         Open your hearts and receive My will. Accept that what I do is for the best, and is out of My love for you. Then you will look back and see My hand, and know that in wisdom I did these things. In great wisdom I planned them and brought them to pass so that you would be drawn closer to Me and strengthened, and that you might grow.
         For you have need of Me. You need to be closer to Me, to love Me more; therefore I do these things. For I am nigh to you when your heart is broken. I love a broken heart. I am a Friend of the brokenhearted. I break the hearts and I do mend them, and when I mend them they are stronger and better fit for the purpose for which they were created. In breaking them I can remake them. I can fill them with compassion, love, understanding and concern for the needs of others.
         I need you to be carriers of My love, but you must carry this love in your hearts, not in your minds. I must know that you are willing to let Me pour love through you, and that you're willing to let My love flow through you freely. Therefore in breaking your hearts, I remake them. I create them to be channels through which My love flows freely, unhindered, and bears much fruit, quenches thirst, fills the hungry, binds up the wounds, mends the broken hearts, and sets the captives free.
