Instead of urging men to accept Me as this or that, first discover the need, and then represent Me as the supply.
A man may not feel his need of a Savior. He wants a Friend. Reveal Me as the Great Friend. Another may not need guidance, only to be understood. Represent Me as the Understanding Christ.
Leave Me to satisfy each and every need as I do yours.
Dwell with Me, and in doing so you admit those you love to the right of entry.
If their thoughts follow you as human friend and helper, they are drawn in thought, and later in love and longing, to Me with whom you live.
Appeal to Me often. Do not implore so much as claim My Help as your right.
It is yours in Friendship’s name. Claim it with a mighty, impelling insistence. It is yours.
Not so much Mine to give you, as yours; but yours because it is included in the Great Gift of Myself that I gave you.
An All-embracing Gift, a Wonder Gift. Claim, accept, use it. All is well.
Drink of the water that I shall give you, and you shall never thirst.
I will lead you beside the waters of comfort.
I will give unto you living water.
Blessed are they that hunger and thirst after righteousness.
As the hart panteth after the water brooks so longeth my soul after Thee, O God.
This is the thirst that can never go unsatisfied.
When life is difficult then relax completely; sleep or rest in conscious reliance on My Healing Power.
Endeavor that others may never see you anything but rested, strong, happy, joyful.
Before you meet, seek renewal in My Secret Place.
Your tears and cares must be shared with Me alone.
My blessing be upon you.
“Lord, show me Thyself,” is a cry that never goes unanswered.
Not often to physical vision comes the awareness but to spiritual insight, as more and more you realize My Love, My Power, and the manifold wonders of My character — its humility, its Majesty, its tenderness, its sternness, justice, mercy, healing, and consuming fire.
Draw nigh to Me and I will draw nigh to you.
“Changed . . . from Glory to Glory.” Changed from one character to another. Each change marking as it were a milestone on the Spiritual Highway.
The Beauty of the view you see in the distance is the realization of My character, My Glory, towards which with varying pace you are hourly progressing.
The way to secure better progress is to keep your gaze on your goal. Not on the road you traverse, assuredly not on the way by which you have come. Your goal is that Glory or Character that you see more and more clearly in Me, your Lord and Master.
“It doth not yet appear what you shall be, but know that when I shall appear (that is to you, to your sight, when you see Me), you shall be like Me, for you shall see Me as I am.”
Your power to help your brother does not depend upon him. It is in your own hands. It is conditional upon your casting out the beam out of your own eye.
Attack not your brother’s faults but your own.
As you eradicate those you discover where your brother needs help, and you acquire the power to give him that help to conquer and to eradicate his faults.
Casting all your care upon Him, for He hath care of you.
How precious these words. Care, attention, and the Love which prompts them, are all to indicated here, as also the most tender provision.
You are not told to put your worries away merely so that you may forget about them, but to cast them upon God. That is different: They will be dealt with.
Difficulties will be cleared away, mistakes rectified, weaknesses remedied, diseases healed, problems solved.
Realize My overflowing and overwhelming Bounty. The stores of the Lord are inexhaustible, but to test My generosity to the full you must be generous.
My lovers give with no stingy hands.
