Breathe. Sweet child, breathe.

“Do not call to mind the former things; pay no attention to the things of old. Behold, I am about to do something new; even now it is coming. Do you not see it? Indeed, I will make a way in the wilderness and streams in the desert.” Isaiah 43:18-19

I know you think you are not going to make it; I hear you crying at this very moment; ‘God, help me, help me. Help me, I can’t!’ I am crying along with you. I am holding you. I am the God who is healing you. As you cannot see how you are going to make it to the afternoon, I hold it all.

And I hold you. I hold you in the same Hand that your name is carved into. My palm is the very same hand that is holding you. I am stripping you from the baggage that is grounding you, binding you. I have to clear this off and out of you to make room for Me to bring complete healing and restoration in this.

When it hurts and you are choking on your own tears, I am there. I am there softly whispering to you to take a deep breath. Just breathe, My daughter. Don’t wish this pain away. Don’t run from it. The feelings you cannot bare and deal with, surrender them to Me.

Let me hold you and allow this pain to grow you; allowing this will heal you. And when My healing oil anoints you, you will be unstoppable. You will praise Me with a breath of joy, peace and gratitude, for with Me, you will make it. You will make it to the next the day, the next season, and to the next door I have for you.

Leave the old baggage, the balls and chains of hurt and rejection at the old door; behold, I am doing a new thing!
