GOD'S WORD TODAY

---- My Own, 
Do not be afraid of the storms that enter your life. 
They are necessary. They clear the deadwood. 
All that is weak, decayed, and useless is stripped away 
leaving only that which is clean and strong. 
You are ready to start anew. 
Look at the trees, grass, and sky after a storm. 
Everything glints as it reflects the pure light of the sun. 
The song of the bird is sweeter, the air more fragrant,
 and the world is bright again. 
Drink deep of my peace. My peace I give you. 
Be not afraid. You are Mine.

GOD'S WORD TODAY

---- My Own, 
The very breath you breathe is the breath of life – My life. 
Stop struggling, every cross in your life has a purpose;
 it is meant to purify you, strengthen you,
 and enable you to get to the Kingdom.
 There is no salvation apart from the Cross. 
Unite all your suffering with Mine and you will receive my merit  
and My grace to overcome all temptations.  
Yoke yourself to Me
you will find My yoke is easy and My burden light 
for it is the yoke of humility, obedience, and love.
