         My blessings come in different forms for different situations, and they are tailored for the individual and the individual Home. My blessings cannot be measured purely in financial or material terms. Sometimes in withholding My financial blessings, I am answering someone's prayer for more desperation, a closer walk with Me, or their desire to grow in another area of their life.
         Sometimes I pour out My financial blessings in reward for obedience and yieldedness, but then there are other difficulties of physical afflictions, or spiritual trials and battles, which My children may have to struggle through and fight for the victory.
         Although finances are usually a very big need in every Home, it has been so with My missionaries throughout time. This has always caused My children to be dependent upon Me, holding on to Me, and looking to Me for their supply. It's the faith life. It's learning to trust their Heavenly Father when there seems to be no visible means of support. Just as I feed the birds and clothe the flowers, so do I take care of My children. But it is a test of their faith.
