I see a house from the front. It looks to be a one-room house, but immediately, it is turned to the side. And, I see that it goes on forever. There are many, many rooms.
And, I see bars on the windows, and children looking out with sadness in their eyes.
But, the snow falls and joy comes to their hearts. They get to go outside and play. They build snowmen and mess all around in the snow. There is great rejoicing.
The LORD would say that when He comes to His children, right where they are, there is gladness. No captives will stay that way. God is setting the captives free.
Those that see what God is doing, through the eyes of a child, will indeed find joy in the times when they believe that they are held to their circumstances.
