Let Me fill your life with joy this morning, beloved one! True, unadulterated joy. The joy of knowing you are loved and protected by the Ruler of the universe Who so lovingly planned and created you.

I can fill your soul to the brim with My peace and love. I can soothe your soul, aching though it may be, with tenderness and mercy. I can give you hope again for the future. I can gather you into My arms and hold you until your fears subside and I can tell you the truths from My Word that will encourage you and give you purpose.

“Yes!”, you say, “I want all of those things.” They are there but for the taking, dear one. I long to grant you this and so much more!

Just ask. Just trust. Just believe. 

You can’t be more loved than you are right now. Reach out your hand. Let Me take it in Mine.

You are ok now, for you are with Me. You are loved so very, very much.

Psalms 13:5-6, New King James Version:

“But I have trusted in Your mercy; My heart shall rejoice in Your salvation. I will sing to the Lord, Because He has dealt bountifully with me.”

Dear child of Mine, you are confused and worried today. Don’t you know to let Me carry your load? 

I stand waiting, ready to help you.

I have everything in My hands: you, all of your problems, all the good you have ever done, all the mistakes you have made. 

Let Me take care of you and I will make everything work out for good.

Where are you in the vision I have given you? Do you steadfastly work towards that goal?  Never doubt that together we can accomplish it. 

I will never let you down, dear one. Take My hand.

Romans 8:28-29, New King James Version:

“And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren.”

How I long to gather My children unto Me, as a mother hen gathers her little chicks, to protect them from the evil one, and make their path happy and safe!

Come to Me in the freshness of the morning. I await you, and look forward to this time together every day.  

Where is your mind now? Is it struggling to concentrate on learning of Me? As much as it hurts Me, I chose to give everyone free will, and the devil has made this morning connection with Me difficult because he knows it’s vital importance. He does it through making your days packed with busyness, and when you do come to Me, he makes it seem boring compared to the enticements of the world.

But there is nothing more precious and nothing more important than connecting with Me at the beginning of your day.

When you do, I arm you with strength to face the day, and with power over the enemy who constantly tries to sever our connection. He knows how strong it can be, and it threatens him. 

He has absolutely no power where I am asked to be involved.

Come to Me, child. Let Me gather you under My wings where you will find peace and strength.

Luke 13:34, New King James Version:

““O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the one who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, but you were not willing!”

Come to Me, you who are heavy-laden, and I will give you rest. How many times have you heard that, yet they were just words in your ears?

The joy I feel when you come to Me is indescribable.  

I see you so worried, so upset, yet all you need to do is come to Me and lay your burdens, and yourself, at My feet and I will carry the load for you. I will pick you up in My arms and carry you to a place where you will feel safe and warm. 

Resting in My arms, all your cares will melt away.

Come to Me now, dear one. I am always waiting, always near.

Matthew 11:28, New King James Version:

“Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.”

Oh, dear child of Mine, you are feeling lost today. Not from me, but from the situations in this world. 

Do not let them overwhelm you. One day you will understand why everything happened. Some people make choices apart from Me with disastrous consequences. Others have given their life to Me and you don’t understand why I don’t make their life easy.

Please trust Me, dear one. I know the best. When you come to understand, you will concur that all My decisions brought good.  

Through pain, through loss, through hardship, I WAS ALWAYS THERE.

I will never leave your side, for you are the love of My life, for whom My heart sings.  

Trust Me.

Hosea 10:12, New King James Version:

“Sow for yourselves righteousness; Reap in mercy; Break up your fallow ground, for it is time to seek the Lord till He comes and rains righteousness on you.”

Each day you awake from sleep is a new start. How creation sings My praise in the morning as the sun creeps up over the horizon! Every living creature knows of Me and thanks Me for their very existence.

Do you? Don’t be so busy that you fail to spend that precious morning time with Me. It will determine the outcome of your day.  

Look forward to it. I watch over you in the night and I watch over you when you are awake.  I would be so happy if your first thoughts were of Me, talking to Me, asking Me to continue keeping you and your family safe during the day, guiding you, helping you to make the right decisions, helping you to say the right words in moments of stress.

You can have this lifeline to Me if you just ask for it. I want this type of relationship with you so much that I sent My Son to die alone on a cross. Words can’t describe it, but don’t you see?

The Lover of your soul awaits, dear one. Just ask. I long to hear your words to Me in the morning, or any time.

Come home to My love. Come home to peace. Just spend time with Me.

Proverbs 8:17, Nee King James Version:

“I love those who love me, And those who seek me diligently will find me.”

Oh, My child, you are here with Me now, restoring your soul, finding strength and joy in our communion. There is so much I want to share with you, so much I want you to learn.

Come and see that I am good, that I love you more than anything you can ever imagine.  Feel the joy of completeness in Me, for in that you will have true peace and happiness.

I am never farther away than the whisper of My name. At your slightest cry all Heaven can come to your aid.  

There is power in our connection, beloved. Use it for good. Use it for faith.

And know….really, really know that I am here now beside you, guiding you. 

Just ask.

James 5:16, New King James Version:

“Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.”

Close your eyes and dream of Me. Let Me take you to far away places where just you and I abide.

Imagine Jesus’ resurrection from the grave. What inexpressible joy there was, like no other ever! Those days without Him were the darkest days ever.

Yet, when He arose from the tomb, so full of triumph, how we all rejoiced!!

The greatest sacrifice ever to be made was over. The separation from My Beloved Son was ended! If only you could have seen Him kneeling at My feet when he returned!

What love was poured out by Him and I for you!  

Do not reject it, dear one. He withstood all glory and comfort to die a horrible death, separated from Me to atone for your sin. 

And I endured the horrible pain of knowing I could prevent My Son from this pain and abandonment. Yet for you, I did nothing but watch.

Talk to Him now, thanking Him for this ultimate gift. Think of it often in prayer, remembering, and let it help you to understand even just a little of the love We have for you.

John 17:19, New King James Version:

“And for their sakes I sanctify Myself, that they also may be sanctified by the truth.”

Are you Mine? Have you heard My voice? Yes, because you are learning how to listen.

I have always been close, desiring this nearness to you, but you have not tried to hear Me.

Perhaps it wasn’t as possible because the television or loud music was constantly blaring, or you were consumed with worry about your circumstances.

Come away to Me, beloved. Come to the still quietness of My presence. Sit at My feet and learn of Me. 

I love you with an everlasting love. That means I loved you before the foundation of the world, before you were born, throughout all your life, and even after you die.  I hold you in the palm of My hand with such love. 

You are Mine, blessed one. I have chosen you.  

Take My hand. Come to Me and learn of Me.

Isaiah 30:15, New King James Version:

“For thus says the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel: “In returning and rest you shall be saved; In quietness and confidence shall be your strength.” 

Oh, how beautiful the morning of your soul! The sweet urgings of My presence that come to you when you first wake up.

Listen to them, dear one.  

Talk to Me before you get out of bed. Give your day over to Me, your plans over to Me, so that we will face each and every challenge together, in My perfect plan.

What is the perfect plan? Your daily walk with Me, letting Me lead you through life. Living in Me will lead to joy you have not felt before….the joy of perfect love surrounding you always.  

Yes, you will slip, but I will be there to catch you. I am always near. 

Face today with courage, dear one. I have so much in store for you!!

Lamentations 3:25-26, New King James Version:

“The Lord is good to those who wait for Him, to the soul who seeks Him. It is good that one should hope and wait quietly for the salvation of the Lord.”
