Today's journal notes...

(forming this letter from varied devotionals)

Seek my face, and you will find all that you have longed for.

The deepest yearnings of your heart are for intimacy

with Me.

Take time to be still in My Presence.

Do not be afraid to be different from other people.

The path I have called you to travel, is exquisitely

right for you.

The more closely you follow My leading,

the more I can develop your gifts.

Follow Me wholeheartedly.

Relinquish your desire to please other people.

The adversary of your life has no power to trap you,

as long as you remain close to Me.

I will protect you from emotional destruction &

emotional ruin.

Focusing on Me is not an easy assignment.

The world, flesh, and darkness all conspire to distract you.

Refuse to be discouraged by distractions and

the fickleness of your mind.

Do not be in such a hurry to move on.

Relax. Breathe deeply. Be.

Be in harmony today.

Be open. There is beauty.

There is purpose & meaning.

There is importance.

It is not so much what happens to you,

but how you respond.

Accept the feelings, and then let them go.

Breathe in peace & healing.

Every thing you need today will be given you.

Absorb the lessons, the healing, the beauty, and the love.

Face today to the best of your ability;

You will acquire the skill to face tomorrow.

The only meaning of anything in your past, 

is that it got you here, and should be honored as such.

Give your past to Me. I can change your mind about it

for you.

I provide you with a clean slate every moment.

Forgive yourself, for all you think you did &

did not do. Give yourself permission to begin again.

There is no way for you to know what's going to happen tomorrow,

or the next day, or 5 years from now.

Place it in My hands.

Be assured I hear you & will answer.

Be quiet before Me.

Meditate on Me. Listen.

I will give you direction, intervene, and

work in your favor.

My timing & plans are always perfect.

Commit to following My lead. 

I will not disappoint you.

~God~

be well...

xoxo

"The Spirit of our journey is as important,

perhaps more important,

than the arrival at our destination.

In order to realize genuine happiness,

we must be willing to court contentment every

step of the way.

For after all, the journey is all that most of us will ever know.

Day in, day out.

The journey is real life."

'Caring for our authentic selves-

rarely comes naturally or easily.

But with practice, with patience,

with perseverance, it does come.'
