Comfort

A small group of convalescing soldiers and their families were waiting for Devorah when she emerged from the hospital tent. “Speak to us, Devorah,” a woman said, stepping forward smiling. “Comfort us.”

“The comfort is within you, beloved,” Devorah said. “I only awaken you to it. Know that the images you make cannot prevail against what God Itself would have you be. Spirit would not leave one source of pain unhealed, nor any image left to veil the truth. It would remove all misery and perplexity. Be never fearful of temptation, then, but see it as it is; another chance to choose again and let the strength of yourSelf flow through you and into the world.”
