FJWL_02:249
         Oh My children, how I do love your love for Me, and so do I pour forth My love upon you. For you bring Me great pleasure when you stop and take time to love Me, to kiss Me, to caress Me, to praise Me; when you call unto Me, when I hear the words of love that you speak unto Me, and when we love together. It is as the pleasure of when two become one. As it brings you great pleasure to be one with another, so it brings Me pleasure to be one with you.
         I need your love and your loving. For though I am King of all the universe, of all things, and even beyond, I cannot have your love unless you give it to Me, for I have made it this way. I am as a King Who has multitudes at My beck and call. To one I can say, "Do this," and it is done; and to another, "Do that," and it is done. For I am the Maker of all things, the Creator of all things, the God of all things. But I have limited Myself in that I do not make My children love Me; they have choice. I desire that they would love Me, and I long for them to love Me. Thus I find great pleasure in those that love Me, for it fills My need to be loved by My children.
         Oh what tenderness I feel, what acceptance, what joy, when you call unto Me and when you say to Me, "I love You! I want You! I desire You! Come in unto me!" For there are so few, so very, very few who feel this way about Me. Yet I would that all My children would feel this way. (ML #3030)
