Are you weary, carrying a heavy burden? Then come to me. I will refresh your life, for I am your oasis. Simply join your life with mine. Learn my ways and you’ll discover that I’m gentle, humble, easy to please. You will find refreshment and rest in me. For all that I require of you will be pleasant and easy to bear.
Matthew 11:28-30
The Lord says,
Grace and favor for My people. I’m moving in grace and favor over My people, on behalf of My people. I will touch them with tangible expressions of My grace and favor, and they will be surprised and they will feel it and receive it as My love moving in their life.
And I will bring peace. Peace will descend on My people as a dove from the heavens. And it will bear the fruit of peace in it’s mouth. I Am sending a double portion of peace to My people. And it will kiss their skin and their souls, and they will be overwhelmed by My goodness, My graciousness and the way I tenderly care for them. My peace will revive their spirits and return the light of hope to their eyes. They will have sweet sweet rest and will live weary no longer.
My light will shine on My people afresh. And it will bring light to the ways they thought they knew to live. It will enlighten and reveal the things and the ways and the thoughts that were theirs but not of Me. And I will show them and thoroughly teach them My ways and My heart and My mode of operating. They will learn how to fully align their lives with Mine. They will learn how to walk in purity and obedience and trust for great adventure. They will finally see that in Me, they are secure like little children holding the hand of their Daddy. This life that I have for you in Me is about adventure and fun and trust. Walking in sync with Me, walking hand in hand with Me will bring delight to your soul, it will flood your heart with joy, and I will guide you and take you to places you never dreamed of.
Allow Me to enlighten your eyes. Allow me to show you the places in your life – in your heart, your mind, your ways of doing things that require change. Ask Me what abandon looks like – what abandon to walking with me, to living in delight with Me, to getting rid of old patterns and mindsets in order to find a new life of adventure with Me. Ask Me what that looks like and how together – you and I – we can clear out the old stuff and make room for a whole new life flooded with light and peace and the expectation of adventure.
A Glorious Time
The Lord says,
I Am drawing people to Myself. I Am drawing those who have been far, those who have not seen or understood or known or tasted My goodness. I’m clearing their vision and drawing their hearts to Me. It’s a beautiful sight to see these who have toughed out life for so long, who have done it on their own, under their own strength and have done what was right in their mind to the best of their ability for so long. It’s a glorious and beautiful thing to see them drop their bags of burden, of heartache, of mistakes, of depression of failures. And come to Me, to rush into My arms to receive me and My life of freedom. To trade their sorrow for joy and their aloneness for partnership with Me. It’s a wonderful sight to see them made like new, dazzling and in love, sitting at My feet and learning about My perfect ways, about My desires for good and for hope and for a bright future for each of them individually and for the world as a whole.
What a beautiful sight it is to see these new lovers bask in My Presence, freed of their burdens, released from their heartache, free from confusion and doubt – sitting with Me, eagerly learning My ways and just leaning into the light of My Presence. This is a very Glorious and Precious time in My sight.
I love these new lovers (of Christ) and I Am continuing to draw more to Me daily.
How to Respond
- If the Lord is drawing you near to Him, don’t resist. Drop your bags of burden where you are and ask Him to come in and dwell with you. Ask Him to show you how to dwell with Him and learn His ways and be released from the pressure of doing it on your own.
- Take time today to sit at His feet and dwell on His goodness. Open your Bible to Matthew and read it with fresh eyes. See how Jesus lived on Earth – with eyes of compassion and passion. Set religion and religious teachings aside, and just look at the truth, the reality of Jesus.
- Get outside. Enjoy nature, enjoy the fresh air. Take it in.
- Find reasons to laugh and just fill your heart with joy. Become a person who is quick to laugh and find joy in little things again.
