Fullness of Joy

Psalm 16

When you feel like you can't breathe, step back into My Presence. It is an expanse of Grace in which you can truly breathe, and find space to be. This is the rest I call you to. 

You can enter this rest any time you like! I have bought you eternal access, through My life blood, My death and resurrection. You honour Me when you make use of the access that I've paid so dearly for. Do not hold back because you feel you don't deserve it - this dishonours Me! It is already bought and paid for!

There is a storm raging around you, and you are feeling buffeted and tossed about. Lean back into My Presence - you are completely safe here. I AM your refuge, your shelter, your strong tower. Fear has no power to hurt you here. Lean into Me, and breathe. Find rest for your soul here, dear one. Rest, and be refreshed.  

You have no reason to fear, though the storm rages wildly about you and shows no sign of letting up. You are held secure in My Love. "The eternal God is your refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms." (Deuteronomy 33:27) You are enveloped by My Presence. You do not need to leave. You do not need to step out again into the storm, unprotected. Carry My Presence with you, dear one. 

This is the secret to joy-filled, victorious living - I am making known to you the path of life...that in My Presence there is FULLNESS OF JOY! (Psalm 16:11) As you carry My Presence with you, you are not ruled by your circumstances. Your feelings dictate your demeanor no longer! You will not be shaken, because I AM always before you and at your right hand. (Psalm 16:8) You can rest secure, your heart can be glad and your whole being rejoice, for in My Presence is fullness of joy. FULLNESS OF JOY, dear heart, FULLNESS OF JOY!
