My Dearest Terry,

I have long admired all your efforts. I am impressed to share with you a passage that has gotten me through so many rough times.

From Yeshua's first message:

***Matthew 7:7-11 Ask, and it shall be given to you. Seek, and you shall find. Knock, and it shall be opened to you. Everyone that asks, will receive. He that seeks, will find. To him who knocks, it shall be opened.***

***What man is there among you, who, if his son asks bread, will he give him a stone (that looks like a loaf of bread)? Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a venomous serpent?***

***If you, being influenced by evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good things to those who ask him?***

Be encouraged to ask your Heavenly Father for wisdom and daily bread. As you are on a path "in the valley of the shadow of death," take each and every step that you can. 

But I must warn you that my husband describes the steps in one of our trials this way: "Sometimes I couldn't even see the edge of the next step. I just new the next step was in that direction. So I would put out my foot in that direction and then I would feel the step come up to meet me."

Remember, Jehovah is your shepherd, do not want a different path. While you are in the valley of the shadow of death, do not fear evil because Jehovah is with you. Jehovah's teachings will provide you guidance and comfort and even protection, just as a shepherd's rod and staff.

Jehovah will prepare a table before you in the presence of your enemies, He will anoint you with oil (to set you apart for mission and ministry). Jehovah will cause your cup to be filled to overflowing. 

In every moment, Jehovah is seeking to insert His reassurance to you. Watch for His hand blocking the unending wave of evil. Even when it seems evil is poring unending fire upon you, Jehovah is saying to evil, "This far, no farther." In the darkest of the dark, thank Jehovah for this mercy. 

I will testify to you, in my darkest times, I have found little amazing shards of peace and joy. In the dark, they glimmer a beautiful light. BUT it is necessary to watch for them. Keep your eyes open for them. The darkness wants to hide them. 

These little glimmers are there as as way for Jehovah to restore your soul. It is necessary, for His reputation's sake, to lead you into paths of righteousness. Jehovah will provide you moments, sometimes only minutes long, sometimes hours, sometimes days to lie down in a green pasture and walk beside still waters.

Always remember, the power that Yeshua used to calm the storm was the same power Jehovah used to divide the Red Sea. Jehovah and Yeshua walk with those who follow the instructions of Jehovah, just as Yeshua did and taught his followers to do.

They are with you. They will provide for you in the midst of this storm and they will hold the storm back as you discern the path. 

It may be that you are in for a life-long war with evil in the presence of many watchers. Many prophets and followers of Jehovah and Yeshua have endured this for the Glory of Jehovah. If this is your lot in life, always remember to equip yourself with Yehovah's instructions and always seek His guidance in each encounter and battle, just as David did when he was winning. 

And know that Yehovah has chosen you to minister as you can, where you can. You may feel defeated in this moment, but Jehovah is not. He has many plans for you.

Always remember this: Jehovah's goodness and loving-kindness will follow you all the days of your life; and you live in the presence of Yehovah and Yeshua with the Spirit of Truth as a constant encourager. 

I ask Yehovah to honor His name and His reputation and I ask Yehovah to see how you love and honor your parents and how you long to care for your family and the many precious people around you and all the people you can reach. I ask Him to see it is your belief in the power of Yehovah that causes you to want to bless so many people. I ask Yehovah to see how you have tried over and over in the face of adversity to provide paths to a better life for other people. And I ask Him to honor you in your efforts.

May Yehovah bless you and guard you.
May Yehovah's face enlighten you and bestow favor on you.
May Yehovah turn to face you, lavishing peace on (in) you!

The scriptures woven into this letter to you are numerous. They rolled into this letter of their own accord. Obviously there's Psalm 23. I will take some time to track down the other reference points. But I keep feeling impressed to hurry and send this. 

I am also asking Yehovah to spare us all from sorrow upon sorrow by providing you with joy and peace in our view, in our time.

I have noticed I've been flipping between Yehovah and Jehovah. It is the same. I'm sure you know.

Much love to you,
Marilla
