Ruth writes: “In my quiet time, the Lord inspires me with thoughts of revelation and encouragement. I cherish these words, so record them in my journal. Some have been read to friends, who urged me to share more. The Lord impressed me that these thoughts were His and not just for me alone. For this reason, I have agreed to share some of my precious moments of inspiration in the Lord’s Presence. I pray they will be an encouragement to you, and you also will be inspired to listen for His thoughts in your quiet time.” ~Ruth Doggette

Abiding Joy

My first coming brought JOY to Mary and Joseph, to the Angels,the Shepherds, and the Wise Men. To those who gladly receive Me today, I still bring GREAT JOY! You can REJOICE that I have not left you without Me, but am inclose proximity to where you are! When you call, I answer! Asyou draw near to Me, I advance toward you. My love for you isGREAT! You do not need to bring Me down from above, nor up from thedeep – I am as near as the words in your mouth! At your invitation,I take up residence in your heart, and the Essence of My Loving Abiding Presence is Righteousness, Peace, and JOY! My Response:Oh Lord, We cannot separate Your ABIDING PRESENCE from JOY! (Taken from my Journal of Inspirations from the Spirit of the Lord) Ruth Doggette
