         Concerning My son and his little lamb, she has the gifts and talents needed to make them a well-rounded team. She has what he needs to strengthen him in his weak areas and to soften him in his hard areas, to support him in his wobbly areas and to love him even in his unlovely areas.
         As this dear shepherd learns to give and sacrifice that which is dearest to him, his little lamb, their love shall grow and grow. The more he gives, the more their love will grow; and the more she gives, the more their love will grow. I promise that these sacrifices of love will not go unnoticed or unrewarded, but as they give to love others, the love that they pour out to others will be replaced in much greater abundance, and the love that each one feels toward the other will grow and grow without end.
         As they pour out a stream of My love to others who are thirsty and in need, I will pour into them from My waterfall of love, so much so that they will be overtaken with My love, drowned in My love, and find great ecstasy in My love! It will be manifested in greater love for Me, and for each other, and for others. For in giving they shall be set free from the fear which has them bound, the fear of losing that which they love.
         I will break the chains of fear and loose them from the shackles of selfishness! They shall find great freedom in the spirit, and their reward shall be great love. For it is in giving that you receive. But he that withholds and guards and protects and shelters and hides that which he loves, will only tend to poverty and to lack and to sadness.
