feel as though this crisis, this problem, this hard time will last
forever. It won't. You are almost through.
You don't just "think" it has been hard; it has been hard. You
have been tested, tried, and re-tested on what you have
learned.
Your beliefs and your faith have been tried in fire. You have
believed, then doubted, then, worked at believing some more.
You have had to have faith even when you could not see or
imagine what you were asked to believe. Others around you
may have tried to convince you not to believe in what you were
hoping you could believe. You have had opposition. You have
not gotten to this place with total support and joy. You have had
to work hard, in spite of what was happening around you.
Sometimes, what motivated you was anger; sometimes fear.
Things went wrong....more problems occurred than you
anticipated. There were obstacles, frustrations, and annoyances
en route. You did not plan on this being the way it would
evolve. Much of this has been a surprise; some of it has not
been at all what you desired.
Yet, it has been good. part of you, the deepest part that knows
truth, has sensed this all along, even when your head told you
that things were out of whack and crazy, that there was no
plan or purpose, that God had forgotten you.
So much has happened, and each incident....the most painful,
the most troubling, the most surprising....has a connection. You
are beginning to see and sense that. You never dreamt things
would happen this way, did you? But they did. Now you are
learning the secret....they were meant to happen this way, and
this way is good, better than what you expected.
You didn't believe it would take this long, either...did you? But
it did. You have learned patience. You never thought you could
have it, but now you know you do.
You have been led. Many were the moments when you thought
you were forgotten, when you were convinced you had been
abandoned. Now you know you have been guided. Now things
are coming into place. You are almost at the end of this phase,
this difficult portion of the journey. The lesson is almost complete.
You know....the lesson, you fought, resisted, and insisted you
could not learn. Yes, that one. You have almost mastered
it.
You have been changed from the inside out. You have been
moved to a different level, a higher level, a better level.
You have been climbing a mountain. It has not been easy, but
mountain climbing is never easy. Now, you are near the top. A
moment longer, and the victory shall be yours.
Steady your shoulders. Breathe deeply. Move forward in
confidence and peace. The time is coming to relish and enjoy
all which you have fought for. That time is drawing near, finally.
I know you have thought before that the time was drawing near,
only to learn that it wasn't. But now, the reward is coming. You
know that too. You can feel it.
Your struggle has not been in vain. For every struggle on this
journey, there is a climax, a resolution.
Peace, joy, abundant blessings, and reward are yours here
on earth.
Enjoy!
There will be more mountains, but now you know how to climb
them. And you have learned the secret of what is at the top......
abundant life! Freedom! Everything that your heart has desired.
It will all come to pass.
Remember to keep climbing to the top, don't look back. You
will make it because God is leading the way and has a hold on
you that will never release. He will make sure that you have
success. You will make it. Don't give up! And remember, I love
you, but God loves you so much more than I ever could
