Let me hear Your lovingkindness in the morning; for I trust in You; teach me the way in which I should walk; for to You I lift up my soul. Deliver me, O Lord, from my enemies; I take refuge in You. Teach me to do Your will, for You are my God; let Your good Spirit lead me on level ground.

Jeremiah 29:11

“For I know the plans that I have for you,” declares the Lord. “Plans for welfare and not calamity, to give you a future and a hope. Then you will call upon Me and come and pray to Me; and I will listen to you. And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart.”

In Christ Himself... are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.

My Child,
I came to give you wisdom, knowledge, and understanding; seek Me and you will find these jewels. My Words bring life and light to your present day and your future. Trust My words, and then obey them outright— for I give wisdom generously to those who ask without doubting (James 1:5).

John 15:19-11

Just as the Father has loved Me, I have also loved you; abide in My love. 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 be in you, and that your joy may be made full.

My Child,
I came to give you joy. You must know, there is such a vast difference between happiness and joy. Happiness is surface and temporary; joy runs deep and is eternal. Happiness depends on circumstances, and it cannot withstand any trial; however, the joy that I give you is per- manent and powerful, no matter the circumstance, no matter the trial. Let My joy abound in your heart each day.

Immanuel

Philippians 4:11-13

Not that I speak from want; for I have learned to be content in whatever cir- cumstances I am. I know how to get along with humble means, and I also know how to live in prosperity; in any and every circumstance I have learned the secret of being filled and going hungry, both of having abundance and suffering need. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

Colossians 1:17-18

And He (Jesus) is before all things, and in Him all things hold together. He is also the head of the body, the church; and He is the beginning, the first born from the dead; so that He Himself might come to have first place in everything.

Philippians 3:7-8

But whatever things were gain to me, those things I have counted loss for the sake of Christ. More than that, I count all things to be loss in view of the sur- passing value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them but rubbish in order that I may gain Christ.

Psalm 73:25-26

Whom have I in heaven but Thee?
And besides Thee, I desire nothing on earth.
My flesh and my heart may fail,
But God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.

My Child,
I came to give you contentment. You will obtain this fulfillment if and only if I am the Lord of your life. When I have first place in your heart, you will not want anything else. Daily yield to Me, and I will faithfully satisfy the longings of your heart and soul.

Immanuel

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, shall guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

Ephesians 2:14

For He Himself is our peace...

My Child,
I came to give you peace. No other meditation rituals or mind- practices can compare to the serenity I can give your soul. The more you understand who I am in my Word, the more you will crave the quietness that only I can give. Hear me say to you each day, “In repentance and rest you shall be saved, in quietness and trust is your strength” (Isaiah 30:15).

Isaiah 61:1-3

The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me, because the Lord has anointed me to bring good new to the afflicted; He has sent me to bind up the broken- hearted... to comfort all who mourn, to grant those who mourn in Zion, giv- ing them a garland instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning, the mantle of praise instead of a spirit of fainting. So they will be called oaks of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, the He may be glorified.

My Child,
I came to give you comfort. Your afflictions will not go unnoticed by Me. I too was afflicted, so I understand. Be convinced that I am present with you in your trial, and I will hold your hand each step of the way until you reach the other side. In the meantime, hear me whisper My words of encouragement and peace; let My words of truth bind up your broken heart.

Immanuel

Then Moses called for all the elders of Israel, and said to them, “Go and take for yourselves lambs according to your families, and slay the Passover lamb... and apply some of the blood that is in the basin to the lintel and the two doorposts... and when the Lord sees the blood ...He will pass over the door and will not allow the destroyer to come in to your houses to smite you.”

Knowing that you were not redeemed with perishable things like silver or gold from your futile way of life inherited from your forefathers, but with precious blood, as of a lamb unblemished and spotless, the blood of Christ.”

Isaiah 53:7

He was oppressed and He was afflicted, yet He did not open His mouth; like a lamb that is led to slaughter, and like a sheep that is silent before its shear- ers, so He did not open His mouth.

My Child,
I am the Lamb of God. Your sin must be dealt with before you can enter My Father’s holy presence; and because I am holy, I am the only One who can settle the matter. My blood shed at the cross cov- ered you so that you then could also become holy in God’s sight. Accept My sacrifice, as your sacrifice... and live with Me forever.

Immanuel
