The LORD is saying: “Every day I have wanted you.  In your times of being alone I have always seen you, and waited for your response to My Presence.

You have avoided meeting the eyes of those you pass by.  You have kept quiet around those you won’t talk to.

You have watched other people walking by, hand in hand; you have seen the older people holding hands too. 

You have seen them also look into the eyes of those with whom they have lived, loved and have been walking together, hand in hand, knowing full well who is loving them in return.

Every day I see you,” says The LORD.

“My eyes are upon you day and night, and I am always aware of what you see, what you feel, and I also see what you need. I know what it will take for you to look to Me,” says The LORD.

“I know what it will take for your eyes to see Who it is that is calling you by name.  I know what it takes for your spirit to hear My Voice. 

Your spirit truly is hearing what I am saying to you, but your unbelieving heart is blinding you to the truth.

The truth is, I have loved you with an everlasting Love, and I AM, every moment giving you glimpses of grace.

I give you glimpses of My grace to soften the hardness you have been holding onto.  A dry riverbed cannot absorb a torrent of water.

But gentle rain will soften it day by day, to soften the hardened riverbed so that life can dwell there again.

I AM giving you the gentle rains that you have needed, so that you will see Who it is that has loved you with an everlasting Love.

The hardness is being washed away, and you are receiving a gentle drenching of My outpouring over you, and it is transforming you, more than you understand right now.

You are entering into a new period in your life that will bring you into My Presence to see and comprehend the Love of Christ that surpasses knowledge.

The Love you have avoided is doing more of My perfect work in you.  You are Mine.

I AM turning your mourning into dancing.  I AM putting off of you that which you have identified yourself with.

I AM putting upon you festive robes and a new identity that is showing Who you really belong to.  You will see in the days ahead a new way of believing Me and believing My Voice.

My own people know My Voice and they follow Me,” says The LORD.

“It is not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit,” says The LORD.
