Lesson

Today we will begin to let the thoughts be more focused on the words which flow from the deep mind, whilst you know not whence they come.

It is I, your Beloved, who strives to take all your doubts away, for your request has been heard. It is forever true that whatever you will think, I already know, because I know your hunger, and I know your desires to come closer to Me. However, this is difficult, as once in a while doubts still rear their ugly heads.

Yes, I promise that I will fulfill your deepest desires, but this can only be done when you show yourself to Me as totally willing. ‘How do I do that,’ you ask? Dear one, each time you seek My nearness, more doubt flees. Oh, yes! I know that you also desire to feel this in your heart, and not just in your material brain, where at this moment everything is astir.

Please do not worry. Just trust the process. You are a fragile human being, and the readiness needs to be there. You are such a delicate instrument, I do not want you to become unbalanced or unhinged. No fanaticism will ever surface in your mind while we take things slow and easy.

Your Master, Jesus, was never in a hurry. This is the character trait I would have you cultivate. Above all things, patience is required. This is also a fruit of the spirit, and we both know that you fall far short of producing this fruit.

I admonish you to try just a little harder to keep your temper in check. Just take ‘My Hand’ for I work with you, always, and I know that your intentions are good, but you need to remain calm, even if the nearest and dearest to you vex and exasperate you.

This is a most valuable lesson to learn.
