November 16 – All Are Worthy

Treat all as those about whom I care.

You would visit the poor, the sick or those in prison, knowing full well I would see it as done unto Me.

I want you now to go still further along the way of my Kingdom.  You contact many who are not poor, not sick, not in prison.

They may be opposed to you.  They may disregard much that you consider of value, they may not seem to need your help.  Can you treat these, too, as you would wish to treat Me? They may be in need greater than the others you long to aid.

To you their aims may seem unworthy, their self-seeking may antagonize you.  When I said, “Judge not,” was I not including them too?

Can you limit My words to suit your own inclinations?

This is not an easy task I set you, but your way is the Way of Obedience.  I did not suggest to My followers one they could take or not as they willed.  My “Judge not” was imperative, and a new commandment I gave unto them that they should love.

For those who do not yet name Me Lord, Love is the only magnet that will draw them to Me.

Be true, be strong, be loving.

November 15 – Sharing With Me

Not by life’s difficulties and trials are you trained and taught as much as by the times of withdrawal to be alone with Me.

Difficulties and trials alone are not remedial, are not of spiritual value.

That value is only gained by contact with Me.  Joy shared with Me, or sorrow and difficulty shared with Me, both can prove of great spiritual value, but that is gained by the sharing with Me.  Share all with Me.

Remember in true friendship sharing is mutual, so as you share with Me, do I in ever-increasing measure share with you — My Love, My Grace, My Joy, My Secrets, My Power.  My Manifold Blessings.

November 14 – Joy Is Yours

The future is not your concern, that is Mine.  The past you have handed back to Me, and you have no right to dwell on that.

Only the present is My gift to you, and of that only each day as it comes.  But, if unto that day you crowd past sorrows and resentments and failures, as well as the possible anxieties of the years that may be left to you here — what brain and spirit could bear that strain.

For this I never promised My Spirit and Comfort and Help.

November 13 – A Lonely Road

To Me each one of My children is an individual with varying characteristics and varying needs.  To one and all the way to the highest must be a lonely road, as far as human help and understanding are concerned.

None other can feel the same needs and desires, or explain the inner self in the same way.  That is why man needs Divine Companionship.  The Companionship that alone can understand each heart and need.

November 12 – Heaven’s Music

To glorify Me is to reflect, in praise, My character in your lives.  To mount up with wings as eagles, higher and higher, to soar ever nearer to Me.

To praise Me is to sing, to let your hearts thrill.  To glorify Me is to express exactly the same, but through the medium of your whole beings, your whole lives.  When I say, “Rejoice, rejoice,” I am training you to express this in your whole natures.

That is the Music of Heaven, the glorifying Me through sanctified lives and devoted hearts of Love.

November 11 – A Noble House

Though I was a Son yet learnt I obedience.

This was to teach My followers that allegiance to Me meant no immunity from discipline.

The house of your spirit is fashioned brick by brick — Love, Obedience, Truth.  There is a plan, and each action of yours is a brick in its building.

Think.  A misguided act, a neglected duty, or a failure to carry out My wishes would mean not only a missing brick but a faulty edifice.

How many an otherwise noble character is spoilt thus.  Build now for eternity.

November 10 – Rest For The Weary

This weariness must compel you to sink back, a tired child, to rest in My Love.  There remain, until that Love so permeates your being that you are supported by it, and, so strengthened, arise.

Until you feel that this is so, remain inactive, conscious of My Presence.  Yours is a big work, and you must refresh yourself and only approach it again after periods of repose.

The activity on the Spirit-plane is so great, so wonderful, that but for the times of enforced rest and prayer, you would be stirred to an emotional activity on the physical plane that defeats My ends.

November 9 – The Glowing Heart

Think of the walk to Emmaus, think of the feast of Revelation that followed, of the understanding Friendship that was the result.  How much I, their Lord, their Risen Lord, had explained to My two disciples during that walk.  So much that was mystery to them became clear as we went along the way.

Yet not as their Master did I become known, until in the Breaking of Bread I revealed Myself.  In speaking of Me afterwards they said, “Did not our hearts burn within us when He talked with us by the way?”

So do not fret if all that I can be to you is not yet revealed.  Walk with Me, talk with Me, invite Me to be your guest, and leave to Me My moment of self-Revelation.  I want each day to be a walk with Me.

Do you not feel, even now, your hearts burn within you, as if with the glow of anticipation?

November 8 – Your Life-Line

Think of the strong life-line of Faith and Power.  This I have told you is your line of rescue.

It means constant communication between us.

You pray for Faith.  I give you Faith.  This enables you to test the Power I give, as your Faith goes back to me in ever-increasing strength.  My Power and your Faith ever interchanging.  The one calling forth the other, each dependent upon the other, until My Faith in you is justified indeed by the Power you exercise.

November 7 – Lost Opportunities

Think of one who has wrought great evil in the world or in your own life.  Then remember there may have been the time when a simple act of obedience to Me by one who crossed his path might have corrected and shown him his wrong before evil mastered him.

Many a sin unconquered, an evil occurrence, could well be traced back to a lack of obedience, perhaps in years long past, of one who professed to serve Me.

Remember this in speaking to those who judge Me by the evil they feel I permit in the world.  For yourself now, dwell not on the past, but dwell more with Me, that in future there be no sins of omission or commission.
