Pain and suffering go hand-in-hand with Glory in a well-formed heart. When you see the world and its situations through only human vision, you see only the dismal, the dissolute heart. Ah! But when you surrender self to Me, even death has new meaning! For life becomes a series of death: dying to self, and rising in Me.

Where is your focus? Where is your Love? It is natural to feel for want of hope when it would seem that none can be found. But I ask you to resolutely pursue Me, no matter what. For *I* am the Sense in all things! Place your heart into My Hands, yes; but give Me your mind, as well. That which you give Me, I have made. I know fully well, how to help you. And in Me, your clouded vision will become clear.

Rejection is a part of life. How do you handle rejection? *I* was rejected.....come to Me with your tale of woe and the sorrow in your heart. Stay away from Me, and I am rejected once more. See? How different ARE we in these matters, child, children? I AM your All and Everything. Come to Me, all who labour and are weary, for I SHALL give you rest! How well do you come? Fully? Or do you keep a reserve of self pity? Do you withhold yourself from Me, little ones?

Where are you in the story of MY Life? Where am I in yours?

Amen. +
