People usually want everything in their lives to be pleasant. They desire to have pleasant relationships, housing, vacation spots, travel, and many other pleasant things. Life, however, is not always pleasant. I did promise that in this world you would experience tribulation, but I also said that you could be of good cheer because I have overcome the world.
The way to experience pleasant things in life is very simple. Stay in My presence moment by moment. I can lead you to pleasant places even in the midst of heavy trials. The pleasant places that I lead you to are the still waters and the green pastures of a life lived in My presence and in the power of My Spirit.
Fullness of joy is available to you moment by moment as you stay aware of My presence with you all the day long. You stay in My presence by abiding in My Word and abiding in My love. It is a pleasant thing for you to hear My words, and apply your heart to My wisdom and knowledge.
