Take My Hand

My Beloved Daughter, I want to birth a new thing in your heart and bring forth the perfect peace and plan I have for you. I am asking you as your heavenly Father to look to the future and not to the past to find the path I have prepared for you. I know it won't be easy, but it will be worth letting go of what once was to receive all I have for you. Your past has prepared you for your purpose, and nothing and no one can stop My plans for your life. Don't allow disappointment to direct your path. Now is the time to take My hand and walk out the rest of your days on earth with Me . . . your heavenly Daddy. Love, Your Creator of new life!  ~ "For I am about to do something new. See, I have already begun! Do you not see it? I will make a pathway through the wilderness. I will create rivers in the dry wasteland." ~Isaiah 43:19~

I Think You're Beautiful

I Think You're Beautiful  

My Princess Bride,

You are so beautiful to Me. I wish for one moment that you could see what I see when I look at you. When I gaze at you I see a treasure ready to be discovered, a princess ready to shine, and a bride ready to be loved. When I look at you... I love what I see!

If you could grasp how beautiful you are in My eyes, then you would never feel insecure again. The beauty I created you to be is a reflection of Me, My love. I created you in My image, so never doubt again that your eternal beauty is a breath of heaven!

Love,
Your adoring Prince

~

"For your Royal husband delights in your beauty, Honor him, for he is your Lord."

Get Ready, My Bride

Get Ready, My Bride  

My Princess Bride,

The time is now, My beloved Bride, to get ready for My return.  I will come quickly for you, and in  that moment you will be changed. I want you to live as if there were no tomorrow. Fix your heart and mind on eternity with Me. If you will do as I request, you will be ready for Me when I come.

Please put on My robe of humility and crown of everlasting love! Yield your soul to Mine that we may be knit together until we stand face to face at the altar. Take my hand and allow Me, your prince, to walk by you the rest of your days here in this earth until I walk you down the isle of eternity.

Love,
Your eternal Husband

"Let us rejoice and be glad and give him glory! For the wedding of the Lamb has come, and his bride has made herself ready."

My Father's Eyes

My Father's Eyes  

Dearest Daughter,

I know how hard it is for you to keep a good attitude and a tender heart in a harsh world. But I need you to be the light in the darkness-the one who will not give in to negativity. As your loving Father, I ask you to keep your eyes on Me so I can give you My view of the world around you.

When you feel angry or hurt or disappointed, come to Me. Don't allow yourself to let your emotions prevent you from seeing the blessings all around you. Ask Me to give you new sight to see the world through My eyes...and you will be a blessing to your friends and family.

Love, Your Daddy in heaven

High Time

High Time TODAY’S SCRIPTURE “...It is high time to awake out of sleep; for now our salvation is nearer than when we first believed.” (Romans 13:11, NKJV) TODAY’S WORD  So many people today are living overwhelmed, exhausted and overburdened by the pressures of life. They’ve allowed themselves to live on autopilot, day in and day out, passive toward the things God has place in their hearts. If that’s you, now is the time to get your fire back! Let me encourage you to press past the things that would try to hold you back. God is saying, “It’s high time to wake up.” Notice that phrasing. Not just time but high time. That means it’s incredibly important because you are coming into a destiny moment! You are sitting on the launching pad. God is about to thrust you to a new level! Now is not the time to be passive, sloppy or undisciplined. Now more than ever, it’s time to get focused and start moving forward! Why is this so important? Just like the verse says, your salvation is nearer than it’s ever been. That means you are closer to seeing that dream come to pass than you’ve ever been. You are closer to meeting the right person, closer to that healing, closer to that breakthrough, promotion and provision. You may not be able to see it, but it can see you! Your victory is right around the corner. It’s high time to do what God is asking you to do so you can embrace the blessing He has for you! A PRAYER FOR TODAY Father God, thank You for Your hand of blessing and mercy upon my life. Today I choose to rise up. I choose to shake off mediocrity so I can move forward into the blessing You have in store for me in Jesus’ name. Amen.

I Will Leave the Light On

I Will Leave the Light On  

My Bride,

I am the light: The light of the world. I am your light and the love of your life. When your world feels cold and dark, you can count on Me to warm you from the inside out and lead you on a great journey. You will never stumble and fall if you will allow your Prince to light your way.

Trust in Me. I see perfectly in the dark, so never fear-I am here to move the obstacles out of your way or lead you safely around them. And if ever you do stumble in the dark, I will always pick you up with My loving arms. Rest assured, My beauty, there will always be a light on for you to be able to find your way back to Me.

Love,
Your Prince and Illumination

"You light a lamp for me.The LORD, my God, lights up my darkness."

One More Night with the Frogs

One More Night with the Frogs

TODAY’S SCRIPTURE

“Moses said to Pharaoh, ‘I leave to you the honor of setting the time for me to pray for you and your officials and your people that you and your houses may be rid of the frogs, except for those that remain in the Nile.’ ‘Tomorrow,’ Pharaoh said.”

(Exodus 8:9–10, NIV)

TODAY’S WORD

When the people of Israel were in slavery to Pharaoh, God sent different plagues to try to convince him to let them go. One of the plagues was a plague of frogs! The people were so miserable that Pharaoh finally said, “Moses, we’ve learned our lesson. The Israelites may go. Please ask your God to take away these frogs.” Moses said, “I’ll do it, Pharaoh. When do you want it to happen?” You would think Pharaoh would say, “Right now!” But no, Pharaoh said, “Take them away tomorrow.” He was saying, “We can put up with these frogs just one more night.” How many times do we do the same thing? “Dana Marie, I’m going to forgive, but I’m going to do it tomorrow. I’m going to have a better attitude. I’m going to quit worrying...tomorrow.” We’re saying like Pharaoh, “I can put up with this addiction, this mediocrity one more day.” No, our attitude should be, “I’m not going to spend one more night with the frogs, putting up with things that are not God’s best.” Why don’t you start today? Today, make the change. Today, choose to forgive. Today, stop worrying. Today, get in shape. Today, take a step of faith. Shake off passivity and procrastination and get rid of anything that would hold you back!

A PRAYER FOR TODAY

Father in heaven, today I choose to release everything that has tried to hold me back. I release the past; I release bitterness; I release failures and missed opportunities. Instead, I embrace Your grace and power to boldly move forward into the blessing You have for me in Jesus’ name! Amen.

You Will Be Greatly Rewarded

My Princess,

I see you when no one else does. I watch you meet others needs when no one is looking. I know when you give generously when there is no spotlight or applause. Your name may never be on a plaque for the world to notice, but I see you, My faithful one.

I am also aware you need to be appreciated for who you are and all you do. But don't give up. I will bring you a reward that can't be bought in a store or found in the praises of people. I can't wait to celebrate in heaven all you have done to further My kingdom. I'm so pleased with your dedication and good works. Until that great day-when I exalt you and your good works for the whole world to see-let Me give you a taste of those blessings here on earth. Thank you for your faithfulness, My princess.

The best is yet to come.

Love,
Your King and your Rewarder

"See I am coming soon and My reward is with Me to repay all according to their deeds."

I Will Fight for You

My Courageous Princess,

Allow Me, your Strong Prince to fight any and all battles this life brings you. I don't want My Bride to exhaust herself fighting in her own strength. The battle you face My love, is already won! Now step behind Me and let your powerful Prince shield you from the attacks of the enemy of your soul. Yes, I am your warrior and your protector. As long as you stand behind me and let me fight for you, there is nothing that can or will overtake you. It is my pleasure to go to war for my beloved bride.

Press Past the Small Things

www.blogtalkradio.com/savedinthecity

Press Past the Small Things TODAY’S SCRIPTURE “...One thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead.” (Philippians 3:13, NIV) TODAY’S WORD  Are you allowing the small things in life to keep you from God’s best? Today is the day to press past the small things and run toward your destiny! Unforgiveness is a small thing. Forgive and move on to the greater thing. Fear is small. It’s not from God. Don’t let it hold you back. An addiction is small. You have the power to overcome anything through Christ Jesus. Being undisciplined is small. If you are a believer today, you have the seed of Almighty God inside of you. There is no challenge that’s too difficult for you! I think about Joshua and Caleb. When they came back from spying out the Promised Land they said, “Moses, we are well able to take the land. Let us go in at once.” Not next week. Not next year. They were “now” people. But if you over-analyze your situation and think about all the “what if’s” and try to get approval from all your family and friends, you’ll never move off of dead center. You’ll be stuck in the small things. Today, make the decision to press forward. Be like Joshua and Caleb. Don’t look at your circumstances; look at your God because He is the one who is empowering you to take hold of the good things He has for your future! A PRAYER FOR TODAY Father, today I make the decision to press past small things. I let go of small thinking and small doing and choose to open my heart and mind to You. Lead me in the way I should go. Thank You for Your everlasting love in Jesus’ name. Amen!

It's All for You  

My Beautiful Bride,

I created the heavens and the earth for your pleasure My Bride. Yes, the world is yours to enjoy. Just open your eyes and take a look around you, My beloved.

See what I created for you-the rain to water your soul, the flowers for you to breathe in and smell their sweet aroma, the sunsets to kiss you good night. I gave you mountains for you to climb; I placed the stars to light your nights. Yes, My Bride, this is for you, Take this moment and breathe in the blessed beauty I created for your pleasure.

Love, your Prince

Let Me hold on to your heart and fill you up with eternal love. Then you will feel My Holy presence and fall in love with Me.
