The happiness of the spirit is far above the happiness of the flesh. When you feel no joy in your heart and you shed tears, it is not because I have not given you happiness, for the happiness of the spirit is something you will always have with you. It is something that will never end, and not even the loneliest nights or the darkest clouds can take that away from you. The happiness of the flesh is temporal and a fleeting feeling--it comes and goes with your mood, with your surroundings, with the physical things that you see, touch and feel.
But the happiness of the spirit comes from knowing that I am your Husband, that I care, that I have honored you to be a part of My called and chosen few, one out of the masses, whom I have handpicked to be part of My Endtime Revolution.
I will explain to you the mystery of happiness of spirit. The happiness that I give is as constant as the sun. When the sun sets at night and disappears beneath the horizon, do you worry and fret that it has left forever? Do you say to another, "There is no more sun in our lives"? No, it is constant, and always there. Though the night comes and you cannot see it, yet you never doubt its existence, nor that it will rise the next morning. So is the happiness of spirit; though ever present, the night comes and you lose sight of it. Then is the time to trust, to lie down in the bed of love with Me and rest until morning, until it comes into sight again.
So come, My love, the night has nearly run its course and the sun will soon come into view. But do not try to rush it now; just lie down and rest these few hours with Me until the break of dawn. Let Me kiss you and caress you as your passion grows, and your desire to love Me in return wells up in you, until you can take it no more and your thoughts are of nothing else but loving and being loved by Me, feeling Me deep inside, until we explode together in such Heavenly bliss that it leaves all earthly loves and feelings in the dust.
