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.
Draw from Me not only the Strength you need for yourself, but all you need for the wounded ones to whom I shall lead you. Remember no man liveth to himself. You must have Strength for others.
They will come to you in ever-increasing numbers. Will you send them empty away? Draw from Me and you will not fail them.
Down into Egypt, back into Galilee. These journeys were gladly undertaken. They meant no family upheaval, for was not the desire of that Family but to fulfill Divine Intent?
Upheavals come only when man is set on some particular way of life, and is called to forgo that.
When the fixed desire is to do the Father’s Will, then there is no real change. The leaving of home, town, country is but as the putting off a garment that has served its useful purpose.
Change is only Spiritual progress when the life is lived with Me, the Changeless One.
Do not let doubt or fear assail or depress you because of this time of anguish and failure-sense through which you have passed. No, this had to be.
Useful work lies ahead of you. Before the onset of so great a task My servant has usually to walk through the Valley of Humiliation, or in the wilderness.
If I, your Lord, before I began My Mission, had to have My forty days of temptation, how could you expect to go all unprepared to your great task?
You must taste anew the shame of unworthiness, of failure, and of nothingness before you go forth with Me conquering and to conquer.
I am planning for you. Wonderful are My Ways beyond your knowledge.
Oh! realize My Bounty and My Goodness more and more. The wonder of being led by Me! The beauty of a guided life!
These will enter your consciousness more and more, and bring you ever more and more Joy.
You are very nearly at the point when you shall ask what you will and it shall be done unto you.
You have entered upon a wonderful era – your lives are planned and blessed by Me as never before.
You are overcoming. You are counting all things but loss if you can win Me. And the promises to him that overcometh are truly wonderful, and will always be fulfilled.
When he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into
all truth … he will show you things to come. John 16:13
Do not sorrow if, after time with Me, you cannot repeat to yourself all the lessons you have learned. Enough that you have been with Me.
Do you in need to know the history of the plant or tree to enjoy the countryside? You have inhaled pure air and been refreshed with the beauty of the landscape. Enough for the day. So, too, you have been in My Presence and found rest unto your souls.
It is not thinking about Me, but dwelling with Me that brings perfect fearlessness.
There can be no fear where I am. Fear was conquered when I conquered all Satanic power. If all My followers knew this, and affirmed it with absolute conviction, there would be no need of armed forces to combat evil.
