Walk With Me
Copyright (c) 2007-2010 Joyce C. Lock
My Dearest Child,
I am here, in this very room. When you sense my presence, and even when you don't, I am here.
Do not be concerned about the things that are happening to you. They are not evidence of my disappointment, in any way.
I have seen and know your heart, and am very proud of you.
You are among my chosen. Many are called, but few are hand-picked by me. And I am here, by your side, every step of the way.
Worldly problems are not your destiny. Though, they are a means for you to learn to walk with me, moment by moment.
Others have not been able to help you because I want you to look to me.
You need not know when, and you need not know how, but 'day by day', I will supply your every need. Don't worry about tomorrow, as I will be the same God who meets your need today; and all your tomorrows will be provided for.
You might imagine yourself on a foreign mission field, having gone with empty pockets and empty hands. Yet, there is nothing to fear, as I am the one who fills your pockets, and your hands, each and every day, so that you can serve without reservation, in all I call you to do. I am your provider, and I am faithful.
All I want of you is to walk with me, talk with me. When I lay something on your heart to do, in ministry, do that. When I tell you to wait on me, do that. When you have a question, just ask. I'll tell you the next step to take.
When you're fearful, call on me. Ask for a promise, or some confirmation that I am still for you. I will answer.
When you don't know what to do, even in the simple things, I care about all your needs. In fact, especially, ask me about the little things. If you need a specific tool for a repair around your house, let me know and I'll give you an idea of something that will work. When you go shopping, I'll confirm when it is a good purchase. I want to dwell with you, so feel free to take me with you, always.
Then, as you begin to experience my faithfulness, share your testimony of what I am doing in your life; as others may want to walk with me, too.
I am preparing you for greatness in my Kingdom. Not only will you be able to teach others how to rise above their problems, but you will become more and more fearless to trust me in all things. For the magnitude of your calling requires it. You will be steady, strong, and sure in my might; and powerful against all evil, as you are my child and a joint heir with Jesus.
I love you. Please come, walk with me.
Your Heavenly Father

If you knew you were going to stand before God, today (not in
judgment, but meeting your very best friend) ... is there a gift
you would like to present Him with? Do you plan to meet Him empty
handed? Maybe you have a gift for God already. Perhaps, you never
thought about it and would like to.

If you are like me you may not care to consider Wikipedia's
explanation. But, if spelling 'Christmas' as 'xmas' is your
preference, you might appreciate knowing how the 'X' in

Within Christian circles is known the term 'legalism'. We know
it when we see it, couldn't possibly be guilty of it, but know
someone who is. When pressed to define it, the bottom line
answer is, 'Not what we're doing.'

Have you ever found yourself in a position where, if you just
keep your mouth shut, you will receive the credit? Perhaps you
observe the keys in another's car. Maybe you're in a different
town where no one would notice you visiting the local bar. Or,
you're on vacation, at the beach, where church members will
never see how you dress.

Your ever-loving presence. I'll walk with You, talk with you,
and glean upon Your every word; be ready to go, ready to stay,
and bask in the fullness of Your day.

For centuries, spiritual sages have told short stories to
enlighten and inspire others. Counting the stories and parables
that Jesus and the Buddhas have told might take a lifetime, and
it would probably take several lifetimes to fully integrate the

In previous eras, the nature of sacred marriage was connected
with duty, or related to practical necessities. Nowadays, as
human relationships transform and become more conscious, the
nature of sacred marriage enters a whole new domain of
possibility, that is related to two souls who become One in God,
without releasing their individuality or unique identities.

This is a time of monumental transition for our world, and each
of our lives is being affected by the larger planetary
transformations that are happening. Many of us who are on a
spiritual path and living a spiritual life feel dismayed by the
great intensity that is manifesting in our lives, our
relationships, and even our physical bodies.

God's love as a healing presence in the world is growing
stronger daily. Many people are not yet able to perceive this
growing presence of light, because there also exists at this time
a thick cloud of negative energy that is surrounding the Earth.
This acts to obscure both the perception and the consciousness of
people, and to create feelings of isolation and despair.

When we begin to awaken spiritually, we ask 'why am I here?',
and 'for what purpose did God create me?' For some, an inner
understanding of divine soul purpose emerges relatively early in
the spiritual journey. For others, knowledge of soul purpose
eludes our human embodied self for quite a long time,
necessitating a period of 'walking in the desert' with little
apparent support. God created you so carefully, and uniquely
for the sacred purpose you embody.

The cross has broad significance as a marker of not only
religion, but also of cultural identity. This article discusses
the ancient symbolism and history of the Celtic cross, which
incorporates Pagan views, in contrast to the Latin cross, which
represent the life of Christ. With the inclusion of the simple
circle, the Celtic cross embodies symbolically the unification of
opposites and balance.

When you look into the eyes of a child, it doesn't take a
special kind of person to see their innocence, imagination and
wonder. Every child, no matter what part of the world they come

irrational fears.

Asia according to archeological fossil records. Spanish

Sumerian tablets record the use and consumption of figs in 2500
BC.

When growing up, if there was a sibling dispute, mom had the
perfect solution. She would refuse to choose. Instead, mom
would bang our heads together. She'd say that it takes two to
fight ~ so we both got it. Now, that really hurt! But, it
worked, every time. We'd hush, immediately. Though we didn't
like it, we didn't dare say another word.
