“Take delight in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart.” —Psalm 37:4

I love you, My child! I know your trial has adversely affected what you normally like to do—share My Gospel. I do understand. But I need you to keep making yourself available so I can work through you, despite the pain you are experiencing. Okay? The other day, I really loved how you allowed Me to share the Gospel through you with that young man who cut your hair. Did you see how hesitant he was at first, but then he opened up as you started talking about My love? We’ll see him again. Most people who have heard of Me, who do not truly know Me, are like this. Deep down they yearn to have true intimacy with Me. They just don’t know how. The world runs contrary to having a relationship with Me. It either limits Me to some cosmic genie hoping to grant their wishes only when they need something. Or it dismisses Me all together. As such, so many people miss out on My true love. See, I love how you & I can talk just as we are now. I love when you pray to Me. I hear every word of yours, the spoken & unspoken. I love speaking back to you—when you’re quiet & contemplating Me. Or when you’re in My Word. I love our growing intimacy! My child, your trial will end one day. And you will experience joy again, I promise! When it does, I desire the intimacy of our relationship to continue to grow. Your trial has brought you close to Me like never before. When your joyous days return, let’s keep this growing intimacy going, okay? In lament, praise or thanks-giving, always delight in Me. And then you will continue to receive the true desires of your heart. Which is to be intimate with Me! I love you!

“You, God, are my God, earnestly I seek you; I thirst for you, my whole being longs for you, in a dry and parched land.” —Psalm 63:1

“See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him.” —1 John 3:1

“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” —John 3:16
