         My dear one, I do not condemn you for your faults and weaknesses. I do not look at you and say that you are failing. I do not think about all your little mistakes or human failures and think less of you. It does not make Me love you less just because you have made mistakes or weren't always able to uphold the standard or weren't as loving as you wanted to be. It has made Me love you more to see that you want to come to Me and cry out to Me in desperation for My answers and My help.
         Your desire to want to do better and your willingness to want to make any changes that I would show you, your desperation to pray and seek My face for personal answers to your problems, your need for Me, your hunger for My Spirit, all of this makes Me love you more.
         I know how desperately you want to do the right thing, and that sometimes you're just not able. That which you want to do doesn't come out, and instead you do or say the thing you don't want to do or say. I really understand, and I do not hold it against you, My love. I know you want to react lovingly all the time. You want to say the right words and have My loving spirit in everything you do and say. I understand that you strive for this, especially with those who you find a little hard to love.
         But that's why you need Me, Honey. That's why you need My Spirit of love to be loving through you, because you don't have the love in yourself. You don't have the strength in yourself to not be sensitive or not be critical. You don't have the strength in yourself to be humble, loving or wise. No one has enough strength in themselves, for such strength is of My Spirit. The only ones who have such strength are those who draw it from Me.
