Marla's Moments with the Master

I love you, my child! You bring a smile to my face. I love to see you love My people and those who need to know I care about them. Be confident in who I made you. I have great plans for you to minister to me and those I put in your path. Step in ALL I have for you. Don't be afraid to speak the truth in love. Don't hold back what I have placed in you. I am giving you favor that opens doors you never thought could open. Your heart toward Me opens those doors. Love as I love. Don't be discouraged! You make me smile when I look at you. I love who I made you to be!

My child, I love you! Love. What does that word conjure up in your mind? Maybe you have experienced love that hurt or love that was selfish or love that was demanding or judgmental or jealous. I am sorry that you have experienced love that was not good for you. I want to show you the God kind of love. This love is unconditional, sacrificial, and unselfish. I loved you so much that I laid down my life for you. I wanted you to be with me forever. My kind of love isn't dependent on whether you measure up, how pretty you are, or how much you love me. My kind of love saw you in your nakedness, in your shame, in your sin, and loved you anyway. I loved you before you ever knew me. I love you! This love is patient and kind. It is not jealous, boastful, proud, or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable and keeps not record of wrongs. This love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance. Nothing you can do will chang...

My child, I love you! I get excited when we are together. I love when you spend time with me. I created you to connect with me and to move with me. I love your passion for me. I have great plans for you. Come with me and we will go to wonderful places together. Do not be afraid of stepping out and moving with me. I will never leave you. I will never take you somewhere that is dangerous or not good for you. But remember that we do not always see things the same. My ways are not your ways. I see the big picture. That makes trust in me so important. You can trust me that even though something is hard for you to understand or deeply painful, it is not going to break you as long as you keep trusting and hanging on to me. I work all things out for good in your life and the lives of those around you. I am always good! I make all things new. Even though you walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I am there. Even if it feels like you are all alone, I am there. Trust me to take you to...

My child, I love you! I began my ministry by showing my mother, the wedding party, and my disciples that I save the best for last. The truth is that I am the best and I was saved for the end of the old covenant. I am the best sacrifice ever. I am the once-for-all blood sacrifice that brought in the new covenant of grace and forgiveness. I am the best ever friend, lover, servant, king, Lord, and sacrificial lamb there ever was. When you are at the end of your rope, when you feel there is nothing left or no good could ever come, I usher in a new day that is the best! I bring new life, new covenant, new hope. And I use everything you have gone through. I don't waste any trial, loss, pain, or suffering that you have gone through. I turn it around and bring beauty, hope, love, and life. I bring something more beautiful that what you lost. I save the best for last in your life and in the stages of your journey. Don't give up hope when just around the corner is the best life you have ...

My child, I love you! Do not be anxious about anything but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to Me. Are you feeling anxious about anything? Do you find yourself worrying about what might happen? My child, do not let your heart be troubled! I know what you are going through but even more than that, I want to calm your heart. I want you to be still. Come to Me when you are weary and heavy burdened. I give REST. This rest is not necessarily sleep but it might include that. This rest is being calm even when things around you are crazy. Come to Me. Let me lead you to the quiet waters. Let me lead you to green meadows. Let's rest together. Put your head on my shoulder and allow me to comfort you. Allow Me to provide for your needs. Fill up with My presence and My love so that there is no room in your heart for anxiety or fear. You can trust Me with your future when you put your future in My hands and let me work things out for your good ...

My child, I love you! I want you to know that there is nothing you can do to stop the love I have for you. Even before I created the world, I had you in mind. I delighted in creating every aspect of your personality and every part of your being. I created you to love. I created you to serve. I created you to enjoy life. I created you to be creative and design things. I gave you a purpose to fulfill. Even if your beginning seemed like an accident or a mishap, I designed you. It doesn't matter if your parents didn't love you or didn't meet your needs. I have always been there cheering you on, loving you, giving you confidence, helping you when you felt like no one was there. There is nothing that can change the way I see you. I see you as my beloved child. I see you as a prince or princess, royalty in My kingdom. Come to me and let my love for you penetrate your heart. I am waiting to embrace you and hold you. I love to spend time with you. I love to see you laugh. I love to ...

My child, I love you! Today is the day for new life! This is the season to celebrate life. I died so that you could have life and live it to the full. I arose from the dead to prove that I have the power to overcome death. There is new life all around you at this time of year. It is a reminder of what I did for you. I love you so much that I willingly suffered and died so that you could have new life. The same power that raised Me from the dead is alive in you when you accept Me as your Savior and Lord. That power is mighty power. It is able to tear down the strongholds that are standing in your way. It is able to bring you into all I have purposed for you. Dare to break through to become all that I designed for you. Don't let fear stand in the way! My perfect love casts out all fear. Fear is nothing compared to what I have in mind for you. My child, I love you! I did all of this for you because I cannot bear the idea of you not being with Me for all eternity! It also pains me grea...

My child, I love you! I am excited when you come to Me. I love to see your face light up when you see Me! My face lights up even more than yours does! Everyone should have someone who is delighted to see them so much that their face lights up when they walk into a room. My face lights up when I see you! I delight in you! I love to spend time with you! You don't have to worry about what you've done or try to "clean up" before seeing Me! Come to Me and I will cover you, wash you clean, and clothe you! There is nothing you have done or nothing you can do to stop Me from being excited to see you. There is nothing you can do that will change the love I have for you. I loved you when you were deep in sin before you let Me wash you clean. I love you now even though you may feel like you are unlovable. Come to Me and see My face light up with delight that you came to spend time with Me. I love you!

My child, I love you. You may know this in your head but do you know it in your heart? Do you know how much I love you? Do you know it deep in the recesses of your heart? I paid a huge price so that you could experience the depths of my love every day of your life. I gave everything I had so that we could have a relationship. I want you to know that there is nothing you can do to lesson my love for you. I died for you when you were deep in sin before you even knew who I was; before you even existed. I did this because I have a plan and a purpose for you. I want you to become everything I designed you to be. I want you to know me in such a way that you will be confident of who I created you to be and will accomplish all that I have planned for you. I know that when you do what you were designed to do, you will find fulfillment and contentment and blessings like you could never accomplish when you try to do life without me. But even if you decide not to follow me or you fail miserably at...
