February - Holy, Holy, Holy is the God Almighty. Great in majesty and honor. Worship him now and always. Don't turn to the left or to the right, but follow closely after him. Now is the time to fall on your knees before him. He waits for you. He wants to speak into your life.
So come now and worship me. Uphold my name; the name above all names. Dig deep into your heart. What do you see? Do you see me? Are you filled up with my love, my compassion, my mercy? Do you walk my walk and talk my talk? Have I not said come up higher with me? See who I am; the one who sends his blessings upon you, the one who sees all things and knows all things. Have I not created the universe; all you can see - whether you look up or you look down, whether you turn to the left or you turn to the right, my handiwork is there. Have I pleased you? Do you like the beauty in the nature that surrounds you? Do you like how I have clothed the flowers in their many colors? Do you contemplate the majesty of the mountains, the smooth reflection of the lakes and the mighty roar of the sea. What do you see? Do you see the greatness and awesomeness of their creator; of their maker?
Or do you complain and whine as my children did in the desert so many years ago, when I desired to bring them out of captivity and establish them in their promised land filled with my many blessings? Do small inconveniences stifle the joy of the life I have offered you? Are you lax and uncaring about the troubles of today? Or do you press forward through the challenges to a better tomorrow? Let me see your heart. Let me check its heartbeat. Is it for me or another? Where do I stand in the scheme of things in your private world? Am I not the God that created you in my image? Have I not given you dominion to take my kingdom into all the earth? Do you remember the words - on earth as it is in heaven? I have set before you life or death. Which do you choose?
Why am I asking so many questions of you? Are not the world's hearts constantly sending up their questions to me, thinking I must control everything that happens in their life or on this earth? But from the beginning I have given you dominion. I have made you in my image and given you a mind that can create. I have given you authority by my son's name, to go into all the world taking my word, healing the sick and casting out demons. Is this what I find those who say they love me doing?
Take time to sit with me that I may speak to your heart, for I am not distant. I love my people so. Do you know the love I have for you? Do you feel my love that floods my heart for you? Rest now. Take time for joy. Take time for pleasure. In joy and pleasure, find meaning in your work and find hope for the future. For this I say, "In me, your life is complete."
April - Come now and rest in me. I am your rest. My world has gone topsy-turvy. It is filled with crime and hatred. Where is my love? Where is my mercy? Where is my compassion? Who will I find doing my will when I return. Hear me, Oh my people. My heart cries to your heart. Follow after me. See me as the God who loves you. Therefore, I say to you, love others. Is that not my way? Have I not loved you with an everlasting love? Drink in of my love. Let it surround you and fill you.
2009
May - Tell my people I am still here waiting for them. Always loving them, always waiting. Fill my heart with your praises that I may know you love me too. Sing from the rooftops of my love for you. Sing songs of praise that all may be well. I see your future. I see your past. I am the God that sees all and knows all. So come to me now that I may care for you, that I may bless you, and that I may heal you. Come now, come and rest with me.
June - Tell my people to come to me. Now is the time. Get serious. It is not time for frivolity. Hear my voice. Listen to me. All is not well. It is time to pray. Pray for your country, pray for the times. Join me. Become one with me in thought and deed, as my son was one with me. Fall on your face before me and seek me with your whole heart. Sing, dance and praise before me. For I delight in your praise. War is in the air; not only upon the earth but in the heavenlies. Pray. Pray with all your might that my will be done. The answers reside in me. I have the power to bring peace. I have the power to stop the wicked. The end of this world as you know it is around the corner, so stay close to me that all may be well.
September - My heart's cry is for my people to know me; to know the love I have for them. It concerns me - the bitterness that rages among my prople Be still. Feel my peace. Feel my love. Be like me. Be certain there is a time for anger and even hate but now is not that time. Lean on me. Trust me. See with my eyes. Compare your ways with my ways. See that my ways are good. Fall into place. Fall into line and follow me. I will not steer you wrong for I am your God.
October - Believe me when I say I'm coming soon. The earth cries out for me. See what they've done; how they've polluted my creation. And man also is my creation. I say love one another. Yet they hurt and kill and do all kinds of insults to one another and then blame me for their misery. Where is the justice in that? I am eager to bestow my mercy and grace, but where is your mercy and grace towards one another? I say, I love you. Yet they shake their fists in my face and say they wish they were never born. When will my people come to me? When will they see the love I have for them? When will they stop living in sin and blame me for the consequences? Come now all my people and worship me. Let no one stay behind. Let no one draw back. Follow me. Follow me to the highest mountain tops, to the depths of the oceans, to the sea side, to the tallest trees. All is my creation, created for you, for your enjoyment. Do you enjoy what I've created for you? Do you enjoy the love my mercy and grace gives to you? Do you accept it or reject it? My love waits for you. Fill yourselves with my love. Be free. Be free in me. Free to love. Free to give. Free to be you - the one I created; full of my love, full of my gifts.
