May you feel the love, presence, and tranquility of God, and may your love relationship with Him continue to grow throughout your life and beyond! A key question: What has God designed and placed us on this earthly journey to learn and/or do? Are your/my heart and action true to that calling? If so, are we being faithful to becoming what God created each of us individually to be? All is well Remember God’s words to His disciples, “This kind goes out but through prayer and fasting.” Always say, “All is well.” Long though the way may seem, there is no too much by half. God is not only with you on the journey, He planned it and is planning it. There are and will be unspeakable joys on that journey; look for them! Courage! Courage! Courage! Why are we so blind as to think earthly life is all there is? Why do we ignore the immense treasure of love? What does it take to understand and make it so?
