Be not afraid. I am your God, your deliverer.

From all evil, I will deliver you. Trust Me. Fear not.

Never forget your "Thank You."

Do you see that it is a lesson?

You must say "Thank You" on the grayest days.

You must do it. All can not be light unless you do.

It is absolutely necessary.

My death upon the Cross was not only necessary to save the world,

it was necessary, if only to train My disciples.

It was all a part of their training:

My entering Jerusalem in triumph; My washing the disciple’s feet;

My sorrow time in the garden of Gethsemane;

My being despised, judged, crucified, buried.

Every step was necessary to their development,

and so it is with you.

If a gray day is not one of thankfulness,

the lesson has to be repeated until it is.

Not to everyone it is so.

But only to those who ask to serve Me well, and do much for Me.

A great work requires a great and careful training.
