Why I Rescue
“He has delivered us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son” (Colossians 1:13).
My darling, my delight, those birds that dance so high in the sky . . . I made. They sing and they swoop, and I rescue them when danger falls.
I rescue you, my darling.
I rescue you from mediocrity, from hesitation, from doubt and stunted curiosity. Imagine Me, looking at you, before you, clearing the way to rescue, so that you can rescue.
I rescue you so that, with Me, you can rescue.
I paid a price for you, and I would do it again. I would never stop rescuing. But I did it once, and it was complete. So that, yes, you can rescue now, daughter.
I call you to imagine possibilities of hope so that now you can rescue. I carry my name within you—my heart beating in time with yours. Go forth into openness with Me. Bring forth those daughters and sons who don’t know what rescue means.
I rescue you.
Now go tell them.

We were not meant to simply go through the motions in this life. We were made to see it, feel it—fully awake to what is happening outside and within us. If the emotions you feel ever scare you, let Holy Spirit minister to that place right now: “Cry out in the night, and I will hear you. Lay everything down and I will give you new and good things to pick up. Run with Me, rest with Me, adventure with Me, work with Me, create with Me. My life is inside you. My hope rests within you. My love fills you and equips you.” → Read more here and share it with a sister who needs courage to live fully awake.
We live in a stressful world, and sadly, there’s simply no getting around that fact. Every day offers new frustrations or trials ready to shake the peace we’ve so carefully cultivated through time with our heavenly Father. But God isn’t selective about when He gives us His peace—He can provide it in the quiet of our rooms or in the chaos of the day. What matters is that our hearts are open to Him. I think this is something many of us as women struggle with, which is why I put together this 3-day Loop devotional on combating stress by listening to Holy Spirit’s voice. If it blesses you—and I pray it does—consider sending the link to a friend.
Before you go … Here's a quote that I believe will strengthen your spirit for whatever today may hold: “I know it is a scary world out there. The headlines preach bad news every day, and they can be quite convincing. The enemy wants you to believe that light is waning and evil is ascending. It isn't. The enemy fell the day our Lord went to the cross. He is vanquished, a wounded lion trying to do all the harm he can before the story ends. He has no power that you do not give him, neither in this world nor the next. Do not let your fear of what you think he is doing become the tool by which he does it!” → From “He Worries Whom He Can’t Devour” at So We Speak.
