FJWL_01:247
         You mean so much to Me, more than you know. You are so very precious to Me. You are one of My Own very dear children who I will not let fall to the ground. I will pick you up and hold you and carry you for as long as you need. I will nurture you and nourish you and strengthen you through your affliction, because I love you.
         But in order for Me to pick you up and carry you, you must first cast yourself down at My feet. I want you and only you. Leave everything else behind. I have no need of anything else in your life, for all things that you possess come from My hand. I have given them to you as My love gifts, and I want you to have them. But when you come to Me, you need only bring yourself.
         Give Me your heart and your mind and your soul. It is you and only you that I want. I have a great love for you, and I long for your love. I long for your heart to yearn for Me as Mine yearns for you. I long for your eyes to be upon Me with longing looks of love. I long to know that you need Me more than anything else.
         Cast yourself down at My feet, that I may bestow upon you the gifts of My Spirit that shall never fail you. You shall not repent of these gifts, but you shall cherish them eternally. Therefore, bow down before Me. Put your hands and your face upon the ground in utter surrender and yieldedness to Me--your loving Father, your King and Lord. Come before Me in humility and meekness and know that I will not despise you, but that I wait for you and will receive you with open arms and with tenderness, love, gratitude, warmth and encouragement that will fill you to overflowing.
