My dear Child, I have heard you asking in your heart "Why have you allowed all these apparently terrible things to happen in my life, I just don't understand it?" Though you may not understand it right now, just like my servant Joseph I have been creating things in you through the experiences you have endured so that you could fulfill the calling I have placed upon your life. Though you do not understand now what I have done, you will fully understand later on why this was all so necessary.

Will you continue to trust me now even though you do not understand what I have allowed to happen in your life? Will you continue to look and to wait upon me for fresh direction even though you cannot see a path in front of you to take right now? I have not forgotten you and I will be just as faithful as I have always been to lead you forward when the time is just right. I am looking at my watch right now for exactly the right time to send you forward, and that time is nearly here even now.

Do not give up your hope or trust in me in this day of strange testings. I know you are weary and confused right now, but this is a time to draw closer to me, not to draw away from me in distrust. Remember all the good things that I have done for you in the past and how I have always been faithful to you even when you were not so faithful to me. Would I abandon you now in your day of greatest need? No, of course not. I am with you my precious one, and I will indeed fulfill all the words I have spoken concerning you. The vision I have given you for your life is indeed real, and I will help you to stand in it this very day. This is your day of joy not doubt, so stand up I say!
