‘My Lord, in Psalm 119, David says, “Remember the words of your servant in which you have caused me to hope,.” My Lord, you are my love and my only hope. I proclaim you as my king and glory. For in you, O Lord, I hope you will hear, O Lord, my God.

Yes, take me as you desire.’

“Rest, my son, rest.

Yes, rest within the joy and the glory of my heart. Seek me in faith and you shall always find me waiting for you.”

I am now having a vision of Jesus. He is standing before me with his hands open, extended in love and in the holy glory of his Cross and resurrection. I can see the wounds of his stigmata and the joy of the light of all that is good in him.

“My son, come to me, let me embrace you. You do not have to run. Yes, my child, you do not have to run. But rest in me, for I shall fulfill all things and in the moment your heart is elevated into a state of grace and peace of hope in my holy presence, that is only love.

Yes, my son, sing of love, sing of the eternal hope of your Savior and let me take you to new heights of love.”

In Ephesians 6, Paul said, “Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of his might.” Lord, our strength can only come from loving you. Our strength can only come by giving our hearts to you fully.

My soul sings in the glory of the Lord. And as in Psalm 39, David said, “And now, Lord, what do I wait for? My hope is in you.” Increase my hope each day. You said it is a gift, so I ask, and love being a gift as well, I ask to love you so more, and faith, I ask for an increase.

Take me with you and may your Spirit of Life fill me in your holy love.’
