Beloved child, how pleased I am with your growth in Me, that you are walking with Me and wanting to grow closer and closer.

I will reward you. I will lovingly put My arms around you and protect you from the evil one of this world.

You have My word to guide you, to instruct you.  Read it often.  Memorize those verses that are meaningful to you and repeat them often during the day.  They are as real and true for you, My child, as they were when they were written thousands of years ago.

Your desire for this closeness will never be denied.  I am beside you now.  Rest in that assurance.  And also, in the assurance that I have already overcome the world.  Nothing will ever come between us again unless it is by your will.

Go into the day, My beloved child.  I am right beside you!
