Can you see me? Can you hear my heartbeat? Can you feel the thundering of my coming?
I am sending an army to you, an army of renewal and newness.
You are tired, my love, carrying a heavy burden of tasks.
Please let me assist you.
Others are coming to serve you, and you will be surrounded by my helpers on this day.
Let them carry some of your load. Let them be my hands.
Trust me to renew your body and restore your emotions, to do what you cannot.
Rest in me and my strength. I promise to never leave your side, dear one.
Today, let me carry you. Let me recharge you.
I am here.
“Yet I will rejoice in the LORD! I will be joyful in the God of my salvation! The Sovereign LORD is my strength! He makes me as surefooted as a deer, able to tread upon the heights.”
