                               Time

I had a vision of a clock.  It was a plain, round, white one, the kind you 
have in schools and exam halls.  Almost immediately, as soon as I looked at 
the clock, the figures and hands vanished, leaving just a white, plain face. 
Then the Lord said,

"Why do you concern yourself with the passing of time?  Why do you hurry here 
and hurry there?  Am I not the maker, the creator?  Time cannot stop My hand 
and it will rise and move when My time is right.

My time is not the same as your time.  Nor are My thoughts the same as your 
thoughts.  I tell you again, do not worry about the passing of time and all 
that it will bring.  I have promised you that I will not give you more than 
you can bear, I have promised you that I will supply a way out, I have 
promised you that nothing can separate us, I have promised you My Holy 
Spirit who will say 'Here, this is the way, walk in it.'  I have promised 
you that when you seek Me you will find Me, I have promised you eternal 
life.  Why, then, do you worry at the passing of the moments?

Now is the moment, now is the time.  Be still.  Be still, and come, come, 
all you who are heavy laden and I will give you rest.  Come, come to Me, all 
you who are weary and cast your cares at My feet.  Be still and rest and I 
will strengthen you, I will lift you up on the wings of eagles and renew 
you.  I will close doors and open new ones.  I will heal your trembling 
heart.  I will dry your tears.  I will cloak you in peace.

Now is the time to come to Me with all that hinders you, distresses you, 
saddens and hurts you.  Leave your fears at My feet, your pain, your 
sickness, your weariness and let Me heal and mend.  Now is the time.  
Listen, sweet one, listen.  There is nothing, nothing, that is too small, 
too large, for Me to change, for Me to rearrange, for Me to mend.  Nothing. 

I have time.  Time for all your needs, all your words, all your days, I 
have time, My time I give you, beloved one.  Cast everything at My feet and 
rest, be still."
