“God Listens to the Prayers of a Repentant Heart”

Hello Dear Ones,

   As you go through each day I, you’re Jesus, desire that your hearts would seek after Me, learn My truth and desire to read My living Word. This is how your hearts are fed and nourished so you can face any trial or difficulty and bless others with Christ like love. Let the words from My heart reach deep into your heart and heal, purify and make whole the treasure of who you are, your heart.

  If you are born again, I am always with you in your heart through My Holy Spirit. Every time you sin in any way My Holy Spirit will convict you. If your heart is right with Me you will respond and come before Me and repent immediately, or as soon as you realize that you have sinned. If you don’t respond I will begin to seem distant to you and your prayers will seem to go unnoticed. My grace and mercy is abundantly great and if your repentance is genuine, I will always be gracious with you and forgive you. I desire that you, as My children, would always be aware of your behavior before God and Man. The more you are alert and aware of your behavior daily, the more God can work in your life and others will desire to know Me through you. As you continue to follow Me you will become more and more holy as I am holy. I am here to help you every step of the way.

   Until the day I return you will make mistakes and you will sin. That is why I came to earth so there would be forgiveness of sins. Always desire and ask for sensitivity to My Holy Spirit's correction and you will be quick to repent and stay in a right relationship with Me. There should be a concern if you are not sensing My Holy Spirit in anyway. Draw closer to Me by reading My Word, spend time with Me there, learn about Me and what I say to you there. This will eventually refresh your heart and soul to know right from wrong and respond when you do any wrong. As you and I develop a closer walk together you will notice My Spirit working in you in many ways including prayer. There is nothing more powerful than the prayers of My Children.

   As your love for Me grows and you desire to be more like Me you will be more attuned to how you respond to outside influences. You will see the difference between right and wrong behaviors so you can make better choices about your own behavior as you grow in Me. When you walk daily obedient to Me others will see and desire to know Me too. It is My desire for all who know Me to want to be like Me. The blessings that accompany someone who walks with Me everyday are numerous and unique. You will become sanctified unto Me and you will be of great use for My Kingdom. But you cannot do this on your own. This is a gift from Me and you need Me to help you make it through every day. So turn to Me and trust Me with everything.

   “Come and listen, all you who fear God; let me tell you what he has done for me. I cried out to him with my mouth; His praise was on my tongue. If I had cherished sin in my heart, the Lord would not have listened; but God has surely listened and heard my voice in prayer. Praise be to God, who has not rejected my prayer or withheld His love from me!” Psalm 66:16-20

   “Surely the arm of the Lord is not too short to save, nor His ear too dull to hear. But your iniquities have separated you from your God; your sins have hidden His face from you, so that He will not hear.” Isaiah 59:1-2

   “As obedient children, do not conform to the evil desires you had when you lived in ignorance. But just as He who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do; for it is written: Be Holy, because I am Holy.” 1 Peter 1:14 – 16

   “Those whom I love I rebuke and discipline. So be earnest and repent.”Revelation 3:19 

  It is My will that you be aware of your sin. That you hate sin and love what is good. When you do, repentance will be simple and it will change your life. Walk daily with Me so that you can shine the light of Christ to the world as you are called.

We will be reading Psalm 66-70 for one more week.

Pure Love is only found in Jesus

Hello Faithful Readers,

   There are so many things that I, your Jesus, long to share with you about how much I love you and desire a close relationship with you. As you go through bad days and even good days, I want to be the One you turn to for everything you need. I am faithful, and I will provide for you in many different ways. I use people, music, books, My Word, devotionals, and many other things to provide what you need. Come close to Me and see for yourself how much I love you. If you seek Me with all your heart, I will be found by you.

   My Dear Children, as you live daily in this world, you will find that there is nothing truly satisfying that it can provide. The more you depend on the world, the more you will be left longing for more and more. That is how I created the world to be, so you would seek after Me, Jesus. I am the only One who can provide for all your emotional and spiritual needs so that you can truly be satisfied. Then I desire for you to remain in Me and cling to Me all day, everyday as you depend on My guidance and provision. There is no greater love on earth or in heaven than the love of God through Me, your Jesus. Seek after Me with all your heart, all your soul, all your mind, and all your strength and I will reveal Myself to you in beautiful ways. Then I will drench your thirsty and unsatisfied heart with My pure love that is truly able to satisfy.

   I desire for you to see that all the riches, all the relationships, and all the beauty in this world cannot completely satisfy your heart. They can only satisfy it for a little while. There is always something in you that will always want more. The only One who truly understands you and loves you no matter what is the One who created you. I created you because I love you and I desire to shower that love on you in a way that is meaningful to you and only you. No matter what you are going through or doing, I can and will find a way to give gifts of My love to you when you need it most. Focus on Me and be in tune to My Holy Spirit and you will notice these private and special gifts of love from Me to you. As your relationship with Me grows, you will learn more and more about Me and your own heart and you will be satisfied.

   My Children, as with all relationships, they flourish when the people in it spend time together and learn trust. Start your day with Me reading My Word, praying and talking with Me. Then stay there with Me all day. During your whole day think of Me and all that I have done for you and what I am doing in your life. Then your trust in Me will grow. Then stay close to Me and cling to Me all day and I will keep you on the right path. I will bless you with what you need when you remain in Me.

   To believe that there is no greater love on earth or in heaven than the love of God through Me is only possible when you know it as truth for yourself. No one else, can begin this relationship that I offer, but you and Me. No one can develop it, so it is strong enough to weather all the storms of this life, but you and Me. If you will choose to make Me number one in your life by seeking Me and loving Me with all your heart, soul, mind and strength, you will know Me and trust in Me alone for what your heart needs. You will then find Me when you seek Me in prayer and in reading My Word, and your heart will be drenched with the cool water of My Holy Spirit. Then My pure love will satisfy your heart.

   “O God, You are my God, earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for You, my body longs for You, in a dry and weary land where there is no water. I have seen You in the sanctuary and beheld Your power and Your glory. Because Your love is better than life, my lips will glorify You. I will praise You as long as I live, and in Your Name I will lift up my hands. My soul will be satisfied as with the richest foods; with singing lips my mouth will praise You. On my bed I remember You; I think of you through the watches of the night. Because You are my help, I sing in the shadow of Your wings. My soul clings to You, Your right hands upholds me.” Psalm 63:1-8

   “For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon Me and come and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. You will seek Me and find Me when you seek Me with all you heart. I will be found by you,” declares the Lord… Jeremiah 29:13

   “Some wandered in desert wastelands, finding no way to a city where they could settle. They were hungry and thirsty, and their lives ebbed away. Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble, and He delivered them from their distress. He led them by a straight way to a city where they could settle. Let them give thanks to the Lord for His unfailing love, and His wonderful deeds for men, for He satisfies the thirsty and fills the hungry with good things.” Psalm 107:4-9

   My love is able to satisfy the deep longings of your heart more than anything or anyone else. Seek after Me and trust in Me for all that you desire and need. Keep trusting Me all day, everyday and our relationship will grow into something truly beautiful. When you know Me, you will know My great love for you. Then My love will shine through you to others.

   We will begin reading Psalm 66 – 70 for two weeks.

The Lord Jesus is Our Rock and Our Salvation

  My Dear children, I, your Jesus, am filled with love and joy each time your heart turns toward Me. I am always thinking of you and moving on your behalf. When you turn your heart toward Me in praise and worship, I am drawn even closer to you. Draw near to Me through your day; seek Me in all you do and I will clear a straight path for you to walk in My peace and love, even in the most difficult situations.

   My Dear Ones, Through My death on the cross and resurrection from the dead, I have accomplished everything that is needed for you to live a life of hope for today and all eternity. Turn to Me and I will be your rock and fortress. When you put your trust and hope in Me you will find rest for your soul. Then no matter what comes against you, you will not be fearful, because I am with you. My will is that you would submit all your desires to control your own life over to Me. When you do this, you will walk each day of your life filled with My purposes for you. Then you will be blessed abundantly as you serve others through Me, according to My will.

   What I accomplished on the cross and then rising from the dead three days later means, is that when you trust in Me alone for your salvation, you then are walking in victory over the enemy and his schemes. When you grow closer to Me, and live through Me, you will be free to walk each day filled with hope for today and for the future. The enemies' accusations and assaults against you will have no strength because you put your trust in Me.

   As your Savior, I am able to handle anything that you come to me with. Nothing is impossible for Me when you put your trust in Me alone. When you come to Me in prayer and the daily reading of My Word, I will lift you up above your trials that try to bring you down. I will walk with you through each one. I am always present waiting to give you comfort and rest for your soul. Yes, you will have difficult days, but I will always help you through them, with hope for the future.

   My Dear Children, as you walk daily with Me and grow in Me, you will be given the desire and ability to turn over the control of your life to Me. As you grow and learn the truth of who I am, your heart will become softer and desire My will over your own. You will be willing to give Me control over your life because you trust that My plans are the best for you. As you daily walk in My will, you will begin to walk in the purposes I created you for. These are purposes that I have had planned for you from the beginning of time. As you grow closer to Me, you will know more about the purposes I have for you. Seek Me every day and I will lead you to where you should go.

   “My soul finds rest in God alone; my salvation comes from Him. He alone is my Rock and my Salvation; He is my Fortress, I will never be shaken…Find rest, O my soul, in God alone; my Hope comes from Him…My salvation and my honor depend on God; He is my might Rock, my Refuge. Trust in Him at all times, O people; pour out your hearts to Him, for God is our refuge… Surely You will reward each person according to what he has done.” Psalm 62: 1-2, 5-6, 7-8 & 12b

   “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose. For those God foreknew He also predestined to be conformed to the likeness of His Son…And those He predestined, He also called; those He called, He also justified; those He justified, He also glorified.” Romans 8:28 – 29a & 30

   “May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in Him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.” Romans 15:13

   All that I accomplished was done so that you would trust in Me and put your hope in Me alone for your salvation and eternal life with Me. Daily put your hope in Me and walk with Me. There is nothing you are going through that I can’t handle. When you trust in Me, I will lift you high above the troubles you face because you are My child. As you grow you will desire My will over yours. This will help you walk into the grand purposes I have planned for your life. Will you trust Me today and every day with your life?

   We will continue reading Psalm 60 – 65 for one more week.

Run to Jesus When Problems Arise

  Hello, My Dear Children,

  I, your Jesus, know everything that goes on in your life. I understand what you are going through when you are hurting. I also rejoice when you are experiencing great joy in your heart and in your life. I want to walk with you through it all so that no matter what, you have Me to share with in your joy, and you have My comfort in your sad times. I am always here for My children.

  I am with those who trust in My Name. When you need Me, I am only a whisper or thought away when you call or think of Me. No matter how hard your life may get, I am here to help you when you turn your heart to Me. Some of My children who put their trust in Me, really don’t put their trust in Me. When things get hard, they try to figure things out on their own or seek safety and comfort in the wrong places, never seeking My guidance. I desire as your Lord, to receive your full trust because I know what is best for each of My children. Instead of carrying the heavy load and worries of life on your own shoulders, submit them to Me. Lay them at My feet and don’t pick them up again. I am better able to help you deal with problems and worries than you are on your own. If you will trust Me with the good and the ugly parts of your life, then that means you won’t be worrying about them or trying to find ways to get away from them. You will be free to walk in peace and follow Me. Then you can think clearly as I direct you in dealing with the issues of life you are experiencing. Will you truly trust Me today and everyday with your life?

  My Dear Ones, I never intended for you to walk this life on your own. I made you to need Me and My love for you. When you trust Me with your life, I will always be with you to help you. When any kind of trouble comes, don’t run away in frustration; turn to Me first. Just think of Me or whisper to Me, and I will hear and I will answer you. I will provide what you need when you need it. The stresses of life may seem impossible, but with Me leading you through it, nothing is impossible. But you must turn to Me with all your heart and put your trust in Me to take care of you and those you love.

  My children, when you experience a difficulty and don’t turn to Me for guidance and My will for you, I am unable to lead you to greener pastures. I patiently wait for you to turn to Me, but many times this doesn’t happen. You make your own decisions and many times the difficulty may go away for a short time or just a little, but it will come back again or worse. When you turn to Me for guidance in any situation if you don’t know what to do, I will lovingly lead you in the right direction because I want what’s best for you. The road may be hard, but with My help I will lead you to the right destination.

  Will you believe that I am big enough to carry all your troubles and burdens on My shoulders? If you will believe, then you will be able to turn your burdens over to Me. Lay them down in complete submission to My will for your life. The weight and stress in your life will be lifted off your shoulders, and you will be able to focus on Me and My purposes designed for you. As you walk in obedience to Me, I will work out the best way to handle each one of your problems in My time. It brings Me great joy to see My children walking free from the weight of the world because they are letting Me carry it for them. This is My will for all My children to do on a daily basis.

  “I said, ‘Oh, that I had the wings of a dove! I would fly away and be at rest-I would flee far away and stay in the desert, I would hurry to my place of shelter, far from the tempest and storm’…But I call to God, and the Lord saves me. Evening, morning and noon I cry out in distress and he hears my voice. He ransoms me unharmed from the battle waged against me, even though many oppose me… Cast your cares on the Lord and He will sustain you; He will never let the righteous fall… But as for me, I trust in You.” Psalm 55:6-8, 16-18, 22 & 23b

  “Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.” Matthew 11:29

  “Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider Him who endured such opposition from sinful men, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.” Hebrews 12:1-3

  “The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and His understanding no one can fathom. He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.” Isaiah 40:28-31

  There is no one else who knows you and your situation better than Myself. The first thing I desire for you to do when faced with a trial or problem is to seek Me to find out how to handle things. Then My wisdom will be leading you through it. There may be quick results, or it could take years. If you have faith and you trust in Me, you can know My best for you will be the result. Let Me lighten the load you carry so you can run and finish the race I have set before you. It brings Me great pleasure when My children trust Me completely.

  We will begin reading Psalm 56-60 for two weeks.

Blessing in Him,

Patricia Terrell

I Will Cleanse You from All Unrighteousness

Hello Dear Ones,

How are you doing this week? I, your Jesus, long to fill your days with the kind of joy and peace which are only found in Me. Don’t let yourself be discouraged when bad days come, or when you make mistakes. Come to Me and seek My face. Comfort will arise in your hearts and you will receive My strength to carry on. Turn to Me in good days and bad days, and I will give you all you need to be content no matter what your situation is.

My children, I am your Redeemer. I have come to set you free from every sin, stronghold, and bondage that has found its way into your life. Remember, I conquered all sin past, present and future by dying on the cross and rising to life again on the third day, destroying death itself. There is nothing in your life that is too hard for Me to forgive if you will seek Me in faith, with a humble and contrite heart. I desire that you would acknowledge the sin in your life as it is made aware to you by the Holy Spirit. Then, seek My forgiveness through repentance for that sin. I am faithful and My grace is limitless; and I will forgive you of your sins, and restore you to a close walk with Me. I am patient with you and I will wait for you to come to Me and seek My love for you, with a humble heart.

My children, I know that sometimes it is hard to see Me for who I really am: Creator, Savior, Deliverer and Sustainer of all life. Know this, My whole purpose as the Son of God, is to save your soul from eternity apart from Me, and redeem your life from the schemes of the enemy who desires to keep My true purposes for your life hidden from you. The only way to discover My purposes for your life is to daily seek Me with a humble and soft heart. This is accomplished by being obedient to My Word. Then I will be able to slowly and lovingly deliver you from any sin, stronghold, or bondage.Sin is when you do something that you know is against My will. Strongholdsare walls that are built up around the heart when someone hurts you. And bondage comes from false beliefs about yourself or how God thinks about you, that might be in your life such as, “God couldn’t love Me”. You will be able to receive My corrections, discipline, and unfailing love each day that you seek Me. All of this is intended to remove any false ideas you have about Me, and correct wrong behaviors and thoughts that are strong and overpowering in your life. Come, let’s begin today, and see how strong My love is for you.

My faithful ones, there are some who misunderstand how I see sin. Yes, I have forgiven you of your sin - past, present, and future - when you repent of your sins and receive Me as your Savior, which is being “born again”. But even though you have been forgiven, and your soul has been redeemed, you are still going to make mistakes and you will sin again, everyday even. As My children, I have called you to live in this world but not of this world. But you still live in a sinful world and sin is all around you. This is why I desire for you to daily seek Me with a soft heart, willing to hear and receive correction when My Holy Spirit shows you your sin. In your love for Me and My Word, you will become repentant and sorrowful over your sin. You can then seek Me to forgive you of any sin known or unknown you have done. When you come to Me with a repentant heart, I will immediately forgive your sins and cleanse you from that sin. This can be done every day, if not many times a day as you are lead by My Holy Spirit. As you grow in this, you will find that you sin less, and you become more sensitive and aware when you are sinning. This is when you repent and seek forgiveness immediately once you realize that you have sinned. As you walk daily cleansed of your sin, you and I will then walk closer to each other all day long.

It doesn’t matter how bad you think you have sinned, I will forgive your sins by My grace, and draw you closer and closer to Me. This is when I can teach you and lead you into the life I created you for. I will restore your life to be free from the sin and strongholds that bind you and keep you from walking in freedom with Me. I am a patient God and when you desire to know Me and My love for you I will respond to your prayers to Me. Just know that My love for you is unlike any love you have ever known.

“For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” Romans 3:23

“Have mercy on me, O God, according to your unfailing love; according to Your great compassion blot out my transgressions. Wash away my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin. For I know my transgressions and my sin is always before me… Surely You desire truth in the inner parts; You teach me wisdom in the inmost place. Cleanse me with hyssop, and I will be clean; wash me, and I will be whiter than snow… Hide Your face from my sins and blot out all my iniquity. Create in me a pure heart O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me. Do not cast me from Your presence or take Your Holy Spirit from me. Restore to me the joy of Your salvation and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me… a broken and contrite heart, O God, You will not despise.” Psalm 51:1-3, 6-7, 9-12 & 17

“If we claim to have no sin, we are only fooling ourselves and not living in the truth. But if we confess our sins to Him, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all wickedness.” 1 John 1:8-9

I am the Savior of the world, and I accomplished everything that needed to be done to save you when I died on the cross and resurrected on the third day destroying sin and death. My forgiveness is available to all who trust in Me by faith, acknowledge their sin, repent, and receive My grace. When you walk before Me with a humble heart, seek Me and My will for your life, I will daily transform you into the person I created you to be. My great love for you will become the most important thing in your life as you follow after Me.

We will continue reading Psalm 51 – 55for one more week.

I Am Your Refuge and Strength in Times of Trouble

Dearest Ones,

  There is not a day that goes by that I am not thinking about you, and the many desires and dreams I have for your life. I long to share them with you if you will draw near to Me by reading My Word and spending time with Me today, and every day after that. I love you, and I long to speak words of refreshment and hope into each part of your life. Then, even in the difficult days and difficult moments you can remember all that I have told you and you will be encouraged.

My children, I your Jesus and Savior, am your refuge, strength, and ever-present help in times of trouble. There is nothing impossible for Me if you will have faith to believe and trust in Me to help you. In this world you will have trouble. With My help, the trouble you encounter can be used to help you grow and mature in Me and to bring Me glory by being a witness to others of My power and authority. I love to hear My children call out My Name, Jesus, in praise and worship, as well as in times of trouble, stress and anxiety. I am an omnipresent God and I am with you no matter where you are. I will defend you and protect you. I will give you peace and safety. Give Me all that is troubling you and I will help you.

  "There is nothing impossible for Me" is a big statement and difficult to comprehend. I am the creator of the heavens and the earth, yet I look upon you with love. You were created in My image and I desire to be with you and help you each day. Before your day starts, step out in faith by seeking Me, Jesus and spending time with Me. Have faith that I am with you and trust in Me to work things out for your good. When you grow to love Me with all of your heart, and have complete faith in Me, you will call to Me and I will help you. You can always turn to Me for strength and courage as you are going into a difficult situation or while you are in the situation. Remember, My ways are not your ways, so trust in Me to work things out according to My will instead of depending on your own understanding.

My Faithful Ones, you will have trouble in this life. Do not fear when trials come, but look to Me and I will calm your spirit. There is nothing to fear when you walk with Me. I desire the very best for My people. When you turn to Me in faith, and depend on My will for your life, you will be able to endure times of trial. You will persevere and overcome while you shine in My glory for all to see. In this, you will be a witness for others, and they will also have confidence in My power and authority over their lives.

  When My Name is spoken out of love for Me in praise and worship, My heart is drawn even closer to you. When My Name is spoken in times of trouble, stress, and anxiety, I am ever-present to help you. In my omnipresence, you can know that I am with you where ever you go when you walk in obedience to My commands. If there is sin or unforgiveness in your heart then these will keep you at a distance from Me. I cannot co-existent with sin. So come to Me and seek forgiveness for your sins, and walk clean before Me daily. In My love for you, I will defend you and protect you in many ways. When your life is chaotic, I will give you peace and safety even in the chaos. You can tell Me anything. I already know everything about you, but I want you to share with Me everything. Talk to Me about everything that brings your heart great joy. Tell anything that troubles you, then give it to Me and let it stay with me. This means you are not to worry about them, but follow My guidance in dealing with the issues. Rest in Me daily, I am strong, and capable of carrying the weight of the world on My shoulders. Remember, nothing is impossible for Me.

 “Without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to Him must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him.” Hebrews 11:6

  “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.” 2 Timothy 1:7

  “Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him.” James 1:2-5

  “…in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to Him purpose.” Romans 8:28

  “God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.      "Therefore we will not fear… The Lord Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress.” Psalm 46:1-2 & 7
  Dear Ones, I desire for you to turn all of your attention to Me because there is no one else in this world who is bigger and who loves you more. Turn your hearts to Me in faith and complete trust, and rest in Me daily as you receive strength, courage and help in times of trouble. I will use your times of trial to help you grow in Me because I use evil for good for My glory. When My Name is spoken in praise and worship or in distress and time of need, I am always listening attentively to your every word. I am always ready to help. I am never too busy. I am always right with you. Lay all your burdens at My feet and leave them there. I am able to take care of them. Then rest in My love and care for you today and every day!!
We will begin reading Psalm 51-55 for two weeks.

“The Power of the Tongue”

  Hello My Dear children, I, your Jesus, am delighted in you, as you continue to desire to know more about Me, and who I am. I know everything about you, more than you know about yourself, but I love to hear from you as you pray and talk to Me daily. I long to cultivate a relationship with you, and we can do that when you spend time with Me. We can spend time together in My Word, as you worship, and pray. Come and spend time with Me daily, and I will shine My light and love into your life.

  My Dear Ones, In My love for you I desire that you understand the power of the tongue, for good or bad, in your everyday life. Words that are spoken that are careless or hurtful to others cannot be removed once they are said. This can hurt others and you, after you realize the mistake that was made. Be careful My children of the words that you speak. Words that are spoken in love are a blessing to others, and honoring to Me. When words are spoken in love and grace all anger is removed; patience is present, and peace in heart and mind overflow. Walk daily with Me, beholding My glory, and My light will shine into all dark places in your heart. My light will win over the darkness in your life, and others will see it and be blessed by your life that is lived in Me.

  My children, I am patient in your weakness when you have hurtful thoughts in your heart that become hurtful words against others, or yourself. There are times that others are hurt, and then you are left feeling horrible after it is all said and done. These wounds can cause relationships to be severely damaged. Then your focus is taken off of Me and onto dealing with the stress of making things right. The tongue has great power to cause pain when the heart is hurting. I desire that you would come to Me daily reading My Word, and learning about Me, your Jesus. Then you will know and understand all that I have done for you, so that you can be healed from the wounds in your heart. When you trust in Me to heal the wounds in your heart you can be set free from the past, and be free to live daily in My light and love for you.

  My heart is greatly pleased with you, My children, when you walk with Me daily, and shine My light, the light of Christ, in this dark world. When you begin to understand how much I love you, you will daily speak words of love to others. You will be gracious and patient with others in their weaknesses, because you are able to love them as I have loved you in your weaknesses. Walking in peace and patience through your words and actions will bring great blessings to you and others. There is no stopping My love when you love and speak blessing into others lives.

  The only way to walk in My love daily, is to spend time with Me and behold My love for you personally. As our relationship grows you will learn to trust Me with all of your past, present and future. In order to walk in My love we must address the wounds that are hurting your heart. Words that are spoken reveal what is in the heart of a person. Hurtful words that are spoken come from a heart that is hurting and in darkness regarding various wounding situations from the past. The person that is hurting may hurt others by the words they say. The cycle goes on until the pain in the heart is addressed. As I said before, I know you better than you know yourself. Come to Me with all the hurtful words you have ever said, or had spoken to you. Then repent, or offer forgiveness, and let Me help you, by healing your heart from these past wounds. This is only possible for My children who have repented and received My forgiveness from their sins, and received My free gift of salvation. Then through the work of the Holy Spirit that was given to you, you are given the grace to forgive others who have sinned against you. Then as you freely forgive others your heart will be healed. If you will trust Me, I will give you freedom from this cycle of pain, and your heart will be free to speak words of light and love to others, for My glory. Then no wound from the past or temptation to speak hurtful words to yourself, or others will win out. You will know that My love for you is the most important thing in your life. Do you know how much I love you?

  “A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.” Proverbs 15:1

  “The tongue has the power of life and death…” Proverbs 18:21

  “Reckless words pierce like a sword, but the tongue of the wise brings healing.” Proverbs 12:18

  “The tongue that brings healing is a tree of life, but a deceitful tongue crushes the spirit.” Proverbs 15:4

  “Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouth, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen.” Ephesians 4:29

  “Pleasant words are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul and healing to the bones.” Proverbs 16:24

  The power of the tongue can bring blessing, or pain. Hurtful words that you speak bring down all who receive them. But Words that are filled with love, peace, and patience lift up and heal those who receive them. As you walk with Me daily, and grow in My love, your heart will receive healing and blessing in your life, and the life of those around you. My love is here waiting for you to seek it out, and grow in love, so you can shine My light in this dark world.

  We will continue reading Psalm 46-50 for one more week.
