 My dearly beloved, I hear and see the tears that you have cried over being broken.  I desire you to know that in these moments, I draw closer to you as a Father does to his child that has been hurt, rejected, or forsaken.

Good morning,
 
    My dearly beloved, I hear and see the tears that you have cried over being broken.  I desire you to know that in these moments, I draw closer to you as a Father does to his child that has been hurt, rejected, or forsaken.  I declare to you that you are My precious one, the apple of My eye.  I will never treat you as those who have hard hearts, have done.  Yet know that their insensitivity is because of their own pain.  Give them the compassion that they neglected to show you.  Your harvest of love will come back manifold.   Always, always, show My kindness in the face of hurt and pain.  I Am God, and I Am righteous to judge fairly.  I will repay to everyone the seeds that they have sown.  I know the hearts of men, and without Me there is nothing good in them.  That is why I Am constantly wooing the rejected, the downcast, the forsaken, and the one who is least.  I seek to save them from their own self-destruction.  My judgment is righteous and fair.  So, turn your tears of hurt to tears of prayers, uttered for those who have inflicted wounds.  Be like Me in your forgiveness.  Now stand back and see how I will turn what the enemy meant to harm you in to your finest hour.  They meant it for harm, but I meant it for good, to save you and to bring you out into a large place.
 
    There is a fresh season ahead for you.  Most of all I will bring you into the place that I have prepared for you to show forth My glory.  Be sure and know that your gifts will make room for you.  You will not be disappointed with My purpose, trust Me, I will not fail to delight your heart.  I still have great surprises planned for all that put their hope in Me.  You will experience for yourself days of new liberation from pain, hurts, and any form of rejection.  It will be as if you are dancing in the sun, without the threat of rain.  You will know what it is to be covered by My shade of favor.  You will see and know that a divine healing has taken place in your heart.  All that the enemy lied to you about and said that I would not heal you of, I will do it for My pleasure in providing for you.  Stay ready for the changing of the present circumstances, they will be swift and many will stand with wonder at the speed of change.  So do not allow yourself to be overwhelmed or depressed by what you see.  For soon you will not see these enemies in your land again.  Your destiny is one of great hope.   Believe only and you will see! 
 
    "Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy-laden and overburdened, and I will cause you to rest. I willease and relieve and [refresh your souls." (Matt. 11:28)

 
    "The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me, because the Lord has anointed and qualified me to preach the Gospel of good tidings to the meek, the poor, and afflicted; He has sent me to bind up and heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the [physical and spiritual] captives and the opening of the prison and of the eyes to those who are bound, to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord [the year of His favor] and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all who mourn, To grant [consolation and joy] to those who mourn in Zion—to give them an ornament (a garland or diadem) of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, the garment [expressive] of praise instead of a heavy, burdened, and failing spirit—that they may be called oaks of righteousness [lofty, strong, and magnificent, distinguished for uprightness, justice, and right standing with God], the planting of the Lord, that He may be glorified." (Is. 61:1-3)
 
    "Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not." (Gal. 6:7-9)

 I know that you are going through a tough transition, yet I have not forsaken you.  This will open up for you a large place, a place where you will begin to trust and lean on Me like never before. 

 
Good morning,
 
    I know that you are going through a tough transition, yet I have not forsaken you.  This will open up for you a large place, a place where you will begin to trust and lean on Me like never before.  As you have shifted, you may think that you have lost loved ones, positions, careers, and even ministries.  It is not over, I Am working on something for you.  I have always had a good plan for you, and it is My plan that will prevail.  I have seen the tears and the heartaches, the times of feeling rejected, or cast away.  You were never rejected by Me, no, never.  I have waited for you to turn all of your affections and desires to Me.  I will be all that you need, but you must renew your love for Me.  I will fulfill the longings of your heart and heal your brokenness.  I will give you a heart that thinks like Me.  You will then see that you have not really lost anything, instead that you have gained more ground in Me.  As you begin to shake yourself free from the cares of this world, you will awake to see the new light that has arisen over the obscure places that you have tread upon.  I will send men to help you and send you help from on high.
    Distractions of this age have tried to occupy my children's thoughts.  They are led astray by their thoughts.  I have given you a sound mind, but you must keep your mind stayed on Me in order to keep it sound.  Many are falling away from Me because they no longer spend the quiet moments with Me in worship.  They are careful and busy about many things so that from dawn until the night their thoughts are not towards me.  It is My peace that I have given to you in the past that guards your thoughts and your emotions.  I say to you, to be concerned about your true Love.  I Am the One.  Too many lovers make you an unfaithful lover.  When was the last time that I was the only One on your mind?  I Am a jealous lover, I will not have any other love before Me.  Come back to Me with the simple, believing, love that you once had, and I will receive you to Myself and restore to you the joy that you had in serving Me.  If not you will miss My next move, you will not be able to see, for your other lovers will detain you and keep your eyes covered.  You must come to Me again as a virgin love.  Depend on Me, I Am trustworthy.
 
    "Do not fret or have any anxiety about anything, but in every circumstance and in everything, by prayer and petition (definite requests), with thanksgiving, continue to make your wants known to God. And God’s peace [shall be yours, that tranquil state of a soul assured of its salvation through Christ, and so fearing nothing from God and being content with its earthly lot of whatever sort that is, that peace] which transcends all understanding shall garrison and mount guard over your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus." (Phil. 4:6-7)
 
    "You [are like] unfaithful wives [having illicit love affairs with the world and breaking your marriage vow to God]! Do you not know that being the world’s friend is being God’s enemy? So whoever chooses to be a friend of the world takes his stand as an enemy of God. Or do you suppose that the Scripture is speaking to no purpose that says, The Spirit Whom He has caused to dwell in us yearns over us and He yearns for the Spirit [to be welcome] with a jealous love?" (James 4:4-5)
 
"For I know the thoughts and plans that I have for you, says the Lord, thoughts and plans for welfare and peace and not for evil, to give you hope in your final outcome." (Jer. 29:11)

 I have recorded your wanderings I have put your tears in a bottle. I have written them in My book.

 
Good morning,
 
    I have recorded your wanderings I have put your tears in a bottle. I have written them in My book. The reason I have gathered your tears is that I have caused them to be the water upon the seeds that you have sown in your life.  All those who have sown in tears, yes, they will reap in joy.  You will come again bearing all those precious seeds, more seeds for sowing.  The joy that is unspeakable and full of glory shall come upon you and multiply more joy to you.  While others are having tears, you are wise enough to know that this joy has been given to you so that you can learn to comfort others with joy, and the presence, and the peace that you will have learned in the stillness and the quietness of being with Me. And because I have anointed you for this moment, and in this time and in this season, you will humble yourself.  You will stay humble.  You have learned how to stay humble by the circumstances that you have encountered.  And because you have learned to stay humble before Me, I can not help but anoint and exalt you.  People will say, why are they continually being exalted?  It is because you have humbled yourself. I will do it so that My name might be glorified and honored.  I have not forgotten one tear that has dropped in the secret times.  I have not forgotten one tear that has dropped in times of trouble and testing.  Nothing has been lost, nothing has been wasted.  I Am recovering and restoring back to you all the things that the enemy tried to steal from you.  This is a season of recovery and restoration.  While others are in famine, you will walk in prosperity.  I have told you that everything that the enemy stole from you, I will restore double. I will turn around and press it down and run over to give back to you so that you will have an overwhelming abundance in the time of famine.  So rejoice for I Am your Father and the lover of your soul.
 
    "Instead of your [former] shame you shall have a twofold recompense; instead of dishonor and reproach [your people] shall rejoice in their portion.  Therefore in their land they shall possess double [what they had forfeited]; everlasting joy shall be theirs." (Is. 61:7)
 
    "Therefore humble yourselves [demote, lower yourselves in your own estimation] under the mighty hand of God, that in due time He may exalt you" (1 Peter 5:6)
 
    "You’ve kept track of all my wandering and my weeping. You’ve stored my many tears in your bottle—not one will be lost. For they are all recorded in your book of remembrance."  (Ps. 56:8)

 I hearken to the cry of My children and I will cause you to hear Me clearly, to know more of Me, and to go deeper.

 
Good morning,
 
    I hearken to the cry of My children and I will cause you to hear Me clearly, to know more of Me, and to go deeper. I have taken your tears and I have placed every one of them in a bottle, and I said in My word that weeping may endure for a night but joy comes in the morning.  Your morning of joy has come.  For I saw your tears and I turned those tears that I placed in a bottle as a seed, and I caused that seed to come back as a harvest of joy.  I Am causing the seasons of joy to come into your life, even in the midst of a desperate and dying world.  My people will experience a new level of joy and peace.  It will not be known by your laughter, it is not known by joviality it will be by the constant current of peace and joy that lies within you.  Your love for Me causes you to live in My great peace.  
    This new level moves you past every circumstance and situation because of knowing Me intimately.  I Am for you, and I Am working all things out for your good, no matter what it looks like.  For My word tells you over and over again, that I Am working, I Am preparing My best.  It is not based on the circumstances that you actually see, it is based on the consistency and faithfulness of My word.  I watch over my word to perform it on your behalf, and I will do exactly what I said I will do on your behalf because you cry out daily and I hear your prayer.
    I Am answering you now.  There is nothing that you have spoken to Me in the secret place that I have not taken to heart.  I Am working on the answer on your behalf, and even though at times, it seems like I Am still, and I Am silent, and I Am not moving, I Am moving.  I Am working those things out for you, for I know the answer, and I know the way, and I Am bringing the desired results to pass.  All I want you to do is to continue to believe, trust, and rejoice in Me, for I Am the answer.  There is nothing that is too impossible for Me to put My words to and cause a turnaround for your good.  So stand and see the salvation of your God.  I will bring it to pass, your tears and your faith have brought forth the harvest.  There is so much that I have to reveal and make known to you.  You will see as you rest in My joy and peace.
 
    "You will show me the path of life; in Your presence is fullness of joy, at Your right hand there are pleasures forevermore." (Ps 16:11)
 
    "Great peace have they who love Your law; nothing shall offend them or make them stumble." (Ps. 119:165)
 
    "And we know [with great confidence] that God [who is deeply concerned about us] causes all things to work together [as a plan] for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to His plan and purpose." (Rom. 8:28)
 
    "Those who sow their tears as seeds will reap a harvest with joyful shouts of glee. They may weep as they go out carrying their seed to sow, but they will return with joyful laughter and shouting with gladness as they bring back armloads of blessing and a harvest overflowing!" (Ps. 126:5-6)
 
Love,

 I know you says the Lord.  I know you more intimately than anyone else has ever dared to know you, and I know the enemy has desired to sift you as wheat.

Good morning
 
     I know you says the Lord.  I know you more intimately than anyone else has ever dared to know you, and I know the enemy has desired to sift you as wheat.  But I have prayed for you, and because I stand as the intercessor of your soul, know that there is no weapon, there is nothing that is formed against you that shall ever prosper.  I have seen your tears, yes, and know that weeping may endure for a night but joy, joy comes in the morning, and you have read in My word that they who sow in tears they shall reap in joy.  Joy is coming to you.  There is about to be a turnover for you, for I have taken the tears that you have cried and I have taken them and put them in My precious bottle.  There is a reason why I put them there, it is so that they can turn over for you into a harvest of joy.  I will multiply back to you with every tear that you sowed as you prayed and sought My face in those times through difficult seasons.  I Am bringing you out says the Lord, for I know the way to bring My bride out, I will cause the enemy to be astounded.  I Am bringing you out and those things that have been crushed in you through the wilderness years, I Am using them as a sweet smelling savor.  It will become the perfume that will turn many back to Me says the Lord. Because the enemy desired to sift you I have taken the sifting and the things that he tried to place upon you for destruction and turned them for your good and now I have placed you high above your brethren.  This anointing shall rest upon you all the days of your life and you shall be extraordinarily different and unique in My kingdom says the Lord.  Many shall come because of the fragrance, because of the crushing that has come, many shall come.  Do you not understand that the crushing of the wheat brings more, makes more, and multiplies more in My hand?  So even though the enemy sought to destroy you, he pushed you into more says the Lord.  My hands touching those things that he desired to destroy, I multiplied into goodness, because everything that he meant for your evil I have turned around for your good.  
     This is the season and the harvest of good.  A joy is about to be released in you that you have never felt or experienced, it has been welling up on the inside of you.  Mixed with tears now joy shall burst forth like a river of clarity flowing into your life.  You will find the pleasure that I have for you and in you.  You will walk in it, and every place you go people will almost be infected by that joy that will exude from you, this is a turnover for you.  Do you understand everything has brought you to this place and to this moment and now your faithfulness to Me will abound in goodness?  You will see and understand that there is a sweet smell that I have been busy uncovering in you, that many have been longing for and needing. Yes, you had to go through, the sifting was a necessary journey to make you able to stand.  I have said in My word, even though you walk through the valley of the shadow of death, fear no evil for there, even there I Am with you.  I am opening my most costly anointing, you.  Even in the dark times I was there, when no one else could be found, I was there.  I Am your faithful Father, the lover of your soul, the keeper of all your tears, and I know what you have gone through and I have been with you every step of the way.  Just know you will walk in your deliverance, walk in your wholeness, your head will be held high and there will be none like you who can stand the beauty that I have placed upon you and the sweet smell that shall come forth from you will intoxicate others into joy.  That is My seal of approval being placed upon you.  I Am not through or done with those things that I Am bringing forth from you. You have not begun to see what great things are in you but get ready, get ready for I am opening up that seal, let it fill the earth.
 
     "But thanks be to God, Who in Christ always leads us in triumph [as trophies of Christ’s victory] and through us spreads and makes evident the fragrance of the knowledge of God everywhere, For we are the sweet fragrance of Christ [which exhales] unto God, [discernible alike] among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing:" (2 Corin. 2:14-15)
     "For His anger is but for a moment, but His favor is for a lifetime or in His favor is life.  Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning." (Ps. 30:5)
     "You have taken account of my wanderings; Put my tears in Your bottle.  Are they not recorded in Your book?" (Ps. 56:8)
 
Love,
