Edna dried her daughter’s tears and said,
“Have courage, my child,
the God of heaven and earth will change your sorrow into joy.
Have confidence, my daughter!”
---- my own,
As often as you consoled your child, as often as you wiped away her tears, as often as you have assured her who I AM in truth, Emmanuel, the God who is with her always, know this, I was present. I heard, and I answered. I collected not only her tears but yours as well. Edna's words, comforting her daughter, are also words you have often used in different ways, and they are true. It will come to pass my beloved daughters, that at a time of My choosing, at the appointed hour, I, the Son of the Living God at whose Word the heavens and the earth were made and everything in it, as the Eternal Word issuing from My Father through the Holy Spirit, will turn your sorrow into joy, your mourning to laughter, and your groaning to songs of ecstatic joy. It is I who speak and say with you to your daughter, who is also beloved to Me and espoused to Me, 'Have confidence, my daughter, God will turn your sorrow to everlasting joy.' Continue to pray with confidence, with faith, hope, and without any useless worry, for worry is an indication of a lack of trust in Me. Let all your past experiences of My favor be a testament of My love and care for you and those you love.
