            Encouragement For Those Who Are Discouraged

My precious child, how I long to sit face to face and speak with you.  
I am always here for you.  But you continue to fill your mind and life 
with other things.  Seek Me, for I am the keeper of your soul.  I have 
your life in My hands.  I provide all good things to you, even your joy.  
You see life as dead, with all joy gone.  But I see life, not death, 
and soon you will see as I see.  For your heart seeks Me even while you 
go from one thing to another to entertain you.  

Keep Me first and foremost in your life, My child.  I long, long, long 
for your fellowship.  You see yourself as a dead bird, but I see one who 
is My beloved.  One who has stood firm through countless trials.  Yes, 
you are still lacking and weak in areas.  But don't give up.  Continue 
in Me.  Sit with Me.  Speak to Me and I will strengthen you and provide 
all that you need to keep going.  

The tunnel seems dark and long, I know.  But soon you will begin to see 
a tiny crack of light.  Then, as you continue to walk in Me, the light 
will grow brighter until you are totally saturated in it.  And if you 
continue in Me, you will be totally saturated in My presence.  

Come child, hold onto My hand for I will never lead you to harm.  I wish 
all good things on your life.  Seek Me as you never have before and all 
good things WILL be reflected in your life as you long for them to be.  I 
love you, for you are My own, and I chose you even before you were.  Our 
relationship is for eternity.  Step into eternity holding My hand.  Let Me 
guide you the rest of the way, My child, My own love.
