I heard the Father say:

“I am bringing joy to your life.”

He went on to say:

“For so long, things have felt tedious and overwhelming to you. Normal activities of daily life have been harder than they should be, and all of this has weighed you down in more ways than one.

But I am bringing joy back into your life, and it starts with the little things.

I am taking away the burdens and the intimidation that have been hounding you. I am giving you courage and helping you see how small many of these things are in comparison with how big I am. I am showing you the power of what fifteen minutes of effort can do, and I am helping you to see that My grace is sufficient for you in all things.

I am restoring joy to your heart and putting the dance back in your inner man.

For in this season, I will speak to you about all things for which you have asked Me. I am renewing My covenant with you and restoring your faith, and you shall see and know how faithful I am.

For you lost your joy for a time, but I am giving it back. And you will see and know that I am the Lord; that there is no other; and that I really do work all things out for your good.

I am giving you diamonds of joy in this season: little sparkles throughout your day that, if added up, will produce a great big sparkle in your life. A big key to this is gratitude and thanksgiving; you will find that things will go much better for you if you make a purposeful effort to give thanks for what you have.

But while you do this, I am affirming your faith to you.

For I am an on-time God, and I am showing up on time for you. I do come at the midnight hour sometimes, but I will always manifest Myself to you right on time. And I am giving you peace in the waiting, for your peace has been robbed from you along with your joy for a season.

But it is the season of the incremental restoration of all things, and so I am teaching you to have peace even when things look tumultuous outside.

For I am with you, and I am singing over you in the night season. I am holding you tightly in My arms, and I will never let you go. I am moving you forward from grace to grace and strength to strength, and all the things that have been diamonds in the rough will become diamonds of smooth surfaces in this season.

For I am making a way where there seems to be no way. I will bring you the provision that you need in each instant, and all the things that you are asking Me for will have preview signs attached to them. Look out for these preview signs, for I want you to be comforted by them while you wait on Me.

For waiting is good for your heart, in the long run; but the signs I am sending are also good for your soul, for they will encourage you. And I know that sometimes it feels like I am not hearing your prayers, but I assure you that I always am.

For I am rewarding your faithfulness and diligence,” says the Lord.

“You have sought Me early and diligently, and I have seen every prayer and every turn of the page in your Bible. I know how your heart longs after Me, and I assure you that Mine is chasing after you too. For I am with you always, but I yearn for you to be closer to Me than ever.

You do not have to fear or be discouraged in this season, My beloved. I am opening the doors that you need opened, and I will prevent you from going down any path that is dangerous for you if you will but trust in My Word and follow My guidance.

For I am your Shield and your Strong Tower, and I am giving you rest right now.

Look to Me and live. Take peace and comfort in My presence. Do not fear or be discouraged, for I the Lord am God of All Things New, and I will take you into your new territory and prosper you there. I love you always and forever, and I am right here beside you and in you right now.

Love,

Your Abba Father.”

Thank You so much, Abba Father. You are good, and Your mercy endures forever.
