(Dad:) In reviewing my life and looking back on all that happened to me, the Lord showed me how He had helped me and loved me and cared for me through all the dark spots, through all the trials and tribulations, the tests, the fears, the uncertainties, and the failures. I knew it in theory then, but in the review of my life that took place up Here, He showed me how He was there, how He brought me through. It made me ever so grateful and thankful that He kept me and that He helped me, so that I could become the man of God that He wanted me to be.
And I know He's there with you! He's there in the darkness. He's there in the trial. He's there in the test. He's there in the confusion. He's there in the depths. He's there because He loves you. He knows you have to go through these things, even as He had to go through the death and the suffering of the cross. But He's there to help you through. He's there because He loves you, because you are very dear to Him.
No matter what, trust Him! Cry out to Him! And don't surrender to the Enemy! You are undergoing the making and the breaking and the molding and the shaping of your life, and every man and woman of God goes through it. (ML #3004)
