How many times I have longed to gather you up into My arms to hold and comfort you!  I see your distress, I hear your cries.

I am with you now, so close I can feel your breath.  Lay your head upon My shoulder and let your grief go, washing over and through you to a place where I hold all pain and sorrow.

It is held in the blood of Jesus.  All the earth’s sorrow and pain, is contained in His shed blood.  Come and cleanse yourself.  Let His blood flow freely over you, removing your confusion and grief.

I am with you now.  I have never left your side.  You are My beloved child.

Never let go, dear one, of My promises to you.  Face the day with courage.  You have been washed clean by the blood of the cross.
