Psalm 30:5
For his anger is but for a moment;
his favour is for a lifetime.
Weeping may linger for the night,
but joy comes with the morning.
This is what I want you to know, to understand, and to believe. Transgressions will always be punished. There are always consequences for sinful deeds so you ought not to be surprised, or disheartened, or lose hope when your suffering is a direct consequence of sin. You must be worried if you sin without compunction feeling neither guilt nor sorrow for then you have given yourself over to the hand of the enemy. But you have experienced the joy that comes from repentance and forgiveness of all your sins in the Sacrament of Reconciliation. In this life, ---- mine, you must expect sorrow, tears, loss, and suffering, and having endured every cross that is laid on you with faith and trust in My mercy you will know the joy that comes from seeking My will in all things and accepting the will of God in all things. Trust Me. Have faith even when all is dark around you and joy will come eventually and through it all know that I AM with you always. My love sustains you, strengthens you, and will remain with you always.
