But now, listen to what the Lord, the God of Israel says: “See, I am going to gather them from all the countries where I scattered them in my anger, fury and great wrath. I will bring them back to this place and have them live in safety. They will be my people and I shall be their God. I will have them think and act in another way, so that they may always fear me, for their own good and the good of their children. I will forge an eternal Covenant with them by which I shall never cease to do them good; and I shall place my fear in their heart so that they may never turn away from me. I shall rejoice in doing them good; and I shall plant them securely in this land with all my heart and soul.”And the Lord says, “Just as I brought great disaster on this people, so shall I bring them all the happiness I promised them.
---- mine,
Here I AM once again, ---- my own, here I AM assuring you with words of the prophet who said it well, and you can believe it concerning those you love so well. By the power of My Word, the power of My Blood, the power of My Being, the power of the Son of God and the Son of Man, the power of the Wisdom of God and the Love of God, all that the prophet has said about the people of Israel, and the assurance of the God of Israel, I will do for you. Be at peace, be consoled, wipe away your tears, and trust Me. Have faith. I desire what you desire even more ardently than you do. Neither My Father nor I desire the death of even one of His little ones. I have made a Covenant of Blood sealed in the Holy Spirit, and this is an eternal Covenant made in love. Through all their comings and goings, all their errors and lack of wisdom, all the times and ways in which they choose to stray further and further away from Me and from the Way of Truth, Beauty, and Goodness, I will not lose sight of them. My gaze is ever upon them, even when they believe that they are hidden from Me. Know this, a time will come when they will long for Me. They will cry out to Me, and I will answer. Before the words escape their lips, I will be there to save, to rescue, and to restore. Do not be afraid, ---- my own, Be not afraid! I assure you that by my mighty power I will save.
