FJWL_01:36
         Who will answer the call? Who will truly live the Words of David? Are you as those who say, "Be ye warmed and filled," yet supply not that which your brother or sister needs? Or are you as those who, like the man on the road to Jericho, lift up the weak and the wounded and say, "I will care for you, and whatsoever it costs, that will I pay"?
         Lift up your eyes and look unto your brethren. See these that are so desperate, and pour forth your love. For how can you say that herein dwells the love of God if you have these in need in your presence and you care not for them and give them not the love and attention that they need, and do not care for the children?--My children, your children, our children!
         For these ones are so tender and so broken and so in need of love and care and attention. And their children are so in need of love and stability, of someone that they can look to and say, "I know this one cares for me, for he leaves me not."
         Look not to your own feelings, but look unto the needs of others. Look unto the needs of these little ones who are so desperate, and who do not understand why they are not like others, why they do not have a daddy.
         Oh, that My children had such love! For no greater love has anyone than this, that you lay down your life, that you lay down your loved one, that you lay down your own selfishness and your own desires for your brethren. So take them in! Take them! Gently gather them in, that they be no more fatherless, that they be no more widows, but that all may be one (ML #2979).
