(I am your dad)
Awaken My World to a new holy day.
Still your heart. Do not let it race ahead of My suggestions for you for today. Put it at ease and surrender it to Me.
I come with Words of peace not upset.
I come to enhance the Joy in your life.
I come to comfort and console you.
What do you need from Me today, right now?
Tell Me. Let Me answer the slightest concern.
I am your Master yes, yet your most obedient servant.
I have Created you, yes, yet o so willing to serve the very creature I have Created.
I am a parent who has called you into being and wants to care for every aspect of you.
Hold you close when you are crying.
Change you from struggling to calmness.
Clothe you with the finest purest garment of holiness and worth and joy and peace
To calm you when you are upset.
To take away your breath at a beautiful sunset
To allay your fears when you feel you are falling into the dark pit.
To be with you, sit with you, answer when you call
To be tender when you need a bandaid
To be corrective when I know it is for your own good
To Love you unconditionally
I am your Dad.
Now, some of you may not have had the greatest experience with your Dad.
I am so sorry. But that was then, this is now.
Come to Me and see how tenderly I will care for you.
I am not a drinker or an abuser or a name caller.
Are these some of the things you experienced with your earthly Dad?
I do not abandon or forsake you or leave you without a goodbye. NEVER. NEVER.
Tell Me your experiences with your Dad.
Stop reading right here and tell Me honestly either through tears or grinding teeth.
Tell Me the sorrow that lies deep in you that was created by another’s actions.
I am here to listen and care for this massive tear in your heart.
I will listen quietly to all your explanations. I will not interrupt or say “well it wasn’t that bad” because for you it was.
After you have explained all of your bad memories about your Dad, please just sit still with Me.
May I gently, o so gently, point out to you that all this mistreatment you received, that was inflicted on you, did not come from someone whose heart was healthy.
Even you have said “How could he have done this to me?” Right?
Only a very sick, sick heart inflicts such pain. Because it does not have a reservoir from which to draw love, kindness, patience, caring.
You cannot change the circumstances that caused his heart pain, nor can you change what happened to you as a child.
What happened truly happened and has left serious scars on your dear heart.
Do you want to go on struggling to live with these scars which you know are not healthy?
You can if you wish.
Yet I throw this out for you to consider.
Do you want to live a less scarred life? A more scar-free life?
Because you know those scars cover up the parts of your heart that want to love tenderly, care often, show great patience.
Do you realize that your heart is now scarred as your Dad’s was and thus this cycle of pain and hurt from the Dad to the child will continue unless the scars are healed?
You can blame your Dad if you wish, for inflicting these scars. But does that make you feel better?
Rather, why not blame Me for making every effort now to heal these scars of yours.
I may be the only one who sees how deep these scars run.
Not even you know what extreme effect they have on even the smallest parts of your life.
But I do, and I want them healed.
I really want your life scar-free.
Are you willing to blame Me for trying to heal you?
I will take the blame because that is what I want to do. I want to heal you! Not punish, put you in your place, belittle you.
I want to raise you up. Show you how worthy of Love you really are. How precious you really are.
I want you to see how worthy others are!
Ooops.
I do not mean that you don’t, but really and truly you can’t when you do not think you are worthy in the first place.
Any love you try to give does not come from a healthy heart and thus is not unconditional love.
Did you realize that your healing will heal others --- even just casual acquaintances?
But let’s not worry about that or be concerned about that right now.
Just tell Me. Do you want to be healed from the scars you endured as a child? YES or NO.
If it is YES, then I will jump in and get started.
If it is NO, I will step back and wait patiently just in case you change your mind.
Which of your answers do you think will lead to a brighter future for you?
Which of your answers do you think will release you from your past pains and sorrows?
I am not telling you that you have to go back and dig them up on your own and review them to relive the moments.
Your heart is not in a healthy space to even dare to do that. That is like inflicting a scar on a scar on a scar.
So, if your answer first and foremost is YES, then come and sit with Me and tell Me, not yourself, your painful memories.
I will cry with you, I will put a gentle hand on the heart scar and heal it.
I will LOVE you. For really that is what you have really missed in all of this --- unconditional LOVE.
Each scar is simply but powerfully a sign of lost Love.
And our hearts are only healthy when they are Loved. So when we experience a withdrawal of Love, our hearts become scarred.
I want your scarred heart healed for your sake.
So you will not, in years to come, cry out to Me and say “I have inflicted on my child what was inflicted on me.”
What an even greater scar this creates – children who don’t love you because of how you treated them.
So let’s take care of your hurt heart right now.
Let’s start right now. It is never too late.
NEVER, EVER tell Me that it is too late to start.
Those words are not commands, but reassurances to you that it is NEVER too late to seek healing.
I tell you and so it is so.
Come to Me, sit with Me, tell Me your life pains. Nothing is too BIG or too small for Me to hear and care about.
I want you healed.
Did I say that before? Well I will say it again.
I want you healed so the love you thought you lost in your childhood will relive in your heart NOW.
I can do this.
I want to do this.
I want you healed.
If you want to be healed and I want you healed I think we are in agreement and what a great place from which to start --- both of us with each other in mutual Love one for the other.
Let’s get started, right now.
Put down this reading and sit with Me. I Love you.
I know you want to be Loved, even more importantly ---- GET THIS --- I know you want to be able, to be free to Love with caring, patience, kindness, joy.
What a revelation --- you ache to Love!!!
You see your heart was made for loving yet when it is so scarred it can’t, so a large part of you has been crippled, as if you had a broken body part, and so your heart cannot live up to its potential.
Wow, say it “I ache to Love, Lord.”
“My heart, Lord, aches to Love.”
It is no longer about the lost love but the really and truly true ache “to Love.”
Did you ever think this way before?
Were you more concerned about what hurt you in the past that did not let you see what the real pain was?
Not that you were not loved, but that your heart ached to love and there was no place to put it!
Oh, God, what a revelation!
Do you see why I write you to come and sit with Me?
I have so much glorious Good News to share with each of you.
Come and be filled with Me this Lent. I LOVE you.
Come to learn how to love from the Maker of Love.
