Some of you are beginning to feel a little something trying to bubble up in your heart. It’s been so long since you’ve felt it, you’re not sure what it is.

 

You may not have even realized it left.

 

Hope deferred has made the heart so sick that you’re afraid to even hope again. The thought scares you. And the idea of yet another disappointment, well, triggers you before anything has even happened. You’ve already played out the worst case scenarios, yes?

 

The “What ifs” come running back and silence the living water that has begun to stir in you.

 

Friend, it’s JOY.

JOY is coming home.

 

Christ is restoring the JOY of your salvation and the JOY that used to cause you to dream with Jesus like a little child.

 

You’ve become way too cautious now. Unable to walk in faith. To dream again is now a lost thought.

 

Ohhh that devil is so happy with himself. He has convinced you of a lie.

 

The lie that “good” happens to everyone else, but not to you.

 

The.devil.is.a.liar!

 

The very essence of God is good and He still has plans to prosper you, not to harm you.

 

There is no demonic plan that can erase the one God put in place for you before you were one day old….only believe.

 

Every mistake has been figured in, all free-will failures are covered too.

Way back then, He made a way for victory.

 

I say a lot around here, “If you took a wrong turn with a right heart, God says He gives you every place your footsteps, so trust Christ and “just take that land too!”

 

Sovereignty is security no matter what happens in your life. Suffering comes to us all. Yet there is a Savior who suffered also to be able to help us in every season.

 

So, hey, let the JOY rise in you, friend.

Jesus is inviting you to “dream again” with Him.

 

He loves to watch you soar on wings like eagles. But you must be willing, even if you’re scared, to mount up.

 

So, here comes JOY, JOY, JOY!!!

 

…home at last.
