Please know that I love you, and I will always love you. As you go through life, that is probably going to be one of your biggest tests—to be able to believe in My love for you.

Many people are tested so strongly on that point that they lose all faith. They become so confused by the spiritual struggle that is going on inside them that they feel the only way they can go on, the only way they can cope, is to tell themselves that I don’t exist, that it is all just fantasy. Of course, it is not simply them telling themselves that; it is the enemy of their soul, the Devil, telling them that. He has usually been attacking their faith for a long time, trying to destroy what faith they had, and finally he is able to come along and put what he believes are going to be the last nails in the coffin, convincing them that I am not even real and that My Word is just a myth.

You can never be too bad for Jesus. That’s like saying, “I am too sick to go to the doctor. I need to get better first.”

But I am real! Even these who have reached such depths of discouragement know that I am real and that I am ever present. The trouble is that they feel I could no longer possibly love them, and that My Word would never again work for them. That thought is so painful that in self-defense they have hardened their hearts and found it much easier to go along with what the Devil and others are telling them—that I am a lie.

But am I a lie? Is My love a lie? You know that I am not a lie and that My love is true. I know that at times you may feel that I can no longer love you, and that perhaps you don’t deserve for Me to even be concerned with you or what you are doing. You may at times find it hard to believe that My Word will work for you or that you can claim My promises, but that isn’t true.

I am just as real for you now as I ever was. I’m married to you—forever. There will be no bill of divorcement. Even if the Enemy tells you that you’ve written up the divorce papers yourself and signed them, I will never sign. I will always be your Husband, your Protector, your Savior, your Guardian. I will never leave you comfortless.

Of course, there are conditions to My promises of blessing and protection. Those who do their best to stay close to Me and to do what they know to be right will receive more help and support and blessings in all they do.

I am not giving you a license to go and do as you please with a devil-may-care attitude and think that you’ll still be able to count on My abundant blessings. Those who follow that kind of lifestyle will have a big price to pay, much more than you could possibly imagine, as so many have already found out. They paid the price for their short-lived pleasures. Still, I promise that no matter what happens, I will never leave you. I’ll always be ready to stand by your side when you want Me. Nothing can take you away from Me—nothing! Nothing will separate you from My love. Please know that that is true.

Sometimes the voice of My Spirit will be warning you, chiding you, cautioning you, and you must heed this voice. Other times you will hear voices that simply tell you thoughts of woe—that you are no good, that things are hopeless, that nothing will ever work out for you, that no one loves you, and so forth. The Devil will seek to put thoughts and feelings of misery, despondency, condemnation, and even depression within your mind. These thoughts will often swarm about you at the same time as the fears and doubts that I don’t love you, that I don’t care, that I’m not there for you at all. These are all lies of Satan and part of his spirit of misery and depression.

Please reach out for Me and call on Me when these feelings come upon you, because if you start to accept and believe the Devil’s lies, even about yourself and your abilities, then he can keep working on you until you’re convinced you’re a total failure, no good, and that no one and nothing can help you—not even Me. Don’t believe him when he tells you no one loves you, because I do. Don’t believe him when he tells you that your life is hopeless, because it is not. Don’t let him tell you I have forsaken you, because I will never forsake you.

Wherever you go, I will go; you will never have to be alone. I will always be there for you. I will always love you. I am always waiting for you to come to Me and pour out your heart to Me. Please don’t think that you are too bad for Me or that I will no lon
