Holy Spirit?  

I am always here listening for your cry of woe, or hope, or fear, or interest. How I long for you to want me more: more nearly, more dearly, more often. I want to be wanted just for the sake of being wanted. Sometimes my people come to me just to be in my presence and share love songs. It is such a delight when my children come to me just to be with me, with no wants. To seek wisdom is good; I initiate this. To seek to be useful in my kingdom is likewise a good thing; the fruits of my spirit last to the ends of eternity. To seek to know me intimately — to become one with me in all ways — there is no desire more worthy of honour than this. You are my child, my bride. To be one with me is to reach the conclusion of your journey. For this purpose I have created and borne with long suffering the idiosyncrasies and sufferings of man, that we might be made one.
Bask in my presence. Allow me to be your protector, provider, defender. Is this not who a husband is? Does not a father care for his child with a fierce love, and tender? Oh how I long for you to enjoy my presence in you. I want you to know that in me you are safe, and to have you curl up into me as a small child curls up into a warm space. Rest, my beloved. Rest in the warmth of my love which is for you.  

Father, I picked at my lip the entire time you have been speaking to me. Why?

You have not yet become willing to believe that it is safe for you to be beautiful in my presence. You have not yet pressed in to believe by knowing that your safety depends on me. What you know in your mind has not yet been pressed into the fabric of your body-being. You are not fully aware of the warm security of my cuddle. If you go into hell, I’ll be there. When you pick, when you fall asleep repeatedly, when you daydream and become unaware, you are escaping your reality. When you hold yourself still and find it difficult to hear or swoon in dizziness, you are retreating from what you think is a life that is too hard to bear. 

 Have not I asked to bear your burdens? Do I leave you alone? Think back. Has there ever been a situation I did not carry you through: loss of friends, assaults of various kinds, attempts by death to take you from the earth before your time? Persecution is never pleasant. I sweat drops of blood before the cross. I have wept tears of grief at the atrocities of my people and wished that I had not created mankind in My image and allowed them to fall. I cannot promise that mankind will not hurt you again and again. What I can promise is to be in you to bear those burdens with you if you are open to having me there. I promise to open my arm to create a warm, safe place for you to rest in. It is not your body that is in need, it is your spirit-mind and soul. I am here. I Am.

I will fear no harm, for thou oh God, art with me.

Free your mind from the past. It is a lie of Satan that those things can still hurt you. Be still and know that I am God.

If You Cry Like a Baby

I am here to comfort you in all things. You are right to seek my comfort in this way. It is not a small thing to approach your God for assistance; this is the very fabric of your being in which form you were made. The infant cries out for nurture, comfort, companionship, food, clothing, cleansing, recreation, So too do I desire that you return to your first love. I am Love and I knew you before you were born. While still in the womb, I carried you. Love is not a promise to keep you from the slings and arrows of the world. I Am Love to whom you can cry out and from whom you can expect comfort, soothing ointments, immeasurable truths: that you might walk upright in the world undefeated by oppressive thoughts and victorious in purity of thought before the enemy.  

I am here to be your peace, if you will let me. So said the prophets: that my Son shall be known by the peace of my people. Those who have no trials do not need to seek my peace. These are content in the world and find no need of me. But you have been tried, and by trial you are found blameless because you seek my assistance, the blood death and resurrection of my Son.  

I am ever with my people; my chosen ones are ever aware of me their Righteousness. They do not seek to do, of their own strength. As an infant they understand that their only hope is to cry out to the One who is greater than they, and by relying they find the provision of their every need that they might grow in grace and in the knowledge of Jesus Christ. They are changed by my perfect care -- my perfect supply of all their needs. I do not give substandard care. My children grow up into Me, where they belong. All I ask is to be sought after.

Cry out like the infant unto Me and declare your trust in praise and songs of adoration. I will feed you beside still waters. I will restore your soul.

I Am at Rest in My Beloved

I Am at Rest in My Beloved

There is never a time when you are alone. Never. I am always by your side, inside, outside, in your thoughts and you in Mine. I am ever present to be all that is required of Me for your good works and rest and pleasure. I fill all needs in a good way and in a good time. Time is no longer an issue. Time has passed its purpose and all shall soon experience freedom from it. I Am has spoken into being the end of creation and the beginning of Almighty God in all and for all. We make our home with you and abide in you who give us rest even as you rest in our good works. I am at rest in My beloved. My beloved is mine in whom to delight, and her life is in Me for delight to her. We are One. We who are married are One body, one flesh, one spirit. We are One soul. We are complete. We are finished. We Are. What will be will be and what has been done has been done and there will be no telling the end from the beginning in the completion of our perfect union.  

In time, men seek to escape. In eternity, man seeks to enter — indeed he has no need even for that for he has already come. Drink to me only with thine eyes. Look not to men for an understanding. All who seek me early have found Me. I am thine own Heavenly Father and thou My earthly daughter bride. We are. I Am. The Essence of all that I am is Love. Brother, sister, mother, father, bride, groom, daughter, son, friend– all are symbolic of the great love I have for you who are no longer created ones but who are now made perfect in all that I am. We are Love. I am Love. You are Love, lover and beloved. There are no holes from which your perfection might leak. You are made perfect in He who is Perfect. My peace I give unto you; My Peace you have become. In the fullness of time all who see you shall be amazed at your glory, and you at theirs. There is now no separation between us. We all are one; one bride, one son, one Light of the glory of God. How so? Have I not done all things from before the creation of the world? Have I the Lord thy God not done this? Indeed, I have folded you in with angel’s wings and tucked you into the creation Creator, your Almighty. As it has always been, so is it now and so will it be. I change not nor turn from My ways to another. It is always with only one plan that I love you– that we may be One. It is spoken. It is so. The Almighty has said so.
