The Lord is saying: I Am here, and I Am with you and I will never forsake you. My love for you is absolute and love never leads astray those who possess it, for love is eternal and complete. Love is what sets you apart from the world in which you live, as love is foreign to the worldly. When you show love to the those still in darkness they are confused and think you are weak, when it is they who are weak and are led by their flesh instead of being led by Me. As you walk in the light of My love those around you see that you are peculiar and not like those they know, for they gather together just like you My children gather together as you have this common bond – the worldly to death and the heavenly to life. Life and love go hand in hand, and this is what sets you apart, My loves. Never think that you are not of any use to Me and My kingdom, as the foundation of My kingdom is based on love, and when you walk according to My will, then love shines bright. Pray, My loves. Pray for those blinded to the truth around you. Place them above your own and show them how love is selfless that they see that you belong to Me. Pray that their hearts are open to My love, for love covers all things.
2 Cor 4:1-18 (ESV) Therefore, having this ministry by the mercy of God, we do not lose heart. 2 But we have renounced disgraceful, underhanded ways. We refuse to practice cunning or to tamper with God's word, but by the open statement of the truth we would commend ourselves to everyone's conscience in the sight of God. 3 And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing. 4 In their case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, to keep them from seeing the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God. 5 For what we proclaim is not ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, with ourselves as your servants for Jesus' sake. 6 For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. 7 But we have this treasure in jars of clay, to show that the surpassing power belongs to God and not to us. 8 We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; 9 persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed; 10 always carrying in the body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be manifested in our bodies. 11 For we who live are always being given over to death for Jesus' sake, so that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our mortal flesh. 12 So death is at work in us, but life in you. 13 Since we have the same spirit of faith according to what has been written, “I believed, and so I spoke,” we also believe, and so we also speak, 14 knowing that he who raised the Lord Jesus will raise us also with Jesus and bring us with you into his presence. 15 For it is all for your sake, so that as grace extends to more and more people it may increase thanksgiving, to the glory of God. :16 So we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day. 17 For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, 18 as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal.
(Heb 13:5; 1 Pet 2:9; John 13:34-35)
