Joy

Written: September 2020

‘Speak Lord Your servant is listening.’
‘Come Holy Spirit. Come Holy Spirit. Come Holy Spirit.’

Joy is life with Me.
Look at the tree, swaying in the gentle breeze.
See how its branches cling to the trunk.
The roots find water; so, the lively leaves grow –
they search and drink from the well.

All is peaceful; change and growth, silently imperceptible –
for the Spirit moves freely, slowly, perfectly.
All that is in Me finds life.

Joy comes from a knowledge of Me –
Truth, deeply sought and loved, will yield hope and peace.
Find Me in the stillness.
Talk to Me, as a Friend –
the closest Friend you have…
with love, and honesty; hope and freedom.

I am waiting for you – forever; I am here.
I am bound to you, for I created you.

Do you love Me?
Are you looking for Me? I am the Key.
Ask Me to come into your heart,
and to bring light into earth’s darkness;
to find trust, in place of fear;
to find hope, and dispel all hurt,
all loss, all anger – all that robs you of joy.

I want you to ‘live life to the full’, with Me –
even on the stormy seas of this world,
for this world is passing away.
But I am here for eternity; share it with Me.
I offer you unconditional love.

Seek Me whilst I can be found –for this earthly stay is short.
Turn to Me and I will love you into life.
Believe Me, for I am Love and I sustain all life…
For I Am Life!
