My children, I am bringing in seeds of hope to be planted into your lives. I am bringing fresh living waters to come and water the lands of your hearts and bodies. I am bringing the warmth of My love and the comfort of My arms to grow these seeds of hope. I am bringing the food of My Words spoken to feed and nurture these seeds of hope. I have this wrapped in a package to be given and open to you. I have this prepared to be placed and planted by My hands for you.

This is what I desire to do for you today. It is a gift that brings Me great joy to give to you. It is My hope. My hope contains the ability to see the brightness in all things. My hope carries the vision of My light. My hope brings joy, peace, and security in Me. This hope needs to be built with solid roots firmly planted and fed with My Word and to be properly maintained. This hope is the key ingredient to bring forth the fruit that you are going to need to feed the souls during the darkness that is occurring.

The world needs My hope. They need to know that there is more and better for them. They need to see living examples of this. I want you to be this example. You must be living in My hope, but if you have not allowed the hope to grow inside of you, then you cannot give what you do not have. You cannot live what you do not know.

Open yourself up and allow Me to till the ground of your heart and let Me fertilize so that I can plant in you this gift that I have for you. Let Me prepare you completely to be able to get things in order so that the roots will grow deep and will not be pulled out by any storm, situation, or problem that you will face and the enemy will not be able to destroy it no matter how bad the battle gets.

You can open yourself up to allow these things to take place by entering into praising and worshiping Me. You can open yourself up by surrendering all those things that you allow to harden up your heart and your mind. You can open yourself up by giving Me full and complete control of your life and allow My Will to take place. You must be able to do this with your heart and live it out in your actions and not just come from your lips.

My children, please allow Me to give you this gift of hope today. Let Me plant this hope that you need. Let Me tend to the land of your heart and soften the areas that have been hopeless and hard. Let Me nurture it so that growth can take place and planning can take place again. Without this work the fruits of My spirit cannot take place correctly and will die in the midst of things if it is not corrected.

Enter into praise and worshiping Me. Put your eyes upon Me and surrender all. As you do this I will plant the gift of hope that I have for you. You will see the changes take place as the ground of your heart softens and growth begins again.
