not standing alone

this, from my quiet time this morning, journal open:

Blaise Pascal said
the heart has its reasons
which reason knows nothing of
but I desire to know beyond knowing
You are the reason for all

I know it is not an easy thing to stand, little one
no simple task to set yourself
against the enemy
against the world
against your own flesh
against the human heart that wants what it wants
now - when it wants it

As I call that heart to Mine
I call it to wait
I call it to stillness
I call it to rest

until you know
that heart has always beaten 
with My power and My purposes
let that be your strength

never have you stood alone
