FJWL_01:46
         Not one thing that I have spoken will fail. All will be fulfilled and all will be answered according to My will and My purpose. That which you do not understand today may be because it is not My time to fully reveal to you My complete plan and purpose. Only believe and trust, even though you do not understand. For My ways are not your ways, and you can never know the mind of God by trying to understand and analyze with your own fleshly mind. I will reveal My thoughts and My ways by the power of My Spirit to those who are receptive, yielded and believing, who will receive My voice with faith, love and appreciation.
         I promise that if you will hold on by faith--not even knowing if you have the strength to hold on--you will not fail, and you will come forth as finer gold! Those who pass through the fire and through the Jordan and continue to keep their eye on the other side, who have been through the deep waters and the hot flames of testing, are those who come out as finer gold. I test you now, My love, that all the dross and impurities may be melted away. So fear not the testing, for I purify you out of love, and I cleanse you in answer to your prayers.
         My love, this is simply one of your testing times. I know it is difficult, and the tests and trials run deep. You feel your faith shaken and think that you may not be able to stand. But you are not alone, My love. The others around you, whom you feel are doing so much better than you, will also face tests and difficulties. For I love each of My children, and I care for each one, and train each one, and teach each one the lessons that are needed.
