FJWL_01:28
         How glorious are the crowns of those who struggle through hardship, through desperation, through dismay, through fear, and yet carry on. These are like the widow who cast in her last mite, and feel as if they have no more. But they know not the great and wonderful honor that I will bestow upon them for their sacrifice and for their willingness to hold on and to trust Me, though all around it seems that I have failed them.
         Though they feel that I have failed them, yet they trust Me! What honor I will bestow upon them, for great is their faith! So great is My love for these, the widows, the forsaken ones--these who stood strong when their mates weakened and left. Or these who sent their husbands off to war and stayed behind--these whose husbands went down the path of My will, and as the path separated, it caused one to go one way and one to go another.
         I know and I feel the hardship of these, the widows. But I say unto you, great is their reward in Heaven! Great is the honor that I bestow upon them for their love for Me, and great is My love for them (ML #2979).
