I will use you as you eliminate self and offer Me a consecrated personality, made in My Image.
There can be no limit to My Power to use one such. Nothing is impossible to Me. My Love is limitless, My Tenderness is limitless, My Understanding is limitless.
Every attribute of the Godhead is complete, inexhaustible in a way you can only dimly see.
Lord, Thy Word abideth and our footsteps guideth.
Treasure My words in your heart. They will meet your need today as surely as they met the needs of those to whom I spoke them when I was on earth for they were not spoken in time but in Eternity.
If My gift to man is Eternal Life, then the words inspired by that Life are eternal, appropriate to your needs today as they were then.
But the words and the guidance are not for all. They are for those who ACCEPT MY great gift of Eternal Life.
“And this is Life Eternal, that they might know Thee, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, Whom Thou hast sent.”
“Lord, show me Thyself” is a cry that never goes unanswered.
Not 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, its Justice, its Mercy, its Healing of sore wounds, and its consuming Fire.
Man turns to books, he studies theology, he seeks from other men the answer to life’s riddles, but he does not come to Me.
Is there a problem?
Do not worry over its solution.
Seek Me. Live with Me. Talk to Me. Company with Me, daily, hourly. Lo, suddenly you see.
Lord, bid me come to Thee upon the waters.
“Come.”
All that I did when on earth I do today in the Spirit-realm.
My servant Paul realized this Truth when he spoke of Me as the same yesterday, today, and forever.
When the faintest fear of all that lies before you disturbs you, when you are conscious of the loss of Spirit-buoyancy, then you are looking at the waves and feeling the wind is contrary.
Then you cry, “Lord, save me, I perish.”
And My Hand will be outstretched to save you, as it saved My fearful, doubting Peter.
Live much a life apart with Me. In the world but not of it. You can do this even in a crowd, provided self does not intrude.
It is a sign of progress that you cannot be indulging thoughts of self and then turn to Me in complete self-forgetfulness.
Your life must be one of intense service and consecration. Your fight is not so much an active one in the world, as one of active warfare on the unseen plane. A war truly against principalities and powers. Nevertheless a joyous war.
Live in My Love.
Return to Me ever for refilling, that your soul may breathe in and breathe out Love as your lungs breathe in and breathe out air.
There is nothing in you that creates Love, so how can you give it out unless you are receiving it?
All service, to be truly effective and of permanent value, must be wrought in Love. Where Love is, self cannot hold sway, and self nullifies the good in service.
See Me and My thought of you in all your daily life; so, conscious of My Love, you will absorb that Love until it permeates your whole being, and inspires and illumines all you do and say.
Life is a journey. The choice as to who shall be your conductor is your own. Once that choice is made and you feel you have placed yourself in wise Hands, do not spoil your journey by frustrating the plans made for your comfort and happiness.
Rest content with the plans I have made for you. No detail has been too small for My loving consideration. Know that your lives are being truly God-conducted, and so will bring you the greatest happiness and success.
The greater the trust you repose in Me, the wider will be My scope for the plans I have made for you.
Life is a mosaic planned by God. Each God-directed thought, impulse, and action of yours is necessary to the carrying out of the perfect design.
That design is of exquisite workmanship.
Life has so many lessons to teach you. You may not be able to travel through your material world. But for your spirit there are vast and beautiful realms in which you can be ever traveling and exploring; and, with ever-increasing capacity for enjoyment, discovering new beauties of Spiritual Truth.
Let them have dominion.
Man has lost this dominion because he failed to be guided by My Spirit. He was never meant to function alone. Body, mind, and spirit, he was created by My Father.
The senses were given him to link him to earth, and to create and maintain contact with the world around; but the spirit was definitely his link for guidance and instruction from the world of My Kingdom.
He is a lost soul until he links up in this way, just as a man blind, deaf, and dumb would be in a world of sense. This was man’s fall. He had this power and lost it.
The Sunlit Way
Know that your Source of joy is something changeless. The hopes of the world are but in material things and when these pass or change their joy fades, hope dies, only dark night remains.
Speak comfort to such. Tell of My Love surrounding you, that My protecting Power is yours. That I can never fail one who trusts in Me. That you can breathe in courage from My Presence as you breathe in air.
Tell the world — that for one who walks a cheerless road with Me, the bare hedge does blossom as the rose, and life is bathed in sunlit joy.
