Learn daily the sublime lesson of trust\u00a0and calm in the midst of storm.\u00a0 Whatever of sorrow or difficulty the day may bring My tender command to you is still the same\u00a0—\u00a0 Love and laugh. <\/i> <\/span><\/p>\n Love and\u00a0Laughter, not a sorrowful resignation, mark real acceptances of My Will.\u00a0\u00a0Leave every soul the braver and happier for having met you.\u00a0 For children\u00a0or youth, middle or\u00a0old age, for sorrow, for sin, for all you may encounter in others, this should be your attitude.\u00a0Love and Laugh. <\/i> <\/span><\/p>\n Do not fear. Remember how I faced the devil in the wilderness, and how\u00a0I conquered with\u00a0“the sword of the spirit which is the word of God.”\u00a0 You too\u00a0have your quick answer to every fear that\u00a0evil may present — an answer of faith and confidence in me.\u00a0 Where possible say it aloud.<\/span><\/p>\n The spoken word has power.\u00a0 Look on every fear, not as a weakness on your part due to illness or worry, but as a very real temptation to be attacked and overthrown. <\/span><\/p>\n And Moses said … Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation Does the way seem\u00a0a stony one?\u00a0 Not one stone can impede your progress. Courage.\u00a0 Face\u00a0the future, but\u00a0face<\/i> it only with a brave and happy heart.\u00a0 Do not seek\u00a0to see<\/i> it.\u00a0 YOU are robbing Faith\u00a0of her sublime sweetness if you do this. <\/span><\/p>\n Just know that all is well and that\u00a0Faith, not seeing, but believing, is the barque that will bear you to safety, over the stormy waters.\u00a0“According to your faith be it\u00a0unto you” was My\u00a0injunction to those who sought healing of Me. <\/span><\/p>\n If for wonder-working, if for healing, if for salvation faith was so necessary then the reason is clear why I urged that all who sought entrance to My Kingdom must become as little children.\u00a0 Faith is the child-attitude. <\/span><\/p>\n Seek in every way to become child-like.\u00a0Seek, seek, seek until you find, until the years have added to your nature that of the trusting child.\u00a0 Not only for its simple trust must you copy the child-spirit, but for its joy in life, it’s\u00a0ready laughter, its lack of criticism, its desire to share all with all men.\u00a0 Ask much that you may become as little children, friendly and loving towards all — not critical, not fearful.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n “Except ye…become as little children ye cannot enter the Kingdom of Heaven.”<\/span><\/p>\n And Jesus called a little child unto him…And said… Except<\/span><\/em> Our Lord, we love Thee and desire to live for Thee in all things.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n My children,\u00a0 “Blessed are they that hunger and thirst after righteousness, for they shall be filled.”\u00a0 That is satisfaction.<\/span><\/p>\n Only in the fullness of spiritual things can the heartsick and faint and weary be satisfied, healed, and rested.\u00a0 “Lord,” we cry, “to whom shall we go but to Thee.”\u00a0 “Thou preparest the table before us.”\u00a0 Bread of Life, Food from Heaven.<\/span><\/p>\n How few realize that the feeding of the four thousand and the five thousand was in each case but an illustration of the way in which I should one day be the Food of My people.<\/span><\/p>\n Think of the wonder of revelation still to be seen by those who live with Me.\u00a0 All these hundreds of years, and much of what I said and did is still mystery, much of My Life on earth is still spiritually unexplored country.\u00a0 Only to the simple and loving heart that walks with me can these things be revealed.\u00a0 I have carefully hidden these things from the wise and prudent and have revealed them unto babes.<\/span><\/p>\n Do not weigh your spirits down with the sins and sorrows of the world.\u00a0 Only a Christ can do that and live.\u00a0 Look for the loving, the true, the kindly, the brave in the many all around you.<\/span><\/p>\n As the heart panteth after the water brooks,\u00a0<\/span><\/em> What man calls conversion is often only the discovery of the Great Friend.\u00a0 What man calls religion is the knowledge of the Great Friend.\u00a0 What man calls holiness is the imitation of the Great Friend<\/span><\/p>\n Perfection, that perfection I enjoined on all, the being perfect as your Father in Heaven is perfect, is the being like the Great Friend and in turn becoming to others a Great Friend too<\/span><\/p>\n I am your Friend.\u00a0 Think again of all that means — Friend and Savior.\u00a0 A friend is ready to help, anticipating every want, hand outstretched to help and encourage, or to ward off danger, voice of tenderness to soothe tired nerves and speak peace to restlessness and fear.<\/span><\/p>\n Think of what, to you, your friend is and then from that, try to see a little of what the Perfect Friend, the tireless, self-less, all-conquering, all miracle-working Friend would be.\u00a0 That<\/em> Friend, and more even than your heart can imagine, that Friend<\/em> am I.<\/span><\/p>\n Were I to read\u00a0My Kingdom — My Kingdom of the Child Hearts — the doctrines of your churches, so often there would be no response.\u00a0 But the simple rules I gave My followers are known, loved, and lived by them all.<\/span><\/p>\n In all things seek simplicity.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n A man that hath friends must shew himself friendly;\u00a0<\/span><\/em> I am with you all the time controlling, blessing, and helping you.\u00a0 No man or woman can stand against My Will for you.\u00a0 A whole world of men and women cannot do this — if you trust Me and place your affairs in My Hands.<\/span><\/p>\n To the passenger it may seem as if each wave\u00a0would overwhelm the ship, or turn it aside from its course.\u00a0 The captain knows by experience that, in spite of wind and wave, he steers a straight course to the haven where he would be.<\/span><\/p>\n So trust Me, the Captain of your salvation.<\/span><\/p>\n And he shall deliver their kings into thine hand, and thou shalt\u00a0<\/em><\/span> Never<\/i> let yourselves think “we cannot afford this,” or “shall never be able to do that.”\u00a0 Say “the supply for it is not here yet, but it will come if we should have it.\u00a0 It will <\/em>surely come.”<\/span><\/p>\n Persevere in saying that and gradually a feeling of being plentifully supplied and of being surrounded by riches will possess you.\u00a0 That feeling is your faith claiming My Supply, and according to your faith it shall be unto you.<\/span><\/p>\n But it is not the faith expressed in moments of prayer and exaltation I look for but the faith that lays immediately to rest the doubts of the day as they arise, that attacks and conquers the sense of limitation.<\/span><\/p>\n “Ask and ye shall receive.”<\/span><\/p>\n Wealth and riches shall be in his house:\u00a0 and his<\/span><\/em> Help and peace and joy are here.\u00a0 Your courage will be rewarded.<\/p>\n Painful as this time is you will both one day see the reason of it, and see too that it was not cruel testing, but tender preparation for the wonderful life-work you are both to do.<\/p>\n Try to realize that your own prayers are being most wonderfully answered. Answered in a way that seems painful to you, but that just now is the only way.<\/p>\n Success in the temporal world would not satisfy you.<\/p>\n Great success, in both temporal and spiritual worlds, awaits you.<\/p>\n I know you will see this had to be.<\/p>\n Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try\u00a0<\/span><\/em> You are being guided but remember that I said “I will guide thee with Mine Eye.”<\/p>\n And My Eye is My set purpose — My Will.<\/p>\n To guide with My Will is to bring all your desires into one-ness with My Will, My desires.<\/p>\n To make My will your only will.\u00a0 then My will guides you.<\/em><\/p>\n Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of<\/em><\/span> Joy in Me. Joy is infectious. Trust and pray. It is not sin for one who knows Me only as God, as Creator, to doubt Me, to question my Love and purposes.<\/p>\n But for one who knows Me as you do, as Friend and Savior, and who knows the world’s God as Father — for that one to doubt\u00a0My purpose and saving Power and tender Love is wrong indeed.<\/span><\/p>\n But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice; let them\u00a0<\/span><\/em> My guardianship is so wonderful.<\/p>\n Expect not one miracle but many.<\/span><\/p>\n Each day’s happenings, if of My working, and under My control, are miracle-works.<\/span><\/p>\n This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee,\u00a0<\/em><\/span> You are Mine.\u00a0 Once I have set on you My stamp and seal of ownership all\u00a0My Hosts throng to serve and protect you.<\/span><\/p>\n Remember that you are daughters of a King.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Try to picture a bodyguard of My servitors in the Unseen waiting, longing, efficient, to do all that is necessary for your well-being.<\/span><\/p>\n Feel this as you go through the day.\u00a0 Feel this and all is well.<\/span><\/p>\n I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.\u00a0 Psalm 139:14<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n If you believe it is My Hand that has saved you, then you must believe that I am meaning to save you yet more, and to keep you in the way that you should go.<\/span><\/p>\n Even a human rescuer does not save a man from drowning only to place him in other deep and dangerous waters.\u00a0 But rather to place him on dry land — and more — there to restore him to animation and health, and to see him to his home.<\/span><\/p>\n From this parable learn what I your Rescuer would do, and even more.\u00a0 Is the Lord’s Hand shortened that it cannot perform and cannot save?<\/span><\/p>\n My cry on the cross of “It is finished” is My Cry of Salvation for the whole world.<\/span><\/p>\n I complete every task committed to Me. So trust and be not afraid.<\/span><\/p>\n Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun<\/span><\/em> Can you get the expectant attitude of faith?<\/span><\/p>\n Not waiting for the next evil to befall you but awaiting with\u00a0a child’s joyful trust the next good in store?<\/span><\/p>\n So then faith cometh by hearing, and\u00a0<\/em><\/span> Our Lord, we thank Thee that Thou hast kept us.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n Rejoice indeed that you see My Hand in all the happenings and the keepings of the day.\u00a0 Protected, the Israelites crossed the Red Sea; so are you protected in all things.<\/span><\/p>\n Rely on this and go forward.\u00a0 You have now entered upon the stage of success.\u00a0 You must not doubt this.\u00a0 You must see this.\u00a0 Beyond all doubt you must know it.\u00a0 It is true.\u00a0 It is sure.<\/span><\/p>\n There is no age in Eternal Life.\u00a0 Have no pity for yourself, nothing but joy and gratitude.<\/span><\/p>\n These last few weeks have been the submerging before the consciousness of rescue.\u00a0 Go forward now and conquer.\u00a0 Go forward unafraid.<\/span><\/p>\n Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, that\u00a0<\/span><\/em> Many of My disciples have had to stay on in the dark, alone and friendless.<\/span><\/p>\n They struggled on, singing as they went.<\/span><\/p>\n For you, too, there must be songs on the way.\u00a0 Should I plant your feet on an insecure ladder?\u00a0 Its supports may be out of your sight, hidden in my secret Place of the Most High, but if I have asked you to step on and up firmly — then surely have I secured your ladder.<\/span><\/p>\n Thou art my hiding place; thou shalt preserve me from trouble;\u00a0<\/em><\/span> July 1 – Attack Fear Learn daily the sublime lesson of trust\u00a0and calm in the midst of storm.\u00a0 Whatever of sorrow or difficulty the day may bring My tender command to you is still the same\u00a0—\u00a0 Love and laugh.
