FROM THE FATHER<br />
Focus—Joy Lies Ahead!<br />
MY BELOVED, I KNOW IT CAN BE HARD to think about<br />
joy when circumstances around you are anything but<br />
joyful. Negative words, disappointments, bad decisions,<br />
troubles…all of these things are distractions that can<br />
keep you from seeing the truth.<br />
I have good things in store for your life that will give<br />
you hope for the future (Jeremiah 29:11). Just as My Son<br />
was able to endure the excruciating suffering of death on<br />
the cross for the joy that was set before Him (Hebrews<br />
12:2), I have given you the power to endure anything that<br />
comes your way because of My deep, sincere love for you.<br />
Embrace that power and love. Stay focused on My<br />
goodness. Trust Me—I can hold your heart together<br />
through anything. Do not waste another minute of your<br />
life by replaying bad situations or decisions in your mind<br />
or grieving over past failures. There’s no need!<br />
My child, look forward confidently to the joy that lies<br />
ahead and know that I am always with you.<br />
