Jesus said, "I tell you that Elijah has come already and they did not recognise him but treated him as they pleased: and the Son of Man will suffer similarly at their hands."
Matthew 17:16

Let it be known and understood that while life on earth remains there will be suffering. Such is required by the contingency of man's free will. How could it be otherwise? But all is held within the embrace of the loving Heavenly Father and all is limited within His over-ruling power.

And I am present in all that is suffered for I have trod the world of pain and woe: though within time I experienced human anguish, throughout eternity I share the agonies. And all is limited within the Father's loving power.

But all that each encounters on life's journey is meant for growth, maturity and progress for the soul. And as the soul advances in the way he is courteously invited to share the burden of the world's condition in and through My saving love. Herein is joy and fullness of the spirit now and in eternity. All is moving towards that glorious joyful fulfilment where the Father reigns in love with all the faithful for every more.
