Isaiah 61 “Love Note from Heaven”

When Jesus first started his ministry on earth, he stated exactly why he came in Isaiah 61.  It’s as if God was sending a LOVE NOTE from heaven, addressed directly to us.

I have paraphrased it and written it like a letter so you can better hear what God is saying to you.
My Beloved,

I am bringing you “Good News”…

I will bind up your broken heart and proclaim freedom for you who are held captive by your pain.

I will release you from darkness and rescue you in prison, even the prison of your own mind.

For MY favor, MY blessing, is upon you.

I will bring justice to those who hurt you.  They will not get away with it.  I will hold them accountable for their actions.

I will comfort you when you cry.

I will provide for your needs.

I will crown you with beauty, instead of ashes.

I will give you joy . . . TRUE JOY.

You will sing  to me.  Your face will no longer be downcast and your heart full of despair.

For I am so proud of you and what you are becoming.  You may not realize it, but you reflect Me and display my goodness for others to see.

For I will rebuild and restore those places in your life long devastated.  I will renew those things in your life and in your family that have been devastated even for generations.

I will bring others  alongside you to help.  You, too, will HELP others.  Many will come to know Me as a result of you sharing OUR LOVE story.

Instead of your shame, I will give you a double blessing.  Instead of disgrace, you will rejoice at the future I have planned for you.

And everyone who sees YOU will know that you are MINE.  You are MY BELOVED.
Sincerely,

God
