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! I want you to follow the dreams that I put into your heart. I placed desires and dreams in you that I want you to share with the world. I gave you a unique mission to fulfill. It has to do with the DNA I placed inside you. The dreams you need to fulfill are impossible to do without me. I made them impossible so you would realize your need for us to work together to fulfill them. It has everything to do with the way I created you. I knew you before you were born; before you were conceived in your mother's womb. I formed you to be the person you are even before you came to be. You are fearfully and wonderfully made. Delight in your identity in Me. Delight in who you are. I took great pleasure in creating each aspect of your personality and quirkiness. You being yourself and all that means gives me great delight. I love watching you be you. My heart grieves when you try to be someone else or try to hide who I created you to be. I want you to enjoy your identity...

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 AM the God of the impossible. I take the mountains in your path and cast them into the sea. I love to open doors that you see as tightly shut. I love to move obstacles that seem insurmountable. Come to me. Open your heart to my possibilities. Give your fears, doubts, and disappointments to me and allow me to work through them. Paul wrote that all things work together for good to those who love me and are called according to my purpose. That means you! I called you and I have a purpose for you. You may not see the purpose in the struggles you are facing today but stand firm. I have a solution that you haven't even thought of yet. It may not look like a solution at first but as you step through the open door, you will see the amazing life I have planned. I love you! I don't waste anything you have gone through. Even in the darkest times of your life, I AM there. Not I was there. I AM there. We can go back and visit that darkness and together we can see m...

My child, I love you! I invite you to come dance with Me! I want you to move with Me. I know the right moves to take you into the next level with Me. I need you to trust Me and allow Me to lead you. At first it might feel awkward. You may feel that it can't be done. But if you will allow Me to teach you the steps and lean into Me as you hear the beat of the music of my heart, it will begin to feel natural and you will be free to move to the music. I know the dances that are appropriate for each season in your life. Sometimes I will twirl you around and swing you as I lift you up into higher planes. Sometimes I need you to step on My feet when you don't know which way to move. As you step on My feet, allow Me to show you where to go. At times we will do a slow dance while I hold you close and love on you. Other times we will do a fast dance that will take your breath away. We will even join with others and do a lively line dance that lifts everyone's spirits. All you nee...

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 ...
