Even now my witness is in heaven
and my defender is on high.
Now my prayer has gone up to God
as I poured out my tears before him.
---- my own,
Job's testimony is true for you, too, and for anyone who, like him, has unwavering faith that no matter how difficult and even impossible life may be at certain times in your journey to eternity, God is always present with you, and in you. There has never been a time when I was not intimately bound in your life and intrinsically involved in it. This is true not just for you but for all who are called by My Name and are grafted to My Body. There is not a sigh, not a tear, not a heartache, no grief or suffering, no sickness, nothing that causes you distress that happens without My permissible will for you. Without suffering and trial, you would become lazy, you would take your faith for granted, it would grow lukearm and shallow. Suffering is necessary to help you remain focused on Me, your gaze unwaveringly on the Cross. I bore it for you, and there will be times when I will let you sip from the Cup of My Suffering so you will understand to some degree the love of God that emptied itself for you so you may live. You and those you love will be saved. This I assure you. At a time that has already been appointed by Me, each of them will come back to Me and take their appointed place in the household of God. As for you, continue to pray, to fast, to give alms, and grow daily more and more in love with Me, with My Word, and with all the spiritual gifts that are given to you to grow in wisdom and knowledge, understanding and discernment, and to navigate the pitfalls that the Enemy is constantly laying to trap you. Be not afraid, nothing that the Enemy does will succeed for My precious Blood covers you. My Word sustains and upholds you and every member of your family. Have faith, grow in it, stand firm in it, and receive the victory that has already been won through the Cross.
