Do not be afraid. The love of the Lord is like a curtain surrounding you, like a veil which secures your privacy from the world.

My precepts are written on your heart, so do not be in anguish that you will not please Me. I want happy, joyous children—children who will mirror My personality to the world. I am not a God of sadness and sorrow. I am a God of mirth, victory, gaiety, salvation and love.

Is My word not good news to all mankind? Have you ever heard it called bad news? True, there is an area of My heart which is grieved over lost ones in this world. I would have them for My own, but this was preordained. It must be so as it was from the beginning that all will not follow after Me.

But the glory of the Lord is that He is goodness and Light and the Light has overcome the darkness and always shall. I would have My children smiling, full of My light and glory so that you would not give the appearance that you are children of darkness.

Glow…shine…let the beauty and brightness of your Father of Light be seen in you. Selah.

“But let the righteous be glad; let them exult before God; Yes, let them rejoice with gladness.” (Psalm 68:3). Read 2 Corinthians 3:18 and John 1:9.
