Filled With Joy! (John 15:10-12)
“If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love, just as I have kept My Father’s commandments and abide in His love. These things I have spoken to you that My joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be full. This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.”
“My precious one, you are the love of My heart and I long to see you filled with My joy! When I see you weary, stressed out and quickly angered, it grieves My heart and makes Me sad because this is less than the fullness of life I want for you. I live in the realm of endless joy and I want the same for you. I want to bring you to that place where deep laughter can overcome every challenge and attack of the enemy and drive out every kind of fear. I want to see you healed and whole and restored through the good medicine of My joy. My joy makes you strong (Nehemiah 8:10) and floods you with hope. Joy is what I want for you, and you will have a whole new perspective on life when you begin to lighten up and walk in the sweetness of My joy.
It delights My heart and makes Me smile when you live in My presence and seek to do what I have asked you to do. It is so easy to abide in My love, so easy to please Me and My joy becomes yours when you become as one with Me. There are many things that I have asked of you but something that really makes me glad is when I see you loving others in the same way that I love you.
My love is patient, kind and filled with mercy. My love does not see you as you are but as you will be. My love is faithful, pure and unconditional. My love brings beauty where you knew ashes, joy where there were tears. My love is eternal and there is absolutely nothing that can separate you from My love. My love holds nothing back and that is why I gave My life. Can you love like I love, precious one? Can you resist the desire to condemn or criticize, and love instead? Can you see through My eyes of love and see the hurt that lives in hearts? Can you speak a word of life and breathe fresh hope into a hurting soul? Would you bless where there were curses and heal the wounds that should have never been? Would you impart life instead of death as I would, and forgive freely? Tender, true and enduring - that is love, and Love is who I Am.
When you love like I love, beloved, your heart will feel My joy. It is the joy that flows when your heart is in tune with Mine, the joy of truly abiding in Me. It is My joy becoming yours, not just temporarily but every day, filling you up and setting you free. Joy is My language; joy is My atmosphere. I want to so fill your life that you will be filled and overflowing with My joy! This is spiritual warfare. This is the victory that overcomes the world - My joy in you forever!
Draw nearer precious child, and let Me fill you with My presence. There may be many reasons why you feel sad or bad, but choose to stay in Me and let Me fill you with My joy. I see a River rising. It is a cleansing, healing, holy River and it is the overflow of joy! I break the spirit of heaviness off your life this day, and I banish discouragement, doubt and despair. Decide that nothing and no one shall rob your joy from you because the Everlasting One is living inside you and He wants to fill you with His joy. I release a new song into your heart today, a song of joy, a song from the depths of My heart. You are stepping into a season of great JOY!”
