Helping you be Youier ...

Today’s Holy Spirit Love Note:

What if you stopped thinking and planning based on efficiency? What if you didn’t look for the quickest, most effective way to get something done? I’m not asking you to waste time, that would be silly, but instead I’m inviting you to not be ruled by time.

Yes, I know we’ve explored this before but you’re still not really getting it. I understand that from your perspective, time is something that you feel like you never have enough of. You find yourself constantly trying to manipulate time so you can give yourself a sense of “getting ahead”. You want to create space in your day but do you know what you’re wanting to create space for?

Spaciousness for the sake of spaciousness is a waste. What is it that you’re really desiring? What kind of a day would most make you smile? What are the things you love to do that you feel like you never have enough time for?

I can meet and surpass your greatest desires. I know the things that bring you joy because I created you with those pieces inside of you. I also know how your relationship with time works, the way that the clock has the ability to paralyse you or motivate you, depending upon the circumstances.

This is an opportunity to explore with me the kind of life you’d most like to live. Not every moment of every single day is going to be glorious but what if we could move closer to that as your default?

Yes, part of that is about shifting your definition of glorious because this is about recognising the delight and beauty all around you, but it is possible for most days to be delightful. Do you really believe that? What needs to change for you to take me at my word and really thrive?

Today’s Holy Spirit Love Note:

There is a plan and a purpose for your life. There really is absolutely nothing accidental about you. On purpose, for a purpose. And you’re free to choose and make decisions and do life however you would like to. Do you believe both of these things to be true? And you feel the tension? You wonder how there can be a plan and a purpose for your life and you have freedom to do whatever your heart desires?

What if you were created with dreams and desires that are custom made with your plan and purpose in mind? What if the one who created you knew exactly what you’d need in order to step into everything that was imagined for you and what if those things were hard-wired in?

The things that you’re passionate about, the things that are on your heart, the injustices you want to see righted in the world? Who do you think you get those from? You are not an accident and neither are your passions, interests and desires!

It’s time to stop worrying about how all these things can be true and instead embrace the truth and run with it! Who did I create you to be? What are those things that light you up? What am I stirring your heart about? I’m readying you to step fully into all that it means for you to be you – and that’s going to include some action.

Explore with me again those hopes, dreams and promises. Allow me to remind you who I say you are and then ask me what we’re going to do about it. You can be you everywhere you go today, that is a beautiful thing, and there is something specific that it is time to move from your heart into the world.

Don’t be afraid. I am with you, always. I will forsake you, never. Ask me to show you what’s on your heart that the world needs right now today.

Today’s Holy Spirit Love Note:

Sometimes you feel the urge to get up and move, change your perspective literally by moving to a different location and that can be great but sometimes that urge is simply a distraction. How can you possibly know the difference? The way you do everything … checking in with me.

Sometimes the thing that you thought would be easy suddenly feels difficult, like wading through mud, and you wonder if it would be better to change your plans. Tweaking and adjusting has value and other times the invitation is to recognise, explore and move through the resistance. How are you to know what my best is for you? Easy … ask me.

Sometimes you think you can’t hear me. It feels to you like I have nothing to say and you consider the possibility that I’m quiet because there are pieces I’ve already shown you that you haven’t actioned yet but other times you’re reminded that I’m always with you, always whispering to you, and you simply need to be. Where can you find the truth in that moment? With me!

Do you see the pattern here? Do you understand what I’m wanting to remind you about? Life is full of apparent contradictions and confusions, not everything will be clear to you all of the time, but there is never an occasion when I will refuse to share my heart with you. There is no scenario where I won’t help you move into my best. You simply need to ask.

Why is asking so hard for you? Are you still operating under the illusion that you’re meant to have all the answers? Have you slipped into thinking that there are some areas of your life that I’m asking you to handle on your own?

I don’t want you to be passive, we’re co-labourers in this adventure, but consider what “together” really means. United, in one place, of one mind. You’re really not meant to play on your own!

Today’s Holy Spirit Love Note:

I am patient. I am kind. I am love. And I’m very content to play the long game. You don’t see how all the pieces fit together because you can’t see all the pieces. You only see the things that are in your hand right now – and even then you get distracted by what you don’t have and what you can’t do. That’s not an accurate way to see the fullest, most beautiful picture in all its technicolour glory!

Instead of focussing on what you don’t have, let me show you the real value of what you’re holding right now because when you see from my perspective, it will change everything for you. You’re not as limited in your options as you think you are. You have so much more freedom than you realise.

What will you do with your freedom? Because you’re free to live in relationship with me and to embrace everything that that means. Nothing is restricted or off limits. The real issue is your heart and what you allow to have your focus. Focus is important because those things that you think of as your calling, uniquely yours and a gift from me, can become a snare if you allow them priority over everything and everyone in your life.

Not at any cost, remember? Love me and love people. Fix your eyes on Jesus when you’re not sure what that looks like – and remember that you’re “people” too. It’s okay to be kind to you and allow yourself the same space and boundaries and time alone with me that Jesus had. He really is your greatest example. And you are as loved by me as Jesus is. Yes, I know that is another thought that makes your mind boggle. Sit with it for a moment: You are as loved as Jesus!

Today’s Holy Spirit Love Note:

Time is not what you think it is and yes, if you ask ten different people you’re going to get ten wildly different answers about how I operate in and outside time. You could invest hours trying to learn more. You could read and study and explore but what if the answers are still lacking? What if you instead let go of the need to know and simply trusted that I am with you in this moment?

With you in this moment and I’ve gone ahead of you to prepare the way and I’m bringing up the rear guard to protect you from your past. That’s how good and kind and loving I am. Your ability to understand – or even not understand – doesn’t impact my ability to move. I am not limited by your understanding.

When you ask me about time, what do you really want to know? You want to know if I’m in all things, moving and working for good. You want to know that, no matter what happens today, nothing catches me by surprise. You want to know that you are protected and loved. And you know the answers already so why the puzzle?

You can’t get your head around the fact that I saw you before I created the world. That makes your mind ache but what if you don’t need to know how this is possible? There are some things for which the answer can only be “but God” and whilst that won’t satisfy everyone, is it enough to satisfy you? Can you rest knowing that there are things about me you simply can’t understand?

Rest knowing and then move forward, one thing at a time, with me because you are governed by time and there are things I would love us to explore together. Let’s explore those things together and leave the puzzles to those who don’t want to take action today.

Today’s Holy Spirit Love Note:

Relationships are so much more important to me than you realise. Your relationship with me, yes and your relationships with the people around you. When you choose people over projects, I am delighted. The projects have value of course, but where’s the joy in meeting every deadline at the expense of love?

No it doesn’t need to be either one or the other. You can absolutely love well and explore everything I’m inviting you into – but you have a tendency to prioritise checking off items on your to-do list when the most important aspects of your day are those things that would never make a to-do list in the first place.

What are those ways that you love that you almost take for granted? They’re hard to quantify and you definitely don’t need a list but those pieces are vital!

And it’s okay to have boundaries. Yes, love well but you can’t be everything for everyone. Look to Jesus as your example. Even within the community of the twelve, he loved appropriately. He had people who he spent more time with than others, he wasn’t all things to all people, and he never let guilt get in the way of taking time away with me.

The age you live in expects you to be always on, always available, but what if that’s not my best for you? There is beauty in the connectedness of humanity, you were born for such a time as this, and you need to be aware that there is a dark side to this connection.

It’s typical of the enemy to take the beauty and the gifts and exploit them to his own ends – but you don’t need to do life the way society wants you to. It’s counter-cultural yes but what if you chose not to be always available? What if you said an unconditional yes to only a small handful of people and trusted me to help you love everyone else appropriately? I can do that. Relationships are my priority!

Today’s Holy Spirit Love Note:

When you rest in me, I will refuel you. When you take me at my word, I will sustain you. When you believe every word I have spoken, it is credited to you as righteousness. When you speak as I nudge you, not a syllable is wasted. When you love as I love, it is the most powerful moment in your day and must not be underestimated.

These intangible, hard to measure pieces are more important than you realise. They are part of the unseen realm that you’re invited to fix your eyes on. Those things you can’t check off a to-do list might be the most vital part of today. Trust me when I invite you into more of the unmeasurable.

Human being, not human doing, remember? Do you trust that being is enough? Can you take me at my word when I tell you that you are protected and provided for, even as you simply be? You think that there are things that you must do in order for you to realise every promise but what if the promise is already done?

Yes, from my perspective and yes, there are actions you’re being invited to take to help move those promises from the unseen to the seen realm – but less actions and less busy than you currently believe!

I know that some of the things I’m inviting you to journey aren’t easy and you long for this part to be done so you can step into the good and the wonderful. What if there’s good and wonderful right here, right now?

Yes, there is a destination, a moment when the promise is realised, but you don’t need to wait for the fulfilment of that promise before you can smile and relish the moment. And I know that doesn’t always sound easy, you feel like you’ve been wading through treacle and it’s exhausting, but don’t give up. This too shall pass and when it does, you’ll look back in wonder at this moment – but in the meantime, let me show you the wonder in this moment right now.
