YOU must learn to stand on your own feet and find your own individual path to function in the overall plan. Draw only from Me, the source of all life and all creation; then you cannot go wrong. Never waver when the going becomes difficult, but simply go steadily forward, knowing that it is but a rough patch you are moving through. The quicker you move through it the better, with as little resistance and resentment as possible, learning important and necessary lessons every step of the way. You must learn to hold on, to be very patient and persistent, and not to give up easily. Hold the vision before you. Know where you are going and what it is that has to be achieved, and then never let it go until you have seen it brought about. You cannot be faint-hearted in this life. It calls for that inner strength and knowing which nothing can shatter or throw off balance. Let your strength and security be in Me.
