God our Father speaks prophecy:

A peace I bring to you, my peace I give unto you. All who rest in me are covered in my peace. Where is your heart? Is it resting in me, or is it lost in worldly pursuits or personal gain? Turn your heart to me my beloved, and I will fill it with peace and love.

All I have and all I am is good, light and prosperity. All I give to you my children is good. There is no agenda, no hidden expectations, nor secret motives in me. I only love because I am love.

I have given you of my spirit. A spirit of truth in you to share with others. Go ye into all the world and give my love, give good news, good encouragement and walk in my peace as you go.

Rescue the lost and broken hearted and pour out my love upon them. See the glory of your God bring deliverance and freedom to all who sit in darkness. It is time, now is the day!

Yes we can give God’s love and goodness to others. It is so easy to be lured into speaking gossip and negatives about others. Let’s rise above those conversations and keep our Father God as the subject and focus. He is only good. When we speak of Him and for Him we plant good ideas and good seeds of life and love that can grow and prosper into fruitful trees.

Let’s leave the criticism and condemnation of ourselves and others behind and build unity on the truth today by speaking good words.

An Action Item

Call someone who needs encouragement and tell them about all of the good qualities you see in them. Share what a blessing they are to you and others, and build your connection with them. Open your heart in love and service to God and speak truth in love today.
