Absolute Love must decide all your actions.
Fear nothing. Ride the storm.
Delight to do My Will.
Not only money affairs; lay all your letters, your work, all, upon My altar.
Make an offering of each day to Me for the answering of your prayers and for the salvation of My poor world.
Subdue every self-thought, utterly, entirely.
Consciousness of My Presence imparts permanence and strength to all you do.
My Spirit, permeating every part of your being, drives out all the selfish irritability, while fortifying all the weak parts and attuning your being to Heaven’s Music.
To think of Heaven as a place where you sing praises to Me is right, but the singing is with your whole being, as My pulsing Joy flows through it.
My Lord, forgive me I pray.
Could I withhold forgiveness? I, who live ever to plead for My children, who told them that always when they pray they must forgive in their hearts?
I am God but I became man.
Perfect God and perfect man.
So human and yet so Divine.
Because I am Eternal — that I must ever be.
So see in Me all I enjoined My followers they must ever be and do. Could I withhold forgiveness?
My Light shall shine upon you. It shall illumine and cheer your way.
But it shall also penetrate the dark and secret places of your hearts revealing perhaps some unrecognized sin, fault, or failing.
Desire its radiance not only for its comfort and guidance, but also for its revelation of all within you that is not wholly Mine.
I am the Sun of Righteousness. Rest in My Presence, not clamoring, not supplicating, but resting until the impurities of your being are burnt out, the dross of your character refined away, and you can go on strengthened and purified to do My work.
Learn to wait for spiritual Guidance until its suggestion is as clear to your consciousness as any command of officer to soldier, of the master to servant. This recognition distinguishes My true follower from the many who call Me “Lord, Lord,” and do not the things that I say.
There are many who live according to the Principles I laid down when on earth, but who do not act under the impulse of My Spirit day by day.
“For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the Sons of God.”
Help Me to save your fellow-man as dear to Me as you are.
Do you not care that he should pass Me by? Do you not care that he should pass Me by?
Do you not care that he is lonely, hungry, desperate, and far from the fold?
My followers were to save My world — by keeping My Commands, by close union with Me, and by the indwelling Power of My Spirit.
But they were to be a peculiar people. My religion which was to change men’s lives, and was to be so revolutionary as to separate families and reorganize governments, has become a convention, tolerated where not appreciated.
Its Truths have been modified to suit men’s desires. Its followers carry no flaming sword, they bear no Message of a Love so tender as to heal every wound, so scorching as to burn out every evil. My Cross is outdated, My Loving Father but the First Cause.
Man delights in his self-sufficiency, and seeks to persuade himself that all is well. Can he deceive a loving, understanding Father, who knows that under all the boasting there lurks fear, longings, despair?
Can I leave man so? Can I offer him Calvary, and if he will have none of it, leave him to his fate? I know too well his need of Me. “You can help Me.”
In My Kingdom judgment is not man’s role. There is one Judge, and even He reserves His judgment until the last chapter of man’s life is written, until all the evidence is secured, so anxious is He to discover some extenuating circumstances, or to wait until by man’s turning to Him and throwing himself upon His mercy, the position is altered, and the judge becomes the prisoner in the dock.
Then God the Father, knowing His Beloved Son accepts responsibility for the deed (has in fact already received the punishment Himself), is bound to pardon the human sinner.
You then in judging (poor, weak, foolish, contemptuous arrogance), are judging not the sinner but Me.
Never forget to adore. That is the most beautiful form of prayer. It includes all others.
If you adore, it implies that trust in Me and love for Me without which all supplication fails to achieve its object. It implies thanksgiving, because adoration is born of repeated thanksgiving.
It also implies contrition.
Who could adore Me with a Joy-filled adoration, and not be conscious of unworthiness and of My forgiveness and blessing? Adoration is Love-filled reverence.
My child, there is no arrogance in your assertion when you say, “I will not let Thee go unless Thou bless me.”
Have not I ever told you to claim big things. In so doing you obey Me.
You do right to wrestle boldly in prayer. There are times for demanding, for claiming.
Now is the time to claim. You are in no doubt about My Will. Claim its manifestations on earth.
