                Confirmation of Our Calling!

"I love you; it's just than plain and simple. I've always loved you. I loved
you before you were formed in the womb and when I delivered you out of your
mother's womb. I loved you when you were a sinner and I loved you when I
called you out of darkness into My marvelous light.

"I love you unconditionally; please try to understand? I loved you before
you were born and sanctified you to be a prophet to the nations. I know it's
difficult to feel My love sometimes when you're so alone. Yet, I kept My
promise to never leave you nor forsake you; keep this promise close to your
heart and guard it, and My love will keep you.

"I love you at all times; especially in troubled times. I never said the
road you must travel was going to be easy, but what I did say was that I
would always be with you, by your side, guiding your steps, lighting your
path and showing you the way. It was My love that made your crooked paths
straight and your uphill journeys possible.

"I love you as a heavenly Father; that makes your tests and trials worth
looking forward to. I know exactly how much you can endure, how far you can
go and how long you will last, and as your loving Father I use these times
to purge you, perfect you and build you up for the greater works that I will
have you do through Me.

"I love you and protect you; know that persecutions will come and that men
will misunderstand you and some will want to harm you. But My love has been
shed abroad in your heart by My Spirit and men will know Me by the love you
express while in the midst of your adversaries.

"I love you and I called you; and all things work together for good in your
life, because your life demonstrates to Me that you also love Me. Your call
is your life and your life is your call, and they are inseparable.

"The very essence of who you are, the core of your very being is My love;
you are in Me and I am in you. Therefore the world will know I sent you
because you will love them just as I have loved you."
