The Lord is saying: I Am here, and I Am with you. I keep you close even when you don’t feel like it. I Am closer than a brother to you, and yet there are times when you feel like I Am a million miles away. These are times for introspection and resolve, My loves. I allow these times so that you have opportunity to seek Me and to realize how special our relationship truly is. There is nothing in the universe that is more important than you are to Me, but sometimes you forget this truth. What better way to rekindle our relationship than to make you long for Me in different ways and at different times. I Am watching your every move, and My loves, when you run to Me, there is nothing that brings more joy to Me than when a child of Mine runs to Me over all things. This is the relationship that I long to have with each of you – that your love for Me compel you to forsake all things to be in My presence. This is precisely what My son, Yeshua, did for you when He laid down His life on the Cross that you may have full access into My presence. This is summed up in one word: Joy!
Rom 8:1-11 (ESV) There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. 2 For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death. 3 For God has done what the law, weakened by the flesh, could not do. By sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, he condemned sin in the flesh, 4 in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. 5 For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit. 6 For to set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace. 7 For the mind that is set on the flesh is hostile to God, for it does not submit to God's law; indeed, it cannot. 8 Those who are in the flesh cannot please God. 9 You, however, are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if in fact the Spirit of God dwells in you. Anyone who does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to him. 10 But if Christ is in you, although the body is dead because of sin, the Spirit is life because of righteousness. 11 If the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit who dwells in you.
