I WATCH OVER ALL WHO LOVE Me. Let this promise of My watch-care comfort you -- especially during difficult days. This promise is for you because you love Me. Of course, it is not a matter of earning My protection by loving Me. However, those who belong to Me - and are under My watchful care - are the ones who love Me. This is a response to what I have done: You love Me because I first loved you.
In times of extreme danger and destruction, even courageous adults sometimes cry out for their parents' help, This is an instinctive response, flowing out of childhood memories. When people are afraid, they long to feel protected by someone who is bigger and stronger. Be assured that I am always watching over you - like a shepherd watching over his flock. Sometimes you may feel alone and unprotected. The remedy is to trust that I am with you and to start communicating with Me -- pouring out your heart. Expressing yourself freely to Me will help you become aware of My watchful, loving Presence.
- Jesus
