FJWL_02:47
         Oh, gentle, tender lamb, do you not know that I am the one Who carries you in My bosom in the times of your affliction, in the times of your heartache and heartbreak, in the times of your confusion, and in the hurt and in the sorrow? It is I Who holds you ever so close to My breast, stroking and caressing, kissing and holding, protecting and keeping you. For you are My little lamb and I love you dearly. I have been with you in all of your afflictions and in all of your battles.
         When you have descended into the depths of Hell, I was there with you. When the Evil One attacked you and tried to defeat you, I was there protecting you and keeping you and holding you. In your confusion when you decided to hold on, I held you and I protected you round about with the aura of My love, strength and protection.
         I know your every thought and all of your heart's desires. I say unto you, he that overcomes receives of Me these great blessings and heart's desires. I give the most to them that love Me most. And how do you love Me? You love Me by trusting Me. You trust that I know what is best and that I will keep you. No matter what the conditions, no matter what is about you, no matter what is even within you, you know that I will keep you; that is trusting Me.
         In your confusion and your agony and your writhing in spirit, you have trusted Me. You have shown Me great love in this manner, and it causes Me to love you greatly and dearly, and to hold you even closer! Having gone through these afflictions, and having cried out to Me, having sought My Word for your solace, you have learned the most valuable lesson--the lesson that I am there, that My Spirit will speak to you, that My Words will comfort you, that I am your Savior, your God, your Friend, your Comforter, your Lover, your Caregiver! (ML #3004)
