Many there are who erroneously think that I test, train and bend to My Will.
I, Who bade the disciples take up the cross,
I loved to prepare a feast for them by the lakeside -
a little glad surprise, not a necessity, as the feeding of the multitude was.
I gave the wine-gift at the marriage feast.
As you love to plan surprises for those who
understand, and joy in them, so with Me.
I love to plan them for those who see My Love and
tender Joy in them.
Dear to the heart of My Father are those who see not only
My tears, the tears of a Savior, but the smile, the joy-smile of a friend.
