THE NEED FOR GREATER FAITH

O MY CHILD, DO NOT EXPECT THE TRAILS TO BE LIGHTER THAN IN THE PAST.

WHY SHOULD YE THINK THE TESTINGS WOULD BE LESS SEVERE? LO, I PROVE ALL THINGS, AND THERE ARE AREAS OF THY LIFE THAT I HAVE NOT TOUCH AS OF YET.

DO NOT LOOK FOR RESPITE. THE DAYS AHEAD MAY CALL FOR GREATER ENDURANCE AND MORE ROBUST FAITH THAN YE HAVE EVER NEEDED BEFORE. WELCOME THIS, FOR YE MUST SURELY KNOW BY THIS TIME HOW PRECIOUS ARE THE LESSONS LEARNED THROUGH SUCH EXPERIENCES. IF IT IS NOT FULLY POSSIBLE TO ANTICIPATE THEM WITH JOY, IT IS CERTAINLY NOT DIFFICULT TO GAIN AN APPROPRIATE APPRECIATION OF THEM AFTERWARDS, IN RETROSPECT.

APPLY THINE HEART TO LEARN WISDOM. THIS GOAL TRANSCENDS EVERY OTHER AIM, AND ANY OTHER GOOD THAT COMES OUT OF THE PRESSURE PERIOD IS AN ADDED BLESSING IN EXCESS.

SEEK ME ABOVE ALL ELSE.
