Lasting Joy // Believing It's Here for YouSample

Planting

My darling, let Me create something new within you today. I plant seeds of hope within you, and I promise to bring you joy.

Do you believe I can and I will? Truly, do you believe?

Do you now ask what will it require, this planting?

Do you wonder what you have to give to receive gifts of hope?

May I ask you—is there somewhere else that you could receive these gifts, on your own?

You have a choice: receive the gifts—my gifts to you, my daughter—or not. But you can’t find hope on your own. And you can’t find joy on your own.

Do you believe I can give these gifts to you? Do you believe I want to?

Why worry about what the gifts will require of you to receive them?

It is your willingness to receive the gifts that make my cost of giving them to you worth it. I give them to you before you can receive them because I have made you, too.

You are a gift to my heart, my beloved girl. I want to give you good gifts. Believe that I am for you, child, not against you.

The requirement of receiving hope and joy is trusting Me more than yourself, loving Me more than yourself. And I give you this gift, too, to be able to do that.

Do you open your heart to receive that gift, too?
