                      The Empty Space


You feel a great void around you and feel that you are in an empty space.  
I know this, but there is a corner, and you shall turn around it and this 
time will be over. Over. It shall be declared, over! You will be able 
to look back and not feel any of the pain you are in now, for you shall 
be transformed and renewed. Everything will be so good that the hard 
times will not matter. Put your trust in Me and do not look at what you 
see, for there is movement going on in unseen places, and the time will 
come for you to see the changes that I will make; the good changes.

The refiners fire does a complete work, but there is much work that needs 
to be done, and I do not sleep as you pray and weep. I do not sleep as 
you cry out to Me, I do not sleep as you call My name. I am always with 
you. In the times of pain and the times of joy, I am with you through 
them all. There are times you may not feel Me close but I am still there.  
There is no time when I am absent for I am all around you, covering you 
with loving arms and holding you through this storm. The storm will rage 
but for a time. There is a corner you are soon to turn and these times 
will be over. Over.  

Remember. Remember the disciples who battled the storm and believed they
were alone. Yet My Son watched them, and when the time was right, He
walked to them. There was nothing that could stop Him. No storm, no 
waves, no calamities could stop His presence. You are not in control of 
this, I am. I am here with you in the empty space you feel you are in. 
There I am, right by you, shielding you.

Lift up your face and contemplate the heavens and their great vastness.
Lift up your face and look to Me. There is none greater. There is nothing
that I cannot change, there is nothing that will harm you for I, I am here,
in this space with you.
