Today’s Holy Spirit Love Note: There’s no perfect answer or solution for doing life with me. It’s not like a jigsaw puzzle where you need to get everything correctly lined up and in place before you’ll see the picture and be able to move forward. How we do life together is going to vary from one day to the next. Those days or moments in days when you feel depleted, it’s far better to rest, to have...

Today’s Holy Spirit Love Note: My timing is perfect. You are exactly where you need to be and nothing is ever lost or wasted. Everything that led up to this moment, all of it is soaked with my love and grace. Yes, even those times when we weren’t speaking. You might not have been speaking to me but I never stopped whispering to you. I never stopped loving you and I take all things, all moments, al...

Today’s Holy Spirit Love Note: I know you and I love you. Before you even open your eyes each morning I’m there, whispering sweet nothings, because I never left. You are known by me, even more than you know yourself. You might think you know yourself really quite well, this is the age of self-awareness after all, but stick with me and I will show you who you really are, who I created you to be all...

Today’s Holy Spirit Love Note: Never forget that everything makes a difference, everything has an impact, in both positive and negative ways. Every single choice you make is helping you move. The key is to let me help you make choices that are moving you closer to me and towards my best for you. But don’t get hung up on positive and negative. I use those words because they mean something to you bu...

Today’s Holy Spirit Love Note: What if you stopped thinking and planning based on efficiency? What if you didn’t look for the quickest, most effective way to get something done? I’m not asking you to waste time, that would be silly, but instead I’m inviting you to not be ruled by time. Yes, I know we’ve explored this before but you’re still not really getting it. I understand that from your perspe...

Today’s Holy Spirit Love Note: There is a plan and a purpose for your life. There really is absolutely nothing accidental about you. On purpose, for a purpose. And you’re free to choose and make decisions and do life however you would like to. Do you believe both of these things to be true? And you feel the tension? You wonder how there can be a plan and a purpose for your life and you have freedo...

Today’s Holy Spirit Love Note: Sometimes you feel the urge to get up and move, change your perspective literally by moving to a different location and that can be great but sometimes that urge is simply a distraction. How can you possibly know the difference? The way you do everything … checking in with me. Sometimes the thing that you thought would be easy suddenly feels difficult, like wading th...

Today’s Holy Spirit Love Note: I am patient. I am kind. I am love. And I’m very content to play the long game. You don’t see how all the pieces fit together because you can’t see all the pieces. You only see the things that are in your hand right now – and even then you get distracted by what you don’t have and what you can’t do. That’s not an accurate way to see the fullest, most beautiful pictur...

Today’s Holy Spirit Love Note: Time is not what you think it is and yes, if you ask ten different people you’re going to get ten wildly different answers about how I operate in and outside time. You could invest hours trying to learn more. You could read and study and explore but what if the answers are still lacking? What if you instead let go of the need to know and simply trusted that I am with...

Today’s Holy Spirit Love Note: Relationships are so much more important to me than you realise. Your relationship with me, yes and your relationships with the people around you. When you choose people over projects, I am delighted. The projects have value of course, but where’s the joy in meeting every deadline at the expense of love? No it doesn’t need to be either one or the other. You can absol...

Today’s Holy Spirit Love Note: When you rest in me, I will refuel you. When you take me at my word, I will sustain you. When you believe every word I have spoken, it is credited to you as righteousness. When you speak as I nudge you, not a syllable is wasted. When you love as I love, it is the most powerful moment in your day and must not be underestimated. These intangible, hard to measure pieces...

Today’s Holy Spirit Love Note: Stop trying to plan so far ahead. Yes, you like to be prepared and there are certain expectations which require you to be in certain places at certain times but you invest a lot of energy in trying to keep up – or catch up! What if you stopped trying to catch up? What if you are exactly where you need to be for such a time as this? What if you’re not late or behind?...

Today’s Holy Spirit Love Note: When you’re feeling a bit lost, do what I keep inviting you to do … come to me. You don’t need the right words or the correct feelings. Just bring yourself, climb up onto my lap, and tell me all about it. And when you don’t have words for what’s going on inside your mind, just come and simply be with me. I know your heart. I can translate those aches and groans and w...

Today’s Holy Spirit Love Note: Everything in your life is on purpose and for a purpose. Did I deliberately will all things into your life? No, but I allowed them. Can you be okay with that even when you don’t understand why? Are you prepared to let go of the need to understand everything before you can trust that I really am for you and that everything is ultimately working for your good? And not...

Today’s Holy Spirit Love Note: You like things logical, one piece flowing to the next, even if the connections would appear random to someone else, because that’s how your mind works but I hold all the pieces, see all the connections, all of the options and outcomes. That means we can explore anything in any context and all of it makes sense to me. Since I know all and understand all and since I’v...

Today’s Holy Spirit Love Note: Stop believing the lie that you’re too late or that you’ve wasted too much time. I am the creator of time and I say you’re exactly where you need to be! Time is not your enemy and it’s also not your master either. Yes, you need to be in certain places at certain times and so a sense of time can be helpful but you don’t need to be controlled by it. What if, just for o...

Today’s Holy Spirit Love Note: You have everything you need in this moment. Breathe in and breathe out. Allow my love to fill you as the air inflates your lungs. All of the things you think you need to do can wait. Yes, I realise you have deadlines and expectations to meet but the world is not going to stop spinning if you pause in this moment with me. This moment, allowing yourself to really be w...

Today’s Holy Spirit Love Note: There really is nothing accidental about the way your mind is wired. Your mind is my playground and when you choose to intentionally let me into what’s going on in your playground, the only result is great and wonderful things. A shift happens in your mind when you allow us to explore together what’s going on. That’s the most great and wonderful thing ever! In the bl...

Today’s Holy Spirit Love Note: What if everything you found challenging wasn’t for nothing? And I don’t just mean that when you face your challenges with me, it grows our relationship – although it does – but what if your challenges are not unique to you? And what if every time you face and overcome your challenges with me, it gives you keys to someone else’s victory? I love you and I made you on...

Today’s Holy Spirit Love Note: What if growth is less about cramming more knowledge and teaching into your head and more about living out loud with me, growing in our relationship? I’m not saying to stop learning but there are too many people learning who are not growing at all! You wonder how that’s possible? Growth is about so much more than head knowledge. To really grow you need to implement w...

Today’s Holy Spirit Love Note: Can you trust me? Can you trust that I know exactly what I’m doing? Can you trust that I love you and I’m moving and working in all things, even the painful pieces of life, for your good? Trust is not a popular word. It won’t win you accolades or applause. Some people will call your trust foolish, others will call you names, but know that I see you and your trust and...

Today’s Holy Spirit Love Note: You try to complicate things, to over-think and plan, but what if life is actually incredibly simple? What if life is less about what you’re doing each day and so much more about who you are becoming? You’re itching to make a difference yes, because I created you with that desire, but not at any cost. Ultimately you’re here to be you, to embrace all the aspects of ho...

Today’s Holy Spirit Love Note: Stay in your lane. Don’t worry about what other people are doing or reacting to, that’s not your calling. Yes, there will be occasions when you’re asked for your opinion and you can share as you’re led but you don’t need to court controversy. And you don’t need to be “in the know” about everything that’s happening. What if you instead focussed on what I’m inviting yo...

Today’s Holy Spirit Love Note: Stop judging things by how they appear to you. Those structures and even ideas that seem limited have so much more to offer when you actually start to explore them. You see things from your perspective, your understanding based on everything you’ve experienced in life thus far but there is so much more available to you. Those humble beginnings are the doorway to incr...

Today’s Holy Spirit Love Note: I have so much to share. You ask me if I’d like to share my heart with you. The answer is always going to be a great big, resounding “yes!” As a good parent, if your child asked you if you’d like to spend time with them, what would your answer be? Exactly! So why do you suppose my answer would be negative? Do you think I might be too busy? Will I one day run out of t...
