“My beloved, I see your pain, and I am with you in it. I know how deeply you long to be one with Me, and I see, hear and feel your heart’s desire. I have never left you, and I never will. You are not alone, even in your darkest moments.
The pain you feel is not a sign that I am not close to you – in fact, I am closer than you can imagine. I cry with you, and I am carrying you, especially when you feel too weak to walk. I know your heart, and I know the depths of your love for Me. It is because of this love that you feel the pain so deeply, but do not be afraid. Do not be afraid. This suffering will not last forever. Endure. Abide. Enjoy. Everyone can be strong when they feel good. Be strong in Me no matter the external or internal storms. This pain is part of the journey, but it is not the destination.
Keep your eyes on Me.
Remember My words: ‘In this world, you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world’. The pain is real, but My victory is greater. I am working even now to bring beauty from your brokenness, and I am using this time to draw you even closer to Me.
Keep your eyes on Me.
Trust Me, My beloved child, my brother, my friend. You are precious to me. I am your protector. I am holding you, and I am making all things new. Lean into Me, and know that your tears are precious to Me. I promise, you will see the fullness of the oneness you long for—so much more than you can imagine. Keep your eyes on Me, and I will lead you through this valley into My perfect peace and joy.”
Amen.
Together WE Transform – always, ALWAYS – TOGETHER
