“He answered them, The Man Who healed me and gave me back my strength, He Himself said to me, Pick up your bed and walk!” John 5:11 (AMPC)

One word from Jesus changes everything.  In all times and in every situation, with power filled words of life, He knows exactly what to say.  And in every circumstance, no matter how complicated, He knows exactly what to do.

Where is your strength failing you today cherished one?  Where is your heart weary or your hands weak?  Try to shut out, if you can, any voice, internal or external, that wants to say you are not enough, don’t know enough, can’t do enough.  Listen instead to the voice of love that says you are, and have, more than enough!

Can you hear Him dear heart?  Can you hear His words of life and hope, acceptance, belonging, and understanding? Tender words to His beloved, filled with compassion and caring that say, “Stay close to Me, heart of My own heart.  I will lead you through”.  Yes, dearest one, that’s you!
