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.
