Happy the man who stands firm when trials come He has proved himself and will win the prize of life, the crown that the Lord has promised to those who love Him
James 1:12

The strength and resilience which the faithful one finds within himself at times of sorrow, sadness, trials and difficulties is not his own. For there is nothing within any beloved child of the Father which can bring strength or joy of itself. Those of His beloved children who have most reflected His likeness and achieved most for their fellowmen and women are they who have emptied themselves of everything to become centres from which Love could operate. And to this end I have indwelt, nourished and led the soul which has opened itself to the loving purpose of the Heavenly Father . Our Holy Spirit has illumined and empowered. And We have united and established in solidarity all who have so committed themselves in faith and trust and love. So it has been , so is it now and so will it be until the end of time.

And so the crown which has been promised is the fulness of love which is the reward of all who are faithful to that which is before them. No one can know until he attains the wonder and the fulfilment of that attainment in and through My saving love in the presence of the all-loving Father.
