         I am picking and training and strengthening My shepherds for the end. You must endure hardness as good soldiers, for the life of faith, and especially the life of shepherds, is a long road and a difficult task, and there will be many obstacles, struggles, battles, tests and trials along the way. Each one is meant to strengthen you, to give you love and courage, and to make you the men and women of God that you must be for these troublous times.
         So be not weary and faint in your mind, but press forward. When you are discouraged, lift one another up. Spend time loving and strengthening one another. Say the words of love and comfort that will build and will give back the courage that is lost.
         Look to the Word together, for My Word is where the courage lies. Only My Spirit can overcome these fears, these doubts, these worries, these unloving thoughts. I will fill you with the love that you need and make you strong vessels, fit for the Master's use. You will be happy and joyful and will exude My love to many. If you remain faithful, I will use you to help multitudes, and you will be glorious jewels in My crown!
