Devious Ways
Life is not easy, My children.  Man has made of it not what My Father meant it to be.
Ways that were meant to be straight paths have been made by man into ways devious and evil, filled with obstacles and stones of difficulty.
And I will bring the blind by a way that they knew not; I will lead them in paths that they have not known:  I will make darkness light before them and crooked things straight.  Isaiah 42:16

My Richest Gift
Jesus, Thou didst come that we might have life, and have it more abundantly.
Life, spiritual, mental, physical, abundant Life -- Joyous Life, Powerful Life. Yes! These I came to give you.
Think you not My Heart was sad that so few would accept that gracious gift!
Think! earth's richest, choicest gift held out -- free to all, and no man to care to stretch out a hand to take it.
Is that possible? My Gift, the richest Heaven has to offer, that precious Gift of Life, abundant Life -- man turns away from -- rejects -- will have none of.
Let it not be true of you. Hasten to take -- to use.
Whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him ... shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life. John 4:13,14

Give Every Moment
My children, how dear to my Heart is the cry of Love that asks for all of Me, that wishes every action, thought, word and moment to be Mine. How poor the understanding of the one who thinks that money to be used in this good work or that, is the great gift to offer. Above all, I desire Love, true, warm, childlike Love, the trusting understanding Love, and then the gift I prize next is the gift of the moments, of all the moments.
I think even when Love's impetuous longing to serve Me has offered Me all Life, every day, every hour, I think even then it is a long, and not an easy lesson, to learn, what it means to give Me the moments.
The little things you planned to do, given up gladly at My suggestion, the little services joyfully rendered. See Me in all and then it will be an easy task
This is the priceless time of initiation, but remember that the path of initiation is not for all; but only for those who have felt the sorrow-cry of the world that needs a Savior and the tender plea of a Savior Who needs followers through whom He can accomplish His great work of Salvation joyfully.
Thus saith the Lord, Ye shall not go up, nor fight against your brethren the children of Israel; return every man to his house, for this thing is from me. 1 Kings 12:24
