“God – I – created the universe. The stars, moon, your sun. I created you. My Son Jesus spoke the Word – and you came into existence. Not born yet but living in Me, a spirit whole and Loved, knit by our hands.
“Can you see this with your spiritual eyes? Can you begin to understand the Love through which you were created, nestled and complete in Me until the time of your earthly conception? At that moment your spirit joined with the elements of mankind to form the body, soul, and spirit of YOU. The womb nurtured you as I ordained. My Voice birthed you. My Love surrounded you – and carries you still.
“Stop for a moment your earthly pursuits, turn aside from their cares – and marvel at the wonder of YOU.
“Your every moment, the time in which you are reading these words, was ordained by Me. Woven in miracles and silken mystery of My Plans and Destiny for you and your choices of free will, known beforehand by Me. Such mysteries can fill an eternity and not wear out, ever more to be discovered.
“When you feel weak, depressed, small against your world – remember these things. Remember the vast Care and Love and Thought of which you were created. You are not – were never created to be – small. Or weak. Or overcome. Your very existence is My Joy, the crown of My achievements. Such is the LOVE poured into you. Into your Uniqueness. You cannot fathom a LOVE such as Mine for you – yet I ask you to try. For even the smallest corner of understanding far outweighs and victors over your concerns and burdens of earth. When I call you to REST in Me, your God, it is these mysteries of your life interwoven with Me that I call you to contemplate. To nestle into and lose yourself in the wonder of Me and you intertwined. Such REST removes your doubts of WHO you are and invigorates you with My Spirit. Such REST reminds you of your infinite potential in Me, for I AM Infinite.
“Come, My Child, REST in Me. Ask Me where to go, what to say and do in your present situation. Forget your earthly-tethered thoughts and Soar with the possibilities – no longer impossible – I have for you. Rest and soak in My endless energy and strength. Just REST WITH with ME. You are not overcome, you are not out of options. You are with ME. I turn the wheels of this earth. I pinned the stars. I can lead, guide, and refresh you. You are never out of answers. I AM your answer. COME. Forsake your worry and let Me rock you. Come and REST – and be made whole. I AM your God who Loves you. I wait for you with anticipation of what we can do together. COME.”

Notes:
When the Lord speaks of His ordaining of our destiny mixed with our free will–I can surely believe this would take an eternity to ponder. As He often says, the choice to follow Him is ours. All of this is indeed a great mystery. If you have found your way to this word and feel your spirit stirred by it–you can surely know He ordained this moment. He’s calling to YOU.
Colossians 1:16-17: For in him [Jesus] all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things hold together.
Psalm 139:13-18: For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place, when I was woven together in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be. How precious to me are your thoughts, God! How vast is the sum of them! Were I to count them, they would outnumber the grains of sand.

They feast on the abundance of your house; you give them drink from your river of delights. For with you is the fountain of life; in your light we see light.
