FJWL_DFO:14
         It brings Me great joy to give you My Love, and to see you open and desirous of My Love. It pleases Me. But without faith it is impossible to please Me. Without faith it is impossible for Me to enjoy the pleasure of pouring forth My Love as freely and as abundantly as I would wish to, for your faith is what opens the door of your heart and life so that My Love may flow in.
         How do you find such faith to believe and receive My Love? Such faith is found in obedience. When you walk in obedience to Me and My Word and My will, then you have boldness. You have confidence, for you know that I will honor and bless you for your obedience, your yieldedness, your desire to please Me.
         Obedience and faith go hand in hand. The more you obey, the more faith you have that I will bless you. In your obedience you are drawing nigh unto Me. In your obedience you are creating a vacuum for My blessings and My Love. Your obedience gives you confidence to come boldly before My throne. Your obedience causes you to look around you with eager anticipation to see the manifestations of My Love in your life--which you know will be many because you know you have brought Me much joy and pleasure, as an obedient child brings to his father.
