Many, many in the world cry to Me, but oh! how few wait to hear Me speak to them; and yet to the soul, My Speaking to it matters so much.
My Words are Life. Think then, to hear Me speak is to find Life, and Healing and Strength. Trust Me in all things. Love showered on all brings truly a quick return.
Just carry out My wishes and leave Me to carry out yours. Treat Me as Saviour and King, but also with the tender intimacy of One much beloved.
Keep to the rules I have laid down for you, persistently; perseveringly; lovingly; patiently; hopefully; and in faith, and every mountain of difficulty shall be laid low, the rough places of poverty shall be made smooth, and all who know you shall know that I, your Lord, am The Lord.
Shower love.
Spirit Words. - March 2
"The words that I speak unto you, they are Spirit and they are Life."
Just as were the words I spoke to My disciples of old. This is your reward for not seeking spirit-communication through a medium. Those who do it, can never know the ecstasy, the wonder, of spirit-communication as you know it.
Life, joy, peace and healing are yours in very full measure. You will see this as you go on. At first, you can hardly credit the Powers I am bestowing on you.
I sent My disciples out two by two, and gave them Power over unclean spirits, and to heal all manner of diseases.
Wonderful indeed must it have been to Peter to feel suddenly that his Lord's Power (the Force) was his.
Grow Like Me. - March 3
Think of Me. Look at Me often, and unconsciously you will grow like Me.
You may never see it. The nearer you get to Me, the more will you see your unlikeness to Me. So be comforted My children.
Your very deep sense of failure is a sure sign that you are growing nearer to Me. And if you desire to help others to Me, then that prayer-desire is answered.
Remember too, it is only struggle that hurts. In sloth, spiritual, or mental, or physical, there is no sense of failure or discomfort, but with action, with effort, you are conscious not of strength but of weakness - at least, at first.
That again is a sign of Life, of spiritual growth.
And remember, My Strength is made perfect in weakness.
Key to Holiness. - March 4
Draw near to Me, My children. Contact with Me is the panacea for all ills.
Remember that Truth is many-sided. Have much tender love and patience for all who do not see as you do.
The elimination of 'Self' is the key to holiness and happiness, and can only be accomplished with My Help. Study My Life more. Live in My Presence. Worship My Father.
I said in Gethsemane, "If it be possible let this cup (the Grail) pass." I did not say that there was no cup of sorrow to drink. I was scourged and spat upon and nailed to the cross, and I said, "Father, forgive them, they know not what they do (they are insane)."
I did not say that they did not do it. When My disciple, Peter, urged Me to escape the cross, I said, "Get thee behind Me, Satan."
When My disciples failed to help the epileptic boy, I said, "This kind cometh not out but by prayer and fasting." I did not say "You imagined that he was ill. Nothing is wrong."
When The Bible says "God has purer eyes than to behold evil," it means to impute evil to His people. He always sees the good in people, but remember that I "beheld The City and wept over it."
Fear is Evil. - March 5
Have no fear. Fear is evil and "perfect Love casts out fear." There is no room for fear in the heart in which I dwell. Fear destroys hope. It cannot exist where Love is, or where Faith is.
Fear is the curse of the world. Man is afraid - afraid of poverty, afraid of loneliness, afraid of unemployment, afraid of sickness.
Many, many are man's fears. Nation is afraid of nation. Fear, fear, fear, everywhere. Fight fear as you would a plague. Turn it out of your lives and home. Fight it singly. Fight it together. Never inspire fear. It is an evil ally. Fear of punishment, fear of blame.
No work that employs this enemy of Mine is work for Me. Banish it. There must be another and better way.
Ask Me, and I will show it you.
Love and Laugh. - March 6
Work for Me, with Me, through Me. All work to last must be done in My Spirit. How silently My Spirit works. How gently and gradually souls are led into My Kingdom.
Love and Laughter form the plough that prepares the ground for the seed. Remember this. If the ground is hard, seed will not grow there.
Prepare the ground, prepare it as I say.
Surprises. - March 7
Many there are who think that I test and train and bend to My Will. I, who bade the disciples take up the cross, I loved to prepare a feast for them by the lakeside - a little glad surprise, not a necessity, as the feeding of the multitude may have seemed. I loved to give the wine-gift at the marriage feast.
As you love to plan surprises for those who understand, and joy in them, so with Me. I love to plan them for those who see My Love and tender Joy in them.
Dear to the heart of My Father are those who see not only My tears, the tears of a Saviour, but the smile, the Joy-Smile of a friend.
Heaven-Life. - March 8
The Joy of the Spring shall be yours in full measure. Revel in the Earth's joy. Do not you think that Nature is weary, too, of her long months of travail? There will come back a wonderful joy, if you share in her joy now.
Nature is the embodied Spirit of My Thoughts of beauty for this world. Treat her as such - as truly My servant and messenger, as any Jedi who has ever lived. To realize this will bring to you both new Life-Joy. Share her joys and travails, and great blessings will be yours.
This is all-important, because it is not only believing certain things about Me that helps and heals, but knowing Me, sensing My Presence in a flower, My Message in its beauty and perfume.
You can truly live a life not of Earth - a Heaven-Life here and now. Joy - Joy - Joy.
Nothing is Small. - March 9
Nothing is small to God. In His sight a sparrow is of greater value than a palace, one kindly word of more importance than a statesman's speech.
It is the Life in all that has value, and the quality of the life that determines the value. I came to give Eternal Life.
Fruit of Joy. - March 10
You have to hush the heart and bid all your senses be still before you can be attuned to receive Heaven's Music.
Your five senses are your means of communication with the material world, the links between your real Spirit-Life and the material manifestations around you, but you must sever all connection with them, when you wish to hold spirit-communication. They will hinder, not help.
See the good in everybody. Love the good in them. See your unworthiness compared with their worth. Love, laugh, make the world, your little world, joyful.
As the ripples caused by a flung stone stir the surface of a whole pond, so your joy-making shall spread in ever-widening circles, beyond all knowledge, all anticipation. Joy in Me. Such Joy is eternal.
Centuries after, it is still bearing Joy's precious fruit.
Seek Beauty. - March 11
Draw beauty from every flower and Joy from the song of the birds, and the colour of the flowers.
Drink in the beauty of air and colour. I am with you. When I wanted to express a beautiful thought, I made a lovely flower. I have told you. Reflect.
When I want to express to men what I am - what My Father is - I strive to make a very beautiful character.
Think of yourselves as My expression of attributes, as a lovely flower is My expression of thought, and you will strive in all, in spiritual beauty, in thought-power, in health, in clothing, to be as fit an expression for Me as you can.
Absorb beauty. As soon as the beauty of a flower or a tree is impressed upon your soul it leaves an image there which reflects through your actions. Remember that no thought of sin and suffering, of the approaching scorn and Crucifixion, ever prevented My seeing the beauty of the flowers.
Look for beauty and joy in the world around. Look at a flower until its beauty becomes part of your very soul. It will be given back to the world again by you in the form of a smile or a loving word or a kind thought or a prayer.
Listen to a bird. Take the song as a Message from My Father. Let it sink into your soul. That, too will be given back to the world in ways I have said. Laugh more, laugh often. Love more. I am with you. I am your Lord.
Spiritualism. - March 13
Wait before Me, gently breathing in My Spirit.
That Spirit which, if given a free entrance, and not barred out by 'Self', will enable you to do the same works as I did, which being interpreted is, will enable Me to do the same works, and even greater than I did when on earth - through you.
Spiritualism is wrong. No man should ever be a medium for any spirit, other than Mine.
All you should know, all it is well for you to know of My Spirit-Kingdom, I will tell you when and how I see best. The limit is set by your own spiritual development. Follow My injunctions in all things.
Peace - Peace - Peace.
God's Touch. - March 14
Near, all broodingly-near, as some tender mother-bird anxious over its young, I am here. I am your Lord, Life of your body and mind and soul - Renewer of your youth.
You do not know all that this time of converse with Me will mean to you. Did not My servant Isaiah say, "They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength. They shall mount up with wings as eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint."
Persevere in all I tell you to do. The persistent carrying out of My Commands, My desires, will unfailingly bring you, as far as spiritual, mental and temporal things are concerned, to that place where you would be.
If you look back over My Words to you, you will see that My leading has been very gradual, and that only as you have carried out My wishes, have I been able to give you more clear and definite Teaching and Guidance.
Man's ecstasy is God's touch on quickened, responsive spirit-nerves. Joy - Joy - Joy.
Your Cross Is You. - March 15
Remember, you are only an instrument. Not yours to decide how or when or where you act. I plan all that. Make yourself very fit (spiritually) to do My Work. All that hinders your activity must be cured.
Mine is the Cross on which the burdens of the world are laid. How foolish is any one of My disciples who seeks to bear his own burdens, when there is only one place for them - My Cross.
It is like a weary man on a hot and dusty road, bearing a heavy load, when all plans have been made for its carriage. The road, the scenery, flowers, beauty around - all are lost.
But, My children, you may think I did say, "Take up your cross daily and follow Me."
Yes, but the cross given to each one of you is only a cross provided on which you can crucify the 'Self' of yours that hinders progress and Joy, and prevents the flow through your being of My invigorating Life and Spirit.
Listen to Me, love Me, joy in Me. Rejoice.
Reflect Me. - March 16
My children, I am here beside you. Draw near in spirit to Me. Shut out the distractions of the world. I am your Life, the very breath of your soul. Learn what it is to shut yourself in the secret place of your Being, which is My secret place too.
True it is, I wait in many a heart, but so few retire into that inner place of the Being to commune with Me. Wherever the soul is, I am. Man has rarely understood this. I am actually at the centre of every man's Being, but, distracted with the things of the sense-life, he finds Me not.
Do you realize that I am telling you Truths, revealing them, not repeating oft-told facts. Meditate on all I say. Ponder it. Not to draw your own conclusions, but to absorb Mine.
All down the ages, men have been too eager to say what they thought about My Truth, and so doing, they have grievously erred. Hear Me. Talk to Me. Reflect Me. Do not say what you think about Me. My Words need none of man's explanation. I can explain to each heart.
Make Me real, and leave Me to do My own Work. To lead a soul to Me is one thing, to seek to stay with it to interpret, mars the first great act. So would it be with human intercourse. How much more then, when it is a question of the soul, and Me, its Maker, and only real Spirit that understands it.
No Greater Joy. - March 17
Withdraw into the calm of communion with Me. Rest - rest, rest in that calm and Peace. Life knows no greater joy than you will find in converse and companionship with Me.
You are Mine. When the soul finds its home of rest in Me, then it is that its real Life begins. As it takes its first step into a larger world. Not in years, as man counts it, do we measure in My Kingdom.
We count only from his second birth, that new birth of which I spoke to Nicodemus when I said, "Ye must be born again." We know no life but Eternal Life and when a man enters into that, then he Lives.
And this is Life Eternal, to know God, My Father and Me, the Son sent by Him. So immature, so childish, so empty is all so-called living before that. I shower Love on you. Pass Love on.
Do not fear. To fear is as foolish as if a small child with a small coin, but a rich father, fretted about how rent and rates should be paid, and what he or she would do about it. Is this work Mine or not? You need to trust Me for everything.
Claim Big Things. - March 18
Listen, listen, I am your Lord. Before Me there is none other. Just trust Me in everything. Help is here all the time.
The difficult way is nearly over, but you have learnt in it lessons you could learn in no other way. "The Kingdom of Heaven suffereth violence, and it is the violent who take it by force." Wrest from Me, by firm and simple trust and persistent prayer, the treasures of My Kingdom.
Such wonderful things are coming to you, joy - peace - assurance - security - health - happiness - laughter.
Claim big, really big things now. Remember nothing is too big. Satisfy the longing of My Heart to give. Blessing, abundant blessing, on you both now and always. Peace.
Courage. - March 19
I am here. Fear not. Can you really trust Me? I am a God of Power, as well as a Man of Love, so human, yet so Divine.
Just trust. I cannot, and I will not fail you. All is well. Courage.
Many are praying for you both.
Help From Everywhere. - March 20
Your foolish little activities are valueless in themselves. Seemingly trivial or of seemingly great moment, all deeds are alike if directed by Me. Just cease to function except through Me.
I am your Lord, just obey Me as you would expect a faithful willing secretary to carry out your directions. Just have no choice but Mine, no will but Mine.
I am dependent on no one agency when I am your supply. Through many channels My help and material flow can come.
All is Well. - March 21
Remember My Words to My disciples, "This kind cometh not out but by prayer and fasting." Can you tread the way I trod? Can you drink of My cup? "All is well." Say always, "All is well."
Long though The Way may seem, there is not one inch too much. I, your Lord, am not only with you on the journey - I planned, and am planning, the journey.
There are Joys unspeakable in The Way you go. Courage - courage - courage.
A Bud Opened. - March 22
To Me, your intimate Friend, all Power is given. It is given Me of My Father, and have not My intimate friends a right to ask it?
You cannot have a need I cannot supply. A flower or one thousand pounds - one is no more difficult than the other.
Your need is a spiritual need to carry on My work. All spiritual supply is fashioned from Love. The flower and the thousand pounds - both fashioned from Love to those who need it. Do you not see this?
I thought of you, a bud opened, you converted that into a cheer for one you love or a smile. That cheer meant increased health. Increased health means work for Me, and that means souls for Me.
And so it goes on, a constant supply, but only if the need is a spiritual one.
Until Your Heart Sings. - March 23
I am beside you to bless and help you. Waver not in your prayers. They shall be heard. All power is Mine. Say that to yourself often and steadily.
Say it until your heart sings with the Joy of the safety and power it means to you.
Say it until the very force of the utterance drives back, and puts to nought, all the evils against you.
Use it as a battle cry - "All power is given unto my Lord," "All power is given unto my Friend," "All power is given unto my Saviour," and then you pass on to victory.
Know Me. - March 24
I am here. Seek not to know the future. Mercifully I veil it from you.
Faith is too priceless a possession to be sacrificed in order to purchase knowledge. But faith itself is based on a knowledge of Me.
So remember that this evening time is not to learn the future, not to receive revelation of the unseen, but to gain an intimate knowledge of Me, which will teach you all things and be the very foundation of your faith.
Wonders Will Unfold. - March 25
I am with you. Do not fear. Never doubt My Love and Power. Your heights of success will be won by the daily persistent doing of what I have said.
Daily, steady persistence. Like the wearing away of a stone by steady drops of water, so will your daily persistence wear away all the difficulties and gain success for you, and secure your help for others.
Never falter, go forward so boldly, so unafraid. I am beside you to help and strengthen you.
Wonders have unfolded. More still will unfold, beyond your dreams, beyond your hopes.
Say "All is well" to everything. All is well.
Follow Your Guide. - March 26
I am with you to guide you and help you. Unseen forces are controlling your destiny. Your petty fears are groundless.
What of a man walking through a glorious glade who fretted because ahead there lay a river and he might not be able to cross it, when all the time, that river was spanned by a bridge? And what if that man had a friend who knew the way - had planned it - and assured him that at no part of the journey would any unforeseen contingency arise, and that all was well?
So leave your foolish fears, and follow Me, your Guide, and determinedly refuse to consider the problems of tomorrow. My Message to you is, trust and wait.
Go Forward. - March 27
Rest in Me, quiet in My Love, strong in My Power (the Force). Think what it is to possess a Power (Force) greater than any Earthly force. A sway greater, and more far-reaching, than that of any Earthly king.
No invention, no electricity, no magnetism, no gold, could achieve one millionth part of all that you can achieve by the Power of My Spirit. Just think for one moment all that means.
Go forward. You are only beginning the New Life together. Joy, joy, joy.
A Life Apart. - March 29
I reward your seeking with My Presence. Rejoice and be glad. I am your God. Courage and joy will conquer all troubles. First things first.
Seek Me, love Me, joy in Me. I am your Guide. No perils can affright you, no discipline exhaust you. Persevere. Can you hold on in My Strength? I love you more than you love Me. Struggle through this time for My sake. Initiation precedes all real work and success for Me.
Are you ready to live a life apart? Apart with Me? In the world and yet apart with Me? Going forth from your secret times of communion to rescue and save?
Deliverance. - March 30
Be calm, be true, be quiet. I watch over you. Rest in My Love. Joy in the very Beauty of Holiness. You are Mine. Deliverance is here for you, but thankfulness and Joy open the gates.
Be in all things very glad, very joyful, very thankful. It is not to quiet resignation I give My blessings, but to joyful acceptance and anticipation.
Laughter is the outward expression of joy. That is why I urge upon you love and laughter.
Love's Offering. - March 31
I am your Lord, Gracious and Loving. Rest in My Love, walk in My Ways. Each week is a week of progress, steady progress upward. You may not see it, but I do.
I judge not by outward appearances, I judge the heart, and I see in both your hearts one single desire, to do My Will. The simplest offering by a child brought or done with the one desire to please you, or to show you love, is it not more loved by you than the offerings of those who love you not?
So, though you may feel that your work has been spoiled and tarnished, I see it only as love's offering. Courage, My children.
When climbing a steep hill, a man is often more conscious of the weakness of his stumbling feet than of the view, the grandeur, or even of his upward progress.
Persevere, persevere. Love and laugh. Rejoice.
