“For I am the LORD your God who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you.” —Isaiah 41:13

I love you! I really do. You believe in it, but you don’t take it all in. You hear it every day from Me. But then you go on thinking about your trial and how difficult it is. My child, this is what is making you sad every day. My love is greater than your trial. And you’re not receiving My love in its entirety. When you fully receive My love, you think about Me—which yields joyous thoughts. I understand that your trial is painful. My heart still breaks for you every day. I know your circumstances have changed such that you are often in lonely situations—and this contributes to your sadness. But please remember, you are never alone—I Am always with you. I really Am! Similar to My love, you believe in My Presence, but you don’t take it all in. Remember, you are My child because you believe in My Son, Jesus—But also because you received Him! And that’s when our relationship became real! Know My love for you is real! Please receive all of it! My Presence with you is real! Please receive all of it! When you pray, I hear you, it’s real! When you hear back from Me while in My Presence or in My Word, it’s real! Sometimes you hear My silence reminding you to be still, to know I Am real! When you’re sad, know I Am right there next to you—My arms around you comforting you. I really Am! It’s real! My child, let’s start taking baby steps away from your sadness, okay? Beyond believing, keep your eyes on Me so you can fully receive My love and Presence. Easier said than done, I understand. But more than ever in the backdrop of your trial does My love and Presence become more real. Let’s do this, okay? We’ll do this at your pace. I’m right here, My child. Let Me take your right hand. I love you!
