My child, as you connect to Me and live in My heart,
you will be filled with My hope and goodness.

And you need this!
Everyone needs this.
My goodness comes in My truth and mercy.

You need My presence to be able to live in this.
It is My very presence that gives you the security to be able to:

hear someone who has a contrary opinion
love someone who is explosively angry
diffuse accusatory attacks
release My truth and mercy in a way that can be heard

In My presence you can embrace others without taking it personally
and without being caught up in offense
The security of My presence is how you walk in peace during this time.

~ This is why the enemy so desperately wants to keep you separated—to keep you out of My life-giving presence.
~ This is why he wants to get you caught up in the drama of what’s going on.

Refuse this!

How?

By soaking Me in and letting Me fill you.
By fixing your gaze upon Me and receiving My goodness for yourself first.

Once you receive it, it will flow from you like a dripping wet sponge.
You don’t even have to even try to release it when you’re saturated in Me.

The light of My glory—My goodness—will burn away and override everything else,
and it will draw others in.
As you live in the center of Me, I will rise up in the midst of everything you face.

There is no fear in Me.
Nothing is bigger than Me.
Nothing can overtake you when you’re sustained in My presence.

Live in Me, and you will live from all that I have.
