Let the eyes of your spirit be opened, My child, to discern My rewards in your life.
I have much to give you, even above the treasures I have already heaped upon you and liberally poured out within your existence.
Where is the praise this should engender? Where is the thankful heart lifted up in worship? Where is the joy that strengthens your hands and straightens your back and lifts you to your feet, ready and confident in the work laid out before you?
Do not allow My grace to become commonplace to you, My dear one. Stir up your heart, rekindle the fire within. Clear out the ashes and allow the breath of the Father to blow on the fire of the Spirit and ignite the truth of the Word in your life, bringing a renewed appreciation of what you have received from My hand.
Enumerate it, My precious one, declare it before Me and name each blessing, gift, provision, favor, advantage, bonus, protection, benefit, profit, asset, and value that is in your life now because you name My name and confess Me as your Savior and Lord.
You cannot remain downhearted or gloomy as My truth comes from your lips. The ache of your wounded heart and bruised spirit is eased as you declare the evidence of My eternal loving-kindness and bottomless compassion toward you. The heavy anxiety and pressing care you have labored under lightens and lifts when you turn your eyes toward Me and your thoughts are focused on what is excellent and praiseworthy.
Do not overlook the prizes gained within your soul from the unpleasant experiences and the fiery trials you have walked through, My love. The bright and happy times are to be enjoyed, but the true treasure of Godly wisdom and refined faith only emerge from the stormy times that I walk through with you.
Know that you are esteemed and valued, My close one, and never doubt My love for you. Speak of My hand in your life and My work in your heart often to others, for where two or more are gathered in My Name, I am there to unite you in the joyful strength of My Spirit.
