The Lord is saying: I Am here, and I Am with you. I will never leave you nor will I forsake you. You belong to Me, and there is nothing that can carry you away from Me, for I hold you with My everlasting love, which is the most powerful force there is. And when you love Me, this amplifies the attraction between us for it is love that holds us together. It is love that overcomes all struggles and difficulties in your lives, for love compels Me to constantly hold you tightly forever. It is those who do not know Me that are loosed from this powerful force called love, for they love themselves with their own strength, and sadly they will not know true Love until they see it from My righteous judgments that will befall them at the proper time. True love defends, and true love persecutes those who seek to do harm for My children, My loves, and My cherished ones, for if I let the enemy persecute My own, how could this be considered loving? Love holds close the object of that love, and this is demonstrated by the Cross of Calvary, for there My Son, Yeshua, Jesus the Christ, the firstborn of the dead, died for the sin of mankind so that anyone who believes in Him will have everlasting life in Me. It was love that led Jesus to lay down His life for you.
1 John 2:1-17 (ESV) My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you may not sin. But if anyone does sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous. 2 He is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the sins of the whole world. 3 And by this we know that we have come to know him, if we keep his commandments. 4 Whoever says “I know him” but does not keep his commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in him, 5 but whoever keeps his word, in him truly the love of God is perfected. By this we may know that we are in him: 6 whoever says he abides in him ought to walk in the same way in which he walked. 7 Beloved, I am writing you no new commandment, but an old commandment that you had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word that you have heard. 8 At the same time, it is a new commandment that I am writing to you, which is true in him and in you, because the darkness is passing away and the true light is already shining. 9 Whoever says he is in the light and hates his brother is still in darkness. 10 Whoever loves his brother abides in the light, and in him there is no cause for stumbling. 11 But whoever hates his brother is in the darkness and walks in the darkness, and does not know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes. 12 I am writing to you, little children, because your sins are forgiven for his name's sake. 13 I am writing to you, fathers, because you know him who is from the beginning. I am writing to you, young men, because you have overcome the evil one. I write to you, children, because you know the Father. 14 I write to you, fathers, because you know him who is from the beginning. I write to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God abides in you, and you have overcome the evil one. 15 Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For all that is in the world—the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride of life—is not from the Father but is from the world. 17 And the world is passing away along with its desires, but whoever does the will of God abides forever.
