| BLESSED |

| I am so blessed, Lord, that I can hardly believe Your goodness to me. Why would You, a righteous God, shower me, of all people, with such blessings? You are gracious and generous beyond my puny little belief. Thank You for loving me. |

| It gives Me such joy to give to you and to bless you. You know the pleasure that it gives you to give to your children. My pleasure is far greater and accompanied by the power to give from the endless resource of Myself. I love to give. I love to bless. I love, more than these, to walk in honest fellowship with you and share My heart with you. I am delighted when you share your heart with Me. It doesn't matter whether you are sharing joy or sorrow, anger or pain, gratitude or requests. I love you. Do not hesitate to tell Me your needs, your wants, and your dreams. I am the One Who has placed them there in their original design, and I alone am able to purify and fulfill them. Your dreams are from Me and are meant to be brought to Me at the cross, crucified there, and resurrected to all that I purposed and more than you hoped. Do not listen to the voice of mediocrity that tempts you to believe that there is no use in reaching higher, going deeper, or pursuing Me to a greater degree. That voice comes from the enemy of your soul trying to lull you to sleep in order to rob your inheritance. The inheritance of My child is to rise up and be strong, to be of good courage, to seek My face continually, to dwell in My presence, to watch at My gates. My child is to ask and receive, to receive and then give, to hunger yet be fed with honey from the rock, to thirst yet be a channel of living water. There is so much more available to you than you will be able to experience, for to experience it all would consume you. Yet it is all here, in Me, for you. It will take an eternity, yet I will not be in the least diminished as you receive from Me. I am endless in every way, so take freely from Me. Enjoy Me, and love Me, and know that I am not stingy or cruel. I am full of mercy, grace, and love for you. I have told you before that faith, hope, and love remain, and the greatest of these is love. I did not say that to diminish faith and hope, but I want you to see that love is the culmination of the other two. There must first be faith that I am good and kind. That faith will bring hope, and the two together will result in love; love both for Me and for others. They must all be at work in order for My love to reach the world around you by living through you. Trust Me even more. Let your hopes soar. Fall in love with Me again, and hold out that hope and love to others. |
