11 For I know what my plans for you are, plans to save you and not to harm you, plans to give you a future and to give you hope.”
12 And the Lord says, “When you call on me I will listen.
13 You will seek me and find me when you search for me with all your heart.”
14 For the Lord says, “I will let myself be found by you and I will gather you from among all the nations and from all the places where I have driven you; and bring you back to the place from which I sent you into exile.
---- mine,
Once again, and for as often as you need Me to, I will assure you and reassure you that I AM Emmanuel, I AM God with you. I hear all your prayers. I have collected every one of your tears. I hear every sigh, no matter how soft. Nothing about you escapes Me, for I have always held you close to My Sacred Heart. I have pressed you against My Breast. I have made My home in you, and your home is in Me. Do not be anxious, do not be afraid, do not be said despondent or discouraged, wait with patience, in humility, and be obedient to all that I ask you. Pray unceasingly.
Be imbued in My Word. Do all things for love of Me and offer up everything to Me as a sacrifice of praise and worship. I want you to hold on to this truth: all is well because I AM God. Everyone you pray for, every beloved member of your family, is beloved to Me, too. I have redeemed each of them, sanctified them, grafted them to My Body. Have faith; even though they have strayed far from Me, I have not lost sight of them. When the time is right, I will lead them gently back to Me, and I will be their God as I AM your God, and they will be My precious ones. Fear nothing, ---- my own, except doing that which will wound Me. Be of good cheer, for I have conquered the world, and I share My victory with those that are Mine not only in time but eternally.
