I sing praises about My People.
I adore My People. I delight in their kindness, goodness, patience, understanding, wisdom.
Many know Me, some know about Me, while others may never have heard of Me.
I want to help each one of you to know Me better.
I want to whisper in your ear that you are My Beloved.
Some of you may delight in hearing this, some of you may wonder what it means, while others may consider it nonsense.
I don’t mind how it is received. I am delighted to be able to give it.
Because once you hear it, your heart will receive it with delight because it was made for love and knows the Creator of Love when it hears His Voice.
Your heart will keep reminding you that I have whispered these Words to you and it will ache to hear My Voice proclaim these words again.
It will be restless within you.
So I will keep whispering in your ear. “You are My Beloved” – not because of what you have done or what you have failed to do.
I have claimed you before the Father as My Beloved and was willing to suffer and die for you.
Listen again “You are My Beloved.”
Now say it to yourself “I am God’s Beloved.”
Some of you will probably not dare to say this phrase to your own heart. But you just did!
It doesn’t matter if you did it with the greatest trepidation or the greatest belief. Your heart heard it and is healthier for it.
“Darn”, says you. That was not your plan to say those Wondrous Words to your heart.
You didn’t mind it so much when Jesus said it to you -- that was just Him talking.
But heh, when your own voice – either from your larynx or from your mind says it – yikes, now where do you stand.
Do you want to put these readings down right away and avoid saying the phrase again.
But, I bet you want to say it again almost as a dare to show Me that it doesn’t really apply to you and that you don’t mind your heart hearing it from you because you don’t believe it is real or will have any effect on you.
Ok, I challenge you to say it 5 times a day, or maybe 10 times a day.
Then come to Me in a weeks time and show Me your heart. I will point out to you the areas that have been well-affected by this phrase.
Your heart will rejoice to see that I can see an improvement in it. Do you not think that your heart wants to be well in you and for you?
I did not install it to lead you into an unhealthy life style.
Your heart beats to the rhythm of Love and when that is lacking it just beats to whatever cadence it can grasp hold of.
It is like someone who is starving. Even though the body is supposed to get good nourishing food to survive, it will endeavor to survive on the smallest scrap of food it can find. You would say that that person is still alive, yet not in the wellness of life.
So with the heart. It can survive even in the darkest of places, yet it is not well. It is not nourished as it needs to be to be well and acting well in a person’s life.
The challenge is now out there for you to say this phrase 5 times a day. Maybe 10 times a day.
You don’t even have to believe it!! Surprise! Surprise!
Because the heart will! This is the nourishment your heart craves! It needs to hear these words for its very well being.
And even though you may not believe it, the heart knows the Words are not your words, but Mine and that My Message to your heart is Full and Sincere.
So are you ready for the challenge?
Then let’s get started….
1. I am God’s Beloved.
2. I am God’s Beloved.
3. I am God’s Beloved.
4. I am God’s Beloved.
5. I am God’s Beloved.
You can stop here if you wish OR you can continue and say it 10 times
6. I am God’s Beloved
7. I am God’s Beloved
8. I am God’s Beloved.
9. I am God’s Beloved.
10. I am God’s Beloved.
Now look around you. Has anything around you, within you changed dramatically or drastically? You may not feel it but your heart is lighter for it!
Remember this is not a magic phrase – Heaven forbid – but rather it is a meaningful phrase that you and your soul may not have heard before or paid attention to before.
Let’s say it 5-10 times a day for the next little while. All you have to do it for is once every day. It will take but a few seconds here, yet will ring through the Halls of Eternity.
When you think about it, it will not cost you a penny. It is barely noticed in the time frame of your day --- waiting for the bus, while the kettle boils, out for your 30 minute morning walk.
I, the Lord, must caution you. You will find saying it only 5-10 times a day will not be sufficient.
After awhile, as you increase your bodily exercise time you will find you will increase your ‘saying’ time. So instead of 5-10 times a day, it may be 15 – 20 times a day or more!
And as you see others at the bus stop or exercising you will say to your heart “He or she is also God’s Beloved One,” and wonder if that person knows that.
Rejoice that you know you are His Beloved One and each person in your life and way beyond is also --- this does not by any means diminish His Love for you.
His Love is Boundless and He wants you and you and you – He wants each ‘you’ saved.
