My Beloved Wife, I have been trying to tell you something for some time now, but I have been unable to get you to seriously listen to Me. It grieves Me to see you work so hard to produce. You work until you collapse, then you come to Me for help. Oh how I want to be a part of your daily load, not merely at the beginning or ending of each day! I want to walk with you each step, for when you divide the load in fellowship with Me, your part becomes light and easy. My grace is always sufficient.

This weariness you are feeling is threefold. Part of it, is you feel you must produce to win My favor, My approval. This is far from the truth, and you already know that in your mind, but you haven’t internalized it. Let go of your striving and accept My unconditional love for you. Part of it, is the great darkness upon the earth and the enemy’s wearing down of the saints. And part of it, is I AM allowing your stress. For when you come to the end of yourself, you come to Me. And I want YOU. I AM a jealous Husband and I want My wife.

There is a better way. If you would bring each responsibility to Me, I will help you streamline and simplify your life so that each day has a better balance. If you would give Me access, I can teach you how to delegate to those who have the skills and the heart to help you. I can spotlight the unnecessary things for you to release. And I want to be a part of the process of that which remains. Then we can have fellowship in every part of your day. We will take one thing at a time and enjoy the process as duties unfold. My Presence is always close to those who would seek Me. My Presence is ready to bubble up within you, with the effervescence of many delights. A sudden burst of joy can lighten your load like no other.

And if you would but listen, I can speak to you through the parables of what you are doing with your eyes, your hands, your relationships, your duties. My Spirit will breathe upon a parable and you will suddenly know with pure delight that I AM the One Who silently stands with you and speaks in every thread of your life … if you would but listen. I delight in building bridges of communication with you, and delight as your eyes are opened to this wonderment! Your days will become "our" days and nothing will be the same again. For when your day is yoked with Me, it becomes light and easy and I will give you the pause and refreshing recreation for your longing soul.
