My children, I want you to renew your commitment, covenant, and destiny with Me. Many of you have become weary, hopeless, tired, anxious and doubtful. You are forcing yourself to do what you said you would. Your heart is not on fire for me as it used to be. You have shifted your focus off of the reason why you should be doing the things I have asked. You have chosen instead to focus on the negative things and your circumstances.

Patience is something you need rooted deep inside of you. This is one fruit you need to have in abundance. The fruit of patience is also one of the biggest parts of walking in love because love is patient. It also brings peace and trust in Me. It allows for more and more growth. If you are focusing on Me, patience will not be an issue.

Many of you have lost your patience and this has caused your flame to dim. You have started to serve Me out of desperation and the fear of going to hell. Instead, you should be rejoicing that you are coming to heaven with Me. You do your tasks in My body as a chore given by a hard task master. It should be a gesture of love for Me. You think of all the reasons why you should not be doing what I have asked instead of enjoying the beauty and miracles that come from it.

I so desire for My children to celebrate and enjoy serving in My kingdom. I want you to get pleasure out of your assignments, destiny, ministry and walk with Me. I want you to laugh and be excited just to know I am here at all times. I want to show you the good in everything, no matter how dark it may seem.

It is time to refuel the fire and passion you once had in Me and allow it to increase. You need to get back to you and I doing things together. No matter what I ask, you should be doing it for Me and not man. When you put your eyes on man, the flame begins dim and the enemy uses this to his advantage. Sometimes he even convinces you that I am a harsh task master and a slave driver. He uses this time to overwhelm you with things that make you forget why you serve Me at all. Do not allow these lies to come into your life.

You need to come closer to Me instead of moving further away. Recommit to Me and allow the joy of serving Me to return. Renew your heart and mind so you can get the passion back to fulfill your destiny and assignments. Enjoy your life in Me instead of always looking for the bad and dreading the circumstances around you.

It is time to renew your covenant with Me and see that I am a God that desires you to serve Me with pleasure. I do not want you to feel forced or fearful. That pushed My love out and you never really give your all willingly. I want you to see the truth and know Me as you should. It is time to go further and allow your passion and fire to be rekindled. Let it burn even brighter so that you can do the things you have said you would with the right heart and mind.

Come and renew yourself in Me. Let Me take away all those things that have stolen your patience. Renew your mind and line it up with My word and plan for you. It is time to recommit to Me. I want you to do this prepared to have fun and enjoy yourself. As you do, your patience will increase and last much longer in every situation and trial that you face. Take back your passion. Renew yourself and receive refreshment to continue on. Let Me take away the lies and get rid of the false impressions the enemy has given you about Me.

Enter into praise today. Let loose and be free of all the self-imposed limitations that you have allowed to keep you down. Enjoy yourself and do the things that you do for Me with a joyful heart knowing that I am pleased with you.

I love you and I want you to enjoy your work in My kingdom, no matter what it is. I want you to look forward to every new chapter and path as you walk out your destiny. Let joy come and allow it to make your life better.

“I will extol the LORD at all times; his praise will always be on my lips. My soul will boast in the LORD; let the afflicted hear and rejoice. Glorify the LORD with me; let us exalt his name together. I sought the LORD, and he answered me; he delivered me from all my fears. Those who look to him are radiant; their faces are never covered with shame. This poor man called, and the LORD heard him; he saved him out of all his troubles. The angel of the LORD encamps around those who fear him, and he delivers them. Taste and see that the LORD is good; blessed is the man who takes refuge in him. Fear the LORD, you his saints, for those who fear him lack nothing. The lions may grow weak and hungry, but those who seek the LORD lack no good thing. Come, my children, listen to me; I will teach you the fear of the LORD. Whoever of you loves life and desires to see many good days, keep your tongue from evil and your lips from speaking lies. Turn from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it. The eyes of the LORD are on the righteous and his ears are attentive to their cry; the face of the LORD is against those who do evil, to cut off the memory of them from the earth. The righteous cry out, and the LORD hears them; he delivers them from all their troubles. The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. A righteous man may have many troubles, but the LORD delivers him from them all; he protects all his bones, not one of them will be broken. Evil will slay the wicked; the foes of the righteous will be condemned. The LORD redeems his servants; no one will be condemned who takes refuge in him.” (Psalm 34, NIV)

“Brothers, think of what you were when you were called. Not many of you were wise by human standards; not many were influential; not many were of noble birth. But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. He chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things–and the things that are not–to nullify the things that are, so that no one may boast before him. It is because of him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God–that is, our righteousness, holiness and redemption. Therefore, as it is written: “Let him who boasts boast in the Lord.” (1 Corinthians 1:26-31)

“There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.” (1 John 4:18)

“A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.” (Proverbs 17:22)

“For, Whoever would love life and see good days must keep his tongue from evil and his lips from deceitful speech.” (1 Peter 3:10)

“All a man’s ways seem right to him, but the LORD weighs the heart.” (Proverbs 21:2)

“Am I now trying to win the approval of men, or of God? Or am I trying to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a servant of Christ.” (Galatians 1:10)

“Be careful not to do your ‘acts of righteousness’ before men, to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven.” (Matthew 6:1)

“But the LORD said to Samuel, “Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The LORD does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart.” (1 Samuel 16:7)
