Many can love Me to a certain extent through their work, by doing what I ask them. This is not wrong, but as I have said before, I desire your love most of all. More than your service, more than your works, more than any other outward show, I desire your heart.
When you give your heart to Me fully, then I am able to satisfy your heart. Then that longing for the world, that emptiness, that wanting to fill your life with new and exciting things, is no longer the same. Yes, you still desire to go forward in your life, to experience and to live and to love, but the emptiness is not there.
I open My arms to all. I call all to come into My bed of love, to yield themselves to Me and to let Me fill them with My love, My happiness, My anointing, My fulfillment and My strength. Yet very few choose to come as My surrendered bride and give their all to Me. But they cannot know My love and experience its blessings unless they come to Me, willing to strip themselves of their pride, their own thoughts and opinions, the pretenses that they hold up, the talents and the vain show. Unless they are willing to give all and to lie in My arms and be My bride, I cannot fulfill all that they long for in their hearts.
If they only knew! If they could only see that which I long to give unto them, how I desire their love, how I long to hold and to comfort, to fulfill their every desire and their every thought, to make them fruitful in My service, to make their heart fulfilled and bursting with joy, overflowing with My love to pour out on others! For in this is true happiness and true fulfillment.
