                          Have Faith in My Love

    "For the Lord loves the just and will not forsake His faithful ones. 
    They will be protected forever." --Psalm 37:28

    "For great is Your love, higher than the heavens, Your faithfulness 
    reaches to the skies." Psalm 108:4

I have loved you with a tender love, My child, all the days you have 
lived. I have seen your days, each one, before they were born, and I 
carried your sorrows and your triumphs in My heart. I want you to know 
the tenderness of My love for you.

I tell you these things so you will be encouraged, so you will know the 
Lord your God is with you. I am the Father you have longed for, the One 
Who never fails, but is patient, loving and kind. I have kept you all 
your days, and nothing has happened to you that I have not allowed. I 
have kept your best interests at heart, even when you were sure I had 
abandoned you.

Have faith in My love, for I know the beginning from the end, and I will 
not fail you."
