The
Lord
is
calling
us
to
greater
compassion
and
meekness
today.
So
I'm
going
to
go
ahead
and
talk
a
little
bit
about
my
prayer
time
tonight.
We
spent
some
time
dancing
together
and
just
being
very
close
and
just
appreciating
one
another.
I've
been
running
around
like
a
one-armed
paperhanger
lately,
not
being
able
to
spend
the
kind
of
time
that
I
normally
spend
with
the
Lord
in
intimate
fellowship.
And
it's
been
very
painful.
Our
conversation
began
after
3
songs,
He
wanted
to
speak
with
me,
which
is
normally...3
songs
is...wow.
Normally
we
spend
45
minutes
to
an
hour
together
first.
But
it
is
late
and
I
am
off
my
schedule
and
He
really
wanted
to
get
this
message
across.
So,
I
complied
and
I
said,
"I
know
it's
late,
Lord,
but
I
miss
being
with
You!
Please,
can
You
help
me
back
to
that
sweet
space
where
I
am
really
able
to
worship
You?
And
rest
in
Your
presence?
I
really
miss
You..."
He
began,
"I
know
how
you
feel,
Clare.
But
you're
doing
a
necessary
work,
and
I'd
rather
you
do
that
than
enjoy
my
company
in
this
moment.
When
you're
finished,
if
you
ever
finish
before
I
come
for
you
-
then
you
can
rest
and
pray."
Are
You
serious,
Lord??
"I
would
rather
you
give
all
you
have
to
give
and
leave
nothing
out.
Who
knows
what
will
touch
the
souls
who
listen
to
this
CD?
I
guarantee
you,
all
of
those
songs
are
from
Me
and
My
words
will
not
return
to
you
void.
They
shall
accomplish
their
purpose.
Did
I
not
tell
you
that
you
would
be
giving
all
that
gave
you
and
that
your
purpose
would
be
completed
on
this
Earth?
That
there
would
be
no
song
unsung,
that
you
would
finish
the
work
I've
given
you
to
do?
Did
I
not
tell
you
this
months
ago?
But
I
am
keeping
a
close
eye
on
you,
and
drawing
you
to
My
heart
frequently.
"Clare,
this
will
be
over
soon
enough.
Work
while
you
have
the
Light.
Please
don't
try
to
second
guess
Me
about
having
sufficient
time
for
this
or
for
that,
whether
banking
will
go
on
or
not.
Whether
the
albums
will
be
delivered
or
not.
That
is
not
your
call
or
your
concern.
Your
only
concern
is
obedience,
and
you
are
directly
in
the
center
of
My
will.
"Yes,
Beloved,
carry
on
-
without
scruples,
please?
I
have
given
you
this
timeframe
for
a
very
good
reason,
but
your
curiosity
should
not
seek
for
answers
beyond
what
I
have
given
you.
That
is
a
flaw
in
faith
and
trust
in
Me.
All
you
need
to
know
is
to
have
things
together
this
month.
The
rest
is
in
My
hands,
to
dispose
of
according
to
My
will.
This
should
give
you
some
measure
of
peace,
My
Love.
"Dear
Brides,
this
applies
to
you
as
well.
Consider:
had
I
allowed
the
Rapture
in
June
of
last
year,
how
many
of
you
would
have
been
left
behind?
How
well
would
you
have
prepared
your
left
behind
materials
for
others?
Do
you
see
the
wisdom
in
these
delays
of
the
past?
Because
of
it,
much,
much
more
has
been
done
and
thousands
of
more
Muslims
have
come
to
me
and
been
saved.
How
beautiful
is
the
economy
of
God.
I
put
it
on
the
hearts
of
Australians
to
intercede,
to
bring
a
stay
of
execution
and
judgment
on
Earth.
And
because
they
obeyed,
look
at
the
fruit!
"Those
who
have
fallen
away
because
of
this
delay
I
cannot
account
for.
It
was
their
own
free
will
that
made
the
choice
to
not
believe
anymore,
to
stop
hoping,
to
stop
preparing.
And
now,
in
these
days,
I've
raised
up
many
of
My
hand-picked
servants,
who
have
done
even
more
to
ready
My
Bride.
"My
ways
are
inscrutable,
so
please
-
don't
try
to
figure
Me
out.
Just
finish
all
your
preparations
this
month
and
leave
the
rest
to
Me.
I
understand
the
tone
of
judgment
that
is
being
proclaimed
by
many.
But
may
I
remind
them,
that
had
I
acted
earlier,
before
THEIR
conversions,
they
too
would
have
been
with
those
left
to
suffer
the
consequences
of
this
sinful
world.
"What
am
I
saying
here?
Do
not
hold
bitterness,
rancor
or
judgment
against
those
who
have
transgressed
My
laws
and
continue
to
transgress
them.
This
is
not
My
heart.
Yes,
there
is
judgment.
Yes,
there
is
a
sentence
to
be
given
and
punishment
to
be
meted
out.
But
only
the
self- righteous
raise
themselves
up
to
the
Father's
stature
and
proclaim
their
disgust
with
these
souls.
"Do
you
see
Me
clearly?
What
am
I
doing?
Am
I
railing
on
the
sinners
-
or
am
I
weeping
for
them?
Do
you
understand?
Do
you
feel
it?
Judgment
is
Mine,
says
the
Lord.
But
more
than
that,
My
heart
of
Love
is
breaking.
And
to
point
the
finger
and
declare
judgment
is
NOT
My
way.
Unless,
of
course,
you're
talking
about
the
manipulative,
religious
Pharisees
of
your
day.
Still,
it
is
not
your
call
to
make.
"Blessed
are
the
meek.
It
is
the
meek
that
most
resemble
Me.
Not
the
fire-and-brimstone,
old
testament
prophets.
You
must
not
put
on
that
cloak.
Rather,
call
for
repentance,
that
I
may
turn
and
negate
what
has
been
prepared,
and
be
compassionate
with
the
sinful
so
they
may
coming
running
to
the
foot
of
the
Cross.
And
not
turn
around
and
point
the
finger
at
you
who
are
railing
at
them,
and
say,
'I
told
you
so!
Those
Christians
are
just
a
bunch
of
religious
hypocrites!'
"You
see,
it
is
My
love
that
leads
to
repentance,
and
judgment
only
leads
to
self-righteousness
of
the
one
who
is
judging.
And
self-righteousness
comes
from
Pride
and
the
declaration
that
you
are
above
others,
and
you
have
the
right
to
declare
their
guilt.
This
kind
of
behavior
opens
the
door
for
a
fall.
"So,
My
Bride.
I
am
asking
you:
do
not
enter
into
judgment
with
your
brothers.
Keep
your
head
low.
Weep
over
his
sins
as
you
weep
over
your
own.
You
ARE
weeping
over
yours...are
you
not?
This
is
the
great
balancing
weight.
You
see,
you've
been
given
much,
much
more
grace
than
many
of
these.
Much
more
opportunity.
Much
more
ministry.
So,
when
you
overspend,
for
instance
-
it
is
just
a
serious
as
those
who
steal.
Though
the
money
is
in
your
control,
it
should
be
looked
at
as
Mine,
since
you
are
My
stewards.
Therefore,
the
man
who
runs
out
of
the
7-11
with
a
six
pack
of
beer,
because
of
his
addiction
and
the
way
he
was
formed
by
his
non-existent
parents
is
less
guilty
than
you
who
spend
the
money
on
luxuries,
when
you
could
have
supported
and
orphan
with
it.
"Do
you
understand??
There
is
NONE
that
is
just,
not
even
one.
And
those
to
whom
much
has
been
given,
much
shall
be
required.
"Now,
you're
not
to
go
overboard
with
this
teaching
and
start
beating
your
breast
and
complaining
it
is
too
harsh,
or
you
are
doomed!
Please,
don't
do
that!
Just
cease
from
entering
in
to
judgment
with
others
who
are
proclaiming
the
coming
chastisement
as
if
they
were
innocent
and
the
rest
of
the
world
was
guilty.
Don't
DO
that!
"Humble
yourselves
and
see
that
your
little
faults
are
much
more
serious
than
their
big
faults,
because
they
did
not
know
My
Mercy.
Refrain
from
this.
"So,
what
should
you
do?
Fall
to
your
knees.
Beg
Mercy
and
repent
for
them.
With
this
I
will
be
well
pleased.
THIS
is
My
heart
for
YOU.
This
is
My
will
for
you.
This
I
will
bless
with
fruit,
the
fruits
of
conversion
in
the
little
time
left
to
us.
"I
bless
you
all
now
with
tenderness
of
heart
and
profound
meekness.
Go
and
do
likewise
to
your
brother."
