The glory which You have given Me I have given to them, that they may be one, just as We are one; I in them and You in Me, that they may be perfected in unity, so that the world may know that You sent Me, and loved them, even as You have loved Me. John 17:22-23.
Today your LORD (יהוה) God (אלהים) says:
You are beloved, forgiven, blessed and favored by Me. And I am the Most High and the ultimate source and goal of all things. All life is from Me and in Me. And I love you and I am love.
What does it mean to be beloved? It means you cannot escape notice; YOU are always on My mind.
“Can a woman forget her nursing child and have no compassion on the son of her womb? Even these may forget, but I will not forget you. Behold, I have inscribed you on the palms of My hands.” Isaiah 49:15-16.
I am mindful of you.
The LORD has been mindful of us; He will bless us. Psalm 115:12.
I am always watching over you, you are never out of My sight.
Behold, the eye of the LORD is on those who fear Him, on those who hope for His lovingkindness, to deliver their soul from death and to keep them alive in famine. Psalm 33:18-19.
I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you should go; I will counsel you with My eye upon you. Psalm 32:8.
I protect and deliver you in many ways. I created the angels to serve you, you who are heirs of salvation, and I have commanded them to guard you and protect you from harm. I cover you under their pinions. I am the LORD of Hosts.
For it is He who delivers you from the snare of the trapper and from the deadly pestilence. He will cover you with His pinions, and under His wings you may seek refuge; His truth and faithfulness are a shield and bulwark. . . For He gives His angels charge concerning you, to guard you in all your ways. They will bear you up in their hands that you do not strike your foot against a stone. Psalm 91:3-4,11-12.
You are beloved by Me with a love that is higher than the sky and deeper than the sea.
He has not dealt with us according to our sins, nor rewarded us according to our iniquities. For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is His lovingkindness toward those who revere Him. As far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us. Just as a father has compassion on his children, so the LORD has compassion on those who are mindful of Him. Psalm 103:10-13.
The love I have for you is past mental understanding and yet it is meant for revelation and impartation. And I want your life to be rooted and grounded in My love so it is what flows through you to light up your life each and every day. I pour My love into your heart by the gift of the Holy Spirit who also is love.
I desire for you to know My love as manifested to you in the salvation I wrought for you in Christ Jesus, the Messiah of Salvation.
For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, from whom the whole family in heaven and on earth derives its name, that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with power through His Spirit in the inner man, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; and that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled up to all the fullness of God. Now to Him who is able to do far more abundantly beyond all that we ask or think, according to the power that works within us, to Him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations forever and ever. Amen. Ephesians 3:14-21.
I keep you in My heart. In the parable of the prodigal son, the father kept watch for the wandering son. The son had gone off to a distant land but the father with watching with his heart. And he knew the minute the heart of his son had turned back and wanted to draw close again. And that was all the heart of the father had been watching for. As the son began the long road home, while he was still a long way off, the father ran to meet him and welcome him home. The father was so excited that the boy wanted to come back to him that nothing could stop him from running to embrace him. When you draw close to Me, I draw close to you. I run and catch you in My arms and clothe you in the garments of Salvation and the robe of righteousness and give you the signet ring.
He gave the son back everything he lost and more.
LOVE GIVES. It has pleased Me to give you the Kingdom. I am the LORD your healer, the LORD who looks ahead and provides for you. I am the LORD your peace, your strength, your righteousness, your refuge, and your Father. I give you good things.
“Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened. Or what man is there among you who, when his son asks for a loaf, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, he will not give him a snake, will he? If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give what is good to those who ask Him!” Matthew 7:7-11.
Do you understand what My Son is telling you? And I speak to you through My Son. Jesus is telling you about Me. And He and I are One. I GIVE GOOD THINGS TO YOU, MY CHILDREN, WHEN YOU ASK ME. Why do you think I would give you a stone when you ask for bread? A snake if you ask Me for a fish? Sickness when you ask for health? Poverty when you ask for prosperity? Every good thing given and every perfect gift comes down from above, from Me, the Father of lights. I alone am good. And I have stored up goodness for you in your heavenly account that I want you to take by faith and release into your life in the world.
How great is Your goodness, which You have stored up for those who fear You, which You have wrought for those who take refuge in You, before the sons of men! You hide them in the secret place of Your presence from the conspiracies of man; You keep them secretly in a shelter from the strife of tongues. Psalm 31:19-20.
You can expect good things when you come to Me, when you ask Me, when you seek them you will find them in Me, when you knock at the doors of opportunity I set before you, you will find I open them to you—a life of good deeds I PREPARED for you in advance that you might enjoy your life and find your days filled with good things and your youth renewed like the eagle’s.
You are My beloved. Love is faithful. And you expect that with you I will always act with love for that is who I am. What can you expect I will do? Read on:
Love is patient, love is kind and is not jealous; love does not brag and is not arrogant, love is not rude and does not act unbecomingly; it does not seek its own, is not provoked, does not keep a record of a wrong suffered, does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails. 1 Corinthians 13:4-8.
And I am the same yesterday, today and forever. And let Me show you how much My Son loves you. He does not just release you from your sins, give you the gift of eternal life, and disappear out of your life. He did not leave you orphans. I raised Him from the dead as your great good Shepherd and as your great High Priest, and He will always be such eternally.
Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession (homologia: speaking in agreement with My Words). For we do not have a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but One who has been tempted in all things as we are, yet without sin. Therefore let us draw near with confidence to the throne of grace, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need. Hebrews 4:14-16.
Now the God of peace, who brought up from the dead the great Shepherd of the sheep through the blood of the eternal covenant, even Jesus our Lord, equip you in every good thing to do His will, working in us that which is pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen. Hebrews 13:20-21.
And a Shepherd cares for His sheep, carries the lambs in His bosom, leads them to green pastures and living waters, guides and protects them as He leads them in paths of righteousness, sets a table before them, and brings them safely into My house forever, where I wipe every tear from your eyes.
For the Lamb in the center of the throne will be their shepherd, and will guide them to springs of the water of life; and God will wipe every tear from their eyes. Revelation 7:17.
And He nurtures you as one does His own body, for you are His body upon the earth, the glorious church of the called out ones, of the firstborn, of the joint heirs, of the royal priesthood.
For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ also does the church, because we are members of His body. Ephesians 5:29-30.
I called Jesus My Beloved Son and I tell you that as He so are you in this world. My beloved children, My heirs and joint heirs with Christ. You have a beautiful inheritance, and like the prodigal son and the elder brother, you do not have to wait, it is yours for the asking and the receiving now. You are with Me always and everything I have is yours. And I have given it all to you in Christ Jesus.
The LORD is the portion of my inheritance and my cup; You support my lot. The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places; indeed, my heritage is beautiful to me . . . You will make known to me the path of life; in Your presence is fullness of joy; in Your right hand there are pleasures forever. Psalm 16:5-6,11.
Jesus told you that as I have loved Him, so He has loved you and that you should abide in His love.
Just as the Father has loved Me, I have also loved you; abide in My love. John 15:9.
And how do you abide always in His love? He tells you, the same as He abides in My love: by keeping My Words, and My Words are not idle words, they are commandments that give life and blessing: “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.” John 15:10. And the result? JOY: These things I have spoken to you so that My joy may be in you, and that your joy may be made full. John 15:11.
But He told you more. He told you that I love you even as I love Him.
The glory which You have given Me I have given to them, that they may be one, just as We are one; I in them and You in Me, that they may be perfected in unity, so that the world may know that You sent Me, and loved them, even as You have loved Me. John 17:22-23.
Have faith in what I say and you will have joy. Do not have faith in your emotions, your circumstances, or even your own body, but only in My Word. Abraham refused to regard his body or Sarah’s, because if he had regarded that aspect instead of My promise, he never would have had a son.
And many of you, though I have told you I love you and that I give you good things when you ask, not bad things, are not walking in that confidence when you come to My throne. You are not sure what I will give you or do. This ought not to be. You should expect nothing but good. All My promises, as many and as magnificent as they be, are “YES” to you in Christ Jesus. Know that and come to My throne with confidence to RECEIVE mercy and FIND grace just when you need it.
I love you. Believe that and receive ALL that goes with it. Which is the Kingdom and all the promises in My Covenant Names.
