                   Give Them to Me

   "You hear, o LORD, the desire of the afflicted; You encourage them
    and You listen to their cry." (Psalm 10:17)

My love, I know how much you ache for your loved ones. I have heard every
prayer and seen every tear you shed. I am not indifferent or aloof. I Am
Emmanuel.

Give each lost lamb of yours to Me. I Am the Shepherd. The events in the
lives of your family will bring them to Me. I know you seek an easy
transition for your people, but it cannot always be. I will move Heaven
and earth to gather My flock. I will also move you, if necessary, to
accomplish My design.

Dear one, do not fear. I will be with you and your loved ones through
all trials and unrest. I will also be there to rejoice with you when you
see your prayers come to fruition.

  "I will give them a heart to know Me, that I am the Lord. They will
   be My people and I will be their God, for they will return to Me with
   their whole heart." (Jeremiah 24:7)
