                    I Will Not Fail You

   "O Lord God Almighty, who is like You? You are mighty, O Lord, 
    and Your faithfulness surrounds You." -- Psalm 89:8
 
   "For great is Your love, reaching to the heavens; Your faithfulness
    reaches to the skies." -- Psalm 57:10

   "He has remembered His love and His faithfulness...all the ends 
    of the earth have seen the salvation of our God."  Psalm 98:3


I am with you, My children, for I love you with an everlasting love. 
My faithfulness to you is sure, for as My love is secure, so My 
faithfulness is without repentance. I have given you My word that I 
will not fail you, nor will I leave you. But I call to you today to 
see if your faith is in Me, and if your will is submitted to My will. 

Remember that He who submits himself to Me will find Me, and him I 
will bless with My presence and power. I have reserved Myself and My
blessing for those who want Me, and not just what I can give. Remember
My love - I am calling you to receive it and to place your destiny in 
My hands.

Yes, remember My love for you; remember how I have carried and kept 
you all your days. When you were weak, I was strong, when you were 
frail, I provided for you, when you lost hope, I was your anchor in 
the storm. 

I am today what I have always been: faithful and true. I will keep 
and protect those whom I love. They will fear no evil and nothing 
shall overcome them. They can rest in My love, knowing that I am able 
and willing to watch over them. 

Be strong, My loved ones, for I will never leave you, but will keep 
you from all harm. Yes, I am stilling the storms and calming the 
waves around you. My Children; I will keep those all who trust in 
Me safe, for My love rests on them, and they find favor in My sight. 

Many are the woes of the wicked, to those who look to their own strength 
to save them--but those who look to Me will be safe. I will be with them 
in the storm. Although the storm about them may seem fierce, My love will 
protect My own and keep them in My peace. 

Trust in Me and I will keep you, My beloved ones.
