FJWL_01:81
         (While Peter was experiencing severe heart pains, the Lord said:) So does My heart hurt!--For the lost! So does My heart pain!--For those who have pain, and those who are lost, and those who are brokenhearted! So does My heart hurt!--For the war-torn and the weary; for those that thirst in the heat of the desert for My water, and those that freeze in the cold and seek for My warmth; for those that are lost and lonely and seek for My love. My heart aches and My heart breaks for these!
         This is but a token of the pain that I suffer and the hurt that I feel for the lost and for the lonely, for the hurting and for the sick, for the dying and for those who do not know Me. For they seek and they die without Me. My heart aches for them, for I long for them to be with Me. But they must hear of Me. They must receive My Words. And how can they receive My Words unless you give them to them?
         My Words are the leaves that heal, that warm, that quench the thirst, that give light in darkness. The world waits and they hurt and they suffer. Their hearts ache, and the void of their heart is not filled with Me because they have yet to hear My Words and My kisses, My message. They need My leaves that heal their wounds, that heal the suffering!
         I wish to fill their bellies and fill their hearts and fill their spirits. And this is the pain that I suffer for them, for I know their hearts and I know that they suffer and they are lost and they are lonely and they are hungry and they need My Words. They need Me and they need My truth. So have I commissioned you to go into all the world and preach the Gospel to every creature.
         Go forth, My children! Go forth to relieve the pain! Relieve their pain and relieve My pain! For as their hearts are healed by Me, so is My heart healed. Give them My Words; yes, give them My Words! For this is the calling that I have given you--to go forth, to preach the Gospel, to heal the brokenhearted, to bind up their wounds, to give them the oil of gladness. This is the fast that I have chosen, that you pour forth your bread to the hungry and your water to the thirsty; that you share your light and your love with the lost and the lonely; that you give them the direction that you have been given, that they may find the way (ML #2990).
