         Sometimes I require individuals to forsake their personal desires that they might unite with the body as a whole. Although it is a sacrifice and a denial of self, they receive My blessing. For in unity there is strength. In unity there is My blessing, and in obedience you receive special power. This is why My Family is special to Me, because of the willingness of My children to deny themselves and to deny their personal desires to do what's best for the Family, for the whole unit, for My bride, for My church.
         This denying of self, this giving of one's life, is a daily requirement. Many have done it once or twice, but I love My children because they do it daily. I reward them with special faith for obeying, for believing, for receiving and for obeying My Word and for following My instruction.
