God is replacing your SHAME, with DOUBLE PORTION!
And you will be called priests of the LORD, you will be named ministers of our God. You will feed on the wealth of nations, and in their riches you will boast. Instead of their shame my people will receive a double portion, and instead of disgrace they will rejoice in their inheritance; and so they will inherit a DOUBLE PORTION in their land, and everlasting joy will be theirs. (Isaiah 61:6-8)

No matter how exhausted you feel, be encouraged. Know that you would not be attacked by the enemy of your soul, unless you were a threat. Yahweh is with you and keeps you in perfect peace even in the middle of the storm. You will grow through this and come out on the other side stronger. Wait on Yahweh and rest in his grace!
Do not give up because it is time for Breakthrough and soaring on eagle’s wings!
Don’t you know? Haven’t you been listening?
Yahweh is the one and only everlasting God,
the Creator of all you can see and imagine!
He never gets weary or worn out.
His intelligence is unlimited;
he is never puzzled over what to do!
He empowers the feeble
and infuses the powerless with increasing strength.
Even young people faint and get exhausted;
athletic ones may stumble and fall.
But those who wait for Yahweh’s grace
will experience divine strength.
They will rise up on soaring wings and fly like eagles,
run their race without growing weary,
and walk through life without giving up. (Isaiah 40:28-31 TPT)

Sometimes we feel like something is wrong with us because something hasn’t happened. Don’t allow what hasn’t happened to measure how valuable you are.

Has irritation with another person, grown into obsession with their flaws? Their actions resulted in a reaction of frustration mixed with anger because their thorns caused you pain. You wanted them to change.
God, at this point, began to show you that you had the same things operating in your life. Your intolerance stemmed from the same faults in yourself. This person sharpens you like knife honed until it is sharp, due to the reset of the blade. The things that cause you grief make your character more like Jesus. Thank the Lord, for this one’s presence in your life and forgive.
In the same way that iron sharpens iron, a person sharpens the character of his friend. (Proverbs 27:17 VOICE)

If God hasn’t spoken to you, don’t make up anything. God wants our hearts not our words…
Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying,
This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me. But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. (Matthew 15:7-9 KJV)
And the book is delivered to him that is not learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I am not learned. Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men: Therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvellous work among this people, even a marvellous work and a wonder: for the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent men shall be hid.” (Isaiah 29:12-14 KJV)
Some things are better caught (in the heart) and not taught (in the mind). When it’s in the head, it can be taken away, but when it’s in the heart, it remains.

True sons and daughters of the Lord will endure, and receive correction, endure hardness, as a good soldier, and grow through adversity.
True employees will obey their employers, communicate positively, and do their work heartily, to the Lord.
But the carnal, stubbornly rebellious, and immature, never will…Selah

The Lord says:
Do you have the same hunger for me as you have for food, possessions, comfort, and entertainment? Do you long to eat and drink the delicacies of my spiritual food and drink, more than anything else? I desire to sup with you but you are too busy. My heart yearns for you to spend more time with me, so I can satisfy your true thirst and hunger.
Rest and worship, as did the woman, who desired my presence more than the approval of men. She broke her alabaster box and poured its costly precious perfume, on my head, as fragrant worship that remained with me, when I laid down my life for you. (Matthew 26:6-13)
I long for worshipers that desire me more than anything else. It is time for you to cry out to me: Make me more hungry and thirsty for you, Jesus!
Oh, who will pay the price, to truly worship me, seeking me with their whole heart? Come away with me, my beloved.
“He has brought me to his banqueting place, And his banner over me is love [waving overhead to protect and comfort me]. (Song of Songs 2:4 AMP)

Love is the New Deliverance. If you want someone to change or be touched, simply Love them like the Father loves you.
