The angel replied, “I am Gabriel. I stand in the presence of God, and I have been sent to speak to you and to bring you this good news.
“This is what the Lord has done for me when he looked favorably on me and took away the disgrace I have endured among my people.”
---- my own,
The time is coming when I will change your sorrow into joy, your mourning into shouts of joy, and your grief into laughter and dancing. No longer will you be desolate, no longer will your heart be heavy within you, no longer will you sigh sorrowfully and think to yourself, "Where is My God whom I love and in whom I have placed all my trust." No longer will you go about feeling oppressed by the enemy. I will lift the burden that has laid you low and crushed your spirit. I speak words of consolation and healing, and I breathe new life and power into you and those you love, whom you plead for before Me night and day. I have spoken, and all that MY WORD had declared will come to pass. I AM GOD and not man. Trust Me, have faith. Lift up your head, straighten your shoulders, behold Your God is coming, He rides the dawn like a Bridegroom who comes for his bride, and you are my bride. You are espoused to Me. Be not afraid, ---- mine, it pleases My Father to give you and those you love all that you ask of Him through Me. All you need to do is be still and wait in joyful anticipation for the wondrous new thing that I AM about to do. Wait, pray with thanksgiving, with praise, and joyous expectation. It will happen, it is already here.
