         When men's hearts are empty, they are unhappy and unfulfilled. They desire to be happy and to satisfy the hunger that they have. They look around and they see that which is appealing in the System, and they try to fill their vacuum. But what they do not see or understand is that in order to receive the full benefit of My promises, they must fulfill their part--not in name only, or in the things which they think they must do, or for any other motive but to please Me.
         This is not easy for some, for they think they will find no happiness in laying down their lives in sacrifice or in surrendering their all to Me. They do not see how that could make them any happier or fill the vacuum that they have in their heart.
         But those who give their all in love for Me and yieldedness to My Spirit, laying down their life in unselfishness, experience the true joys and ecstasies of My Spirit which are beyond comparison with anything else in this world! This satisfies the heart like nothing else can. It fills the need and satisfies the hunger. But the only way this comes is through full surrender and yieldedness unto Me, and loving Me.
