Child, do not think that I would ever desert you. When you feel your heart is estranged from Me, you are even more in My thoughts.

My purpose for your life is ever present in My heart; your cares are like weights on my bosom. I long to hold you in My arms while you are undergoing trials, but now is not the time. You have many more miles to walk with Me on this earth before we can meet face to face.

Your trials are ever before Me, but be of good cheer. Remember that I have overcome this world, and you will also overcome because you are Mine and My precepts are written on your heart.

Do not faint in the day of adversity; at the end of the race a crown of life awaits you.

Be patient. You know that I will never fail you. I am all things to all people, and in My care you are safe from the snares of the world. Selah.

“But in all these things we overwhelmingly conquer through Him who loved us.” (Romans 8: 37). Read John 16:33, Deuteronomy 31:6.
