God's Longing
To the listening ear I speak, to the waiting heart I come. Sometimes, I may not speak. I may ask you merely to wait in My presence, to know that I am with you.
Think of the multitudes, who thronged Me, when I was on earth, all eager for something. Eager to be healed, or taught, or fed.
Think as I supplied their many wants, and granted their manifold requests, what it meant to Me. To find amid the crowd, some one or two, who followed Me just to be near Me, just to dwell in My presence. How some longing of the eternal heart was satisfied thereby.
Comfort Me, awhile, by letting Me know that you would seek Me just to dwell in My presence, to be near Me, not even for teaching, not for material gain, not even for a message, but, for Me. The longing of the human heart to be loved for itself is something caught from the great divine hear.
I bless you. Bow your heads.

You Shall Know Walk with Me. I will teach you. Listen to Me and I will speak. Continue to meet Me, in spite of all opposition and every obstacle, in spite of days when you may hear no voice, and there may come no intimate heart to heart telling.As you persist in this, and make a life habit of it, in many marvelous ways I will reveal My will to you. You shall have more sure knowing of both the present and the future. But that will be only the reward of the regular coming to meet Me.
Life is a s... Continue reading...

Drop Your Crutch Just go step by step. My will shall be revealed as you go. You will never cease to be thankful for this time when you felt at peace and trustful, and yet had no human security.That is the time of the true learning of trust in Me. "When thy father and mother forsake thee, then the Lord will take thee up." This is a literal dependence on Me.When human support or material help of any kind is removed, then My power can become operative. I cannot teach a man to walk who is trustin... Continue reading...

If Men OpposeOnly believe. The walls of Jericho fell down. Was it axes or human implements that brought them down? Rather the songs of praise of the people and My thought carried out in action.All walls shall fall before you, too. There is no earth power. It falls like a house of paper, at My miracle working touch. Your faith and My power, the only two essentials. Nothing else is needed.
So, if man's petty opposition still holds good it is only because I choose to let it stand between you and ... Continue reading...

Another StartTake courage. Do not fear. Start a new life tomorrow. Put the old mistakes away, and start anew. I give you a fresh start. Be not burdened. Be not anxious. If My forgiveness were for the righteous only, and those who had not sinned, where would be its need?Remember as I said to Mary of old, "To whom much is forgiven, the same loveth much."Why do you fret and worry so? I wait to give you all that is lovely, but your lives are soiled with worry and fret. You would crush My treasure... Continue reading...

The Soul at WarNo evil can befall you, if I am with you. All that He blesses is our good. Every time of being laid aside is a time of retreat into the quiet place with Me. Never fear but in that place you shall find restoration and power and joy and healing.Plan both of your retreat days now and then, days when you live apart with me, and arise rested and refreshed-physically, mentally, and spiritually, to carry on the work I have given to you. I will never give you a load greater than you ca... Continue reading...

I Clear the PathI am thy shield. Have no fear. You must know that "all is well." I will never let anyone do to you both, other than My will for you.I can see the future. I can read men's hearts. I know better than you what you need. Trust me absolutely. You are not at the mercy of fate or buffeted about by others. You are being led in a very definite way, and others, who do not serve your purpose, are being moved out of your path by Me.
Never fear, whatever may happen. You are both being led. ... Continue reading...

Low AmbitionsFear not. Do not fear to be busy. You are the servant of all. "He that would be the greatest among you, let him be the servant of all." Service is the word of My disciples. I served indeed, the humblest, the lowliest. I was at their command. My highest powers were at their service.Be used. Be used by all, by the lowest, the smallest. How best you can serve? Let that be your daily seeking, not how best can you be served.
Truly man's thoughts are not God's thoughts, nor man's ways, ... Continue reading...
