Man sees not as God sees, and you do not see yourself as I see you. You see the weakness, the lack of talent, but I see a precious jewel that shines with My light. You have the gifts of loving, of listening, of understanding, of comforting—the humble gifts. So don’t be discouraged, but develop these gifts.
You are as a jewel that not only reflects light but warmth—warmth of spirit, warmth of understanding, warmth of comfort, warmth of love. But understand and remember that the true warmth of God, the true comfort of God and understanding of God and love of God, comes from abiding in Me, in My Word, and letting Me abide in you. (John 15:4-5) For it is not possible to pour forth the love, understanding, and comfort of God without being full of Me.
