The Sunshine of His Love Pt. 1

Words from Jesus Nov 26, 2015

(Note from Maria Fontaine: If you’re having one of those rough days or weeks, here are some words from Jesus to cheer you up, to help you to see past the clouds and the rain of discouragement, and to see the sunshine of His love that is always there. No matter how dark things seem around you, you can overwhelm that darkness with praise, until there’s no room left for the gloom!)

It’s been a tough day and a rough week, as “problems tumbled about you, and heavier came each task,” and while you longed to “see joy and beauty,” “the day toiled on, gray and bleak.”

I’m really sorry about that. My heart goes out to you. Into every life, a little rain must fall, and sometimes it seems more like a downpour than a drizzle! You look up and see dark clouds and gloomy skies stretching across the horizon.

But it never lasts forever, you know. In fact, those rain clouds and the rain itself are just a tiny layer of gloom when compared to the millions of miles of sunshine and warmth and light above you, which is only hidden from your sight for a little while. The rain and the clouds will pass, your day will once again be sunny, and the weather forecast for eternity is blue skies and smooth sailing forever!

There’s a lot to be thankful for, even in the midst of the storm, and praising Me for the good helps to drive the rain and clouds away. You can be thankful if you’re so far down that you can only go up, that things can only get better. You can be thankful for the clouds and the rain, the trials and tears that help your spirit to grow.

You can be thankful if you feel like a mess, because then you know that only I can do anything good through you. You can be thankful that in you, in your flesh, dwells nothing good, because then there’s more room for Me to live and move and work through you.1

In everything give thanks. Praise Me in the midst of problems and mistakes, shortcomings and failures, your weaknesses and lacks. Praise Me for My love, care, help, mercy, grace, and salvation. As you do this, the gray skies will clear, the rain will stop, the sun will come out, and the Sun of Righteousness will send warm and comforting rays of peace, hope, and strength down upon you, brightening your day and illuminating your way!

1 Romans 7:18.
**
Gloriously saved and wonderfully and completely delivered!

"The memory of evil years burned like a flame within my breast. -- And though I sought relief in tears, I found it not, I could not rest. My yesterday, so dark with shame, Christ has forgiven, Oh praise His Name!" -- We have been saved as brands from the burning and snatched from the Enemy's claws, and we should be very thankful. -- "For we have come from the darkness into His glorious light, and that which was darkened has become enlightened!"

The Lord had to break the chains. You couldn't deliver yourself. He had to purge and purify and cleanse. You're all clean now, no longer under the power of the Enemy. He can't harm or touch or control you any more. -- You're the Lord's possession now and the Devil can't get you back -- you're the Lord's forever! -- "Old things are passed away, all things are become new" (2Cor.5:17). -- Your whole life has been changed like a newborn baby born into a whole new world! -- A joyful recreation of a fun-loving life with a good sound body, clean heart, pure mind, and a new, regenerated, reborn spirit!

Now we can join hands and dance with Jesus! Now we can join hands with the children of the King! Now we're dancing and laughing and smiling -- Jesus has cleansed us from everything!
