                                            At once 
                                            Jesus called out to His Disciples 
                                            saying, "Courage! It is I! Do 
                                            not be afraid"
                                            Matthew 
                                            14:27  
                                            All who travel on the sea of life 
                                              are guided and upheld by the loving 
                                              Heavenly Father as they commit themselves 
                                              and all they have and are to His 
                                              protection. Why, then, should they 
                                              be afraid? Clouds will arise and 
                                              waves may threaten but all are under 
                                              His control, subject to His protecting 
                                              hand.
                                            And if the Father has created all 
                                              for joy both in this world and in 
                                              eternity, will He not bring all 
                                              His beloved children who look to 
                                              Him and to His loving purpose to 
                                              fulfilment?
                                            Embark upon the sea of life in 
                                              faith and loving trust all who seek 
                                              point and purpose in their lives. 
                                              And when faith fails look for My 
                                              hand held out to save and fortify 
                                              for further action. And know the 
                                              Father's love is over all, Our Holy 
                                              Spirit binding together all who 
                                              live in love and trust in this world 
                                              and the next. Be aware of the great 
                                              family of redeemed and sanctified 
                                              and profit from its joyful fellowship.
