PSALM 31:21-24 (2025)

PSALM 31:21-24

Blessed be the Lord,

    for he has wondrously shown his steadfast love to me

    when I was beset as a city under siege.

 I had said in my alarm,

    “I am driven far[d] from your sight.”

But you heard my supplications

    when I cried out to you for help.

 Love the Lord, all you his saints.

    The Lord preserves the faithful,

    but abundantly repays the one who acts haughtily.

 Be strong, and let your heart take courage,

    all you who wait for the Lord.

---- mine,

Never forget, even for an instant, that I AM God and I keep My Word. I have spoken, and all that I have said I will do for you, I WILL DO. Be still and know that I AM God. I AM the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. I uphold all things and sustain all things by the power of My Word and the Breath of the Holy Spirit. The God of love who created you and all those you love in love and has destined you for glory in Me will ensure that in the end, each of your loved ones will ultimately repent of their sins. They will be washed clean in My Blood, they will receive once again the Living Waters, and they will be cleansed and strengthened by My Body and Blood, which gives life. Do not be afraid, ---- my own, all that you ask of Me in faith will be given to you, for all you desire is what God desires as well - the salvation of all His children. Continue to pray, fast, give alms, and be joyful and at peace. Remain in My love. Keep your gaze fixed on Me. Know that I AM God and that I love you. I love you. Remain in My love.

MATTHEW 18:12-14 (2025)

MATTHEW 18:12-14

What do you think of this? 

If someone has a hundred sheep and one of them strays, 

won’t he leave the ninety-nine on the hillside, 

and go to look for the stray one? 

And I tell you, when he finally finds it, 

he is more pleased about it, 

than about the ninety-nine that did not go astray. 

It is the same with your Father in heaven. 

Your Father in heaven doesn’t want 

even one of these little ones to perish.

---- mine,

What do you think of this, ---- my own? Would you say it is beyond the realms of practicality for a shepherd to risk the ninety-nine for the sake of the one? Do you think the lives of the ninety-nine who are in the fold are enough to console the shepherd for the loss of one? No, I tell you. I AM the Good Shepherd. I will not rest until I find the stray who is cold, lost, sick, hungry, hurt, afraid, and dying to perish alone in the wilderness. I will come after the lost one, and I will not rest until I find that precious little one. When I have found it, I will pick it up, caress it,  bathe it in tears of joy, caress it, whisper all kinds of endearments to it, and assure it that I AM not angry at its foolish recklessness in leaving the safety of the fold and wandering on its own. So do not be anxious, instead, ---- my own, you who remain among the faithful flock in the fold, continue to pray with a burden on your heart for the salvation of those you love. I, on My part, assure you that I will not rest until each one of those you pray for is found and restored. This is My Word given to you, and My Word is true. It is the same yesterday, today, and forever. The Son of Man came to seek and save the lost, and this I will do according to My promise. Pray, hope, and do not be anxious about anything, it pleases My Father to give all His little ones a share in His Kingdom.
