         Where there is life, there is hope. Those, My precious ones, who are buffeted on every side, tossed to and fro with the winds of confusion, need your unconditional love, for they hang in the balances. Though they seem capable of making a decision, though they seem of age, Satan is sifting. He is confusing, he is hoping to win them.
         Therefore be not weary, but show them love, for My love conquers all. My love is able to break through the iron bars, the brazen gates that would seek to entrap them. Love them unconditionally and patiently. Tenderly gather them in, as I have gathered you.
         Show them My unconditional love. Love that has no conditions is love that holds on to them through the hard times, through the battles, the trials and the struggles of everyday life. My love knows no conditions; it is without limitations. My unconditional love is love that sees beyond the hard shell and cold exterior; it sees above and beyond and reaches out to save the lost, the weary, the tired, struggling soul.
         Unconditional love is love that sees the diamond in the rough. It is love that is willing to mine those jewels, extract them from the ground, smooth away the rough edges, buff them up, and polish them with tender loving care until the brilliant stone shines bright and beautiful for all to see. Mining those jewels takes time. It takes patience. It takes faith and a large measure of unconditional love to bring forth the shining brilliant jewel that lies deep within the Earth.
         My unconditional love loves the unlovely. It loves the difficult to love. It loves the sad and the lonely. It loves those who are struggling, those who are lost and in confusion. My unconditional love gives and gives and gives again, and expects nothing in return.
         My unconditional love is without partiality. It doesn't say, "But this one does not return My love, does not react, therefore I give up." My unconditional love keeps on believing and never gives up hope; it's enduring, unfailing.
         My unconditional love knows no limits and it has no stopping place. My love will go to any length, suffer any agony, walk through any storm to love and bring one lost, lonely, battered soul through to victory.
