My dear children,
I look about the earth seeing you, my precious little ones, searching for answers to life's questions. I see your struggles ---- the pain and suffering which each must bear in your process of purification. Know, my children, it is not a question of luck as some would have it but circumstances permitted by God to cleanse each of His children. He does not look upon you as rich or poor nor the color of your skin for all are the same in His eyes. More often, it is the poor who are rich and the rich who are lacking. Accept the role you have been given ---- each with grateful hearts knowing you are loved and will be rewarded according to that which has been done in each life out of love! Deny yourselves that others might see and believe. Pray that your journey through life would be like a beautiful flower ---- fragrant to be near and pleasing to the eye. It is your heart, dear ones, into which Good looks. May the intentions of your hearts be pure. Peace and love!
