FJWL_01:103
         I have heard your prayer, I have seen your tears, and they are precious in My sight. Though you may feel that this is one of the lowest times you have ever been through, yet in My eyes it is a precious time. I feel you closer to My heart than you have ever been before. As I hold you in My hands and I behold your beauty--the beauty of your tears and your prayers before Me, the beauty of your surrender, the beauty of your humility in coming before My feet and saying, "Nothing in my hands I bring, simply to Thy cross I cling"--as I behold this I love you. I hold you close to My heart, and I comfort you.
         But you must let Me comfort you. I wish to reward you greatly for your sacrifice and your love for Me, for laying all on the altar of sacrifice. I wish to reward you greatly, but you must reach up and take the gift from My hands. You must have faith to reach out and receive from Me. It is nothing that can be earned or that can be worked for. I wish to give it to you freely in My love for you.
         Each one must make the decision to accept My peace and My comfort. And though this time seems long, it is only a moment. You will be rewarded greatly for your faith, your obedience, and your humility in giving all to Me. Through this I will be able to use you greatly.
