         It is My will to use you as tools of love. For I am love. This is the word that best describes My nature. There are many hindrances to love, but because you have committed yourself, I will show you how to break down the hindrances. I will show you how to remove the obstacles, and I will help you to be vessels of My love.
         But first you must let Me fill you up! A vessel that is moving cannot be filled; you must be still. You must provide the time for Me to fill you. You must be as hungry, empty vessels with open mouths, still and waiting for Me to fill you up. You must take this time with Me for refilling, for you cannot pour out of an empty vessel.
         Do you think you can pour of yourselves? You will find very soon that your own love will be found wanting. As you rub one against another, the idiosyncrasies and the quirks of another will frustrate you and you will say, "Where is this great love that I am supposed to have?" You cannot do it by yourself, for even the little things will irk you. But you can do it in My power! As you fill up on Me and My glorious love, you will have more than enough, and this love will pour out on everyone you meet!
         As you spend time with Me, you will go forth from your chamber with My love shining on your face! Those who see you will know that it is not of you, but it is of Me. For this does not come from your own might or your own power or your own habits or your own knowing how to love. As you retire into your chamber and spend time with Me, I will teach you to love (ML #3011).
