Dear child, He says
I’ve been waiting for you to ask
I’m not a tyrant
I’m your Father
I’m your Abba Daddy
I’m not here to torture you
I’m here to love you
I’m not here to punish you
I’m here to rescue you
I’m not here to break you
I’m here to restore you
I’m not here to destroy your life
I’m here to give you true life
Talk to me as your friend
Then wait and listen for my response
Talk to me as your Father
Wait for the perfect Father’s voice
Share with Me your hopes and dreams
Share with Me your fears and sorrows
Share with Me your deepest longings
Share with Me
I speak in many ways
I speak to each of my children in a unique language
I speak to all who turn away from me
I speak to all who choose to follow my ways
I speak to all
Take time to listen
Be willing to be still
Be open to hearing me
Learn to listen
Listen quietly
Learn to recognize my voice
Sometimes I speak loudly
Usually, I speak softly
Listen for my whisper
My Word teaches you of my character
My Word teaches you of my desire for you
My Word teaches you of my total love for you
My Word teaches you of all I’ve already done for you
There is more
There is so much more
There is more of everything
There is always more
I am more than you can imagine
I am the Creator of all
Expect more
Receive more
More knowledge of me
More experience of me
More of my presence
More of my love
There is so much more!
Sometimes I speak through the clouds in the sky
Sometimes I speak through a child’s voice
Sometimes I speak through a storm
Sometimes I speak through a rainbow
Sometimes I speak through a feeling
Sometimes I speak through a blade of grass
Sometimes I speak through an unexpected thought
Sometimes I speak in an audible voice
Sometimes I speak through crashing ocean waves
Sometimes I speak through a snowflake
Sometimes I speak amidst celebration
Sometimes I speak amidst mourning
Always I am speaking
Always I am speaking to you
Always I Am
Do you hear Me?
Do you see Me?
Learn to listen for Me
Learn to see Me
Learn My ways
I am always with you
Learn to feel My presence
Sometimes My presence is like a feather floating in air
Sometimes My presence is heavy
Sometimes My presence feels like warm oil
Sometimes My presence feels like an electric shock
Sometimes in My presence, you will feel extreme highs
Sometimes in My presence, you will feel extreme lows
Sometimes in My presence, you will feel My extreme love for you
Sometimes in My presence, you will see where you have gone astray
Sometimes in My presence, you will see the heavens
Sometimes in My presence, you will feel my suffering
Sometimes in My presence, you will rejoice
Sometimes in My presence, you will repent
Always there is more
I love you, dear child of mine
I want you to love me back
You harm yourself in your rebellion
You miss out on so much life when you turn your back on Me
You live in darkness
Come out into the light
You live with anger
Come out and live in love
You think you live in freedom
You lug your chains of bondage everywhere
Allow me to break those chains
Let me give you true freedom
There is so much more waiting for you, my child!
More love
More understanding
More experiences
More freedom
More life, true abundant life
More fulfillment
More excitement
More challenges
More joy
More life, true abundant life
Come, dear child of mine
Come, you need hunger no more
Come, satisfaction awaits you
Come, experience the “More!”
