         Oh, My dear, do not feel that My love for you is failing. Do not feel that something has gone wrong because things didn't turn out as you had hoped. Do not feel that I am punishing you or that I feel that you are incapable. Do not ask why. For it is not because you are incapable, or weak, or unlovely, or undesirable. It is not because you are destined to always be alone. I cannot tell you why it is better for you to be where you are, because it is important that you go through the steps, and go through some of the difficulties and hardships that I am requiring of you in order to fulfill My plan in your life.
         At the moment you see only the four walls around you. You see your world as it is now. You see the routine of your daily life, and you are thankful for My blessings on your life--for your child, for your family, for the happiness, the pleasures, the joys, for My supply and My provision. I know that you are thankful for everything from My hand. I know that you praise Me and you love Me, and your heart's desire is to please Me and to serve Me.
         But at the moment you only see a limited part of My plan for your life. You can only see so far. You try to understand what is going to happen to you and what it will be like in the future for you and your child. My darling, I cannot tell you everything right now, but I can tell you that you will be very happy. I can tell you that if you hold on by faith and continue to take one step at a time, holding My hand, trusting Me, and giving Me all that I ask and all that I require of you, there are greater things in store--greater than meets your eye now--things that you have not even thought of!
