Have you found what you can contribute to the whole? Can you feel yourself blending in, or do you feel you are standing on the outside looking in, wondering where your place is? Why not step right in, and by doing so find that special place more quickly? Once you feel you are part of that whole, you will want to give of your very best. I liken this process to a clock with all its many parts. Every part is needed for the clock to keep the right time. It is when each part is in its rightful place doing its specific job that precision timing is achieved. Every soul longs to be wanted, to be needed. When you feel needed, you begin to grow, flower and flourish and give of your very best. Always remember that I have need of you. Offer yourself anew to Me each day so that I can use you as I will, and grow in strength and stature.
我找到了我能為整體貢獻的是什麼了嗎？我能感覺到自己在融入，還是我感到自己正站在外面朝裡面觀望，想知道自己的位置在哪裡？一旦我感到我是整體的一部分，我就會想要給出自己最好的。上天將這過程比作一個時鐘和它所有的組件。為了這時鐘保持正確的時間，它的每一個組件都是被需要的。正是當每一個組件都在它正確的位置做著它特有的工作時，時間的精確度才能夠被達到。
每一個靈魂都渴望被期待，被需要。當我感到被需要時，我開始成長、盛開與繁榮，並給出我的最好的。總是記住，上天需要我。每一天都將全新的我自己交予上天，這樣上天就能夠如上天所願地使用我，並且（讓我）茁壯成長。
