Today’s Holy Spirit Love Note: When all of life seems to be tumbling down around you, I will help you stand. It’s time to explore failure. When things go “wrong”, it’s never what you think it is. And that word “wrong” is so subjective and open to interpretation depending upon one’s perspective. It’s always about perspective. The story changes everything! Yes, I understand that from your perspectiv...

Today’s Holy Spirit Love Note: Never stop dreaming with me. Your imagination is my playground and I want us to dream and create an incredible adventure together. I didn’t stop creating when I spoke the world into existence. Yes, all those many years ago from your perspective but just last week and right at this very moment from mine. Time is not what you think it is. I created the world and I am c...

Today’s Holy Spirit Love Note: Take a deep breathe. I am working and moving in all things for your good. There is a plan and a purpose for your life. You have a calling and that has not changed, regardless of today’s circumstances or challenges. Take me at my word and believe that I am working right now, in this very moment. Yes, take a deep breathe, smile, and look forward to seeing how I am work...

Today’s Holy Spirit Love Note: Let me help you love people where they’re at, taking them at their word and recognising that not everyone or everything is always as it appears to be. There so much more going on than you can see and this is never truer than when it comes to other people. You don’t need to second guess everyone or try and figure out who they are or what’s really going on with them. I...

Today’s Holy Spirit Love Note: Pull back the curtains of your heart and let the light of my love flood in! You thought you knew love. You didn’t even realise that there are areas where you’re not letting my love in but as you pull the curtains wide, you’ll be astonished as you see more light, more love. Yes, the curtains are a metaphor but what happens in the natural is a picture of what happens i...

Today’s Holy Spirit Love Note: I am relentless in my pursuit of you. Wooing you with my love, I’m whispering to your heart even right now. Every picture you’ve ever seen of never-giving-up love is a mere shadow of my love for you. You and all of humanity. I have an incredible capacity for love, one that you can barely fathom. Yes, I know I talk to you about love a lot but that’s how powerful and i...

Today’s Holy Spirit Love Note: You don’t need to know all the answers before you make your next move. You don’t need the whole plan mapped out. You don’t need to see the end before you begin. You simply need to begin with what you do know. Never forget that you’re co-labouring with one who does know, who does see the end from the beginning – but even I don’t have the whole plan mapped out. Yes, se...

Today’s Holy Spirit Love Note: I’m inviting you to lean back, let go, and rest in who I am to you. Picture the eagle gliding across the cloudless sky, held up by the warm currents, invisible to the naked eye but powerful nonetheless. As you move through today, I want you to become aware of being held, supported, lifted up by me, by my love. Likewise invisible to the naked eye but even more powerfu...

Today’s Holy Spirit Love Note: Why are you trying so hard to figure out all the answers to everything that’s on your mind right now? You have an incredible mind, I knew exactly what I was doing when I created it, and it’s time to let me renew your mind. Renewing your mind isn’t just about clearing out wonky thinking. You renew your mind when you spend time with me and allow me to direct your thoug...

Today’s Holy Spirit Love Note: What would it look like if we simply did life together, one thing at a time? You’re afraid of forgetting something or missing out on a brilliant opportunity but what if you trusted that I wouldn’t let that happen? Use the systems I’ve given you, yes, and then simply trust. Trust that I know what I’m doing. Trust that I am for you and not against you. Trust that I am...

Today’s Holy Spirit Love Note: Stop putting limits on how we do life together. How we’ve done life thus far, the things you’ve experienced to date, are not all there is. I am inviting you to explore with all of your senses. You think you don’t see well? It’s time to take every thought captive, make each one obedient to Christ, and let me renew your mind. Seeing is not believing. Believing is seein...

Today’s Holy Spirit Love Note: If I know the end from the beginning and can turn things around in a moment (I do and I can) why do you invest so much time in trying to figure out all the answers? I know you need to plan and take action and do the things I’m inviting you to do. You don’t want to sleepwalk through this one precious life and I respect that. But what if your planning and action and do...

Today’s Holy Spirit Love Note: I’m not holding out on you. Yes, there are areas where you need to grow but grow in me, grow in our relationship, grow in your understanding of just how loved, treasured and adored you are. I am the very best parent ever. You don’t need to approach me with fear. Perfect love casts out fear! Come to me as you’d come to your dad. Share with me the things you’re excited...

Today’s Holy Spirit Love Note: You have the mind of Christ. As such, you don’t have to be ruled by distractions and notifications. Not everything needs your attention right away. You can create boundaries and allow yourself to be unavailable, trusting that when you do so, the world will not fall apart. All of creation is held together by my words, you can’t break it that easily! I understand this...

Today’s Holy Spirit Love Note: Don’t be discouraged. Don’t lose heart. Keep on keeping on. Reject the lie that the things you’re doing have no consequence. Everything makes a difference because you’re doing it with me. Everything is impactful because we’re in this together. You don’t see all of the ways, all of the ripples, but just because you can’t see them doesn’t make them any less real. Let g...

Today’s Holy Spirit Love Note: Let me show you how to live day to day life from within the reality of my love because yes, I love you and I love every single person you do life with today who doesn’t yet let me love them. You love them and my love in you flows to them, even when they don’t realise or see it. You sense an urgency to this but that’s simply because I don’t want another day to go by w...

Today’s Holy Spirit Love Note: It’s all about love. It’s always been about love. Love in its purest, most honest and unconditional form. Not the love you have for your favourite flavour of ice-cream or the show you enjoy watching on telly. That’s not how I love you. My love is something else entirely. Agape. If you really knew just how loved you are, it would change everything. This whole world is...

Today’s Holy Spirit Love Note: Lift up your eyes to the hills. Where does your help come from? Your help comes me, the Maker of heaven and earth. You are partnering today with the One who spoke the stars into being, the One who pays so much attention to you, each and every hair on your head is numbered, the One who knows what you’re going to say before you even finish formulating the thought in yo...

Today’s Holy Spirit Love Note: Look what happens when you allow yourself to rest with and in me! What do you mean you haven’t rested in me yet? Of course you have! Resting isn’t all about sitting still and doing nothing. You can rest in me when you’re walking outside. You can rest in me when you’re working. You can rest in me when you’re sleeping too of course but I need you to realise that “rest”...

Today’s Holy Spirit Love Note: Life with me doesn’t need to be complicated or overwhelming. Yes, there are seasons when I challenge you and invite you to stretch. There are seasons when you feel like you have so many things to do and the list is long! But in all these things, in every season, the invitation is the same … with me. And just because I’m nudging you into something new doesn’t mean you...

Today’s Holy Spirit Love Note: Some people are going to hear about the way we do life together and they’re going to think it’s a bit weird. Even people who you’d expect to “get it” won’t and when that happens you have a choice. You can either embrace what we have, take ownership of the weird and delight in the beauty of our life together or you can let the words of others wound you and cause you t...

Today’s Holy Spirit Love Note: Stop striving and instead trust the still, small voice. I rarely show up in the thunder or the fire, although I can if the situation necessitates it but I’m here to do life with you, to have a relationship with you. Consider someone in your life who you care about very much. How intimate would you feel if all your conversations with them were shouted very loudly from...

Today’s Holy Spirit Love Note: Never forget that the outcome is on me. Practice, show up, lean in and move as I nudge, and then take a deep breath and let go. Fall back into who I am and every way that I am moving. And be bold because I am with you with every step of the way. Boldness with me and in me is not arrogance. This is a boldness that comes simply from knowing Whose you are, in Whose powe...

Today’s Holy Spirit Love Note: When you think you can’t hear me, when you think you don’t know what I’m saying, ask me what you do know, what you can hear. What are those things that I’ve whispered to you that never change, never stop being true? Love. Kindness. Compassion. Start there and you will not go wrong. Is it possible that you’re making things harder for yourself than they need to be? Is...

Today’s Holy Spirit Love Note: You can do anything that I’ve called you to do – but I’m not asking you to do every thing. You will see great and wonderful things, experience the miraculous in your day, and I’ve given you incredible strength  – but not every burden is yours to carry. Yes, I’ve given you great capacity – but capacity for the things that are yours to play with. Don’t start picking up...
