- This entry was written in March....just when Spring was about to pop. Now.....everything at last is in bloom. I love to remember the waiting and how early spring has a sacredness all its own. Oh Lord.....my heart bows before You....the only One Whom all of nature obeys. 




+ I am yours. I hold the universe in My Hand. Spring holds its breath and waits for Me to say, "Now." and the sap flows and the green emerges. I am the ONE Who made you. I want you to think of the sense of connectedness you have with your children. You have known them since they were forming in your womb and you love them with a love that only grows. With each year, you marvel more and more at who they are ...these incarnations of Love.... you and Gary made one. Such love! Such a miracle times three! Your heart sings when you think of these three sons. Your love is boundless. Now, step back,My beloved, and see how great is My Love for you! I am the One Who formed you in silence in your mother's womb! I know you vastly more intimately than you know yourself (or your children - who now are men, fully grown and separate and independent...basically on their own.) But you...My Love...will never be on your own without Me and... rather than impede your development like an over-involved mother that clings and doesn't give her children freedom to fly...I help you grow into the fullness I envisioned when your were born. I am the Perfect Father. I sustain you...protect you...inspire you...free you. I gave the Highest and the most for the very purpose of fullness. Spring is on the rise in all her beauty. She is a small clarion announcing My Love to a pale, cold world. All the seeds that are buried in the frozen ground are ready to come out. Spring is My servant...shouting out My Name throughout the land. I fill. I bring to fruition. I water. I feed. The Kingdom of Heaven was purchased as a gift for you. What joy it gives me to see you delight and cherish this gift....to receive the abundance of the Spirit helping you blossom into the very one...the only one...I designed you to be. Excitement and hope are in the air. There is a substance of things not seen that is about to emerge. This is a picture of how My Hand of Love transforms the landscape of your spirit. I am your Faithful Father and I delight in you. Enjoy this favor and be filled with the Joy that is your inheritance. Rejoice and Bloom!

- Lord, Most High God - I bow before You and ask You to lead me and let me use each minute of this day according to Your purpose. Thank You for Your faithfulness...Your goodness and Your Love. I love You.


+ My little one, do as you are doing...whispering words of love as you go through your day...tilting your head to hear My still small voice. Know this: My Love for you never dims. It shines brightly all around you, whether you feel it or not. What matters is that you give Me the minutes of your day as your song of praise. This is the greatest gift you can give back to your Father, Who loves to shower you with gifts of love. Be encouraged now...as an act of faith...because you know the power of the goodness of your Father...Who sustains your every minute. As you bow before Him...accepting with open hands His perfect will...that promised peace becomes more and more palpable. It shimmers from within your spirit as you move from task to task... transforming the most menial things you do into an act of worship...much like the way the sunlight just broke through the deep gray clouds...shining on...transforming the words of your journal. Know this: I love you. Let My love saturate this day. Let all  sadness...disappointment...fears and imaginations go. See them drift away like these dark, just-parted clouds. Watch them as they fade away in the Light of the sure promises of your Papa. Rejoice! Take Joy. It your promised, inherited blessing. Spread it everywhere, as you do your tasks. This is your secret strength....My heart IN your heart....I in the Father ...you in Me. Remember: nothing....NOTHING in your world can hold back this Light! All darkness must flee! Only Light...the Light of Lights remains. Selah! Do not let your heart be troubled. All is well. Believe it.
