FJWL_02:104
         (For one who was terminally ill:) Rest in Me and cease from your struggling. The only way that you can be worthy of My love and My forgiveness and worthy to come into My presence is through faith and through loving Me. It is nothing of yourself. There is nothing you can do to perfect yourself, to cleanse yourself, to make yourself ready in the flesh.
         The only thing you can do to lay hold upon My mercy, healing and deliverance is to have faith, to trust in Me and to know that I love you with a perfect love. Nothing escapes Me. All is known to Me, and all power is given unto Me. In one second I could raise you up to full health, or in one second I could deliver you unto My Heavenly Kingdom. I am the One Who has this power--not the physicians, not the medicines, not your own struggling.
         So put your life and your future completely in My hands. Let go of yourself, your own strength in the flesh and your self-effort. Let go of all these things that draw you away from feeling My mercy and My grace. Just fall into My arms and find rest and peace. Relax in trusting Me.
         Quit trying to figure everything out and reason it out in your own mind. Just trust Me, knowing that I love you. Whether I give you life or whether I take your life, I do all things in love. For behold, My love for you is so great! My mercy upon you is unending. My faithfulness to you is without end. I find great joy and pleasure in your life that you have lived for Me and for the testimony that you have been to many. You have borne much fruit. You have done well. You have served Me well and testified to many, and your works do follow you.
         I am well pleased in your life, which has been invested in My Kingdom and in My service, a life that has been lived in love. For what more could a man ask than this, but that his life be lived in love and as a testimony of My Name? What more could you ask than that people know you as a man of God, a man of love, and a man of faith?
