My Beloved Speaks to Me

While reading My words to the prophets
have you not learned that, like the Israelites,
I may take you through darkness,
into the valley,
or wilderness,
or even into captivity.
I have led people into solitude,
into fires,
and into the dens of lions.


I do not do this for amusement
but for a purpose.
To teach you,
to refine you,
to prepare you,
"so that you will know that I am God."


Do not fret or be anxious,
do not fear,
I will not let the water drown you
or the fire consume.
I will be with you.
Always.
