                           Hope

Hope; I bless you with it today. Your spirit longs for Me and I shall 
fill it. My Spirit comes to you this day in a way as never before, even 
greater than in the upper room. Open your heart to Me, invite Me to come 
as Your Lord and Savior. I will answer that prayer beyond what you can 
imagine.

Lay down those things that keep you from Me. You believe that without 
them you cannot live. Let Me show you life in My Spirit! Such peace, 
such joy, all for you, rest in Me those of you who are heavy burdened, 
comfort is within Me for those of you who grieve.

I am the I AM and I have called you. You are as important to Me as 
Abraham. You are a Sara waiting for the blessing of life, in spite of 
how things seem. I bless you. I lay My Hand on you. I wash the scales 
from your eyes and I open your ears. Stand up and walk in My Name. I 
have come that you might live.

So rejoice--get on your knees and open your hearts to Me that I might 
bless you!  So be it.
