The glory that surrounds Me, the glory that I Am, will soon be made manifest in the world on an unprecedented scale. I have a heart for people, and a zeal unlike you've ever seen, and I will move heaven and earth—I have moved heaven and earth—to persuade people to submit their lives to Me. Many people, even most people, are willing to make the sensible choice when it is presented to them in an accurate way. My people are learning to depend on Me for how to present the Gospel, and the results speak for themselves. People all over the world are finding out that it is My goodness that leads man to repentance. Fear of an angry God is quite limited in its power to persuade and motivate, because there is an undercurrent of distaste in that presentation of Me. But as My people grow in their understanding of My character, and model their interactions with people after My model shown in the Gospels, they will see the love for which they have desired since their conception. That is the hunger that I have built in to all mankind, and when they see an accurate presentation of it, they will seek it, and Me, with all their heart. Then the harvest will be great indeed.
