Nehemiah 8:10 Nehemiah said, “Go and enjoy choice food and sweet drinks, and send some to those who have nothing prepared. This day is holy to our Lord. Do not grieve, for the joy of the LORD is your strength.” NIV
I prayed, dear holy Father, I continue to want things for myself. You have been dealing with me for a long time on this. It is time I let go. I will read and write as You lead. I will leave others alone. They are Yours. In Jesus Name. Amen.
And God said: Your party is a way for you to reach out to the ones you love. It is a way to speak to them of My grace and beauty. It is a way of loveliness to bring people together that have been separated, perhaps for years. You will enjoy your time together. You will worship Me with renewed vigor because of the joy that will be in your heart. Forgive them for not supporting you. Their ways are selfish. They are not My ways. Forgive them and remember this hurt no more. You shall invite them all.
Only those who love you shall come, but it will be enough. Those who are in error shall walk away but My purpose is being fulfilled in them now. Yes, your family member will come. It will be a great joy for you to see him again. It is wondrous the things I Am doing in him. He will be changed. He will not be the same person you saw two years ago. Then, he was of the enemy. Now, he will be Mine.
Do not despair. I Am with you and I shall encourage you. Your wants and desires shall come to pass once you give them all to Me. You just stand. Stand upon My Word and believe in Me today. Be ready for My rapture for I will be coming for My Bride. Be ready. Shalom.
And life is good when the Christ is in it. God loves you and so do I.
