If you are visiting fromGraceforGlory for the first time, please take a minute to read the ABOUT section. I believe God has given me the ability to hear Him — so you can hear him also. He calls me His Child – but has reminded me often that these words are for ALL His children. I invite you to listen as HIS child. Remember always, God loves you. †

Father, I need you. I ask forgiveness and grace. Precious Lord – I have not taken time to begin my day here with you – quietly – lovingly – and my world has become chaotic.
“Child, yes, because your world became centered on you – “my” world. You must stay in My† world … with me. In the loving word of peace and light. Here you must dwell. To be in the secular world, child, you must stay in the word – you must stay in prayer. Child, you have not been away ..
Shshshs, be still, still … close your eyes and be very still … shshshs
You ask about your precious girls in the youth group. Again, controversy, again, the same woman. Child, be quiet, be still – and simply listen. You have not caused the problems; you have loved and served, for no other reason but to serve. You think you must leave to create peace – that if you leave – there will be no more controversy – and thus, you will protect the girls from the disruption — the collateral damage. Child – when it is time for you to leave – you will know and have no question. Today you are anxious- weary – though leaving does not seem right. Child – stay and speak. Speak truth – the truth of love. Child, love them – you must – only through love can you speak the truth. Love them , and yes, turn the other cheek. When you left before, did things change? Of course not child. Take the YES bracelets – speak first. Ask them when they said YES what did they mean? Was it YES to their own agenda, to their own standards, to their own expectations, to their own judgment — or was it YES to service – to serving God … and what does that look like? Peace? Harmony? Love? How do you get there child? Through Jesus!
Shshshs child, be still, know the love of Jesus resides in your heart and hold tight to … shshsh … Listen child – concentrate on the silence, on the sweet fragrance of the candle. With the free flow of the fragrance let the spirit flow into your heart, equally free, child. Listen; just listen to hear … no more questions. Just listen to what you must hear child. Today – now – these words are for you. Child, you are mine. You belong to me. You serve only me. In all that you do – do it for me. Child, you feel guilty for wishing for a surprise birthday party – why? I call you “child” – because you are my child – you love like a child loves his father – with adoration, devotion and completely. So, beautiful child – you delight in surprises … as a child. The bracelet Pat gave you last night – totally unexpected – thoughtful, because it was chosen just for you. It was not just the bracelet that touched your heart – it was that it was unexpected and given with love. Child – yes- the child in you yearns for surprises – and the love in you yearns for love. Child, be with me on the 11th. Celebrate with me for you are being reborn – reborn into service and reborn – as an infant … because you have so much to learn and discover Child, as you learn – teach others. You often say “we are called to teach what we need to learn.”
Child – I am calling you to learn and discover. Remember when you discovered the stars again with your precious daughter Erin? Child, every new discovery is a surprise – a delight – to fuel your passion – your faith—your energy to move forward in the work I have for you to do.
Child – on the 11th — be re-birthed – and begin a new. A new life of service – of spiritual growth. Child, the celebration will be ours. Gather with your sisters, sisters in Christ – pray on that day – pray unceasingly. Commune with my son – and live truth.
Child, let your heart not be heavy about the situation with the youth group …”
Father, yes, I see you have provided strong leadership – a man who loves you and seeks truth – and serves truth. I have spoken with John and have total confidence in his spirit – in his strength. A man with no other agenda than to take care of the girls. Thank you Father – for grace, for peace of mind, for allowing me to attend the meeting tonight confident of your presence and guidance.
Father, your love is amazing.
“Child, just listen, listen closely – hear the clock? When you hear the clock you are turning to the small and delicate sounds – the sounds of time – now silence the clock in your mind and hear only me – for child, in me, with me, through me, for me – there is no time. Child – you wish to celebrate this birthday as a milestone – a marker for how much time has passed. I wish you to celebrate as a beginning – a new birth – of how much time is ahead – for child, my child – my children face eternity. Eternity precious princess. Truly you enter each day born again – forgiven and blessed for eternity. On the day of your birth – celebrate – it is a cross roads and it will amaze you – for my glory child. Celebrate with me in timeless silence, in beauty, in praise, in rest. Rejoice in the new day – breathe in the truth of who you are and who I have called you to be. Silent – hearing not the clock tick but the precious sounds of grace – the birds, the breeze, the infant’s sweet bre
ath – the silent words of love and wisdom from my son. Child, in silence celebrate – dance the memorable dance with your earthly father – – dance again and know as lovely as you felt – as safe as you felt .. He loves you still and holds you in his arms as he did on that day. Move confidently knowing that he led you … and will lead you always, lovingly – to your glory. The photo you cherish is a picture of a father who is very proud and loves his daughter more than life. Child, he still does. Know and rest in that truth.
Precious child – go boldly into the day to love.
Love everyone – everyone. You may not love their deeds but love their hearts.
Love
Love more
Love only
As I love you.”
Amen Amen Amen
from grace for glory
