BELOVED,
LIVING IN COLLABORATION WITH ME can be a foretaste of heaven. It is
wonderful, though not easy. It requires a level of spiritual and mental
concentration that is extremely challenging. In the Psalms, David wrote about this collaborative way of living, declaring that he had set Me always before him.
As a shepherd, he had plenty of time to seek My Face and enjoy My Presence. He discovered the beauty of days lived with Me always before him - and beside him. I am training you to live this way too. This endeavor requires more persistent effort than anything else you have attempted. Yet, rather than detracting from your other activities, it fills them with vibrant Life.
Whatever you do, do it for Me - with Me, through Me, in Me. Even mental tasks glow with the Joy of My Presence when you do them for Me. Ultimately, nothing will be able to separate you from Me. So this you-and-I together venture can continue throughout eternity.
