REST IN ME, MY CHILD. This time devoted to Me is meant to be peaceful, not stressful. You don’t have to perform in order to receive My Love. I have boundless, unconditional love for you. How it grieves Me to see My children working for Love: trying harder and harder, yet never feeling good enough to be loved.
Be careful that your devotion to Me does not become another form of works. I want you to come into My Presence joyfully and confidently. You have nothing to fear, for you wear My own righteousness. Gaze into My eyes, and you will see no condemnation, only Love and delight in the one I see. Be blessed as My Face shines radiantly upon you, giving you peace.
John 15:13 Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.
Zephaniah 3:17 The Lord your God is with you, he is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, he will quiet you with his love, he will rejoice over you with singing.
Numbers 6:25-26 The Lord make his face to shine upon you and be gracious to you; the Lord turn his face toward you and give you peace.

I will sing to my Lord as long as I live, I will sing
praise to my God while I have my being.
We are blessed beyond all measure as children of God. However, being blessed does not necessarily mean we feel” the joy and peace of blessedness. To actually experience this blessed state in our reality, we must devote peaceful time to being with God, thinking about God, meditating on God’s love and promise with confidence.
This confidence does not arise from our goodness nor our behavior (except time spent with God). It arises from our trust in God;’s words of love and assurance. In fact, this confidence does not arise form any circumstance other than our faith and trust in God. All we have to do is accept God’s radiant love of us and return that love in trust and joy.
Accepting God’s peace,
