As I was in the worship service today, Easter Sunday, I kept hearing how much the Lord loves His people. “They are My desire,” He said. “If they knew how much I had desired them while I waited for their lives to begin, it would change how they felt about living their lives. Being desired for a long time does that, and I have desired them from when I first knew them, before time began.”
The Lord then reminded me that Jesus “for the joy set before Him endured the cross, “ (Heb 12:2a). We are His joy. We are that trophy which Jesus suffered for, and are His new family, one-by-one as we come to walk with Him.
Sometimes we feel ashamed of ourselves, and discouraged with this present life. May I encourage you today and tell you that you are desired by Jesus. He waited a long, long time for you to live this life, and wants to walk every part of it with you. Amen
