Jesus:
My child, I want you to know that I am in complete control, that everything good or not so good in your opinion; comes from me.
I am the master of affliction. It may sound very cruel; and many of you reject my judgments.
At the first sign of trial, pain, disappointment, or affliction you start doubting of my divine providence. In the good times you ignore me, in the bad times you come asking me to remove your afflictions, little do you know that these are for your own good. If I didn't put you through the fire of tribulation, how then could you be tested? If I didn't correct you, how then could you be straightened?
What is tribulation, but a Divine Decree? The fact that all mortals have to pay for their immortality.
It was decreed, you shall return to the dust where you came from, and the way comes with pain and affliction.
It was also said you shall earn your daily bread by the sweat of your face; this doesn't only refer to your daily food, but to the living bread which has come down from heaven.
For this curse on your immortality, I was afflicted with all your afflictions, until I died on the cross to pay for your sins.
I took the curse upon Me, but it is the Divine Will that you share in my suffering, I didn't remove your afflictions but I gave you Eternal Joy.
The Bread of Life is to be eaten with sorrow and affliction at the foot of my cross.
The daily crosses that you receive are the test that you must endure to prove your love to God, to show your obedience and submission to the Will of God.
No human being has escaped the rod of affliction, because no human being has done the will of the Father. (Except my mother). You are children of disobedience and God has every right to put you to the test.
To reject my will is to put me to the test and to increase the weight of your cross.
Receive my cross with Love, yes, my yoke is easy and my burden is light.
The joy of Paradise was disrupted by sin and disobedience, You don't live in a world without pain because that is only reserved for Heaven.
You must endure the trials that I send you and come out of the furnace of tribulation pure and undefiled like the finest gold.
How blind and stubborn can you be when you reject the gift of my cross, because you don't see it as a gift but as a curse. My cross gives you the power to overcome your ignorance with my wisdom.
My cross is rich in virtues; so crucify your disobedience to my will, crucify your carnal desires to my purity, and crucify your attachments to the things of this world to my poverty.
Without your crucifixion on the Calvary of Humility, there won't be any resurrection for you, because you can not be called children of God when you reject the gift that God has sent you: THE CROSS.
