Highway to Heaven



RELAX AND LET ME LEAD YOU through this day. I have everything under control: My control. You tend to peer anxiously into the day that is before you, trying to figure out what to do, and when. Meanwhile, the phone or the doorbell rings, and you have to reshuffle your plans. All that planning ties you up in knots and distracts you from Me. Attentiveness to Me is not only for your quiet time, but for all your time. As you look to Me, I show you what to do now and next.

 

Vast quantities of time and energy are wasted in obsessive planning. When you let me direct your steps, you are set free to enjoy Me and to find what I have prepared for you this day.

 

Psalm 32:8; Psalm 119:35; Psalm 143:8


HOPE is a golden cord connecting you to heaven. This cord helps you hold your head up high, even when multiple trails are buffeting you. I never leave your side, and I never let go of your hand, but without the cord of hope, your head may slump and your feet may shuffle as you journey uphill with Me. Hope lifts your perspective from your weary feet to the glorious view you can see from the high road.

 

You are reminded that the road we're traveling together is ultimately a highway to heaven. When you consider this radiant destination, the roughness or smoothness of the road ahead becomes much less significant. I am training you to hold in your heart a dual focus: My continual Presence and the hope of heaven.

 

Romans 12:12; 1 Thessalonians 5:8; Hebrews 6:18-19

LET MY LOVE seep into the inner recesses of your being. Do not close off any part of yourself from Me. I know you inside and out, so do not try to present a "cleaned-up" self to Me. Wounds that you shut away from the Light of My Love will fester and become wormy. Secret sins that you "hide" from Me can split off and develop lives of their own, controlling you without your realizing it.

 

Open yourself fully to My transforming Presence. Let My brilliant Love-Light search out and destroy hidden fears. This process requires time alone with Me, as My love soaks into your innermost being. Enjoy My perfect Love, which expels every trace of fear.

Psalm 139:1-4, 23-24; 1 John 4:18 (AMP)
