         Place your heart in My hands that I may massage it back to full life! Let Me shatter the hardness of your heart. Let Me remold and remake it, through the tender touch and warmth of My hands upon your heart.
         The choice is yours. I do not force My love and the warmth of My loving hands upon your heart, but I am there, ever ready, ever willing, ever able to soften that which is hardened. But you must desire it. You must ask for it.
         But know this, that if you desire it not, then shall the hardness continue to overcome the softness. Then will you have less of Me. And know that as the heart goes, so goes the spirit. He that has a soft, warm, moldable heart is he that is soft and moldable in spirit. And he whose heart has become hardened does also become hardened and rigid in spirit.
         As the spirit goes, so is your life affected accordingly. He who has a soft and loving and moldable spirit is loved, is desired, is wanted by those around him. But he that is hard in spirit is not wanted or desired by those around him. So the condition of your heart affects all aspects of your life.
         The amount that you allow Me to hold, to mold, and to warm your heart directly affects all that you do, all that you are, all that you will be. So give Me your heart, all your heart, My loved one, lest the hardness overwhelm you. Let Me breathe on it. Let Me kiss it. Let Me warm it. Let Me melt it. Do not hold back from Me. Do not hold back any part of your heart, for in doing so you give a wedge, a place, to the Evil One.
         As a cancer that grows from a small cell until it overwhelms the strength of the whole body, so is the area that is held back from Me--the unwillingness, the unyieldedness to let Me have full control. And this grows and it grows until it damages and it weakens and will eventually destroy if it is not stopped.
         So give Me your heart, My loved one, that I may hold it in My hands and heal it completely, softening all parts. But you must give it all to Me, so that I can work on all of it, that it may once again become moldable, warm and loving. (ML #3044)
