         Man awards medals as a sign of great valor, noble deeds, and great courage. But I bestow upon you a greater reward! I give you My Golden Heart Award--this tender, golden heart--as a sign of My love. For yours is a tender, gentle, sensitive heart--sensitive in spirit, and now sensitive in flesh--one that is in need of great care, that you may know that I, and I alone, will hold you and sustain you.
         My ways are not as man's ways, and My thoughts are not as man's thoughts. Think not that it is a hindrance to have what man calls a weak heart. Look not upon this weak heart as a hindrance, but as a step forward. Fear not for this light affliction, but look on it as a great honor--the honor of My Golden Heart Award! Wear it proudly, that you and those around you may know that this tender, delicate heart is a sign that it is I, and I alone, that will sustain you! I have promised and I will perform My promises.
         Wear it proudly and give Me the glory, knowing that your golden heart is in My hands, and it is I that will turn it and keep it, day by day, hour by hour, moment by moment, as you keep your golden heart firmly fixed on Me.
         As your heart of flesh, this tender heart, is in need of great care, know that this condition of heart may serve as an ever-present reminder that I hold and care for you. And that as I care for you, you may accomplish My will, and turn right around and hold and care for others. For unto whom much is given, of the same is much required.
