Never Ruffled

Even were I never to speak to you, you would be well rewarded for setting apart this time, if you only sat still and longed for Me, if you just drew hungering breaths for Me, as you do for the fresh pure air of the open.

Be still, be calm. Wait before Me. Learn of Me, patience, humility, peace. When will you be absolutely unruffled whatever happens? You are slow to learn your lesson. In the rush and work and worry, the very seeking a silence must help.

In bustle so little is accomplished. You must lean to take the calm with you in the most hurried days.

Inspiration, Not Aspiration

You shall be used. The divine force is never less. It is sufficient or all the work in the world. I only need the instruments for Me to use. To know that would remake the world.

The world does not need super men, but supernatural men. Men who will persistently turn the self out of their lives and let divine power work through them. Countries could be saved tomorrow if only there politicians just let Me use them.

Let inspiration take the place of aspiration. All unemployment would cease. I have always plenty of work to be done and always pay My workpeople well as you will see, as more and more you get the right attitude of thought about the work being Mine only.

In My Presence
You do not realize that you would have broken down under the weight of your cares but for the renewing time with Me. It is not what I say; it is I, Myself. It is not the hearing Me so much as the being in My presence. The strengthening and curative powers of this you cannot know. Such knowledge is beyond your human reckoning.

This would cure the poor sick world, if every day, each soul, or group of souls, waited before Me. Remember, that you must never fail to keep this time apart with me. Gradually you will be transformed, physically, mentally, spiritually, into My likeness. All who see you, or contact with you will be, by this intercourse with you, bought near to Me, and gradually the influence will spread.

You are making one spot of earth a holy place, and though you must work and spend yourself ceaselessly because that is for the present your appointed task, yet the greatest work either of you can do, and are doing, is done in this time apart with Me. Are you understanding that?

Do you know that every thought, every activity, every prayer, every longing of the day is gathered up and offered to Me, now. Oh! Joy that I am with you. For this I came to earth, to lead man back to spirit converse with Me.

Near the Goal

In a race it is not the start that hurts, not the even pace of the long stretch. It is when the goal is in sight that heart and nerves and courage and muscles are strained almost beyond human endurance, almost to a breaking point.

So with you now the goal is in sight, you need your final cry to Me. Can you not see by the nerve and heart rack of the past few days that your race is nearly run. Courage, courage. Heed My voice of encouragement. Remember that I am by your side, spurring you on to victory.

In the annals of heaven, the saddest records are those that tell of the many who ran well, with brave stout hearts, until in sight of the goal, of victory, and then their courage failed. The whole host of heaven longed to cry out how near the end was, to implore the last spurt, but they fell out, never to know until the last day of revealing, how near they were to victory.

Would that they had listened to Me in the silence as you two meet with Me. They would have known. There must be the listening ear, as well as the still small voice.

Meet Me Everywhere

Life is really consciousness of Me. Have no fear. A very beautiful future lies before you. Let it be a new life, a new existence, in which in every single happening, event, plan, you are conscious of Me.

"And this is life eternal, that they may know Thee, and Jesus whom thou has sent."

Get this ever consciousness and you have eternal lie, the life of the ages. Be in all things led by the Spirit of God and trust Me in all. And the consciousness of Me must bring Joy. Give me not only trust but gladness.

The Difficult Path

Your path is difficult, difficult for you both. There is no work in life so hard as waiting, and yet I say wait. Wait until I show you My Will. Proof it is of My love and of My certainty of your true discipleship, that I give you both hard tasks.

Again, I say wait. All motion is more easy than calm waiting. So many of My followers have marred their work and hindered the progress of My Kingdom by activity.

Wait. I will not over try your spiritual strength. You are both like two persons, helpless on a raft in mid-ocean. But, lo! there cometh towards you One walking on waters, like unto the Son of Man. When He comes and you receive Him, it will be with you, as it was with My disciples, when I as on earth, that straightway you will be at the place where you would be.

All your toil in rowing and all your activity could not have accomplished the journey so soon. Oh, wait and trust. Wait, and be not afraid.

The Life Line

I am you Savior, your Savior from sins thralls, your Savior from all the cares and troubles of life, your Savior from disease. I speak in all to you both. Look to Me for salvation. Trust in Me for help. Did not My servant of old say, "All thy waves and thy billows are gone over me?" But not all the waters of affliction could drown him. For of him was it true, "He came from above, He took me, He drew me out of many waters."

The life line, the line of rescue is the line from the soul to God, faith and power. It is a strong line, and no soul can be overwhelmed who is linked to Me by it. Trust, trust, trust. Never be afraid.

Think of My trees, stripped of their beauty, pruned cut, disfigured, bare, but through the dark seemingly dead branches, flows silently, secretly, the spirit life sap, till, lo! with the sun of spring comes new life, leaves bud, blossom, fruit, but oh! fruit a thousand times better for the pruning.

Remember that you are in the hands of a Master Gardner. He makes no mistakes about His pruning. Rejoice. Joy is the Spirit's reaching out to say its thanks to Me. It is the new life, sap of the tree, reaching out to Me to find such beautiful expression later. So never cease to joy. Rejoice.

The Voice Divine

The Divine Voice is not always expressed in words. It is made known as a heart consciousness.

On Me Alone
I am your Lord, your supply. You must rely on Me. Trust to the last uttermost limit. Trust and be not afraid. You must depend on divine power only. I have not forgotten you. Your help is coming. You shall know and ealize My power.

Endurance is faith tried almost to breaking point. You must wait, and trust, and hope, and joy in Me. You must not depend on man but on Me, on Me, your strength, your help, your supply.

This is the great test. Am I your supply or not? Every great work for Me has had to have this great test time.

Possess your souls in patience and rejoice. You must wait until I show the way. Heaven itself cannot contain more joy than that soul knows when, after the waiting test, I crown it victor, but no disciple of Mine can be victor, who does not wait until I give the order to start. You can not be anxious if you know that I am your supply.

Light Ahead
Trust and be not afraid. Life is full of wonder. Open child trusting eyes to all I am doing for you. Fear not.

Only a few steps more and then My power shall be seen and known. You are, yourselves, now walking in the tunnel darkness. Soon, you shall be lights to guide feet that are afraid.

The cries of your sufferings have pierced even to the ears of God himself, My Father in Heaven, your Father in Heaven. To hear, with God is to answer. For only a cry from the heart, a cry to divine power to help human weakness, a trusting cry, ever reaches the ear divine.

Remember trembling heart, that with God, to hear is to answer. Your prayers, and they have many, are answered.
