Heart speaks to heart as you wait before Me. Love enkindles Love.
The air you breathe is Divine, life-giving, invigorating.
The place in which you rest is My Secret Place.
You do not come to ask Me of doctrine.
That is, as it were, the foundation of your Spiritual being; necessary but once secure, you seek to fashion, with Me, its beautiful superstructure — the home of Peace and Joy where I come and commune with you.
Have no fear. Wonders are unfolding ever more and more. You will be guided in all as you dwell in the Secret Place of the Most High.
Remember in that Secret Place was thought out all the wonders of the Universe. There all your wonder plans will be evolved. It is the home of Creation, and there you, too, share in Creative Power.
Grow daily, ever more and more, into My likeness.
Do My Will as revealed to you, and leave the result to Me. If you are but My representative, then why concern yourself as to whether the action I have arranged for you is wise or not?
If your control of the mind and body is not as progressive as that of your spirit, it is a hindrance. See to this. The three must work in unison; otherwise disharmony.
Beautiful though one instrument may be in an orchestra, with a beauty beyond that of any other, yet should it play its part ahead of those others, disharmony results; and so with you a sense of frustration and failure follows disharmony within.
Grace is the distinctive mark I set upon My friends.
It is no order of merit. It is the result of living with Me. It is even unobserved by those on whom I bestow it, but to those they meet who have eyes to see, it is apparent, just as during My time on earth it was said, “They took knowledge of them that they had been with Jesus.”
It may be the sign of My sustaining Power within a life. It may be the quiet strength of poise, the mark of self-conquest, some faint reflection of My character, or a mystic scent of the soul unfolding to My Love.
Go on in faith and trust. The Way opens as you go. In the Christian Life doors swing open as you come to them, if so be that you have advanced to them along the straight path of obedience.
As you started your journey, what would it have profited had you worried about the closed door ahead?
In the Spirit-Life miracle-working Power operates through natural human channels. As you have seen.
So this is the continuing lesson: Go steadily foreword in firm trust along the path of the quiet obedience.
That is your work. Mine to cause the doors to swing open, as you come to them, not before.
How often have I opened those doors for you in the past? More will open. So trust, so hope, so love.
Still go forward unafraid. The way will open as you go.
It is fear that blocks My way for you. Have no fear. Know that all is well.
No circumstances, no outward changes, can harm you in any way. Each should prove a step of progress, as long as your hearts are fixed “trusting in the Lord.”
I know no change.
Give me a constant remembrance of Thee.
Ask what you will and it shall be done unto you. But only if the heart desires what the lips express. “The Lord looketh on the heart.”
You will grow into the true attitude of remembrance of Me as you learn more and more to attribute all your blessings, all your guidance, to My increasing care; to the mind of your Master behind all, inspiring all, controlling all, the source of all your good.
Learn from Nature the profusion of her gifts.
As you daily realize more and more the generosity of the Divine Giver, learn increasingly to give.
Love grows by giving.
You cannot give bountifully without being filled with a sense of giving yourself with a gift, and you cannot so give without Love passing from you to the one who receives.
You are conscious, not of yourself as generous, but of the Divine Giver as bounteous beyond all human words to express.
So Love flows into you with an intensity that is both humbling and exalting as Love flows from you with your gift.
My poor deaf world. What it misses in loving Words and Whispers.
I want to share so much with it. It will not listen.
“Wherefor do you spend money for that which is not bread and your labour for that which satisfieth not. Harken diligently unto Me and eat that which is good and let your Soul delight itself . . .”
“He that willeth to do My Will — shall know.”
Whose Voice would you hear? So many voices are about you that you may miss the Still Small Voice.
“This is My Beloved — Hear Him.”
For whosoever shall do the Will of My Father, he is My brother and sister and mother.
You see how everything depends on the necessity of doing the Will of My Father.
Here is the intimacy of a new relationship. The only condition of this is the doing of My Father’s Will. Then at once, into the inner Family Circle there is admission.
The plain way of the discipline is the way of knowing My Will. That is the first requisite to the doing of it.
My Will for each day can only be revealed as each day comes, and until one revelation has been lived out, how can you expect to be made aware of the next?
Awareness of My Will is only achieved by obedience to that Will as it is made clear, and when THAT Will has been obeyed the veil, hiding My next desire, is lifted.
