No discordant note mars your intercourse with Me, for only with Me can life be perfect harmony.
There may be much to regret on your part, failure, disloyalty, fear, sin.
In My Holy Presence all that is swept away by My Hand of Love. Only Love, Peace-bringing, Harmony-producing Love remains. If you are to face the World and maintain your calm, you must take to the World, and your tasks in it My Peace and Harmony.
When supply seems to have failed you must know it has not done so. But you must, at the same time, look around to see what you can give away. Give away something.
There is always a stagnation, a blockage, when supply seems short. Your giving clears that away, and lets the Spirit of My Supply flow clear.
A consciousness of My Presence as Love makes all Life different. The consciousness of Me means the opening of your whole nature to Me and that brings relief. Relief brings Peace. Peace brings Joy. The “Peace that passeth all understanding” and the “Joy no man taketh from you.”
Beyond all words is My Love and Care for you. Be sure of it. Rejoice in it. Walk in My Love. These words mean much. There is a joy, a spring, a gladness in the walk of those who walk in My Love. That walk becomes a glad conquering and triumphant march. So walk.
Ye shall walk in all the ways which the Lord your God hath commanded you,
that ye may live, and that it may be well with you … Deuteronomy 5:33
The human heart craves a Leader, one whose will it delights to obey.
It craves a oneness of aim and achievement with a loved one. It craves to be understood.
It craves to reveal itself without reservations and to gain only strength thereby.
To gain, too, an ever more intimate revelation of the heart of the loved one. Where can the heart of man find satisfaction as with Me?
The eternal God is thy refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms. – Deuteronomy 33:27
Arms, sheltering Arms, express the loving tenderness of your Father (My Father) in Heaven. Man, in his trouble and difficulty, needs nothing so much as a refuge. A place to hide in. A place where none and nothing can touch him.
Say to yourself, “He is our Refuge.” Say it until the truth sinks into your very soul. Say it until you know it – are so sure of it, that nothing can make you afraid.
Feel this not only until fear goes, but until Joy ripples through in its place. Refuge. Everlasting Arms so untiring, so safe – so sure.
I am as a wonder unto many; but thou art my strong refuge. Psalm 71:7
Your loved ones are very safe in My Keeping. Learning and loving and working, theirs is a life of happiness and progress. They live to serve, and serve they truly do. They serve Me and those they love. Ceaselessly they serve.
But their ministrations, so many, so diverse, you see no more than those in my time on earth in human form could have seen the angels who ministered unto Me in the wilderness.
How often mortals rush to earthly friends who can serve them in so limited a way, when the friends who are freed from the limitations of humanity can serve them so much better, understand them better, protect better, plan better, and even plead better their cause with Me.
You do well to remember your friends in the Unseen. Companying with them the more you live in this Unseen World the gentler will be your passing when it comes. Earth’s troubles and difficulties will seem, even now, less overwhelming as you look, not at the things that are seen but at the real, the Eternal Life.
“And this is Life Eternal that we may know Thee, the Only True God, and Jesus Christ whom Thou has sent.”
Learning to know Me draws that Kingdom very near, and in Me, and through Knowledge of Me, the dear ones there become very near and dear.
And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ,
and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.
Acts 16:31
Are you ready for training and discipline? Like my winter-trees, seemingly useless and impotent to those who do not understand the enrooting in Me which keeps you steadfast amid storms and winter cold.
All through the dark months when your beauty (your power to help and shield) has been sacrificed, you are yet drawing in strength and sustenance.
The time to help will come again, and you will have learned to have no personal pride in the beauty of your foliage and the restfulness of your shade.
You will use them for those who need them, but will give the glory to Me, your Lord.
You must keep close to Me.
Faithfulness is not merely obeying the expressed commands of My Written Word. It is the intuitive knowing of My Wish by close and intimate contact, from which has grown true understanding of Me.
Even with this knowing, faithfulness can only be possible when you are fortified with the Strength that Communion with Me gives.
If you know My slightest wish and have absorbed from Me the Strength in which to carry it out, then Love leaps forward, responsive, rejoicing in the Lord.
Progress is the Law of Heaven. Higher, ever higher, rise to Life and Beauty, Knowledge and Power. Higher and higher.
Tomorrow be stronger, braver, more loving than you have been today.
The Law of Progress gives a meaning, a purpose to life.
And be not conformed to this world; but be ye transformed by the
renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and
acceptable, and perfect, will of God. Romans 12:2
Lord I would walk with Thee.
See, I set My pace to yours as a loving parent does to that of his child.
So there must be much silence in our companionship because you are not yet able to bear all the Wonder-Truth I long to impart.
But though words might find you unresponsive, you cannot fail to grow in My Presence, to grow in Grace, to grow in understanding.
So in that Rest I promised to those who come to Me, you do indeed gain the strength that comes from security in Love.
Our God is our supply.
Look to Me for all … Rely on Me for all. Drop those burdens, and then, singing and free, you can go on your way rejoicing. Encumbered with them you will fall.
Drop them at My Feet, knowing surely that I will lift them and deal with each one as is truly best.
When he had taken the five loaves and the two fishes, he … blessed,
and brake the loaves … and they that did eat of the loaves were
about five thousand men. Mark 6:41-44
