Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him; do not fret when people succeed in their ways, when they carry out their wicked schemes. Refrain from anger and turn from wrath; do not fret—it leads only to evil. For those who are evil will be destroyed, but those who hope in the Lord will inherit the land. ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭37‬:‭7‬-‭9‬ ‭NIV‬‬ Be surrounded with me and the safety I bring for you. Allow it to grow you. Be filled yet be hungry for more. Follow me. Become a reflection of my love. As you learn to listen, I can whisper my way for you to move. Trust in me. I am there even now.

So it is with you. Since you are eager for gifts of the Spirit, try to excel in those that build up the church. For this reason the one who speaks in a tongue should pray that they may interpret what they say. For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays, but my mind is unfruitful. So what shall I do? I will pray with my spirit, but I will also pray with my understanding; I will sing with my spirit, but I will also sing with my understanding. Otherwise when you are praising God in the Spirit, how can someone else, who is now put in the position of an inquirer, say “Amen” to your thanksgiving, since they do not know what you are saying? You are giving thanks well enough, but no one else is edified.” ‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭14‬:‭12‬-‭17‬ ‭NIV Allow me to show you my love this day. Put aside anxiety and search for my ways. They will surprise and encourage you. Look for me, expecting you should find my way for you. I have not left you to the way of the enemy. I have shown you what is important. No...

Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade. This inheritance is kept in heaven for you, who through faith are shielded by God’s power until the coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time. ‭‭1 Peter‬ ‭1‬:‭3‬-‭5‬ ‭NIV Sit quiet. Look through the mess all about you. If you listen, you will hear my guiding direction. Follow it. Trust my word. I am the only way for true peace. I am the only way to life. I will reveal my way to those who have learned to listen.

There are different kinds of working, but in all of them and in everyone it is the same God at work. Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good. To one there is given through the Spirit a message of wisdom, to another a message of knowledge by means of the same Spirit, to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by that one Spirit, to another miraculous powers, to another prophecy, to another distinguishing between spirits, to another speaking in different kinds of tongues, and to still another the interpretation of tongues. All these are the work of one and the same Spirit, and he distributes them to each one, just as he determines. ‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭12‬:‭6‬-‭11‬ ‭NIV‬‬ Draw closer. Become who you are in me. You are one piece of many. All are loved. All are important. You too can share my wisdom. Come near. Watch what I will do.

After Jesus said this, he looked toward heaven and prayed: “Father, the hour has come. Glorify your Son, that your Son may glorify you. For you granted him authority over all people that he might give eternal life to all those you have given him. Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent. I have brought you glory on earth by finishing the work you gave me to do. And now, Father, glorify me in your presence with the glory I had with you before the world began.” ‭‭John‬ ‭17‬:‭1‬-‭5‬ ‭NIV‬‬ Are you ready to stretch forth your hand and receive healing. You are whole. Now reach out to others. Guide them in my pathway. Show them my love and direction. I have shown you the way. Now be my example to those I send to you. Allow my love to guide you.

Another time Jesus went into the synagogue, and a man with a shriveled hand was there. Some of them were looking for a reason to accuse Jesus, so they watched him closely to see if he would heal him on the Sabbath. Jesus said to the man with the shriveled hand, “Stand up in front of everyone.” Then Jesus asked them, “Which is lawful on the Sabbath: to do good or to do evil, to save life or to kill?” But they remained silent. He looked around at them in anger and, deeply distressed at their stubborn hearts, said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” He stretched it out, and his hand was completely restored. ‭‭Mark‬ ‭3‬:‭1‬-‭5‬ ‭NIV‬‬ Stretch forth your hand and receive healing. You are whole. Now reach out to others. Guide them into my pathway. Show them my love. Stretch yourself for my ways and directions.  

Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.” Surely he will save you from the fowler’s snare and from the deadly pestilence. He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart. You will not fear the terror of night, nor the arrow that flies by day, nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness, nor the plague that destroys at midday. A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you. You will only observe with your eyes and see the punishment of the wicked. If you say, “The Lord is my refuge,” and you make the Most High your dwelling, no harm will overtake you, no disaster will come near your tent. For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways; they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike...
