Jesus said,
"It is I,. Do not be afraid."
They were for taking Him into the
boat but in no time it reached the
shore at the place where they were
making for
John
6:15-21
The world's natural contingencies
need hold no terror for the souls
committed to My love and protection.
The Father has given all things
into My hands and I have redeemed
the whole creation. So nothing need
come between the committed ones
who walk faithfully in trust and
love. And I am present in all joys
and all sorrows, in every danger
and dark place, waiting to offer
that assurance and staying power
which each requires and needs.
And often the very circumstances
which seem so contrary and threatening
are the natural working through
of the Father's good and loving
purpose. The most far-reaching gains
and growth in spiritual stature
are often made when the going is
difficult and rough. The weakness
of the trusting, committed soul
is the power of Our loving purpose.
And as My loving faithful ones
are true to the lead they are given,
so is it given them to share in
the light-bearing and burden-sharing
of others. So do they become part
of My joyful victory, and share
in the power and joy of My risen
life.
