Heart Journey, 121-125

Ring bells ring 
Let the anthems of adoration swell in majesty 
Let the sleeping souls be roused to proclaim 
The salvation of the king 
Let the healed and the hurting cry hallelujah 
Let the tortured and abused rise and dance with joy 

Ring bells ring 
While the Holy Spirit sings 
About liberation and life and love 

Ring bells ring 
Listen it is time 
For King Jesus to sing 
Let Father God clap His hands with delight 
Let His roar of triumph resound again and again 
Ecstasy and joy 
It is time 
For King Jesus to sing 

Blessed is the room of loneliness 
That will take you into His incredible friendship. 
Blessed is the darkness 
That will lead to a pure inner light. 

Blessed are you O cherished child of God. 
For you will be a child of laughter again. 
A beacon of light into the darkness. 
A song of peace in a storm of confusion. 
Yes, blessed are you O precious 
And cherished child of God. 

Blessed are you who stays the course, 
For the King will reward them 
Beyond any of their dreams. 
Blessed are those who build community 
For the sake of Christ. 
Their deeds and sacrifice will be cherished 
In the city of heaven. 

Blessed are those who 
Treasure the word of God. 
They will be a fountain of life. 

Blessed are those who rest in the promises 
Of the King. 
They will be strong and swift 
And bold now and forevermore. 

My single purpose is to be one with you.
My ultimate goal is to form yo in the image of my son.
My greatest desire is to accomplish my work through you.
For you shall share in my every treasure,
Triumph and victory.

You shall celebrate continually My presence and My joy.
There is no end to My love for you; no top, bottom, sides,
Beginning or end.
My love surrounds, engulfs and permeates you.
My mercy sweeps over you like waves of the sea.
My gentleness, kindness and tenderness for you
Will never run out.

My love for you cannot be contained.
It will consume all sin and imperfection.
I will always give you My best.
For I take great pleasure in you, even as you are now.
I will totally annihilate anything
That comes against you.
For I am the Lord and I love you,
Hopelessly,
And forever.

I am aware that you don’t know how to love Me, but I don’t mind; I am so eager to teach you that nothing else matters. My thoughts are not your thoughts, so I will show you Myself to you a little bit at a time. 

I am your Abba Father. There is always room for you in My arms and on My lap. When I see your face, I am reminded of My face. When I see you, I am reminded that I created you in My image. Your laughter is like mine in My ears. Your tears come from My own eyes. Your song is the same one that comes from My lips. Try and understand how close you are to Me, My child. 

How can I not love you? I cannot bear to turn away from you. Do not be embarrassed by My love; how can I be otherwise? I can see you in this way, because of what my Son Jesus did for you. Do not waste time grieving over your sins, because they melt away before My fierce love for you. My breath of compassion and mercy then blows them away. They will never be seen again. Just ask for My forgiveness. I have put you in this world so you can learn to be My child. I am using you to tell My own children how they can be My children, too. 

Don’t worry about how to come to Me. I will come to you. I cannot resist when you call My name. Stay near to Me, and I will pour out my goodness, peace and love upon you. This will overwhelm your hurt and the misunderstanding that comes from this world. 

I love you just as you are. I will give you Myself, and you will become more and more like Me. Wait at My feet. You will receive the vision of you that I have made you to be. You are My child now and forever. Even now, I hold you in My arms, pouring out My affection for you. 

With Everlasting love, 
Your Poppa 

You see, My child, this is all my doing. I do this with great delight and love, so that my joys and your joys will become one. 

What unspeakable joy it is! I long to explain it, but you would not understand it now. This doesn’t matter, for the work of the Holy Spirit is perfect and irreversible. You will have an eternity to enjoy Me and My love for you. All of this is to come, and you will learn more of it later. 

It is my desire that you learn more and more about how to respond to My love. It is important that you see yourself with great respect. You are holy. You are an eternal being. You will rule with Me in the heavenly places. You will have My mind. You will be burning with My love and be filled with My desires. 

You will not remember things as they are now: I will wipe every tear from your eyes and remove every hurt from your heart. There will be no doubt only complete trust. Yet, this is only the beginning of what I have for you. You are filled with wonder and unbelief, I know. I have said that you are holy, because I see you with the eyes of My son Jesus, who has already accomplished My perfect plan for you. 

It is important that you treat yourself with great respect, so that my working in you will draw to Me those who do not know Me. My child, have My image and My holy nature, and you will only continue to grow in your awareness of it. I will surely draw near to you again soon, to refresh and renew you. Keep desiring to sit on my lap so that I can be the Father to you that I so long to be. Wait at My feet, so that I can reveal the riches of My grace and My complete love for you. 

With Everlasting Affection, 
Your Father
