From the translator’s journal ~Today’s words of Jesus~

I would like to share today’s words of Jesus by Sarah Young:

January 23

IT’S ALL RIGHT TO BE HUMAN. When your mind wanders while you are praying, don’t be surprised or upset. Simply return your attention to Me. Share a secret smile with Me, knowing that I understand. Rejoice in My Love for you, which has no limits or conditions. Whisper My Name in loving contentment, assured that I will never leave you or forsake you. Intersperse these peaceful interludes abundantly throughout your day. This practice will enable you to attain a quiet and gentle spirit, which is pleasing to Me.
As you live in close contact with Me, the Light of My Presence filters through you to belss others. Your weakness and woundedness are the openings through which the Light of the knowledge of My Glory shines forth. My strength and power show themselves most effective in your weakness.

　　　Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because
　　　of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never
　　　leave you nor forsake you. ー Deuteronomy 31:6

　　　Instead, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of gentle
　　　and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God’s sight. ー 1 Peter 3:4

　　　For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” made his light shine
　　　in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the
　　　face of Christ. But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-
　　　surpassing power is from God and not from us. ー 2 Corinthians 4:6-7

　　　But He said to me . . . My strength and power are made perfect
　　　(fulfilled and completed) and show themselves most effective
　　　in [your] weakness. ー 2 Corinthians 12:9 AMP
