By Zhao Ziwen, China

In May 2024, I received a report letter. It was about Sister Wang Yi, with whom I had previously cooperated. Verifications showed that during her time as a leader, Wang Yi had been arrogant and self-righteous. She had promoted and used several evil people and disbelievers for church work, and she wouldn’t listen when others advised her against it, causing serious harm to the church’s work. In the end, she was dismissed and placed in isolation to reflect on herself. Seeing what happened to Wang Yi, I was deeply unsettled. I felt that being a leader was truly dangerous; you never know when you might do evil and be revealed and eliminated. At the end of September, I received a letter from my leaders asking me to temporarily work in the church Wang Yi had been responsible for. I thought to myself, “My life entry is poor, and my disposition is also quite arrogant. If I don’t do the work well, will I also be revealed and eliminated?” I knew this duty was coming upon me with God’s permission, and it wouldn’t be in line with God’s intention for me to refuse. But if I accepted it, I was afraid I’d be revealed. I felt very conflicted, but in the end, I reluctantly agreed.

Afterward, I went to work in this church. After a while, I discovered that a technical supervisor bore no burden for their duty, was consistently lazy and irresponsible, and needed to be dismissed as soon as possible. At that time, I considered promoting Xincheng to train in doing duty as a supervisor. Based on evaluations from the brothers and sisters, I could see that Xincheng bore a burden in her duty and had skills in this area, so she could be put on probation for a while. But my partner, Sister Lin Hui, said that Xincheng’s family persecuted her for her belief in God, and she was worried that making her a supervisor would create risks. After looking into her situation, I learned that when Xincheng first started believing in God, her husband had persecuted her, but several years had passed and now her husband didn’t say anything. So I told Lin Hui that there was no one else suitable at the moment, and that Xincheng could do the work while we observed her, but Lin Hui still disagreed. I thought to myself, “I’ve just arrived here to do this duty, so I don’t know the church members as well as Lin Hui does. Plus, her attitude is quite firm. If I insisted on using Xincheng, what if her husband persecuted her and brought danger to the church? Wouldn’t I have to bear that responsibility? Wouldn’t the brothers and sisters then say I was arrogant and self-righteous for not listening to others’ opinions? That would be an evil deed on my part.” Thinking of this, I said nothing more. As a result, the progress of the work was delayed because the technical supervisor wasn’t dismissed in a timely manner. Additionally, in the work of cultivating people, I saw that the preacher Li Yan had some caliber and could accept the truth. However, her life entry was shallow and she didn’t understand various principles. Still, I felt she could do some real work once she understood them, so I planned to cultivate her. But afterward, some people commented that Li Yan was rather deceitful, saying she failed to report on work that needed reporting and even claimed she didn’t know how to. After meeting with her to understand the situation, I realized that she wasn’t failing to make reports, nor was she being deceitful; it’s just that her experience was shallow and she didn’t know how to do the work. At that time, I thought, “The brothers and sisters aren’t treating Li Yan correctly; they’re just judging by surface appearances. I should fellowship with them about the principles of treating people correctly.” But then I had another thought, “Since the brothers and sisters have all said this, if I still insist on my own view, won’t they say I’m just like Wang Yi—that I don’t listen to others’ suggestions and act arbitrarily in cultivating people? I’d better not stick my neck out. I’ll just observe for a while and see what happens.” After thinking this, I didn’t cultivate Li Yan. When my leaders wrote to ask about the situation with cultivating people, I thought, “If I recommend Li Yan, what if she is revealed later on? Won’t the leaders say my disposition is arrogant and that I don’t accept different opinions from the brothers and sisters? But if I don’t cultivate anyone, the leaders will say I’m not doing any real work. I’d better just tell the leaders that I can’t get a clear read on her. This way, even if Li Yan is revealed later, it won’t be my responsibility alone.” So, when I wrote back to the leaders, one moment I said Li Yan could be cultivated, and the next I said I couldn’t get a clear read on her, not expressing a clear attitude. After that, I still didn’t cultivate Li Yan. Because I was always overcautious when doing my duty, afraid I’d have to bear responsibility if personnel adjustments were inappropriate, I kept delaying and didn’t dare to make a final decision. As a result, some work progressed slowly due to a lack of personnel. I realized my state was incorrect, so I prayed to God, “Oh God, I’m very passive when doing my duty right now, and I’m always being overcautious. I’m in a lot of pain in my heart. I ask that You guide me to understand my own problems.”

Later, my leaders wrote to ask, “Why is progress in cultivating people so slow? We see that you’re very passive when doing your duty, and we don’t know the reason.” I told my leaders about my state, and they sent me a passage of God’s words: “Some people have believed in God for several years but do not understand the least bit of the truth. Their outlook on things remains the same as that of nonbelievers. When they see a false leader or antichrist being revealed and eliminated, they think, ‘As a believer and follower of God, living before God is like walking on thin ice! It’s like living on the razor’s edge!’ And others say, ‘Being a leader or worker and serving God is risky. It’s just like the saying goes, “Being close to a king is as dangerous as lying with a tiger.” If you do or say something wrong, you’ll offend God’s disposition, and you’ll be eliminated and punished!’ Are these remarks correct? ‘Walking on thin ice’ and ‘living on the razor’s edge’—what do these words mean? These words mean that a situation is very dangerous—that one will face great danger at every moment, and the least bit of carelessness will lead one to lose their footing. ‘Being close to a king is as dangerous as lying with a tiger’ is a common saying among nonbelievers. It means that it is dangerous to live in the presence of a devil king. If one applies this saying to serving God, where have they gone wrong? To compare a devil king to God, to the Creator—is this not blasphemy against God? That is a serious problem. God is a righteous and holy God; that man should be punished for resisting God and being hostile to Him is perfectly natural and justified. Satan and devils do not have a shred of the truth; they are filthy and wicked, they slaughter innocents, and devour good people. How can they be mentioned in the same breath as God? Why do people distort the facts and slander God? This is tremendous blasphemy against God! When some people who are often negative and do not perform their duties sincerely are pruned, they worry that they will be eliminated, and they often think to themselves, ‘Believing in God really is like walking on thin ice! As soon as you do something wrong, you get pruned; as soon as you’re characterized as a false leader or antichrist, you get dismissed and eliminated. In God’s house, it’s not uncommon for God to get angry, and when people have done a few bad things, they’re eliminated with a word. They’re not even given a chance to repent.’ Is that really how things are? Does God’s house really not give people a chance to repent? (That’s wrong.) Those evil people and antichrists are only eliminated because they have committed multifarious evils and been pruned, and yet, despite repeated admonitions, they do not change their ways. What is the problem with people thinking this way? They are making specious justifications for themselves. They do not pursue the truth, nor do they labor properly, and because they are afraid of being cleared out and eliminated, they complain bitterly and spread their notions. Clearly, they are of poor humanity, and they are often perfunctory, and negative and slack in their work. They fear being revealed and eliminated, so they put all the blame on the church and on God. What is the nature of this? It is passing judgment on God, complaining about Him, and resisting Him. These remarks are the most obvious fallacies and the most absurd claims. The fact that these people can say such things is proof that despite believing in God for years, they have never pursued the truth at all. Only this would cause them to sink to the level of passing judgment on God, of resisting Him, and of blaspheming Him” (The Word, Vol. 3. The Discourses of Christ of the Last Days. Freedom and Liberation Can Be Gained Only by Casting Off One’s Corrupt Dispositions). God’s stern exposure pierced my heart and was painful to bear. I thought back to when I saw Wang Yi get dismissed for being arrogant, insisting on her own views, choosing people in violation of the principles, and disrupting and disturbing the church’s work. It made me feel that it was doing the duty of a leader that had led to her committing these evil deeds. I thought that I must never be a leader in the future; if I did evil, I’d have no chance of being saved. When the upper-level leaders asked me to take charge of the church’s work, I agreed on the surface, but in my heart, I was on guard. I felt that being a leader was a dangerous job and was afraid of making a mistake and then being revealed and dismissed. I could clearly see that the technical supervisor was irresponsible in their duty and needed to be dismissed urgently. After weighing things up, I felt Xincheng was a suitable candidate and wanted to promote and cultivate her. But when I heard my partner disagree with using Xincheng, I didn’t try to discuss it further, because I was afraid she would say I was insisting on my own views. I was also afraid that Xincheng’s husband would persecute her again, and I would have to bear the responsibility if this brought trouble to the church. So, I didn’t replace the supervisor in a timely manner, which delayed the work’s progress. Also, I wanted to cultivate Li Yan, but when I heard that some brothers and sisters had a poor evaluation of her, even though I knew I should fellowship with them on the principles of treating people fairly, I was afraid they would say I was arrogant and didn’t listen to others, so I didn’t dare to insist. Because I was so timid and hesitant when doing my duty and didn’t dare to take a stand, personnel were not cultivated in time, which hindered the church’s work. From God’s words, I saw that all these thoughts of mine were me being on guard against God. Worldly kings are not fair or righteous; as soon as they find someone has done something wrong or slightly displeased them, they torment them. I had regarded God as being just like a worldly king, who would hold people accountable and dismiss and eliminate them as soon as they made a mistake. This was a grave blasphemy against God! Thinking about it, Wang Yi’s failure was mainly due to her disposition being arrogant. She acted arbitrarily in her duty, wouldn’t listen even when the brothers and sisters advised her, and was especially insistent on her own views. This brought harm to the work, which was why she was dismissed. It wasn’t that she was eliminated for making a single mistake. I didn’t look at the context or the course of events, but just judged by surface appearances, making it out that she was revealed because she was doing a leader’s duty. I was truly inverting black and white and couldn’t tell right from wrong! I quickly prayed, “Oh God, because I don’t know Your righteous disposition, I’m always suspicious and on guard when doing my duty. My thoughts and manifestations blaspheme against You, and they’ve also hindered the church’s work. Dear God, I ask that You guide me to know my own corrupt disposition.”

Afterward, I pondered. What corrupt disposition was causing me to be on guard against God in this way? One day, I read a passage of God’s words: “People must approach their duties and God with honest hearts. Those who fear God should be able to do this. What kind of attitude do people with honest hearts have toward God? At the very least, they have God-fearing hearts. They have hearts of submission to God in all things; that is, they do not ask about blessings or calamities, they do not put forward conditions, and they leave themselves at the mercy of God’s orchestration. These are people with honest hearts. Those who are always doubting God, always scrutinizing Him, always trying to strike a deal with Him—are they people with honest hearts? (No.) What resides within the hearts of such people? Deceitfulness and wickedness; they are always scrutinizing. And what is it they scrutinize? (God’s attitude toward people.) They are always scrutinizing God’s attitude toward people. What problem is this? And why do they scrutinize this? Because it involves their vital interests. In their hearts, they think to themselves, ‘God set up this circumstance for me, He caused this to happen to me. Why did He do that? This hasn’t happened to other people—why did it have to happen to me? And what will the consequences be?’ These are the things they scrutinize; they scrutinize their gains and losses, blessings and calamities. And while scrutinizing these things, are they able to practice the truth? Are they able to submit to God? They are not. What is the nature of the things they think about in their hearts? They’re all centered on their own interests, and on securing benefits for themselves. … What happens when people only consider their own prospects, fates, and interests? It will not be easy for them to submit to God; even if they want to, they won’t be able to. Anyone who places particular importance on their own prospects, fate, and interests always scrutinizes whether God’s work is beneficial to their prospects, to their fate, and to them obtaining blessings. In the end, what is the consequence of all their scrutiny? It can only be that, since God’s work doesn’t accord with their notions, they often complain about God, rebel against God, and oppose God. Even if they can still persist in performing their duty, they do so perfunctorily and with negativity; in their hearts, they keep thinking about how to take advantage and not suffer any loss. Performing one’s duty with such intentions amounts to trying to make deals with God. What disposition does this indicate? It is deceitfulness, it is a wicked disposition. This is not an ordinary corrupt disposition—it has escalated to wickedness. Harboring this kind of wicked disposition in one’s heart is fighting against God! You should see through this problem. If someone is always scrutinizing God and performing their duty with a transactional mindset, will they be able to fulfill their duty? Absolutely not. They do not worship God with their heart and with honesty, and they don’t treat their duty honestly. As they perform their duty, they just watch and observe, always holding back. What is the consequence of this? God does not work in them—they are muddleheaded and confused, they don’t understand what the truth principles are, and they always act according to their own will, constantly making mistakes” (The Word, Vol. 3. The Discourses of Christ of the Last Days. Only by Seeking the Truth Principles Can One Perform One’s Duty Well). The exposure of God’s words showed me how incredibly selfish and despicable I was. I thought about how, starting from when I handled the report letter against Wang Yi, I had held notions about God in my heart, and felt that Wang Yi was revealed all because of her duty as a leader. With this fallacious viewpoint, I became timid and hesitant when doing my duty. I could clearly see that unsuitable personnel needed to be dismissed in a timely manner, and I had also found people who could be cultivated. But when I heard different opinions, I worried that if I made the wrong decision, I would have to bear the responsibility. So I delayed taking a stand, preferring to let the church’s work be hindered rather than reassign personnel promptly, and I held up the progress of the work. All I considered was my own outcome and destination, without any thought for the church’s work at all. God exalted me by giving me such an important duty so that I could lead the brothers and sisters to experience His words and practice the truth, and find suitable people to do various duties. But I only considered my own interests, was full of suspicion toward God, and was so overcautious that I didn’t dare to express my views. I wasn’t fulfilling my responsibilities at all. People with honest hearts treat their duty with a genuine heart. What they think about is how to protect the interests of God’s house, and they can gain God’s leadership in their duty. But looking at myself, I was always worried that using the wrong person would lead to me being revealed and eliminated. All I thought about was how to protect my own interests. Bringing such a mindset into my duty made it impossible for me to receive God’s leadership and blessings.

I then pondered why I was always overcautious when doing my duty, afraid that expressing a different opinion would lead people to say I was arrogant and self-righteous. What, then, is the difference between being arrogant and self-righteous and upholding principles? In my seeking, I read God’s words: “There are some people who often violate principles when they act and do not accept pruning. They clearly know in their hearts that the things others say are in line with the truth, but they do not accept them. Such people are so arrogant and self-righteous! Why do I say they are arrogant? In their refusal to accept pruning, they are defiant, and is defiance not arrogance? They think they are doing well, and they do not think they commit any wrongdoing, which means that they do not know themselves and are arrogant” (The Word, Vol. 3. The Discourses of Christ of the Last Days. Man’s Arrogant Nature Is the Root of His Resistance to God). “So, if a time comes during the course of your duty where everyone’s opinions are divided, how should you practice? Is incessantly arguing about it going to solve the problem? (No.) Then how should you resolve the problem? In this situation, a person who understands the truth should come forward to resolve the issue, first laying the issue out clearly and letting both sides say their piece. Then, everybody is to seek the truth together, and after they pray to God, fellowship on the relevant truths of God’s words. … Having an unyielding, resolute attitude when protecting the interests of God’s house is a manifestation of having a firm stance and sticking to the principles, and God approves of it. Even if others feel there is a problem with such a person’s way of speaking or their attitude, in reality, this is not a problem; it is a manifestation of possessing the truth reality. Some people who lack spiritual understanding and have ulterior motives will try to seize on this for leverage, but this doesn’t involve the revelation of a corrupt disposition at all. Remember, adhering to the truth principles is what is most important. If someone doesn’t adhere to the truth principles, then no matter how pleasant the words they say are, they are a hypocrite” (The Word, Vol. 3. The Discourses of Christ of the Last Days. Practicing the Truth Is the Only Way to Gain Life Entry). God’s words helped me understand the difference between being arrogant and self-righteous and upholding principles: Arrogance and self-righteousness means that when your actions clearly violate the principles, yet you still insist on your own views and refuse to accept it when others point out your problems or prune you, instead simply believing that you are right. But insisting on doing something after seeking and confirming that it aligns with the principles—this is upholding principles, and it is in line with God’s intention. I saw that Xincheng bore a burden for her duty and understood the technical side, making her suited to being a technical supervisor. My partner was worried about the environment at Xincheng’s home and didn’t want to promote her. I should have sought the truth with my partner to ensure we promoted and used people according to the principles, so the church’s work wouldn’t be affected. I saw that Li Yan could be cultivated and trained, but because the brothers and sisters didn’t understand the principles, they judged her based on outward appearances and their evaluation of her was not objective. I should have guided them to view people according to God’s words, but I was afraid they would say I was arrogant and insistent on my own views, so I gave up on cultivating her. I saw how absurd my comprehension truly was; I couldn’t even distinguish between being arrogant and self-righteous and upholding principles. I had treated handling issues according to principles as arrogance, and as a result, I didn’t dare to express my views or uphold principles, which hindered the church’s work. At the same time, I also found a path of practice in God’s words: When faced with differing views or opinions when doing my duty, I should bring the issue out into the open so everyone can seek the truth together to resolve it. Realizing this, I felt an immediate sense of release.

Later, I thought of God’s words, and my path for promoting and cultivating people became clearer. God says: “For certain talented individuals, in situations where no one can fully see through or understand them, they can be preliminarily promoted and used according to the needs of church work—don’t delay the work, and don’t delay the cultivation of people; this is key. Some people ask, ‘What if they mess up the work after being used? Who’s responsible?’ When you use someone, is it as if you place them on a deserted island with no way for anyone to contact them? Aren’t there actually many others around them engaged in specific tasks? There are ways to resolve all these matters; namely, supervising, observing, and understanding them, and, if conditions allow, through close contact. What exactly does close contact entail? It entails working together with them; the process of working is the process of understanding them. Won’t you gradually come to understand them through this sort of contact? If you have the opportunity to make contact but don’t, and merely make a phone call to ask a few questions and then leave it at that, it’s impossible to understand them. You must make contact with those you can in order to solve problems. Therefore, leaders and workers must not be lazy in their work. So, if you want to observe and understand someone, how should you do so? (By making contact with them.) Right? The key is to put your hearts into it!” (The Word, Vol. 5. The Responsibilities of Leaders and Workers. The Responsibilities of Leaders and Workers (7)). God’s words helped me understand that no one can guarantee absolute accuracy when choosing someone. As long as your choice aligns with the principles in the present moment, meets the requirements for cultivation and use according to the work’s needs, and benefits the work, that’s enough. Then, after subsequent observation, suitable people can continue in their role, while unsuitable ones can be reassigned or dismissed. Practicing this way is beneficial to the church’s work. If someone who is promoted and cultivated is later revealed to be unsuitable, God’s house won’t hold you responsible; after all, no one can see through to a person’s essence at a single glance. Later, I talked to my partner in light of God’s words, and she agreed to reassign Xincheng to the duty of technical supervisor. After Xincheng took on the duty, she did not bring any security risks to the church. I also fellowshipped with Li Yan and helped her regarding her shortcomings. After a period, Li Yan made some progress and began to focus on how to achieve results in her duty. She was subsequently elected as a district leader. When I saw that the personnel had all been properly reassigned and were all doing their duties normally, I felt even more hatred for how selfish and despicable I had been in the past. I had only considered my own interests and had brought such great hindrance to the church’s work. After this, I dedicated myself to my duty. When I encountered issues I couldn’t see clearly, I would seek the principles with the brothers and sisters. After some time, we made progress in the various items of work. I thanked God from the bottom of my heart and experienced how relaxing and joyful it is to do my duty according to the principles.

Two months later, the upper-level leaders asked me to write a resume and began to collect evaluations about me. I thought, “Are they going to reassign my duty again?” Thinking of how I had been full of speculation and doubt about duty reassignments before, I prayed to God in my heart, expressing that this time, I was willing to submit no matter what duty I was reassigned to. A few days later, the leaders wrote to say that I had been elected as a member of the decision-making group. When I saw it was the decision-making group, I was still a bit surprised and nervous. “Doing my duty in the decision-making group entails even greater responsibility. Many issues require decisions, and if a bad decision is made that damages the church’s work, I’ll be eliminated and lose my chance of being saved.” I felt somewhat conflicted. Then the leaders sent me a passage of God’s words: “There are principles for the kind of people God’s house promotes and uses, and the kind of people it does not use, as well as for which people it cultivates, and which people it does not; it is all based on the needs of the work of God’s house. No matter who is promoted and used, the aim is to cultivate them so that they can do their duty well and know how to experience God’s work, and so that they are able to shoulder work and act according to the truth principles. No matter what problem is being solved, the aim is to enable them to understand more of the truth, and to learn how to draw lessons and gain discernment from the various people, events, and things they encounter. This way, it is easier for them to enter into the truth reality in all aspects. It is not about exploiting you to render service, much less about exploiting you to fill an open position because no suitable person can be found, only to kick you out when someone suitable comes along. That is not how it is. In fact, this is giving you an opportunity to train yourself. If you pursue the truth, you will stand firm; if you do not pursue the truth, you will still not be able to stand firm. It is absolutely not the case that because God’s house finds you displeasing, it will find leverage over you and look for an opportunity to eliminate you. When God’s house says it will cultivate you and promote you, it will genuinely cultivate you. What matters is how you strive for the truth. If you do not accept the truth in the slightest, then God’s house will give up on you and will no longer cultivate you. Some people, after a period of cultivation, are dismissed because their caliber is poor and they cannot do actual work. Some, during their period of cultivation, do not accept the truth in the slightest, act willfully, and disrupt and disturb the work of God’s house, and are dismissed. Still others do not pursue the truth at all, walk the path of antichrists, always work for fame, gain, and status, and are dismissed and eliminated. These situations are all handled according to the principles of God’s house for using people. God’s house will still cultivate those who can accept the truth and strive for the truth, even if they commit transgressions by making some mistakes. If it’s not someone who can accept the truth, and they do not accept the truth when pruning comes upon them, then they should be directly dismissed and eliminated. … No matter the situation, when God’s house promotes these people, it is always to cultivate them and lead them into the truth reality, hoping they can do the church’s work well and fulfill the duties they ought to fulfill. Even if you don’t know how to do some work because you are foolish and lack insight or because your caliber is poor, as long as you strive for the truth principles, have this sense of responsibility, are willing to do this work well, and can safeguard the church’s work, God’s house will still cultivate you even if you have done some foolish things in the past. Some people, although their caliber is a bit poor, can still do some simple work. Although their fellowship on the truth to resolve problems cannot yield good results, they can safeguard the church’s work. Whatever aspect of the truth is fellowshipped on at each gathering, they are able to accept it and be obedient and submissive. If any work is not done well, they can learn lessons from it. Although their caliber is a bit poor, their hearts can strive for the truth. After working for a period, they make progress, and their results get better and better. In My eyes, such people have hope of gaining salvation. Most people believe that those with good caliber are likely to gain salvation. In My view, it is not necessarily so. The key is that people have to pursue the truth so that they can gain the work of the Holy Spirit, cast off their corrupt dispositions and gain salvation. Some people have average caliber and the results of their duty are also average, but after years of watering and provision from God’s house, they begin to put their hearts into the truth, and they do indeed come to understand some truths. They also gain some practical experiences, can see through some things, and can solve some problems, making more and more progress in church work. This is quite good; such people are worth cultivating” (The Word, Vol. 7. On the Pursuit of the Truth. How to Pursue the Truth (26)). I was deeply moved by God’s words and felt even more how despicable and wicked I was, with my own petty mindset constantly being suspicious of God. At the same time, from God’s words, I also understood that God’s house has principles for promoting and eliminating people. When anyone is promoted and used, this is done with the genuine intention of cultivating them. God saves and perfects those who pursue the truth; He reveals and eliminates those who do not. Although those who pursue the truth may have deviations and shortcomings in their duty, as long as they accept the truth, they will make more and more progress and will not be eliminated. Those who are eliminated are only ultimately dismissed because they do not pursue the truth, do not do their duty properly no matter how much they are helped and supported, and delay the church’s work. I thought back to how I had also used some people incorrectly when I was a leader or worker, but God’s house did not condemn me or stop cultivating me for it. Instead, they looked into the context of why the wrong people were used at that time, and seeing that I had reflected on and understood myself somewhat, they gave me another chance to train myself. Realizing this, my heart felt at ease. I prayed to God, willing to submit to the church’s arrangements, and then I accepted the duty.

Once, when electing a team supervisor, we were looking at evaluations of a sister. Most people wrote that this person could endure hardship, would submit to any duty assigned, and often talked about knowing herself, so they agreed to elect her as the supervisor. I had been in contact with this sister before. Based on my understanding of her, she consistently failed to follow principles in her duty, could speak some words and doctrines but had no truth reality and couldn’t solve actual problems, and achieved no results in her duty. She was not suitable to be a supervisor. I wanted to express my own view, but then I thought, “Since my partners have all agreed to her being the supervisor, if I’m the only one who doesn’t approve, will they say I’m too arrogant?” I hesitated a bit. At that moment, I remembered the difference between upholding the truth and being arrogant and self-righteous. Acting according to principles is not arrogance. What’s more, they didn’t know this person well. I should state my own view and weigh the matter with everyone according to the principles. So, I stated my view. After they heard it, they felt this person was not suitable for promotion at the moment, and that her future manifestations needed to be observed. Practicing this way, my heart felt very much at ease. Thank God!
