(Jesus speaking: ) The beds in the courts of love are very elaborate. They aren’t only for love, but for deeper times of intimacy, where you lay your all down on the altar and submit to Me again all that you have. As you lie there, giving all up to Me, I take it and replace it with a gift of a rare sort. 
Those who give all are given to in a special way, a unique way. But they have to be willing to give all to Me, for only those who do are then given unto.
Will you be one who surrenders all, no matter what the cost? Each time I call you to use you in a new way and you give up all that you have had up until that point to do as I bid, is a costly gift to Me, and it doesn’t go unrewarded. It may not be with the same types of things that I give back, it may be with something entirely different, but you are always repaid in full in splendid ways. 
It might not be right away that you get the pay back, but it always comes at the right time.
If you engage in these exchanges of gifts often enough, frequently enough, you start to see that there is nothing, no matter how costly it may seem to you to give up, that I won’t more than repay. This gives you faith to keep giving to Me whatever I do ask of you. …
There is nothing that you give up or surrender to not having, that won’t be given back to you in a special way. 
Is there something that I am asking of you now? What do you most wish to do for Me—something that it would be such a pleasure to do, but I tell you “not now” or something to that effect, and you must linger in the waiting hall for quite a while?
Are there unfulfilled parts of your heart that I’m expecting you to wait for fulfillment and not demand something right now? Are you yielding in patience? 
Come lie down on the altar of submission to the Saviour. Here the prayers of the saints will sustain you in this time of giving. Their prayers will rise like incense on the fires below. They will pray for your faith to do only as your Lord bids and to not withhold anything. 
Lie down and let yourself be given totally over to Me and My plans for you. But I will not leave you comfortless; I will come to you.
