         You have laid down your lives in love for one another. You have laid down your lives in love for Me and My work. You have given in sacrifice and you have had patience, and now I would that you might receive the reward. So often you do these things in dryness of spirit. You fulfill the letter of the law and you fulfill your duties faithfully and diligently, but you receive not the promise of the joy and the love.
         But I say unto you, say the words and you shall be healed. Say the words, "I love you!" Say the words, "Thank you!" Say the words, "I appreciate you!" Say these words of love and appreciation and tell one another what you feel, and you shall be healed. You shall feel the flowing water of My Spirit and the soothing warmth of My love enveloping you and transforming your Home, transforming your lives!
         You are married to one another, but so often your love and your marriage is a formality. You perform the duties and you fulfill the obligations, but you do not feel the love. But if you will only say the words, I will do the rest. The feelings of love and the joy of love will come if you will only say the words and live it. Look for it in faith and you shall feel that love and joy that you've read about and which you so earnestly desire (ML #3011).
