Take heart from the knowledge that nothing happens unless your Heavenly Father wills or allows it. Those who are totally committed to Him in love are enveloped in His loving purpose for them and for the world. So no harm can come to them.

This knowledge must fortify them in the painful tracks of the earthly journey. Those who identify with the loving purpose of their Heavenly Father must also identify with the pain which the fulfilment may, nay must involve. Have I not shown the way and rejection by family, people and nation, I suffered on the cross of physical pain. The mental and spiritual anguish none can ever know, nor would he be allowed. Yet he may stand on the threshold and join with me in suffering the cost of man's redemption. So does the perfected life qualify for the crown of life. Remember ?The crown of life is to appear in My likeness, sharing my yoke and showing compassion to all with whom you have to do. The yoke is sometimes grievous but the end is assured if the going is made in faith and love and I complete trust.
