FJWL_02:108
         (For one who was terminally ill:) Fear not for these battles and this affliction that you have faced. Think not that it is a punishment or a chastisement from My hand. It has only been a purification. It has only been a purging through which I have desired to bring you closer to Me, and through which I have desired to demonstrate your faith. Even in your moments of affliction, pain and great suffering, still you trust Me, still you love Me, and still you look to Me in faith. This is a great thing, a great testimony!
         Fear not what others may think of you. Fear not that others think of you as a failure, or as a misfit, or as a burden, or as one upon whom the hand of the Lord rests heavily. Know instead that I have chosen to honor you and privilege you with this time of testing.
