FJWL_01:288
         Great love! Great, wonderful, wonderful love! Joys of love! Joys of laughter! Joys of ecstasy! Joys, joys, joys! My children joy in My love. My children joy in My ecstasies! My children revel in them! They dance in them and whirl in them! They twirl and fly! Beautiful, beautiful love! Beautiful ecstasies! Wonderful!
         Oh that you, My children, would dwell in them more! But this world is too much with you. If you would only keep one foot in the Heavenlies, then your life would be so much more Heavenly and your joy would be full, because My Word would remain in you and My joy would be your strength in time of trouble. You would know the joys of trusting, of faith, of going forward, of going where you had not had the faith to go before.
         This world is too much with you--the cares of this world, the trials of this world. You limit My mighty hand, which has so much to give you. Bounties beyond your wildest dreams are available to you now, My children, if you would step through the gates of praise, the gates of My Word, the gates of My living Word, and would follow as I would have you follow--step by step, moment by moment, not doubting, not fearful, not complaining.
         Oh, it does break the heart of your father! Your father David longs for his children to have all that they need, all that they desire. He intercedes before Me, crying for you, saying, "Help them, help them! So many are heavy laden, so many are burdened, so many feel doubtful, so many wonder and wander." I say unto you, My children, the children of David, go forth! Go forth in the power of My might. But you can only go forth if you believe, if you trust, and if you listen to My voice inside you saying, "This is the way, walk ye in it."
         I have given you the written Word, begging you, My children, crying as a father cries over his lost ones, saying, "Believe My Word! Follow My Word! Trust My Word!" If you do, such great things are in store for you--such wonders, such joys, such ecstasies! But so few follow with all their hearts. So many follow with trepidation, with fear, and with uncertainty. Follow they do, but not with a whole heart. Oh that you would follow with a full heart, and then you would have full joy and fullness of life!
