<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Dear One,\u00a0<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Trying to “take in” the whole picture can be very frightening.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u00a0I know from experience.\u00a0<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

You feel as though the weight of the world is upon you, and you can barely breathe, let along function.\u00a0<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I have learned to take one day at a time.\u00a0<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Live that day as fully as I can and thank my Abba God for the joys, and ask His forgiveness for the mis-steps.
\nYou may not feel His presence all the time, or hear His still, small voice, but, trust that He is with you always, and is eagerly waiting for you to call to Him. His hands are always outstretched and His arms are always there for you to lean upon.\u00a0<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

He loves you dearly.\u00a0<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Take His hand, lean on His arm.\u00a0<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Accept His wonderful love pouring out toward you this very moment.\u00a0<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

You will make your Abba so very happy.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u00a0And you will feel happy, too.\u00a0<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

He knows what is best for you. He desires only the best for His children.
\nRest in His arms and in His love, my sister.
\nHe is our Safehaven.\u00a0<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

My love to you and my prayers.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
