The Gift of Suffering

Remember the old saying, “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder?” Likewise, suffering is in the eye of the beholder. Therefore give thanks for suffering. It is my tool. I use it to reshape the human spirit. I use it to bring those who are lost into my Arms. I use it to bring Truth to those who are deceived. I use it to set prisoners of self-directed lives free. I use it to keep My own sheep straining to hear My Voice despite distractions. I use it to encourage My friends to become more intimate with Me. I use it to draw out faith like one would draw water from a glass with a straw. I use it to open blind eyes and deaf ears. Psalm 119:67 Before I was afflicted I went astray, but now Your word do I keep [hearing, receiving, loving, and obeying it].

I Am lovesick for you

When you fight distractions and allurements to spend time with Me, My heart sings. When you turn all others out of your heart to make room for Me, I Am in ecstasy. I dance over you every time you turn down anything to be with Me. You thrill My Heart. You are on My mind. I Am lovesick for you. Song of Sol 4:9 “You have made my heart beat faster, my sister, my bride; You have made my heart beat faster with a single glance of your eyes, With a single strand of your necklace. 10 “How beautiful is your love, my sister, my bride! How much better is your love than wine, And the fragrance of your oils Than all kinds of spices!

Opening the Window of Your Soul

There is no rest for those who live and sleep with strangers and remain apart from Us. Strangers are all dark influences, distractions, and enticements to your soul. How can you enter into true rest, when you leave the window to your soul open to the dark storms of wickedness, busyness, and dark thoughts, which are the darts of the enemy? I want you to enter into My rest. I want you to live in the Sabbath Day of My peace. James 1:14 But each one is tempted when by his own evil desires he is lured away and enticed. 15 Then after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and when sin is fully grown, it gives birth to death. Galatians 5:16 But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. 17 For the desires of the flesh are against the Spirit, and the desires of the Spirit are against the flesh, for these are opposed to each other, to keep you from doing the things you want to do. 18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. 19 Now the works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality, 20 idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, divisions, 21 envy, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. 24A nd those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. 25 If we live by the Spirit, let us also keep in step with the Spirit. 26 Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.
