Daily Devotional Based on Spiritual Classic He And I

Fear? O course, My little girl, it counts for expiation for your host-life, for the co-redemption. I Myself was afraid in Gethsemane. And what fear! There again we are together, since I wanted to share all your sufferings. Joyously consent to share Mine. This means so much to Me. Do you see My part in your life-supreme love desiring only at-onement with you? It is for this end that I arrange the events of your life. (Jesus, July 27, 1944).

38 Then he said to them, “My soul is very sorrowful, even to death; remain here, and watch with me.” 39 And going a little farther he fell on his face and prayed, “My Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as thou wilt.” (Matthew 26:38-40).

17 and if children, then heirs, heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, provided we suffer with him in order that we may also be glorified with him. (Romans 8:17-18).

Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
    and do not rely on your own insight.
6 In all your ways acknowledge him,
    and he will make straight your paths. (Proverbs 3:5-6).

O Lord we love You, we adore You and we praise You because You are a God who understands our fears. You walked the Earth and shared all of our sufferings and our fears and now You ask us to enter into Your suffering not only to heal us and redeem us but that we would be co-heirs and co-redeemers with You! (Colossians 1:24). It means so much to You when we offer our sufferings, not only out of resignation but of love! You seek union with us not only in Heaven but here on Earth and You arrange the events of our lives so that all would come together for good (Romans 8:28) for those who love You! Lord may we trust in You always with all of our hearts, leaning not on our own understanding, acknowledging You, the author of our lives!
