God told me once, 'I want you to come up to the lowest place.'

Just love the one in front of you. Take in the orphan, take in the widow. Just love the one in front of you.

If you are called as a missionary—a “sent-out one”—then you are called to comfort those who mourn. You are called to love the broken until they understand God’s love—a love that never dies—through you.
The abundance of fruit comes out of intimacy with the Lord.
