All is Ready ( A special message to each one of Us)

From the book God at Eventide (http://www.twolisteners.org/Eventide.htm)

January 1 – All Is Ready

Write for all things are now ready.

The world is waiting for My Message of Love, and Hope, and Cheer.  The very unrest of the spirit is a sign.  The turning from the husk of religion is a sign.

Man is no longer lulled by empty phrases and promises of a better life hereafter.  He must know Me before he would wish to spend Eternity with Me.  He must know Me here in the storm where he needs strength and rest.

He has been sleeping; now he has been shocked awake.  Now he must find Me or fling defiance at Me or school himself into denial, or indifference. 

Reason and argument avail nothing.  Only by the lives of My followers can man be helped; only by seeing Mine unmoved, at peace, joyful, in a world of sorrow, disillusionment, and mistrust.

Your denial today will not be “I know not the man.”  The world is indifferent as to whether you know Me or not. No, it will be your failure to present Me in your life as I am — vital, sustaining, spirit-renewing, your All.

what joy is ?

this is from the book God calling, it’s very helpful ,supportive, beautiful and true : )

December 16 – What Joy Is

Lord, give us Thy Joy, that Joy that no man, no poverty, no circumstances, no conditions can take from us.

You shall have My Joy. But Life just now for you both is a march — a toilsome march. . . .The Joy will come, but for the moment do not think of that, think simply of the march. Joy is the reward. . . .

Between My Promise of the Gift of Joy to My disciples and their realization of that Joy came sense of failure, disappointment, denial, desertion, hopelessness, then hope, waiting, and courage in the face of danger.

Joy is the reward of patiently seeing Me in the dull dark days, of trusting when you cannot see. . . .Joy is as it were your heart’s response to My smile of recognition of your faithfulness. . . .

Stop thinking your lives are all wrong if you do not feel it. . . . Remember you may not yet be joyous, but you are brave, and courage and unselfish thought for others are as sure signs of true discipleship as Joy.

“Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace
 in believing, that ye may abound in hope, 
through the power of the Holy Ghost.” Romans 15:13
