Joy Begins with God, Seek Him First, Abide in Him, Abide in His Word (1.25.17)

My Child,
Joy begins with Me, My child, it begins in My presence.

When you abide in Me and let My Word abide in you, every need you have will be fulfilled. It is only when you look for other things, such as people to fulfill your needs, that loneliness and sadness enters your life. When you find yourself saying, there is something missing, and a hunger for something deeper takes over you - know that I Am the One you are looking for.  I Am the joy that is missing in your life.

Yes, I Am the One that you are looking for.
I Am the One that you need to have in your life always.

If you spent your time delighting yourself in Me, those desires in your heart would line up with My Word and overtake you; because you sought Me first. You see, when you seek Me first, you will also be able to enjoy other pleasures that I have given you in this life, but it won't happen until I Am First. As I said, Joy begins with Me, it begins in My Presence, and no one else will be able to fulfill the emptiness you are feeling in your life.

Looking for other things, or anyone else, to meet the needs of your heart is a waste of your time. Come to Me, talk to Me, open up to Me, share your fears and concerns with Me.

Come, and let Me be a part of your life every day.

Allow Me to be ever-present in your life, and when darkness tries to overtake you, the Holy Spirit will be the Light that will show you the path to take.

You see, light and darkness are both alike to Me;
and if you walk with Me, you shall walk in the light.

Oh come, and abide with Me this day, and My Light will fill your day with joy and My presence.

Come and abide with Me this day, for I Am what you've been searching for, I Am what you need.

Come, for there is no limit to what My joy will do in your life.
