See these cups and jars full of the oil of gladness? Nay. These are not for you. Look further. I have vats and barrels overflowing with the oil of gladness for you. These will never run dry.
My desire is to make you glad and I will go to any lengths to make you glad.
My joy does not run dry. My joy flows and ebbs. My joy does not dissipate at the sound of trouble or distress. In fact, my joy grows deeper.
Do not let the troubles of this world harden your heart or to turn your face from Me. No indeed, run to Me. In my right hand is joy and gladness and in my left hand, I have salvation. Hold my hands firmly. Don’t let go.
Your feet are covered by Me. Your path is set by Me. Your journey is established by Me. Let this knowledge build you up and give you confidence.
I guide you by the hand. Follow Me with a simple trust and a blind faith. Sometimes it feels like you are blindly following after Me. But you don’t need your sight for you have Mine. Follow Me.
“and provide for those who grieve in Zion— to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the Lord for the display of his splendor.”
Isaiah 61:3
The Shepherd's Embrace
