But God says: "NO". Not until you are satisfied, fulfilled, and content with being loved by Me alone&endash;with giving yourself totally and unreservedly to Me; with having an intensely personal and unique relationship with Me alone, discovering that only in Me is your satisfaction to be found &endash; will you be capable of the perfect human relationship that I have planned for you. You will never be united with another until you are united with Me. Exclusive of anyone or anything else, exclusive of any other desires or longings.

I want you to stop planning, stop wishing, and allow me to give you the most thrilling plan existing &endash; one that you cannot imagine. I want you to have the best. Please allow Me to bring it to you. You just keep watching Me, expecting the greatest things. Keep experiencing the satisfaction that I am. Keep listening and learning the things that I tell you. Just wait. That's all... Don't be anxious. Don't worry.

Don't look around at the things others have gotten or that I've given them. Don't look around at the things you think you want. Just keep looking up to Me, or you'll miss what I want to show you.

And then, when you're ready, I'll surprise you with a love far more wonderful than any you could have dreamed of. You see, until you are ready, and until the one I have chosen for you is ready&endash; (I am working even this moment to have both of you ready at the same time) &endash; until you are both satisfied exclusively with Me and the life I have prepared for you, you won't be able to experience the love that exemplifies your relationship with Me, and this is the "Perfect Love".

And, dear one, I want you to have the most wonderful love. I want you to see in the flesh a picture of your relationship with Me, and to enjoy materially and concretely the everlasting union of beauty, perfection, and love. What I offer you is Myself. Know that I love you utterly.

I am God. Believe it and be satisfied....

Don't Quit

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will, when the road you're trudging seems all uphill,when the funds are low and the debts are high, and you want to smile, but you have to sigh, when care is pressing you down a bit &endash; rest if you must, but don't you quit.

Life is queer with its twists and turns, as every one of us sometimes learns, and many a person turns about when they might have won had they stuck it out. Don't give up though the pace seems slow- you may succeed with another blow.

Often the struggler has given up when he might have captured the victor's cup; and he learned too late when the night came down how close he was to the golden crown.

Success is failure turned inside out. It's pressing on past fear and doubt. So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit. It's when things seem worst that you mustn't quit.
