         I give many different gifts and callings, and when I measure out the tests and battles, I do so in perfect balance to the gifts, to the anointing, and to the training that I have given each one. Likewise, when it comes time to pour forth the blessings, I do so in accordance with the tests and the battles that each person has endured, fought and won, in proportion to their strength and their ability. For some it is easier to fight and overcome their weaknesses, their besetting sins, their doubts and fears; for others it is more difficult. But when it is more difficult, the taste of victory is that much sweeter, and the enjoyment of the fruits of victory is that much more pleasurable and delightful. So fight on! Fight on with faith, believing that I do fight with you, and that I measure each test and apportion each task and responsibility in perfect measure.
         I direct and guide your steps. I design the paths of My children so that when they cross each other, when different ones of you are placed together, each fills a special part in My workings in the lives of those around you. I use the weaknesses of one to strengthen and sharpen another; and then I likewise turn around and use the mistakes of the one to teach and instruct and train the other. For you are all men and women of like passions and weakness and faults. Though I have blessed you with much wisdom and much love and much understanding of Me and My love, much understanding of what is right and what is truth, yet all struggle, all fall. But this is not a mistake; rather this is the way I have ordained it, that it might open your eyes and broaden your horizons, that you might be enriched with these experiences and that you might go on and go forward to learn from them.
