"(...) Let your thoughts be of a pure and holy kind and you will soon
realize that God's love is in your soul to a degree that will make you
feel
that He is your own near and dear Father. Do not doubt His love or that He
can come to you through the Holy Spirit, for that is His messenger of
love,
and it will never refuse to come into a man's heart and soul where the
desire exists to have it come, by earnest sincere prayer for its
inflowing.
Be true to yourself, as I have told you, and you will soon be in God's
love
and favor. Do not let worries or disappointments keep you from seeking His
love and believing that He is waiting to enfold you in His arms of mercy
and
love, for He is not only waiting but wants you to call on Him. Do not let
the thought that He is afar up in the heavens cause you to think that He
is
not always near you anxiously waiting your call.
He is not willing that one of His children should perish, and when they go
astray His great Heart of Love yearns for them to return and partake of
His
bounties and blessings. You must try with all your heart to realize this
truth, for it is a truth, and is the greatest truth taught us by Jesus,
who
is the greatest of all teachers. Make your daily life one of prayer and
aspirations, and you will see that what I have told you is not only true,
but you can make it a part of yourself. You have only to let your desires
turn towards God, and He will meet you more than half way, for He never
sleeps or closes His ear to the supplications of His children; and those
who
have sought Him with an earnest and repentant wish and longing desire of
the
soul, know that He has always responded to their call.
You are now in the way to obtain these blessings, and I pray that you may
continue, for you cannot find true happiness in any other way. This is
what
Jesus meant when He said, I am the Way, the Truth and the Life. He knew
that
there was only one way to obtain the Father's Love, and that is through
the
New Birth, which is merely the flowing into the soul of man the Love of
God
to the extent of eradicating all desires and tastes for things which are
not
in harmony with God's laws and love.
You must give your thoughts more to this vital consideration of the
economy
of God's being.
It is not a question of what church you belong to, or what particular
faith
you may have, or who your preacher may be, or to what duties you owe to
the
church or to the ceremony of baptism according to the church's dogmas; but
whether you have sought God in spirit and in truth and have received His
favor and Love.
This is an individual matter, and no man can be saved by the sufferings or
progress of another. Each soul is a complete unit when joined with its
mate,
and the spiritual condition of each soul towards God determines what its
place and happiness will be in the spirit world. So do not let the thought
that it is necessary to believe in a special church dogma or any ceremony,
keep you from seeking the New Birth. This is the fundamental principle
that
operates in the at-onement of man with God, and all other doctrines are
merely secondary and need to be believed only as they may lead to a belief
in this foundation.(...)"
God bless you all.
