The “C & S Gang” September 17 Notes from Papa via Paul Gray
To My cherished child, whom I want to encourage today,
Situations and circumstances— the “C & S Gang”— are weighing heavily on you and pulling you down into discouragement, but you don’t have to go there! Jesus tells you, “These things I have spoken to you so that in Me you may have peace.” He forewarned you that, “In the world, you have tribulation, but take courage, I have overcome the world.”
Notice the two times He said “in.” You live “in” the world, but you are “In Christ,” and believe Me, He has overcome the world! No matter how discouraging any situation or circumstance may seem to you, He, Jesus- who is in you, is greater than any discouragement in the world.
That doesn’t necessarily mean We will change your situation or circumstance. But We want you always know that We are with you, We are in you and you are in Us! We know what is going on and We aren’t surprised by it. We are already working all things out for the ultimate good for you and everyone. We are for you!
Here’s where faith and trust in Us comes in. When you believe the truth that We love you, We’re for you, We’re working this out for your good, then you can experience this situation confidently and securely knowing that nothing can ever separate you from Us and Our love.
You can do all things, including this thing, through and empowered by My strength that I have given you and that lives in you. The end result of these situations and circumstances will ultimately be for good. You may not be able to see that end result until the life-after, but you can believe Me and trust Me until then.
When you do, you experience My peace. I become your peace and that comes with My deep-seated joy that your Papa holds you in His arms, protects you and keeps you safe forever.
That is absolutely true— I do all that and exceedingly abundantly more for you today and every day. I love you always and I am always for you. Anytime you need reminding of that truth, just ask Me… I’m always with you and always ready to remind you of My love for you!
~Love, Papa
