Jesus spoke
to them again, " I tell you most
solemnly , I am the gate of the sheepfold……any
one who enters the sheepfold through
Me will be safe : he will go freely
in and out……I have come
so that you may have life and have
it to the full.
John
10:1,9-10
Have no fear or doubt concerning
the present or the future or any
aspect in The way. If you journey
with Me, going to and fro in My
fold, welcoming My Presence, responding
to My guiding and gentle pressures,
you are safe indeed : safe from
evil and wayward forces, held by
the loving purpose of the Father,
and orientated by My Presence in
the power of Our Holy Spirit. All
who journey thus in life's way will
experience and suffer life's griefs
and setbacks - and pains - with
the rest of the Father's beloved
children. But the contrary experiences
will be received and lived through
in a context of faith and trust
and a measure of understanding.
And there will be an accompanying
knowledge of how to draw strength
from the wells of compassion which
the Father provides in the way,
with the conviction which grows
as it is acted upon that I am present
at every point to hold, to bind
up and to carry . Let there be no
shadow of doubt that the waters
of suffering , sadness and loss
may be he means of cleansing for
perfection of refreshment and of
strengthening the very fabric of
the soul. Those who travel life's
way in the knowledge and understanding
of these things , however tenuously,
will have life to the full.
