Regard the sufferings and the setbacks in your life as an infinitesimal share in the total suffering of the Father's cherished and beloved world. For that is what they are. They can embitter or enlarge the soul according to how they are received. I am at hand in every pain and sorrow: did I not suffer both in My Incarnate life? By virtue of My death and resurrection and in the power of My risen life I share all sadness, pain and suffering as I am invited into heart and mind and life. And I strengthen all who trust for joyful service in the Father's world . Seek the Father's will and loving purpose from the beginning.
