Today, my wife stopped me before I went out for my morning walk and shared the following devotional piece with me that she had received from a friend. I don’t know who the author is, but her words were such a true reflection of my own desire and my prayers for everyone I know that I thought I would just pass it on as a View from My Place, expressed through the words of another. May it bless you as much as it blessed me – or even more, if that is possible.
“Remain in Me, and I will remain in you…” John 15:4
Before you were anything to anyone, you were My daughter. Before you were his wife, their mother, their leader, or their daughter or sister, you were My daughter. I want you to stay right there where it’s just you and Me. Stay there where I am the one caring for you, tending to you and loving on you. Before you entered this world, it was just you and Me. And when you die, it will be just you and Me. Even now, in the Spirit, it’s just you and Me. Father and daughter. You can have a million people to lead, a thousand responsibilities to tend to, and a family to care for, but you have only one expectation from Me, and that is to remain in Me and I in you. I will minister sweet rest to your soul and give you peace that far surpasses anything your mind can comprehend. I will help you remember the time in your life when it was just the two of us. I will take you back to the time when you enjoyed a simple life without so many cares. And you will remain there in your heart where it’s just the two of us. You won’t abandon your responsibilities; you will tend to them with Me. You won’t run from your problems; you will face them with Me. You won’t live weighed down with other people’s worries and concerns, you will help point them to Me. This is how you live with Me. This is how you abide in Me and let My words abide in you. From that place, ask for whatever your heart’s desire and it will be done for you. I will perform miracle after miracle for you, My daughter. The only thing I want you to do is stay right there in that place in your heart where it’s just the two of us. Stay right there.
