"To
know
oneself
is
to
be
humble.
Extremely
humble
and
quick
to
find
fault
with
yourself,
rather
than
others.
When
I
see
My
People
making
excuses
for
the
shortcomings
of
others,
I
delight
Myself
in
their
presence.
It
is
truly
a
rare
and
fragrant
offering
of
self
for
the
love
of
others.
"This
life
is
a
long
journey,
down
a
very
long
road
for
most.
And
so
few
are
taught
My
ways
as
children.
This
becomes
an
acquired
skill
in
time,
rather
than
one
trained
in
from
childhood.
So,
when
adulthood
is
reached,
it
is
but
the
beginning
of
learning.
Thats
why
in
your
country
you
have
so
many
immature
adults
and
so
much
divorce.
Like
yourself,
you
only
began
to
learn
about
maturity
in
your
30s.
Before
that
you
thought
and
acted
like
a
child."
I
know
thats
right,
Lord!
"Much
of
it
is
the
fault
of
the
culture.
Simply
put,
Americans
by
and
large
are
spoiled
from
childhood.
True
maturity
comes
at
quite
a
cost.
In
other
countries
you
find
this
kind
of
maturity
at
the
age
of
11
or
12.
They
have
already
learned
many
of
the
really
hard
lessons
of
life
and
have
been
seasoned
in
the
Faith,
knowing
My
character
more
deeply
because
they
have
to
rely
on
Me
to
survive
from
day
to
day.
Even
the
victims
of
violent
countries
are
more
mature.
You
would
see
this
if
you
traveled
the
world.
"But
you
know
that
I
will
complete
the
good
work
I
have
begun
in
you.
I
will
bring
to
maturity
all
those
who
call
upon
My
Name
and
choose
to
be
holy.
Not
one
will
perish
from
My
Hand,
all
who
come
to
Me
with
a
sincere
heart,
I
cherish
and
raise
up
into
maturity,
meekness,
and
uncommon
kindness.
"What
is
the
price
of
words?
So
much
good
or
so
much
evil
can
be
done
with
words.
With
words
you
can
bring
peace
and
mend
hearts.
With
words
you
can
slice
and
dice
a
soul
'till
nothing
is
left.
And
few
understand
that
you
will
be
held
accountable
for
every
idle
word.
With
your
tongue
you
lift
up
and
impart
life;
with
your
tongue
you
can
also
injure
and
destroy.
"My
Brides,
My
cherished
ones,
please,
always
choose
words
of
life.
Always
suppress
your
desire
to
answer
tit
for
tat.
Dont
you
know
that
today
your
brother
may
need
your
encouragement,
and
tomorrow
you
may
need
his?
What
good
does
it
do
to
accuse
and
demean
others
when
you
yourself
may
tomorrow
need
their
support
and
through
harsh
words
and
attitudes
they
are
no
long
there
for
you?
"Do
you
not
see
the
plan
of
Satan
in
such
things?
Do
you
not
see
that
you
are
the
victim
being
used
to
injure
others,
resulting
in
your
own
downfall?
Yes,
in
this
world
people
treat
each
other
as
expendable
items.
Not
so
in
Heaven.
In
Heaven
you
are
the
most
precious
commodity,
made
in
My
very
image,
eternal
and
stunningly
beautiful.
To
be
honored
and
loved.
"But
in
this
world
you
are
but
a
doormat
to
the
success
of
others.
You
are
used
and
tossed
aside,
after
you
have
been
thoroughly
despoiled
of
the
joyful
life
I
imparted
to
you.
What
I
am
saying
here?
Love
one
another
as
I
have
loved
you.
Cherish
and
support
one
another.
Never
speak
harsh
words
when
it
can
be
avoided.
Always
admonish
and
lift
one
another
up,
even
and
especially
in
conflict.
"Very
often
you
are
provoked
by
lies
to
judge
others
when
they
are
at
their
lowest
point
and
cant
handle
one
more
blow.
How
many
times
has
that
happened
to
you,
Clare?"
Yes,
Lord,
I
have
experienced
that
and
I
surely
have
seen
how
I
have
done
it
to
others.
I
pray
that
you
bring
me
to
the
fullness
of
the
Love
you
have
in
Your
Heart
Lordas
much
as
is
possible
in
a
weak
and
frail
mortal.
Forgive
Me,
Lord,
for
my
childish
attitudes.
"This
prayer
I
will
answer.
Go
now
and
love
one
another
as
I
have
loved
you."
