YOU CAN FEEL SECURE, EVEN IN THE Midst of cataclysmic changes, through awareness of My continual Presence. The One who never leaves you is the One who never changes. I am the same yesterday, today and forever.
Dear Jesus, We think what You are saying is: Because You never change, we have a firm foundation for handling whatever changes come our way. You are that foundation - the Rock on which we can build our life. However, catastrophes tend to destroy what people have built. We don't think we are ready to face cataclysmic changes yet.
Beloved, I am indeed the firm foundation on which you can build your life. The significance of your life is not in buildings or other things that can be swept away by catastrophes. Though I want you to enjoy the material blessings I provide, you must not depend on them to feel safe. Real security rests in Me alone - not in Me plus favorable circumstances. If you build your life on the Rock of My Presence, nothing can destroy that foundation. It is invincible! Moreover, the essence of who you are - your soul - is indestructible.
You said you are not yet ready to face cataclysmic change. I don't expect you to be ready for that until the moment it actually occurs. But I am training you to trust Me enough to believe you can handle anything that happens - with My help. Remember My promise that I will never leave you or forsake you. Though My Presence with you is absolutely guaranteed, it reassures you only to the extent that you are aware of Me. I am vibrantly present in all your moments, but sometimes you have to search for Me. Seek Me as a vital necessity - not a luxury - and you will find Me: search for Me with all your heart.
- Jesus
