Today My children, I want you to give Me all of your sorrow that you carry. There are many types of sorrow, pain, and grief. There are many types that each of you hold onto and today I want you to give them to Me. I want you to allow Me to drain every bit of it and replace it with My love, My joy, and My happiness. I want you to allow Me to fill it up with fulfillment of Me and the things of Me. Let Me close the gaps and holes of your life and bring satisfaction in your walk with Me.

I want you to give Me the sorrow of the things lost and not found each day. I want you to give Me the sorrow and grief of the unfinished desires, projects, and the unaccomplished tasks that you sought out to do for that day. I want you to give Me any and all triggers that have been built to remind you of the lost. If you do not empty these things out they become poison and suck out of you every bit of life and damage your hope and your faith. You begin to look at the loss and not the gained. You will have lingering gloom, doom, and despair until it suffocates you. You must let these things go and allow My Spirit to clear out all these things and allow My wind, My breath blow over you and bring fresh life back to you.

I want you to also give Me the grief and sorrow of the absence of a person in your life, temporarily and permanently upon this earth. You need to quit wanting what you do not have and really start looking and appreciating what you do have. Taking things for granted will cause you to miss out on many of the blessings that I have already given you and miss out on spots that have been filled. Taking things for granted will also cause you to miss the doors of the promises that I have given you to look forward to because you are too busy at looking at what use to be or might have been.

I did not promise you a rose garden, but even in a rose garden there are many, many thorns. The fragrance is sweet smelling and the beauty is easy on the eyes, but there is a price to pay when holding onto that garden. To hold onto that garden you must be very careful on how it is held and properly taken care of. You have to use the right things and in the right amount and treat it with love and patience. But even in a rose garden, if you do not take care of it, the bugs and disease will come and over take that rose and eventually the garden. To bring healing will take time, patience, and lots of love. Be so very careful on what you look your life to be because if you are only paying attention to things like the thorns or just the buds you are missing out on the whole picture, good and bad.

I want you to see your life as it truly is in Me. I want you to see through My eyes what I have given you and what I want you to do with it. I want you to see the many prayers I have already answered for you and exactly what I am requiring out of you in this time. Sorrow will only hold you back and continue to take you into the past. Grief will only continue to remind you of what you have lost. Leave these things in the past.

Enjoy what you have no matter how big or little it may be. Enjoy having Me with you and let go of all the misery that you carry around. Carry My love instead. Be clothed in My righteousness, My love, and My confidence. Know who you are in Me and let Me fill in those areas that you have allowed sorrow to remain.

Quit looking through the eyes of pain and of sorrow. Look through My eyes. Look to the heart and not what your physical eyes see. Do not bring judgment onto those who you have based your own opinion on them but instead love them and deal with them as I have shown you to do. To do this you must let go of your sorrow, your loss, and your grief. Let Me heal you. Let Me take these things away and look at these things in a new way.

Let My love, My joy, and My happiness come alive in you once again. Let your hope and faith be risen and allowed to blossom, bloom, and expand. Let Me take out the weeds and poison of sorrow and let healing and peace take place. Let go of those grave clothes of sorrow and take on My clothes of life. Let Me remove all seeds, roots, and plants of sorrow, grief, and pain of all kinds that are lingering in there and be brought back refresh, renewed, and overjoyed in what I am doing in your life.

“He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.” (Revelation 21:4, NIV)

“Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God.” (2 Corinthians 1:3-4)

“Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.” (1 Peter 5:7)

“Brothers, we do not want you to be ignorant about those who fall asleep, or to grieve like the rest of men, who have no hope.” (1 Thessalonians 4:13)

“Be merciful to me, O LORD, for I am in distress; my eyes grow weak with sorrow, my soul and my body with grief. My life is consumed by anguish and my years by groaning; my strength fails because of my affliction, and my bones grow weak.” (Psalm 31:9-10)

“What causes fights and quarrels among you? Don’t they come from your desires that battle within you? You want something but don’t get it. You kill and covet, but you cannot have what you want. You quarrel and fight. You do not have, because you do not ask God. When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures.” (James 4:1-3)
