+I can use everything in your life to teach you My way of rest. As long as you keep yourself... your inner man... focused on Me...come what may...your joy will not/cannot be thwarted. Receive each moment, even the interruptions (especially the interruptions!) as opportunities to rest in My all-present, unfailing Love. Life can be an exciting game if, like the child I call you to become, you let not your heart be troubled about anything. A child playing in the yard is confident that her mother is sure to call her in for dinner when it's time, so she ignores the hunger she might be feeling, knowing that in good time, she will be fed (like the birds of the air... flitting through the sky...carefree, confident of their Father's care and provision). This mindset is so simple, yet easily lost in the urgent interruptions in a day. The way you maintain your inner child is to set your heart like flint on the unchanging goodness of your Abba. No matter what happens throughout the day, like the house build on the rock, your spirit will not only withstand the buffets of any storm that arises but rather, like an eagle, you will mount up and over the storms... riding the turmoil as it lifts you over and above the fray. Your confident expectation of your powerful Father's influence in every moment keeps your mind and your spirit strong in His strength. This rock-solid expectation of being taken care of by the One Who loves you best is what keeps you in that place of rest. This is becoming like a little child is so simple, yet unfortunately, my little flock often gets tangled in prickly brambles of theological complexity that tie them up in knots. No! No! I'm just looking for my little lambs to let Me carry them... to let Me hold them... who allow themselves the freedom to simply believe! The gift is so enormous, it seems too good to be true. Believe it, beloved! It IS true! God...your adoring, exquisite Father, Who is Love ...gave His One and Only Best Gift to be able to call you His own. So make Him happy and BE HIS!! Be His little carefree child, who trusts Him every minute of every day... who looks for signs of His Presence and Love every moment. Your expectant, upturned face is the joy that was before Me in the black pain I endured. I did it so My Father could be YOUR FATHER! 

This, My little one, is one of the best secrets of the kingdom. To live your life fully, confidently, purposely, all you need to do is to say, "Yes"! Live knowing that you are your Father's precious child. His Joy is to provide and care for you. He will never...never let you down... release His hold on you. He will never forsake you... never stop loving you perfectly. You are and always will be His little girl. Bask in the empowering revelation of what that means. Only a child can believe something that's too good to be true. Believe, My love. Believe and rest. Enjoy every minute of your blood-bought life. Look for and celebrate the little signs of His Love that permeate your days.
