The criteria that people must meet to be made use of by God are as follows:

Their hearts must be turned toward God,

they must carry the burden of His words, they must have hearts of yearning,

and they must be resolved to seek the truth.

Only these people can obtain the work of the Holy Spirit

and frequently gain His enlightenment and illumination.

The people that God makes use of appear outwardly to lack reason

and normal relationships with others,

but they speak carefully, with propriety,

and they are always able to keep a quiet heart before God.

They don’t care about outward love or outward practices,

but when they fellowship on spiritual matters,

they’re able to open their hearts

and selflessly provide others with the illumination and enlightenment

they’ve acquired from their actual experiences before God.

That is how they express their love for God

and satisfy His intentions, satisfy His intentions.

When others slander and ridicule them,

they avoid being influenced by outside people, events, or things,

and remain quiet before God, remain quiet before God.

It seems as though they have their own unique insights.

Regardless of what other people do, their hearts never leave God.

When other people are talking and laughing, their hearts remain before God,

they contemplate His word, or silently pray to the God in their hearts,

seeking His desires, seeking His desires.

These people do not attach importance

to maintaining normal interpersonal relationships,

and they seem to have no philosophy for worldly dealings,

they seem to have no philosophy for worldly dealings.

They appear lively, lovable, and innocent,

but they also possess a certain calmness.

This is the likeness of the kind of person that God makes use of,

that God makes use of.
