An inexplicable feeling of joy and dreams of morning jogging

12 MAR 2025 On Wednesday night, I was filled with joy. Although I faced many challenges and problems, I felt a joy I had never experienced before. I was looking forward to my morning run the next day, which was today's morning run. At that time, I was still thinking that I had been worshipping for the past few days, and all the sadness had left me, but it still had a certain impact because of the guidance of the Holy Spirit.

I couldn't wait to run out of the house for this morning's run. This feeling of joy still lived in me. I held the small towel in my right hand, and I said to the Lord Jesus, please hold my hand, continue to run your way, let my heart sustain the burden of the accelerated heartbeat. 22 years ago, I was very eager to have the opportunity to run every morning, but my health gradually began to have problems at that time, coupled with my married life and various problems with vaccine sequelae, which made this dream seem impossible to realize. But the Lord Jesus is a careful Lord, a faithful Lord. Everything is in His hands, and the impossible will become possible.

As for how I started to realize my dream of morning jogging this time?

Because the children had to go to school earlier, after I finished taking care of the children, I wanted to try a morning run and enjoy the cool breeze. During the first morning run, my heart hurt a lot, but I still prayed to the Lord to help me complete it. The next morning, I still chose to insist on running in the morning to train my heart. This time the pain was aggravated, which also included the pain accumulated from the previous day, but I still believed that the Lord would give me strength to break through this pain, so I continued to insist.

At that time, I didn’t have any sports shoes, so I wore my eldest daughter’s shoes and clothes, and my second daughter’s trousers. This is what the Lord often taught me: don’t be defeated by difficulties, and don’t take unprepared reasons for granted. So for me, clothing is not very important. What is important is that I am willing to start and persist. I want to give all the glory to the Lord Jesus!

Back to this morning's run, while I was running and feeling joyful, I once again passed by the river not far from my home, and the Lord said to me, "He will be like a tree planted by the stream, that yields its fruit in season, whose leaf will not wither. Whatever he does will prosper." Psalm 1:3

As soon as I heard the words "beside the stream", I laughed. I never knew that the location of the house chosen by the Lord for me was the "most beautiful arrangement". Although I passed by this place countless times, I did not realize it. But often the words given by the Lord are at the right time and the right moment. As the saying goes, "There is a time to weep and a time to laugh; a time to mourn and a time to dance" Ecclesiastes 3:4

As I walked home, I saw the beautiful colors in the sky, and it was as if the Holy Spirit once again comforted my heart, beautified my joy, and made me want to dance in the middle of the street.

Looking back, the challenges and difficulties we experienced were only a moment, because only after going through them can we have true peace of mind, joy and satisfaction, which is the most important thing.

At noon, I listened to a teaching from Torah learning. It turns out that today, 13/3/25-14/3/25, is the Pur’er Festival. March is also the month of Adar, which is also the representative of the “tribe of Naphtali”. The revelation is [liberation, beautiful words, and grace], which means joy, liberation, and expression of words. [He makes my feet like the feet of a deer, and sets me on high.] Psalm 18:33

Last Sunday, I just mentioned the "doe", and I also specifically looked for information about the doe. It turns out that this is the blessing released by the Holy Spirit in my spirit, which blesses others.

I thank the Lord for supporting me and giving me strength, so that when I want to give up, I can pick up my weapons and keep moving forward. Thank the Lord for shaping my heart and reshaping my life. I pray for everyone here, may the spirit of joy fill you, so that everyone's soul can be liberated, dreams can return to you, and we can embark on new things, new paths, and new lives again! Amen!
