12 There are those who are weak, needing support, lacking goods and in great poverty, yet the eyes of the Lord look on them with favor. The Lord will redress their humiliation.
13 He will raise their heads and many people will marvel on this account. 14 Good and evil, life and death, poverty and riches, all come from the Lord.
17 The just can count on the generosity of the Lord and his goodness will guide them forever.
---- my own,
Know My own, My gaze is ever on you. My ear is pressed against your lips. My face, pressed against your cheek, feels the warmth of your breath as you breathe in and out. My arms are wrapped around you tightly. I hold you firmly against My breast. You are safe. Although you possess nothing, you are weak, you are tossed about by those who think they have power over you; this is a lie of the Evil One. I love you. I will lift your head so you will walk with the dignity that belongs to the children of God. What can the children of the world do to you? They are but a puff of wind. It is I who grants justice. It is I who directs the affairs of all. They may believe that they are in control, but there is nothing and no one who acts or does anything that I do not permit. Nothing is good or bad, ---- my own, for all things come from Me. I AM God, and the sun rises and sets at My command. I have placed every star in the sky. I know them all. I call each one by name. What is man, puny man, whose life is but a puff of wind here today and gone tomorrow? Do not fear anyone but God alone. And always remember, you are not alone. You have God, the Son of God, the Mighty Warrior, the King of Kings, and the Lord of Lords, who is also the Bridegroom of your precious soul, who loves you. I have declared you to be Mine, and no one can snatch from Me what belongs to Me. Have faith and calm your restless fears and thoughts. Lean against Me like a weaned child on its mother's breast, trustfully for all is well.
