New Every Morning!!! August 23 Notes from Papa via Paul Gray
To My very special child, who I always delight in,
Sometimes after you’ve experienced a dark night of the soul, you find it hard to believe that I delight in you… but I always do! I am fully with you and love you completely and totally, even-especially when things seem darkest to you.
At times when you worry, doubt yourself, blame yourself, wonder how you’re going to make it… I am with you and I am for you. I am never mad at you and I never ever condemn you. On the contrary, I (Jesus) know how you feel. I experienced fear, doubt, rejection, shame, blame… all of that times the total of all people forever… on the cross. I not only took all the sin of the world away, I took it on… I became your sin.
I experienced it all. It was so bad, it killed Me. The wages of sin really is death. I died. I experienced all the total horror, shame, depravity, blame, doubt… all the cumulative effects of evil and sin of all people. It so disfigured Me that I was unrecognizable. I willingly did that, knowing in advance what it would cost Me, for the joy of knowing the eternal benefit… being with you forever in Our Divine Triune circle dance of love, joy, peace and everything good. I would rather die than live without you…so I did!
I defeated sin, death, evil and the evil one at the cross. I triumphed over sin, death, evil and the evil one… for you! Now, when you are tempted to feel shame, have doubts, experience self-condemnation… I experience that with you, but as Christ, the Victor!
I know that I have already defeated it all for you. I know that these are but light and momentary troubles and afflictions for you that are fleeting, temporal and not lasting. I know that you are already in My Kingdom… I have transferred you from the kingdom of darkness into My Kingdom of light and life.
I know that My mercies are new every morning and that even when you experience the dark night of the soul, you will experience My love, peace and joy in the morning!
So now, today, I don’t want you to dwell on your dark night of the soul times, but I do want you to remember that I was with you during them all. I was guarding, protecting and strengthening you in order for you to fully experience the height, depth, width and length of My unconditional love, forgiveness and grace.
You must go through the dark night of the soul occasionally to be able to see, experience and enjoy My wonderful light. One day there will only be light!
~Love, Papa
