GOD Calling

LOVE ANTICIPATES

Lord, I will seek thee

None ever sought Me in vain. I wait, wait with a hungry longing to be called upon, and I , who have already seen your hearts’ needs before you cried upon Me before perhaps you were conscious of those needs yourself, I am already preparing the answer .

It is like a Mother, who is setting aside suitable s for her daughter’s wedding, before Love even has come into the daughter’s life.
The Anticipatory Love of God is a thing mortals seldom realize. Dwell on this thought. Dismiss from your minds the thought of a grudging God, who had to be petitioned with sighs and tears and much speaking before reluctantly He loosed the desired treasures. Man’s thought of Me need revolutionizing.


Try and see a Mother preparing birthday or Christmas delights for her child—the while her Mother-heart sings: “Will she not love that? How she will love this?” and anticipates the rapture of her child, her own heart full of the tenderest joy. Where did the Mother learn all this preparation-joy? From Me—a faint echo this of My preparation-joy.


Try to see this as plans unfold of My preparing. It means much to Me to be understood, and the understanding of Me will bring great joy to you.

See you tomorrow, God Willing

AT ONE WITH GOD

One with Me. I and My Father are one. One with the Lord of the whole Universe!
Could human aspiration reach higher? Could man’s demands transcend this? One with Me.

If you realize your high privilege, you have only to think and immediately the object of your thought is called into being. Indeed, well may I have said, “Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.”

To dwell in thought on the material, when once you live in Me--is to call it into being. So you must be careful only to think of and desire that which will help, not hinder, your spiritual growth. The same law operates too on the spiritual plane.

Think Love, and Love surrounds you, and all about whom you think. Think thoughts of ill-will and ill surrounds you, and those about whom you think. Think health—health comes. The physical reflects the mental and spiritual .

A CROWDED DAY

Believe that I am with you, and controlling all. When My Word has gone forth, all are powerless against it.

Be calm. Never fear. You have much to learn. Go on until you can take the most crowded day with a song. “Sing unto the Lord.” The finest accompaniment to a Song of Praise to Me is a very crowded day. Let Love be the motif running through all.

Be glad all the time. Rejoice exceedingly. Joy in Me. Rest in Me. Never be afraid. Pray more. Do not get worried. I am thy Helper. “Underneath are the Everlasting Arms.” You cannot get below that. Rest in them, as a tired child rests.

See you tomorrow, God Willing

GRAY DAY

Be not afraid. I am your God, your Deliverer. From all evil, I will deliver you. Trust Me. Fear not.

Never forget your”Thank you.” Do not see it is a lesson? You must say” Thank You” on the grayest days. You must do it. All cannot be light unless you do . There is gray-day practice. It is absolutely necessary.


My death upon the Cross was not only necessary to save a world, it was necessary if only to train My disciples. It was all a part of their training: My entering Jerusalem in triumph, My washing the disciples’ feet, My sorrow-time in Gethsemane, My being despised, judged, crucified, buried.
Every step was necessary to their development—and so with you.


If gray day is not one of thankfulness, the lesson has to be repeated until it is. Not to everyone is it so. But only to those who ask to serve Me well, and to do much for Me. A great work requires a great and careful training

HOW POWER COMES


Lord, Thou art our Refuge.
Our God, in Thee do we trust.
O Master, come and talk with us

All power is given unto Me. It is Mine to give, Mine to withhold, but even I have to acknowledge that I cannot withhold it from the soul that dwells near Me, because it is then not a , but passes insensibly from Me to My disciples

It is breathed in by the soul who lives in My Presence. Learn to shut yourself away in My Presence—and then, without speaking, you have those things you desire of Me, Strength Power Joy Richer

YOUR GRAET REWARD

You pray for Faith, and you are told to do so. But I make provision in the House of My Abiding for those who turn towards Me and yet have weak knees and hearts that faint. Be not afraid. I am your God. Your Great Reward. Your s to look up and say,”All is well

I am your Guide. Do not want to see the road ahead. Go just one step at a time. I very rarely grant the long vista to My disciples, especially in personal affairs, for one step at a time is the best way to cultivate Faith. You are in uncharted waters. But the Lord of all Seas is with you, the Controller of all Storms is with you. Sing with joy. You follow the Lord OF Limitations, as well as the God in whose service is perfect freedom.


He, the God of the Universe, confined Himself within the narrow limits of a Baby-form and, in growing Boy-hood, and young Manhood, submitted to your human limitations, and you have to learn that your vision and power, boundless as far as spiritual things are concerned, must in temporal affairs submit to limitations too.


But I am with you . It was when the disciples gave up effort after a night of fruitless fishing, that I came, and the nets broke with the overabundance of supply

WAY OF HAPPINESS

Complete surrender of every moment to God is the foundation of happiness, the superstructure is the joy of Communion with Him. And that is, for each, the place, the mansion, I went to prepare for you

My followers have misunderstood that, and looked too often upon that promise as referring only to an After-Life, and too often—far too often---upon this live as something to be struggled through in order to get the reward and the joy of the next.


Seek to carry out all I say, and such understanding, insight, vision, and joy will be yours as shall pass indeed all understanding. The plans of God are very wonderful---beyond your highest hopes.


Cling to thoughts of protection, safety, guidance

See you tomorrow, God Willing
