The Lord is saying: I Am here, and I Am with you. My loves, My children, rejoice this day for I have many blessings to give to you. These blessings have been ordained from the storehouses of Heaven to be given to you at this time. The valleys you have been in for a long time have made you weary and downcast, for the journey has been long, but now I want to encourage you today to receive from Me things specifically for you, to help you and to refresh your soul. Like a marathon runner who thirsts, I have placed stations of refreshments along the way to help you persevere to the finish line, and I see how weary you have become. So now look to Me throughout your days and see the blessings that I give to you. These may be many small things, or they may be many large things, but all come from Me to help you. If you see a brother or sister who has stumbled, lend them a hand and help them on their path, as many of these blessings will come from others. It is in community that My children flourish. Hold out your hands that I may fill them with good things, and when you share these with those around you, then I will refill your hands with more, as there is an eternity of blessings waiting for you and this well will never run dry.
Luke 6:20-23 (ESV) And he lifted up his eyes on his disciples, and said: “Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God. 21 “Blessed are you who are hungry now, for you shall be satisfied. “Blessed are you who weep now, for you shall laugh. 22 “Blessed are you when people hate you and when they exclude you and revile you and spurn your name as evil, on account of the Son of Man! 23 Rejoice in that day, and leap for joy, for behold, your reward is great in heaven; for so their fathers did to the prophets. 24 “But woe to you who are rich, for you have received your consolation. 25 “Woe to you who are full now, for you shall be hungry. “Woe to you who laugh now, for you shall mourn and weep. 26 “Woe to you, when all people speak well of you, for so their fathers did to the false prophets. 27 “But I say to you who hear, Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, 28 bless those who curse you, pray for those who abuse you. 29 To one who strikes you on the cheek, offer the other also, and from one who takes away your cloak do not withhold your tunic either. 30 Give to everyone who begs from you, and from one who takes away your goods do not demand them back. 31 And as you wish that others would do to you, do so to them. 32 “If you love those who love you, what benefit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them. 33 And if you do good to those who do good to you, what benefit is that to you? For even sinners do the same. 34 And if you lend to those from whom you expect to receive, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, to get back the same amount. 35 But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return, and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, for he is kind to the ungrateful and the evil. 36 Be merciful, even as your Father is merciful.
(Isa 40:29-31; 2 Cor 9:8-11; Heb 10:24-25)
