FJWL_02:304
         My precious one, you fight and labor and give and expend your energy and your life on the battlefield, and for this I do thank you. But come in now, come in, for I wish to love you and to hold you in My arms. I wish to comfort you and to lift the burdens which you bear.
         You must be willing to have Me place My arms about you; you must be willing to raise your hands in total and complete surrender to Me. Then you must allow Me to reach My hands inside your heart and remove that which I would, and replace it with that which I would. You must be willing to endure the working of My hands upon your life.
         But fear not, for I am gentle, I am tender, I am compassionate. That which I bruise, My hands make whole again. That which I break, My hands will mend again. That which I tear down, My hands will build up anew. So you have no need for fear, worry or apprehension, for I do all things in love.
         Will you yield yourself to Me, and will you come when I call? Will you love Me and give yourself to Me, that I may do this work in your life?--That I may make you a more useful vessel unto Myself; that I may make you into a conduit of My love, of My tenderness, of My giving, of My Own sacrificial spirit?
