         Take heart, My dear one, My darling! Know that I am your Husband and the Father of your children. I will never cease to care for you and love you and comfort you as My Own. Your children are My children. I will supply their needs and encamp them round about with the angels of My protection. I will let no evil befall them.
         Do not fear even for this wayward one's future. Do not be dismayed or condemned about the choices that he makes, for even he is in My hand, and My love for him is unfailing and unconditional. I love him as My wayward son, My prodigal son. I will encamp My angels round about him as well, and in due time, when he so chooses, I will bring him back to Me and to you.
         I have placed in his hand the majesty of choice--whether he will learn the easy way or whether he will go the way of the transgressor, which is hard. But even if he goes the way of the transgressor, and even if he may suffer many things as he travels the road of the wayward son, still I will have My hand upon him and I will cause all things to work together for good in his life. For he is My son, and no one or nothing will be able to pluck him out of My hand.
         His rebellion and hardheartedness is only for a time--only a moment in time when compared with all eternity. So do not fret, and do not let the Devil condemn you! Do not waste time with remorse and guilt. Give your wayward son your unconditional love, and trust Me for his future.
