         The joy of the Lord is your strength. How do you get this joy? It's actually very simple: Love Me with all your heart, with all your mind, with all your strength, and also remember to love others. Don't worry about what others may think, about their opinions. Just do the loving thing and the humble thing. In fact, people will love and respect you more for that!
         You are becoming a young man, and with this comes added responsibilities. As long as you have a loving heart--love for Me and love for others--I will be able to trust you with more responsibilities because I know you will do the right thing, the loving thing. As you continue to put Me first and the Word first and others first, above your own wishes, I will give you the desires of your heart.
         So remember to show outgoing love and concern for others, and I will fill you with My joy, My peace, My happiness.
