FJWL_01:199
         You have learned to love and to serve and to give in your serving, but your serving will now need to be more filled with love. Ponder what I have told of Martha, who did not recognize that the Spirit had visited her enough to stop and to look and to listen, to stop from striving and working and being recognized in works, and learn to simply sit at My feet and be refilled and empowered. In this resting upon Me and stopping and tanking up and refilling, you will have love that you know not of.
         Have I not given you the example of the Samaritan on the road to Jericho? There are many such occasions even in your everyday life where I would that you would stop and touch and caress and hug and listen and heal and pray. For all these are a part of My love and My care and My concern for those upon whom I wish to bestow a touch of healing. So be touched with My love, that you may touch others.
         Will you say, "I have given once--it is enough"? For there will be many upon the road of your day; many occasions for you to recognize a need for love. Therefore stop your working and be touched by My Spirit. For as you have done it unto the least of these, you have done it unto Me.
         Have I not given you the sample of the good shepherd who leaves the ninety-and-nine--the duty, the responsibility, the administration, all that he thinks he must do--and his heart is pulled toward the one who cries and needs, to rescue those that are in need? Therefore, think not that you know what to do, but look and listen, and I will whisper in your ears what I see within the outward appearance. Learn to look upon the heart, for I see not as man sees (ML #3011).
