Rest In My Love

You don’t fully understand My love for you. It flows and pulsates; it hovers over you. It is deep and passionate. It is never-ending. I only want what’s best for you–the very best!

When you are afraid of making a mistake, you aren’t seeing Me clearly.

When you ask for forgiveness more than once (for the same thing), you are giving in to unbelief and fear, for you are completely forgiven the first time.

Rest in My arms. Trust in My forgiveness and favor.

I know your heart–you want to please Me. Let Me take care of you; let Me guide you. I will help you find the right path.

You will hear My voice, for I will increase you hearing. You will see My face of love and compassion turned toward you.

Rest in My love. I will take care of everything!
