God gives His best, His best side He gives. The best things, very best things, He gives.
I
Never disclosing or showing His suffering. God, He endures, waiting in silence. Not cold or numb, not a sign of weakness. God's essence and His love are always selfless. God gives His best, His best side He gives. The best things, very best things, He gives. For all mankind, He suffers; He suffers, bearing quietly. Quietly He gives, He gives His best.

Almighty God says, "I am never hurried in My work. No matter how man follows Me, I do My work in accordance with each step, as in My plan. Therefore, though you may rebel against Me so much, I do not stop My work and continue to speak the word I wish. I call to My house all those I foreordained to listen to My word, then place all who obey and long for My word before My throne. Those who betray My word, those who do not obey and submit to Me, and those who openly defy Me, shall all be cast off to the side to await their final punishment. All men live in corruption and under the hand of the evil one, so not many of those who follow Me actually long for the truth. That is to say, most do not worship Me with a true heart or with the truth, but try to gain My trust through corruption, rebellion, and deceitful measures. It is for this reason I say, “Many are called, but few are chosen.” All those called are deeply corrupted and live in the same age, but those who are chosen are only that part which believes in and acknowledges the truth and that which practices the truth. These men are merely a very minor part of the whole, and from among these men I shall receive more glory."
Almighty God says, "The greatness and power of the life of God cannot be fathomed by any creature. It is thus now, was thus then, and will be thus in time to come. The second secret I shall impart is this: The source of life comes from God, for all creation, whatever the difference in form or structure. Whatever kind of living being you are, you cannot move counter to the path of life that God has set. In any case, all I wish is for man to understand that without the care, keeping, and provision of God, man cannot receive all that he was meant to receive, no matter how great the effort or struggle. Without the supply of life from God, man loses the sense of value in living and loses the sense of purpose in life."
1. The Essentiality of God’s Incarnation
The flesh of man has been corrupted by Satan, and most deeply blinded, and profoundly harmed. The most fundamental reason why God works personally in the flesh is because the object of His salvation is man, who is of the flesh, and because Satan also uses the flesh of man to disturb the work of God. The battle with Satan is actually the work of conquering man, and at the same time, man is also the object of God’s salvation. In this way, the work of God incarnate is essential.
Satan corrupted the flesh of man, and man became the embodiment of Satan, and became the object to be defeated by God. In this way, the work of doing battle with Satan and saving mankind occurs on earth, and God must become human in order to do battle with Satan. This is work of the utmost practicality.
When God is working in the flesh, He is actually doing battle with Satan in the flesh. When He works in the flesh, He is doing His work in the spiritual realm, and makes the whole of His work in the spiritual realm real on earth. The one who is conquered is man, who is disobedient to Him, the one who is defeated is the embodiment of Satan, who is in enmity of Him, and the one who is ultimately saved is also man. In this way, it is even more necessary for Him to become a man who has the outer shell of a creature,
so that He is able to do real battle with Satan, conquering man, who is disobedient to Him and possessed of the same outer shell as Him, and saving man, who is of the same outer shell as Him and has been harmed by Satan.
His enemy is man, the object of His conquest is man, and the object of His salvation is man, who was created by Him. So He must become man, and in this way, His work becomes much easier. He is able to defeat Satan and conquer mankind, and, moreover, is able to save mankind. He is able to defeat Satan and conquer mankind, and, moreover, is able to save mankind.

2. God Descends With Judgment
Today, not only is God descending upon the nation of the great red dragon, He is also turning His face toward the entire universe,
so that the whole empyrean is quaking.
Today, not only is God descending upon the nation of the great red dragon, He is also turning His face toward the entire universe,
so that the whole empyrean is quaking. Is there a single place that does not undergo God’s judgment? Is there a single place that does not exist under the scourges that He hurls down? Everywhere God goes He has scattered “seeds of disaster” of all kinds. This is one of the ways in which God works, and is without doubt an act of salvation for man, and what God extends to him is still a kind of love.

All of the western branches should listen to My voice:
In the past, have you been faithful to Me? Have you obeyed My excellent words of counsel? Do you have hopes that are realistic and not vague and uncertain? Man’s loyalty, his love, his faith—there is none but what comes from Me, none but what is bestowed by Me. My people, when you listen to My words, do you understand My will? Do you see My heart? In the past, as you traveled the path of service, you met with ups and downs, advances and setbacks, and there were times when you were in danger of falling down and even of betraying Me; but did you know that at every moment I was ever in the act of saving you? That at every moment I was ever uttering My voice to call and save you? How many times have you fallen into Satan’s nets? How many times have you been entangled in the snares of men? And again, how often have you, failing to let go of yourselves, lapsed into endless contention with one another? How often have your bodies been in My house but your hearts were who knows where? Nevertheless, how many times have I reached out My saving hand to hold you up; how many times have I cast among you the grains of mercy; how many times have I been unable to bear seeing the pitiful state of your suffering? How many times … don’t you know?
