
For they went out from you on foot,
   led away by their enemies;
but God will bring them back to you,
   carried in glory, as on a royal throne.

---- mine,

Remember, recall, and reflect on every promise I have made to you and continue to make to you regarding those you love, for whom you agonize and pray daily. I have assured you over and over again that they are Mine and I will never abandon them or you. Your sighs, your cries, your tears, your moans, and groans, your silent sighing through the day, in the night, and in the early watches of dawn I hear and I will answer. Be not afraid ---- my own. They were mine before they were yours and all the things that break your heart concerning your loved ones break Mine as well. By My Word, My eternal Word, My Life-giving Word I have declared that I will save and My Word shall not return to Me without accomplishing all that I have declared it to do. Be at peace. Calm your anxious soul. Rest in My love and be still - the storm has passed and all is well.

MATTHEW 8:24-26 (2024)

MATTHEW 8:24-26

A gale arose on the lake, so great that the boat was being swamped by the waves; but he was asleep. And they went and woke him up, saying, ‘Lord, save us! We are perishing!’ And he said to them, ‘Why are you afraid, you of little faith?’ Then he got up and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a dead calm.

---- mine,

Many storms will assail you in the course of your life on earth how you face them and how you come through them determines whether or not you truly know that you are Mine and that through it all I AM with you,. I will keep you safe. Have faith ---- my own, even when the storm is creating havoc around you and it appears that you and those you love are perishing know that I AM with you. I AM aware and whether or not you think that I AM asleep I AM with you in the storm, in the calm, in the wind, in the waves, and in the boat of your life. No harm shall come to you or to your loved ones. I have taken you all by the hand and will lead you to still and calm waters safety. I will command every storm in your lives to hush and be still and 'all will be well and all manner of thing will be well'. Have no fear for I have overcome the world.

LAMENTATIONS 3:21-26 (2024)

LAMENTATIONS 3:21-26

But this I call to mind,
   and therefore I have hope:

The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases,
   his mercies never come to an end;
they are new every morning;
   great is your faithfulness.
‘The Lord is my portion,’ says my soul,
   ‘therefore I will hope in him.’

The Lord is good to those who wait for him,
   to the soul that seeks him.
It is good that one should wait quietly
   for the salvation of the Lord.

---- mine,

I know you find it difficult to trust Me. Morning after morning you come into My Presence and you offer Me the first hours of your day and all the while you wait in hope for an answer to all your prayers, your pleadings, your supplications on behalf of those you love. It seems to you that I do not hear and that I keep you waiting while you continue to importune Me with sighs, tears, and a broken heart. You wonder how much longer you must wait before the light shines through. ---- my own, it is necessary to trust Me. I know The waiting is hard but wait patiently in faith and hope trusting in My love not just for you but for those whom you plead for day and night. I have heard and I will answer. You on your part must continue to plead the cause of your loved ones and in My time, in My way, according to My will, I will hear and I will answer and your joy will be exceedingly great. But for now, you must wait watch, and pray.

EZEKIEL 34:15-16 (2024)

EZEKIEL 34:15-16

I myself will be the shepherd of my sheep, and I will make them lie down, says the Lord God. I will seek the lost, and I will bring back the strayed, and I will bind up the injured, and I will strengthen the weak, but the fat and the strong I will destroy. I will feed them with justice.

---- mine,

Once again, I, the Lord your God, your Savior, Redeemer, the Bridegroom of your soul, your spouse to whom you are bound with cords that cannot be broken, assure you once more, as I solemnly declare that I will bring your children, the sheep of My flock, safely home. The bruised I will heal, the lost I will seek and pursue until I find them and I will pick them up in My arms and restore them to the flock. I will feed the hungry I will give drink to the thirsty. I will refresh the weary. I will comfort the sorrowful. I will be their joy and they will delight in Me. Be not afraid, ---- my own, and do not doubt, I have made this promise to you and I will keep it - I always keep My Word, for I AM God.

PSALM 138:6-8 (2024)

 PSALM 138:6-8

For though the Lord is high, he regards the lowly;
   but the haughty he perceives from far away.

Though I walk in the midst of trouble,
   you preserve me against the wrath of my enemies;
you stretch out your hand,
   and your right hand delivers me.
The Lord will fulfill his purpose for me;
   your steadfast love, O Lord, endures for ever.
   Do not forsake the work of your hands.

---- mine,

You must wait patiently on Me and trust in My promises to you. Always keep before you this truth that I AM faithful and true to My Word. Remember it is the little ones who find favor in My sight. Never forget that it was I who sought you relentlessly, I picked you up from the miry pit, I washed you clean and I clothed you with mercy and grace. You are the work of My hand and I will never leave you, I will never forsake you. I have claimed you for Myself. I have set the seal of My Holy Spirit on you, You are Mine. I have given you the dignity of being called a daughter of the Most High for you are My sister and My bride. Remember to whom you belong and lift up your head and walk with the dignity that belongs to a child of God.

ESTHER 7:2B (2024)

ESTHER 7:2B

The king again said to Esther, ‘What is your petition, Queen Esther? It shall be granted you. And what is your request? Even to the half of my kingdom, it shall be fulfilled.’ 

---- mine,

Every prayer you pray to Me and My Father in Heaven, all your pleading to My Mother, Queen of heaven and earth, the holy saints in heaven, and all the angels rise up like fragrant incense before Me seated on My throne of mercy and grace. It is I who pour out My Spirit on you. Be not afraid for I AM your King and you are my own little spouse, my bride, my own little one. Lean on Me cling to Me, confide in Me, tell Me everything that troubles you makes you anxious, makes your heart tremble with fear. I am God and I AM also the Bridegroom of your soul. I hear and answer every prayer even those that you pray wordlessly in your heart. I hear all, I see all, and I will always come to your aid and answer. All I have is yours My victory and triumph are yours, I save and uphold with My victorious right hand, My holy arm. Be not afraid ---- my own, I have heard and answered.

ISAIAH 41:9-10 (2024)

ISAIAH 41:9-10

You whom I took from the ends of the earth,
   and called from its farthest corners,
saying to you, ‘You are my servant,
   I have chosen you and not cast you off ’;
do not fear, for I am with you,
   do not be afraid, for I am your God;
I will strengthen you, I will help you,

Let nothing cause you to fear or to tremble in fear for I AM your God and you are My own little spouse. I AM the Bridegroom of Your soul and you belong to Me in time and eternity. Fear nothing little one it pleases My Father to give you the Kingdom.

PROVERBS 31:10, 25-26 (2024)

PROVERBS 31:10, 25-26

A capable wife who can find?
   She is far more precious than jewels.
Strength and dignity are her clothing,
   and she laughs at the time to come.
She opens her mouth with wisdom,
   and the teaching of kindness is on her tongue.

---- mine,

Model your life on My Mother, she is the Woman clothed with the sun with the moon at her feet and crowned with 12 stars. She is the Woman par excellence there is no creature created by God who can match her perfection. My Mother's greatest attributes are her humility, her docility to the will of God, and her submission to all He asked of her. She kept her gaze fixed on her Creator and not on her limitations, and her poverty. Her greatest strength came from recognizing that she was nothing before God and relied on Him to supply all her needs. This is why she was confident in a life of struggle. Her whole life was a hymn of praise, worship, adoration, and thanksgiving to God. She laughed in her difficulties for she kept her eye on the Lord and nestled in His bosom. She walked confidently knowing that she was the apple of God's eye and that God raised her from nothingness to be seated high above the rulers of the earth and above all the angels and saints beneath God alone. She loved God with her whole heart, mind, soul, and strength and her neighbor as herself. She kept the two great commandments to perfection. Learn from her. Pray to her. Stay close to her. Ask her to count you as one of her handmaids. Stay beside her always, ask her to cover you in her mantle and you will journey safely from this life to the next. 

EZEKIEL 39:25-29 (2024)

 EZEKIEL 39:25-29

Therefore, thus says the Lord God: Now I will restore the fortunes of Jacob, and have mercy on the whole house of Israel; and I will be jealous for my holy name. They shall forget their shame, and all the treachery they have practised against me, when they live securely in their land with no one to make them afraid, when I have brought them back from the peoples and gathered them from their enemies’ lands, and through them have displayed my holiness in the sight of many nations. Then they shall know that I am the Lord their God because I sent them into exile among the nations, and then gathered them into their own land. I will leave none of them behind; and I will never again hide my face from them, when I pour out my spirit upon the house of Israel, says the Lord God.

---- mine,

My promises are eternal and they are for all who belong to Me, all who have been grafted onto My Body. All who belong to Holy Mother Church are grafted to Me and are baptized in My Name, in the Name of My Father, and the Holy Spirit. These I will never abandon no matter how far they stray from the fold. I will pursue them relentlessly, and tirelessly, and I will ensure through the merits of My agony, passion, death, and resurrection into heaven, that they will return. No matter how stubborn they may be, no matter how they try to hide from Me and run away when they hear My footsteps. No matter how afraid or ashamed they may be, I will call them by name, woo them, and never tire of reminding them that My love for them is the same yesterday today, and forever. You on your part ---- my own, pray for them without ceasing, praise and glorify Me with thanksgiving in your heart with faith and hope but without fear or anxiety. They will return home, every person you love and pray for and fast for and shed tears over. By My Name which is above all other names, I assure You that I will bring them home. You be still and watch for this wonderful that I AM about to do and know that I AM God.

ISAIAH 60:10B, 19-20 (2024)

ISAIAH 60:10B, 19-20

.... for in my wrath I struck you down,
   but in my favour I have had mercy on you.

The sun shall no longer be
   your light by day,
nor for brightness shall the moon
   give light to you by night;
but the Lord will be your everlasting light,
   and your God will be your glory.
Your sun shall no more go down,
   or your moon withdraw itself;
for the Lord will be your everlasting light,
   and your days of mourning shall be ended.

---- mine,

Your days of mourning are ended - I, the Lord your God, the Bridegroom of your soul I AM with you. I, the Eternal Word of God, the Son of the Living God I, AM with you. The time for tears, sighs, moaning, groaning and mourning are at an end. Now is the time for rejoicing for the Lord your God takes delight in you, His poor little creature. I lift you up I bathe you and clothe you, I fill you with the Holy Spirit I will raise you up who have until now been laid low. Sing a new song and let the praise of God and thanksgiving be all that flows from your lips and your heart from this day forth. I have wiped away your tears and filled your heart with gladness. Be not afraid ---- my own, be not afraid. 

ISAIAH 65:24 (2024)

ISAIAH 65:24

Before they call I will answer,
   while they are yet speaking I will hear.

---- mine,

Why do you doubt, why do you allow yourself to grieve, to question and wonder whether or not I AM faithful, that I hear and I always answer? Why do you let your soul be sad, why do you forget that I AM always near you and that I will never abandon you? Why do you let yourself be miserable when I AM with you always. I keep My Word it is not yes today and no tomorrow I AM always yes and amen. It is you who are fickle, you who lack faith, you who do not trust Me and My Word. Ponder, think, meditate, and contemplate and you will know that I AM God and not man. Every one of My promises I will fulfill in My time, in My way according to My will. Be of good cheer, ---- my own, and watch and pray always so you will not fall into temptation. Trust in Me, trust in My Word, and remember that I AM the same yesterday, today, and forever. Be of good cheer I have won and you have won with Me.

JEREMIAH 33:3 (2024)

JEREMIAH 33:3

Call to me and I will answer you, and will tell you great and hidden things that you have not known. 

---- mine,

When you call I will answer you when you say My Name I will say to you, 'Here I AM'. I, the Living God, the Son of the Most High, the Savior and Redeemer of the world, I stoop low from heaven and My ear is pressed against your lips so not a prayer, nor a sigh will escape Me for I love you with an everlasting love. This is all you need to know in this life - that God loves you. I laid down His life for you, I save you and I abide with you, I give you My Flesh to eat and My blood to drink, I wash you and cleanse you and cause springs of living water to well up in you giving you life. I will never leave you never abandon you and I will come for you to take you when you breathe your last breath on earth and I will accompany you to the place created for you since the foundations of the world. Be not afraid ---- my own, you are Mine now and forever. Believe and believing rejoice.

ECCLESIASTES 12:1, 7, PSALM 39:4-5, PSALM 71:9

ECCLESIASTES 12:1, 7

Remember your creator in the days of your youth, before the days of trouble come, and the years draw near when you will say, ‘I have no pleasure in them’; and the dust returns to the earth as it was, and the breath returns to God who gave it.

PSALM 39:4-5

‘Lord, let me know my end,
   and what is the measure of my days;
   let me know how fleeting my life is.
You have made my days a few handbreadths,
   and my lifetime is as nothing in your sight.

PSALM 71:9

Do not cast me off in the time of old age;
   do not forsake me when my strength is spent.

---- mine,

Your days on earth are fleeting whether it is but a moment you live or a hundred years they are all gone like a puff of smoke and then comes judgment. Reflect on what your life has been thus far how have you lived it? Soon you will not wake up to another dawn, another sunrise, you will sleep and your body will be consigned to the earth and you will return to dust.  How will you live now, while it is still today? reflect on the eternal, on what brings life and not death. Now is the time, this is the moment, this is all you have the present. Live it wisely, live it well, live it in faith, hope, and love, and keep your gaze fixed on Me. Keep your hand in Mine, and I will direct your way and will in the way of life so where I AM you too may be. Do not be afraid but walk confidently knowing that I will not leave you nor will I forsake you for as long as you will it, for as long as you desire it, for as long as you say yes to My will, you can never be snatched from Me. Be still and know that I AM God and that you, ---- my own, are mine.

ESTHER 15:9, 11-12 (2024)

ESTHER 15:9, 11-12

‘What is it, Esther? I am your husband. Take courage;

Then he raised the golden sceptre and touched her neck with it; he embraced her, and said, ‘Speak to me.’ 

---- mine,

I am your Spouse, the Bridegroom of your Soul, I always hear you. Come to Me, speak to Me, let Me know all your thoughts. Confide in Me. Tell Me everything. What troubles you, what keeps you up at night, what are your anxieties, give them all to Me now and I assure you that I will take care of everything. Come to Me, rest in Me, be refreshed in Me. I AM God and I love you. Remain in me and I will remain in you and I will live in Me you will find perfect peace and rest for your soul. No harm will come to you, no evil will touch you nestle close to My Heart and I will keep you safe and not only you but all those you love. 

ZECHARIAH 2:9, 12, 14, 15 (2024)

ZECHARIAH 2:9, 12, 14, 15  

For this is the word of Yahweh: I, myself, will be around her like a wall of fire, and also within her, in glory.” 

For thus Yahweh Sabaoth says, after his glory sent me to condemn the nations that have plundered you, “Whoever touches you touches the apple of my eye. 

“Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion, for I am about to come, I shall dwell among you,” says Yahweh. “On that day, many nations will join Yahweh and be my people, but my dwelling is among you.”

---- mine,

Yes, you are a sinner, yes you fall many times a day, yes, you are unable to do any good without My grace and My help, and yes, without Me you will surely perish. I know you, I know all there is to know about you but I know this too, you are Mine. I purchased you. I paid the ransom and redeemed you. I gave My life for yours exchanging My life for your death and taking on Myself the price of each of your iniquities. Now, you are the apple of My eye and I will protect you. I will help you, I will guard you, and keep you safe. I will hear you and I will answer. No one can snatch you from Me for you are irrevocably mine in time and in eternity. Be of good cheer ---- my own, I have conquered sin, death, and the devil and I share My victory with you and with all who are Mine.

ESTHER 14:3, 19 (2024)

ESTHER 14:3, 19 

She prayed to the Lord God of Israel, and said: ‘O my Lord, you only are our king; help me, who am alone and have no helper but you. O God, whose might is over all, hear the voice of the despairing, and save us from the hands of evildoers. And save me from my fear!’

---- mine,

I AM your Helper, I AM your Deliverer, I AM your King and your Lord, I AM God and I AM near. Once again, ---- my own, I ask you to cast out all doubts, all anxieties, all fears, am I not the Son of the Living God? The Son is given all authority, and all power by My Father in heaven. I AM the King of Justice, I AM also the God of mercy, kindness, compassion, and love. Why are you downcast, why are you troubled? I AM the Eternal Word of God the same yesterday today, and forever, and I have overcome the world. Have confidence in Me and watch for the wonderful new things that I have begun. Rejoice! Rejoice for I will not disappoint. Weeping lasts through the night but joy comes in the morning. Rejoice and be glad for the morning is finally here.

MARK 4:24-25 (2024)

MARK 4:24-25

And he said to them, ‘Pay attention to what you hear; the measure you give will be the measure you get, and still more will be given you. For to those who have, more will be given; and from those who have nothing, even what they have will be taken away.’ 

---- mine,

Learn from My Father how to give, I only do what the Father does and just as the Father pours Himself out so too do I and the Holy Spirit. We hold nothing back. The more you pour yourself out the more you make room to receive God's abundance. It is an ever-flowing stream. The more you pour yourself out as the Holy Spirit prompts you to, the more God's fullness will be poured into you so you will never run out of God's goodness, mercy, and love. Give as you have been given. Give without counting the cost. Look at Me and learn from Me. As the Father has given Me so do I give you in full measure, shaken together and running over. Remember that it is in the measure that you give that you are given so be generous and give without counting the cost always. It is in giving that you receive and in dying that you are born to eternal life. Give until it hurts and your jar of flour will never run out and your bottle of oil will not dry up. 

MATTHEW 18:12-14 (2024)

MATTHEW 18:12-14

What do you think? If a shepherd has a hundred sheep, and one of them has gone astray, does he not leave the ninety-nine on the mountains and go in search of the one that went astray? And if he finds it, truly I tell you, he rejoices over it more than over the ninety-nine that never went astray. So it is not the will of your Father in heaven that one of these little ones should be lost. 

---- mine,

What do you think of this? What do you make of the Father's love for you? How do you understand it? This is what it means - the Father's love for you will pursue you relentlessly no matter how far away from His heart you wander because He loves you. He created you for Himself, for Me, for the Holy Spirit. He desires that you, ---- my own, be My bride. I AM wed to you to Me, we are one in the Father and the Holy Spirit and not just you, but everyone who is grafted into My Body. So do not fear, little one, do not fear for those you love for it is My Father's will that not one of those sealed in My Blood and in My Spirit should be lost. Believe and rejoice for it pleases God to give you and those you love a share in His Kingdom. Be of good cheer I have overcome the world, the flesh, and the devil and in Me, with Me, and through Me you have won the victory.

JUDITH 16:5 (2024)

JUDITH 16:5

But the Lord Almighty has foiled them
   by the hand of a woman.

---- mine,

It is the Woman clothed with the Sun whom it pleases Me to use as a conduit to pour out immense graces on all who love her tenderly, praise her, and imitate her. Anyone who desires prompt access to Me can do so through the Mother of God. She is the Theotokos, the God-bearer, and she carries all her children within her heart. This is why anyone who calls on her will find themselves in My Presence. She is the fullness of all motherhood, and the love of all the mothers that ever were from the first to the last is but a drop in comparison to the torrents of love that flow from My Mother's heart over all her children. She is the mediatrix of all graces and loves all her children but she has a special, most tender love for the weakest, the most sinful, the most frail of her children. Recognizing that they lack the will to live a life of grace they throw themselves on her maternal love trustfully knowing that she can refill their lives with new wine. At her request, as at the Wedding in Cana, I will always do all she asks of Me. 

Remember also that a woman, although often in the background, has the power to move the heart of God to work mightily in the lives of her children, her spouse, and everyone she prays for. God will not refuse to answer the prayers nor fail to hear the cries of a mother. Do not be afraid ---- my own, do not be afraid! All is well.

SONG OF SONGS 2:10-13 (2024)

SONG OF SONGS 2:10-13

My beloved speaks and says to me:
‘Arise, my love, my fair one,
   and come away;
for now the winter is past,
   the rain is over and gone.
The flowers appear on the earth;
   the time of singing has come,
and the voice of the turtle-dove
   is heard in our land.
The fig tree puts forth its figs,
   and the vines are in blossom;
   they give forth fragrance.
Arise, my love, my fair one,
   and come away.

---- mine,

Come to Me, live in Me, remain in Me every moment of every day. Lie against My breast. Be Mine. I will keep you safe from the hunter's snare. I will fill you with My Life and My Spirit. The time for grieving and mourning is now past. Your winter of sorrow is ended, it is time for joy and for the bounteous goodness of God to reign in your heart, your spirit, and your life. It is time to rejoice in the goodness of God. It is time to let the joy of the Lord overflow and the praise of God to burst forth from your overflowing heart and spirit. Come, ---- my own, and let the fragrance of God's love emanate from you, and by its pleasing aroma, all will know that God is faithful and that I keep My Word. Come, rise up and come away with Me into the inner sanctuary of your soul where we will be alone, and we will be one and you will be Mine. Here, I the Lord God of the heavens and the earth will repose and for you, this will be a time of healing, of refreshment, of renewal, and being strengthened in faith, hope, and love in heart, mind, soul, body, and spirit. Come away with Me, you are Mine forever.

PSALM 138:6-8 (2024)

 PSALM 138:6-8

For though the Lord is high, he regards the lowly;
   but the haughty he perceives from far away.

Though I walk in the midst of trouble,
   you preserve me against the wrath of my enemies;
you stretch out your hand,
   and your right hand delivers me.
The Lord will fulfil his purpose for me;
   your steadfast love, O Lord, endures for ever.
   Do not forsake the work of your hands.

---- mine,

To belong to Me wholly and without any reservations takes humility. The more you understand who you are and who I AM the more you will know how unworthy you are to come into My Presence. The more you understand the treasure of the virtue of humility and embrace it, the closer will I draw near to you. It is the humble, the lowly, the little ones, those with a childlike heart and simplicity of spirit that move Me to accomplish My will in their lives more perfectly. They are like clay in the potter's hands and I can make something beautiful of those who with faith and confidence in Me submit wholly to Me, yielding to Me humbly and with a quiet heart and serenity of spirit, trusting Me no matter how hard or how difficult it may be. Remember that I AM always with you and have been with you from the moment you were conceived. It was I who knit you in your mother's womb. It is I who protect you and keep you safe from the Enemy. It is My Hand that surrounds you on every side and sets you free from every snare that the devil sets to trap you. Lean on Me, trust Me, allow Me to do with You as I will and all My purposes for your life will be fulfilled. I love you with a love that you will never understand nor fully grasp the immensity of that love. I AM the Covenant that God makes with you and neither the Father nor the Holy Spirit nor I will forsake you. Be of good cheer ---- my own, for I AM God and I have taken you to be my very own in time and in eternity.

PSALM 72:12-14 (2024)

PSALM 72:12-14 

For he delivers the needy when they call,
   the poor and those who have no helper.
He has pity on the weak and the needy,
   and saves the lives of the needy.
From oppression and violence he redeems their life;
   and precious is their blood in his sight.

---- mine,

My heart is always moved to pity, tenderness, compassion, and love when My little ones acknowledge that they are nothing, have nothing, can do nothing, and throw themselves on Me recognizing that with Me all things are possible. They rely on Me, My strength, My power, My ability and willingness to be their help, their strength, their comfort, and their all-in-all. The little ones of the world, the anawim of God are the ones who will inherit all for to them belongs everything that the Father has to give through Me His Son and heir. Only when you truly understand ---- my own, that without Me you can do nothing and apart from Me you are nothing, you will truly walk in the Way that leads to Truth and be filled with abundance of life in the Holy Spirit. Recognize your nothingness before the God who created you, the God who redeemed you, and the God who sanctifies you, live in His shadow and all will be well with you and all manner of things will be well with you for you will possess all that God has to give you in this life and in the next eternal bliss in His Presence.

PSALM 109:1, 21-22 (2024)

PSALM 109:1, 21-22

Do not be silent, O God of my praise.
But you, O Lord my Lord,
   act on my behalf for your name’s sake;
   because your steadfast love is good, deliver me.
For I am poor and needy,
   and my heart is pierced within me.

---- mine,

You know I am never silent when you cry out to Me or call My Name. I Am nearer to you than your breath, nearer to you than you are to yourself. I hear you, I hear your breathing, I hear your sighs, I see your tears even those that your heart cries and I collect them all. They are all with Me. Neither a tear nor a sigh has gone unnoticed, for I heard and collected all in My Heart. I love you with everlasting love, you are Mine. I have called you by name and I have carved your name on the palm of my hand. Remain in My love and because I know that you rely on Me, that you run to Me when you are sorrowful, worried, and troubled for you are aware that without Me you are nothing and can do nothing, I assure you this day and every day that I AM your God and you, ---- my own, are Mine. Be not afraid! Be not afraid for I AM with you and all is well. Even when you do not understand what I AM doing in your life and the lives of those you love remember that I AM God and that all is well.

ISAIAH 66:12-13 (2024)

ISAIAH 66:12-13

For thus says the Lord:
I will extend prosperity to her like a river,
   and the wealth of the nations like an overflowing stream;
and you shall nurse and be carried on her arm,
   and dandled on her knees.
As a mother comforts her child,
   so I will comfort you;
   you shall be comforted in Jerusalem.

---- mine,

All the treasures of God, the rich inheritance of His immeasurable graces and mercies are yours because you are Mine. Be still and know that I AM God. Trust Me, ---- my own, trust Me, all that I have promised you, all that I have assured you, all that you have pleaded with Me to grant you night and day I will grant you. I will answer you and you will know that I AM WHO AM and that you who are called by My Name share with Me all that the Father has given Me. Be of good cheer, my own little one, for I have conquered the world and I share My victory with all who are Mine.

PROVERBS 30:4-5 (2024)

PROVERBS 30:4-5

Who has ascended the heavens and descended?
Who has gathered the wind in his hands? 

Who has encircled the waters with his cloak? 

Who has established the limits of the earth? 

What is his name or the name of his son? 

Do you know? 

Every word of God is true, 

he is a shield in whom man can find refuge.

 

---- mine,

Do you know the One in whom you have placed all your hope and trust? Have you truly placed all your faith in Me? How well do you know Me? I AM WHO AM. I AM the God of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Moses. I AM your God. I AM the Son of God. I AM the Savior of the world. I AM the Messiah and I AM the Beloved of your soul. I AM your Spouse. I AM the firstborn Son of the Creator and Maker of the world and My Father and I are One.  I AM God and the Son of God and you belong to Me. You have taken refuge in Me and I have given you total and unimpeded access to My Heart and My life which I pour into your soul always and everywhere. Be still, ---- my own, and know that I AM God. I will never leave you, I will never forsake you. All that My Father has given Me I share with you for nothing delights Me more than to give you all that I have. I AM the Living God. I AM the Son of the Living God and you have nothing to fear not for yourself or those you love. I have spoken and all that I have said I will accomplish. Be still, be content, be at peace.

1 MACCABEES 3:60 (2024)

1 MACCABEES 3:60

‘But as his will in heaven may be, so shall he do.’ 

---- mine,

Recall My prayer to My Father in heaven during My Agony in the Garden, “Father, if it is possible, take this cup away from me. Yet, not what I will, but what you will.” And recall My Virgin Mother's response when the Angel Gabriel revealed God's plan of salvation to her, “I am the handmaid of the Lord, let it be done to me as you have said.” Every good and perfect prayer to God is some version of this prayer of surrender to the will of God. Only the Father who created you in love knows what is best for you. Only He is aware of what you need to live a good, holy life that enables you to be the person that He created you to be. This is why in all things every day, seek to discern the will of the Father, He will reveal His plans to you, then look at Me and find in Me the strength you need to embrace all that He gives you and to do all that He desires you to do. Remember, you can do nothing on your own, this is why I have sent the Holy Spirit. You have received Him in Baptism. He is the Helper, the Advocate, the Paraclete. He will help you. Ask and you will receive seek and you will find knock and the door will be opened to you for, “If you sinful people know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him.”
