I am your strength and your redeemer. Fear nothing save to fall away from My firm grasp. I surround you with My saving, sanctifying Presence and indwell your inner heart and mind as you commit your total self in faith and trust and love. Suffering there is in every life and will be till the end. But it is both the cost and the reward of your humanity: it is inevitable in a developing and fallen world of men and women. But it is challenge too, and offers opportunities of maturity and progress in the Kingdom of the Father. And beyond all that and alongside it for the faithful and the true of heart it brings communion with Me as the soul identifies with My redemptive offering and fellowship with all who suffer in the Father’s world. I will lead you to the joy and glory of the Father as you continue faithful to the end.
