-Lord, you know how much I want to live my life out of that secret place...experiencing the great mystery that in You I live and breathe and have my being.

+I daily give you images to help show you how to enter into the deeper place. All around you, My voice is reminding you who I am and who you are in Me. For example, as you hold your cup of hot coffee and enjoy the warmth transferred to your hands, I show you how, when you are filled with the warmth of My Presence and Love...like the cold china absorbing the heat...you absorb My essence and it radiates out to those who touch your life. So too with your fragrant candle. Unlit, it has only the potential of fragrance and light and warmth, but when the flame is burning (when you live out of Me - Christ in you the Hope of Glory) there is energy and warmth...light and fragrance.

You belong to Me. Let me show you how to enjoy light and warmth throughout this day. It's not complicated. Simply be filled with thanksgiving and praise. These are the substance of Heaven and they create a space for the Kingdom on earth. They prove to your Father that you know He is only GOOD and always, always worthy of praise. And so you become a vessel of clay...warm with the wonder of My Love. You become that light on the lampstand...giving vision and hope in the darkness and cold. Thanksgiving and Praise....Thanksgiving and Praise...of these there are no limits. They make the invisible visible. They affirm the resounding truth that God is ONLY GOOD....forever and ever!

Rejoice! This is the day Your Lord has made. Rejoice and be glad in it! This is how to bring my Light and Warmth to a dark, cold world. This is what happens when we are ONE. JOY JOY JOY!
