- Father, thank You for the blessing of Your deep presence and healing. Thank You that Your Goodness surrounds me and I see Your Love running to meet me at every turn. Yesterday, I saw seven or eight empty birds' nests high in the bare trees. Is there any significance to them... something You want to show me regarding them? 

+Twig by twig, I guided those little birds to build their nests high in the trees. It was their diligent joy...obeying without question, the Father's command. They were preparing for the new life to come. Now, that season is over and the nests belong to another season...one that is gone. Unfettered, the birds have moved on. This is a little sign of their obedience and trust. Birds only know now...today. They are cared for moment by moment by a Love that provides all their needs. They are a picture of freedom. They fly. They sing. They belong to their Creator, Who has designed them...each feather tailor-made...for flight. 

You, My beloved, are My little songbird. I have designed you to be unique and free. I have designed you to sing your heart out to Me. I have created you for flight. ..to soar in the freedom that was purchased for you as the Great and Perfect Gift of your life. You have assembled the little twigs of your heart and created places designed for the seasons before you. You have used the gifts I've given and waited for life to emerge. Each nest you made with love and with an eye to My design... listening all the while to hear My still small Voice saying, "This is the way." Now, I am teaching you to live a life of freedom and ease...of confidence in the constancy of the Father's loving care. I'm teaching you to let go of all the encumbrances that might hold you back and down. ..restrain your flight and muffle the song that must be released. All your nests have produced life, but they do not belong to today. The Kingdom is eternally NOW and the sweet mystery that is Your resting place, your nest forever, is right in the Father's Hand. Now, you need not build, but merely rest in the sweet goodness that is yours. This is the Gift. I have come that you might have Life. Relax, beloved, and live in this Perfect Love that knows no bounds, that is unfailing and completely yours forever and ever.
