I am a God who gives and gives and gives.
When I died for you on the cross, I held back
nothing; I poured out My Life as a drink offering.
Because giving is inherent in My nature, I search for people who are able to receive in full measure.
To increase your intimacy with Me, the two traits you need the most are receptivity and attentiveness.
Receptivity is the opening up your innermost being to be filled with My abundant riches.
Attentiveness is directing your gaze to Me, searching for Me in all your moments.
It is possible to stay your mind on Me, as the prophet Isaiah wrote.
Through such attentiveness you receive a glorious gift: My perfect Peace.
You will keep him in perfect peace
whose mind is stayed on you,
because he trusts in you.
--Isaiah 26:3
Peace I leave with you; My peace I give you...
do not let your hearts be troubled
and do not be afraid.
--John 14:27
I have told you these things so that in Me
you may have peace.
In this world you will have trouble.
But take heart!
I have overcome the world.
--John 16:33
