My children, today, I want you to surround yourself in My presence. I want you to invite Me to be a part of your entire day. I want you to have music that uplifts Me surrounding you in your atmosphere. I want you to allow My joy, happiness, and love to overflow out of you. I want you to just enjoy yourself with Me and to just let yourself be with Me. I want you to pour this joy and love into everything that you put your hands to do today. As you do this, you will be blessing all the things that you are doing and do it in My name, and it will be shared by all those around you.
I want you to praise Me and talk to Me as you go about your day. I want this praise to take root inside of you and just stir up and bubble up the joy that is inside of you. This is the joy knowing that I am your God, and I am with you. This is the joy knowing that I, your Father, love you with an everlasting love. I want to use this joy to start a new thing inside of you this very day. This is going to be a joy that will overtake you and allow you to start to see the light in this darkness. It is the joy that will give you laughter to heal the pain. It will be the joy that gives you the strength today to be able to enjoy all the things you do.
As you allow this joy to overtake you and allow My praise to be the song of your hearts today, then you will see that everyone you meet today, you will have a different kind of love and compassion for them. You will see a glimpse on how I see them. You will be able to pour this love out to them because you will allow Me to love them through you. This love will be one that will not come so hard as the days and years before. This is the love that I have been planting in you and fertilizing it, and growing it up inside of you. This is the love that I have been tending and making it stronger and durable that will not break as it pushes through all the dark things of this world.
Today, allow My praise to be a part of your life. Allow the music to flow throughout the atmosphere that you are in. Watch and feel how it will lift up the darkness and the heaviness of the atmosphere. Watch and feel how My presence will consume you, and you will feel the joy and love that I want you to feel and share today.
Allow these things to produce good fruit today in your lives and in the lives of others. Allow your hands to be a tool to begin My works in all the things you touch. Let it be touched with the love and joy that you are feeling in My presence. For as you do these things with the right heart, with My glory, My presence, My love, My joy, and My blessings, it will be able to overflow onto those who receive what your hands produce.
Surround yourself in My presence. Enjoy yourself in Me. Allow My joy and love to come forth out of your hands and out of you. Allow the laughter to bubble up inside of you and to just allow yourself the happiness that I want you to feel this day. Allow the fruit that you produce today to be good and a blessing to others and yourself. Allow My praises to sweeten the air and enjoy the atmosphere of My presence.
