NEHEMIAH 9:11-12, 15 (2025)

NEHEMIAH 9:11-12, 15

You divided the sea before our ancestors 

who passed through the midst of the sea 

without their feet getting wet. 

You cast their pursuers into the depths of the sea, 

as stones fall into the deep waters. 

You guided them by day with a pillar of cloud, 

and by night with a pillar of fire, 

to light for them the way they should follow. 

You gave them bread from heaven 

and told them to satisfy their hunger. 

You made water gush forth from the rock 

to quench their thirst; 

and commanded them to go and take possession 

of the land which you had sworn to give them.

---- mine,

You want to know all about God's faithfulness, ponder these words and all the Sacred Texts all throughout salvation history, and you will see for yourself how the mighty hand of God is always with His people. You are the new people of God. Your house is the House of God that stands invincible and glorious on Mount Zion; it is the New Jerusalem that comes down from God. It is the City of God where your God dwells in fullness, in beauty, in truth. You have no cause for worry, anxiety, or fear. The God of the Old Testament, who worked mighty signs and wonders for the Israelites and walked with them in the wilderness for 40 years, is the same God who abides in you, lives and breathes in you through Me and through My Holy Spirit. How can you live as if you are powerless, friendless, an orphan, and a widow when God Himself has declared that you are His in time and in eternity? I AM with you always. I feed you with My own flesh and blood. I quench your thirst with Living Water that flows from My open side. ----, my own, you belong to Me, we are bound as one. I have made a Covenant with you in My Blood. You have a home in My Sacred Heart. Why are you tormented, why are you cast down, don't you know by now that the Triune God is on your side and is fighting for you just as I did in the past for the Israelites? I AM the pillar of fire of God's love that goes before you, and I AM the Cloud of God's Presence that covers you. Day or night, it matters not, I AM always with you. Be still and be aware always that I AM God and I AM with you always, and the inheritance I have sworn to give you is the Kingdom of Heaven.

ISAIAH 41:10,13, 14B (2025)

ISAIAH 41:10,13, 14A, B

Fear not, for I am with you; 

be not dismayed, for I am your God. 

I will give you strength, I will bring you help, 

I will uphold you with the right hand of my justice. 

For I, the Lord, your God, 

take hold of your right hand and say to you: 

“Fear not, I am your assistance.” 

Fear not, I am your redeemer, 

says the Lord, the Holy One of Israel, your helper.

---- mine,

Be not afraid. Fear nothing but sin, which will separate you from Me eternally. Fear nothing, for the evil one uses fear to fill your mind with doubt and anxiety. Fear makes you weak and disturbs the peace that I give you. I have assured you time and time again that all your prayers have been heard and answered. Nothing delights Me more than to fill your mouth with the finest wheat and the sweetest honey. It is I who strengthens you. My Word will fill you with courage, and all that I have done for you in the past assures you that I AM the Lord, your God, and nothing is too difficult for Me. Do not allow the world to distract you. Do not permit the circumstances of your life to cause you to falter and stumble. Remember that I have taken hold of your right hand, I hold you fast. You are safe, and your loved ones are safe. Be still and know that I AM God and that by the power of My Name I save. You call Me your Spouse, and the Beloved of your soul, and so I AM. I love you. I have declared you to be Mine, and no one and nothing can or will snatch what belongs to Me, what is Mine, from Me.

MARK 8:1-3 (2025)

MARK 8:1-3

Soon afterward, Jesus was in the midst of another large crowd, 

that obviously had nothing to eat. 

So he called his disciples and said to them, 

“I feel sorry for these people, 

because they have been with me for three days 

and now have nothing to eat. 

If I send them to their homes hungry, 

they will faint on the way; 

some of them have come a long way.”

---- mine,

Yes, you are right, I see all things, I know all things. I was aware of every man, woman, and child in the large crowd that had followed Me. I understood their hunger, the yearning in their hearts for more than the world could ever give them. All the world's promises fall far short of what I, the Lord, Your Savior and Redeemer, can give you. I see your wounds and long to touch and heal you. I see your hunger, and  I know that you thirst, so I invite you to come to Me and be filled with the abundance of all that I eagerly desire to give you. Bring all your troubles to Me, tell Me everything. I AM here, I will listen and I will comfort you, I will wipe away your tears. I AM the Lord your God, nothing is too difficult for Me. Nothing is impossible for Me. Come, ---- my own, do not be discouraged, it reveals a lack of faith not only in My power but My love for you. You know how greatly I love you. I died for you. Come, do not let anything worry you or dismay you. I AM God, and I AM here, and I assure you, as I have done over and over again in the past, to have faith. Trust Me. Keep your gaze fixed on Me and be filled with the joy of My Spirit. And know this, all is well because I AM God and I love you.

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.
