         All things are done in love. Every touch of My hand is a loving one. Though on the outward appearance, this particular touch of My hand on your son's life seems so heavy and grievous to be borne, I promise you that I will prove that My yoke is easy and My burden is light. Yea, even more than that, I will prove to you that this touch from My hand is My love for you.
         For this turn in the road opens up a new path down which I call your family to walk, and the ending of the path is not clearly visible from the starting point.
         You are My beloved children, My beloved team--husband and wife--who have endured much together for the sake of your love for Me, for the sake of your love for each other, for the sake of your children, for the sake of your sample. Do you think that I would so easily and without feeling for your hearts place before you an obstacle which you would be unable to climb over?
         I place My hands about you and about your little one. I keep and guard and protect, for you are Mine.
         You are so very precious unto Me, and I will strengthen your hearts. I will lift up your heads and I will raise up your shoulders as they are bowed under this heavy burden and weight that you feel. I will lift the heaviness from your heart and will bring joy and happiness into your soul as you look unto Me. I will lighten you.
         They that put their trust in Me are safe. Therefore put your trust in Me. Help your young one to put his trust in Me, for then you, your young one and your family will be safe--safe in My keeping, safe in My love, safe in My tenderness, safe in My protection and My healing. You will rest in My deliverance and in My wisdom, for I know best and I will perfect that which I have ordained unto the end. You will look upon it and marvel, for you will see that the works of My hands are pure and perfect and just and good.
         You will emerge victorious in the face of battle, and the Enemy shall hide his shame and shall cower before you, as you trumpet your victory throughout the land. For He Who stands and fights by your side is strong and mighty, and never a battle has been lost to Him. Take heart, My children. Take courage in the One Who fights beside you, for I am He.
