FJWL_02:114
         Behold, I see smiles, so many smiles--rejoicing, happy, delighted, thrilled, encouraged and inspired! These are the happy smiles of so many souls, so many precious ones who have been in darkness for so long and are seeing the light. These smiles radiate into Heaven, and warm and cheer My heart! What are these smiles but reflections of your smile, My dear one, reflecting My light from you to them and bringing them back to Heaven, to Me. This thrills and cheers My heart more than I can say!
         I am very grateful to you, for you have ministered with all of your heart, with great love, and beautiful songs; years of laboring in My fields of harvest to bring forth My love and salvation, eternal life to these who were lost in darkness.
         The glory of the Lord has shone upon you! Is it any wonder that I would then want to reward you for your many years of faithful service to Me? I am greatly pleased with your every labor of love. I have seen your tears. I have seen your moments of desperation. I have seen that you are leaning on Me, and not depending on yourself.
         You may think you have failed and that you have not done enough. But if you could see the stars in your crown, the precious ones whose lives have been changed, who will be hugging you and embracing you in Heaven and thanking you for this gift of eternal life, then you would see as I see, that your service and your sacrifice and even your prayers to Me have never been in vain.
         All of the angels in Heaven rejoice when there is one soul saved! What you have done in ministering to others through your witness, or through allowing others to witness, has been a great and mighty thing in My eyes!
