January 23 – Fear No Evil

I am the Lord of your life, Guardian of your inmost being, the Christ of God.  Sheltered in My Hidden Place no harm can befall you.  Pray to know this.

Let this Truth become a part of your very consciousness, that where I am no evil can be, and that therefore when you abide in Me and I in you no evil can touch you.

Spiritual Truths take sometimes many years to learn, sometimes they come in a flash of sudden revelation.

January 22 – I Know All

I am the sharer of the secrets of your life.  How rich in blessing each experience may be if shared with Me alone.

How often, by much speaking and self-indulgent sharing with others, a jewel or rare beauty may be robbed of its priceless worth to your soul.  A bud of Joy and sweet perfume too rashly forced to premature bloom will lose its purity and fragrance.

Even the sharing of past sins and failures may mean self for the time in the foreground, or vitality, so needed for the present, lost.  Dwell in the Secret Place of the Most High.

January 21 – Exceeding Great Reward

I am thy shield and thine exceeding great reward.

Shield from the storm of life.  Shield from even the consequences of your own faults and failings.  Shield from your weakness.  Shield from worry.  Shield from fear and sorrow.  Shield from the world with its allure and temptations.  Not only your shield, but your exceeding great reward.

Not the reward of perfection in your life, for that you could not win here.  Not the reward of what you do, or of any merit in yourself.  Only the result, or reward of your questing.  The satisfaction of your hunger to find me.  Exceeding great reward.

Your reward is the same as that of the greatest saint who has ever lived.  Given not as a trophy of victory, not as a recognition of virtue, but given because you are the seeker, and I, your Lord, am the Sought.

January 20 – Now Is The Victory

I am with you.  I am delivering you.  But look for deliverance not from circumstances alone, but deliverance from the self-ties that bind you to earth, and that hinder your entrance into the kingdom of the service in which there is perfect freedom.  All is well.

You shall rise to newness of Life.  You cannot fail to rise as you free yourself from the toils and sins and failures that bind you to Earth.

No past sin can enchain you.  You look to Me and are saved.  They are all forgiven.  Conquer your faults with My Strength now, and nothing can prevent you from rising, nothing that is past.

January 19 – Comfort And Joy

I am with you.  I will help you.  Through suffering to health, through sorrow to joy, through pain to ease, through night to day — you shall be led and comforted.

Without previous experience of dawn and day none could dream that the glorious dawn and fullness of day could follow the blackest night.

Regard this experience not as darkness but as dawn.  The first faint glimmers of light are following the black night through which you have passed.  The full day is not yet.  But hail the DAWN with Me.

January 18 – Joy Of Meeting

So many think of prayer as petition only.   It IS petition.  “In everything by prayer and supplication let your requests be made known unto Me.”

But prayer is also a glad turning to meet Me for the joy of the meeting, for the rapture of My Presence.

Prayer, too, is preparation for tomorrow’s return to those who need you, those to whom My love goes out from you.

January 17 – Great Souls

I am here.  Realize My Presence.  My love surrounds you; be filled with My Joy.

You are being truly guided though not until you are content to be led as little children do you really live fully in the Kingdom of Heaven .

Life with Me is of child-like simplicity.  Simple souls are the great souls, for in simplicity there is majesty.

January 16 – The Foe Within

Never lose heart.  Kill the proud self as you go on, for on that dead self you rise.

On ever with Me.  Do not let earth’s frets disturb you.  Since you cannot follow Me and indulge self, at all costs turn self out directly its claims disturb; so only can you keep spiritual calm.

Not your circumstances but your self is the enemy.  A man’s foes are those of his own household.

Do others blame you falsely?  I was reviled but I reviled not again.

January 15 – Where Danger Lies

I am beside you — the eager Listener, so ready to hear your plea, so ready to say all that your heart needs.

Live more with Me apart, and so there will come an ever-increasing helpfulness to others.

Heart-poise, mental balance, spiritual strength, will be yours in ever more abundant measure.  Never feel that you can help others unaided by Me, for therein lies danger.

Your self-importance is destructive of helpfulness, devitalizing because your strength has such limitations.  Mine is limitless.

Grow more dependent upon Me, yet more assured that you can do all things through Me.

January 13 – Fight Evil Forces

You are going to be a mighty force against evil because you will be ever-increasingly the agent of Divine Power.  Think, when this is so, how could you for one moment imagine that evil could leave you alone?  It is to the advantage of evil to thwart you.

Think how those who care for you in the Unseen watch to see you conquer in My strength for My Glory.

The great battles of your world are fought in the Unseen.  Fight there your battles and win.  More than conquerors through Him Who loves you.  Fight with the whole armor of God, ready prepared for you.

Victors through Me.  Press on. Victory is in sight.
