Move With Me Now
“In him you also, when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and believed in him, were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit, who is the guarantee of our inheritance until we acquire possession of it, to the praise of his glory” (Ephesians 1:13-14).
I am moving. I am moving in you and I won’t ever stop. You can’t stop Me, and that’s a promise for you, my girl. I pursue you and I never tire and I fight on behalf of your heart—your complete self—the full you I created and have always designed you to be. I’m not done with you yet, my darling.
Don’t lose hope. Hang tightly to my promises, the Word-come-down who breathes peace to you and guides you along the rocky paths. I have a way for you. I have a place for you to lay your head and know you are seen and know you are wanted and desired.
I have made you to be loved. I have made you to give Me glory. I have made you to receive my promises and my good plans—and to follow the path so that others may see the path and have the hope that is yours, too.
Behold Me, my love. Behold Me and never be the same. Behold Me and stop making excuses for not measuring up and being tired and waiting for things to get better before you can surrender to Me fully. What is the road map, my darling? What is the road map to Me?
Simple.
He is beautiful. And you know Him. You know His name.
So watch how He moves. Heed the Spirit I leave with you. Know you are never alone . . . For I want you to live like you know who I am. And I want you to live like you know who you are. And I want you to live like you know this life I’ve given you is for the purpose of you being blessed by my love.
My love is for you. I am for you. Move with Me now. See Me moving and move with Me now. This is what you were meant, always, to do.

“We must separate the doing from the being. Who you are is not what you do. What you are able to do—and the freedom that comes from doing what I ask you to do—in alignment with Me, develops you in your maturity. It grows you. Your soul recognizes My voice. I breathed spirit in you, and your soul recognizes its maker.” How do you feel when you read that? Relieved? Skeptical? Frustrated? Confused? Start here: Tell him. Trust that your emotions are not too scary or scandalous for Him to handle. To go deeper, I encourage you to read the full message—and perhaps share it with a friend who needs to hear this, too.
“Some people are obsessed with French cooking, others with Pokémon cards. God has an apparent affinity for people in crisis, men and women flailing at the end of their ropes. He’s drawn to the weak and frazzled. No one roots for the overwhelmed like our Father.” This quote, and the article it came from, makes me want to pump my fist in the air and shout, “Yes!” Because it’s true—Jesus isn’t put off by our neediness and overwhelm. He runs to it. He can’t help but long to rush to our aid. With Him, we can get through this day. With Him, we can find a home for our weather-worn emotions. With Him …
Few things can make us as miserable as trying to control everything. We think we’re chasing happiness when, really, we’re grasping at something that doesn’t exist—something that runs through our fingers like loose sand. We can’t control anything, not really. Ultimately, that responsibility rests in God’s hands alone. Realizing this—and better yet, embracing it—will give us more peace than we could imagine. I was recently reminded of this while reading this moving article by Shannon Popkin on surrendered motherhood.
