G.E. - Your Heart is Fixed. - July 10
Still go forward unafraid. The way will open as you go.
It is fear that blocks My Way for you. Have no fear. Know that all is well.
No circumstances, no outward changes, can harm you in any way. Each should prove a step of progress, as long as your hearts are fixed, "trusting in the Lord."
I know no change.
G.C. - Expect Many Miracles. - July 10
My guardianship is so wonderful.
Expect not one miracle but many.
Each day's happenings, if of My working, and under My control, are miracle-works.
G.E. - More Doors will Open. - July 11
Go on in faith and trust. The Way opens as you go.
In the Jedi Life doors swing open as you come to them, if so be that you have advanced to them along the straight path of obedience.
As you started your journey, what would it have profited had you worried about the closed door ahead?
In the Spirit-Life miracle-working Power operates through natural human channels. As you have seen.
So this is the continuing lesson: Go steadily forward in firm trust along the path of quiet obedience.
That is your work. Mine to cause the doors to swing open, as you come to them, not before.
How often have I opened those doors for you in the past? More will open. So trust, so hope, so love.
G.C. - Guardian Angels. - July 11
You are Mine. Once I have set on you My stamp and seal of ownership all My Hosts throng to serve and protect you.
Remember that you are daughters of a King.
Try to picture a bodyguard of My servitors in the Unseen waiting, longing, efficient, to do all that is necessary for your well-being.
Feel this as you go through the day. Feel this and all is well.
G.E. - Your Order of Merit. - July 12
Grace is the distinctive mark I set upon My friends. It is no order of merit. It is the result of living with Me. It is even unobserved by those on whom I bestow it, but to those they meet who have eyes to see, it is apparent just as during My time on earth it was said, "They took knowledge of them that they had been with Jesus."
It may be the sign of My sustaining Power within a life. It may be the quiet strength of poise, the mark of self-conquest, some faint reflection of My character, or a mystic scent of the soul unfolding to My Love.
G.C. - Saviour and Saviour. - July 12
If you believe it is My Hand that has saved you, then you must believe that I am meaning to save you yet more, and to keep you in The Way that you should go.
Even a human rescuer does not save a man from drowning only to place him in other deep and dangerous waters. But rather to place him on dry land - and more - there to restore him to animation and health, and to see him to his home.
From this parable learn what I your Rescuer would do, and even more. Is the Lord's Hand shortened that it cannot perform and cannot save?
My cry on the cross of "It is finished" is My Cry of Salvation for a whole world.
I complete every task committed to Me. So trust and be not afraid.
G.E. - Harmonize. - July 13
Grow daily, ever more and more, into My likeness. Do My Will as revealed to you, and leave the result to Me. If you are but My representative, then why concern yourself as to whether the action I have arranged for you is wise or not?
If your control of mind and body is not as progressive as that of your spirit, it is a hindrance. See to this. The three must work in unison; otherwise disharmony.
Beautiful though one instrument may be in an orchestra, with a beauty beyond that of any other, yet should it play its part ahead of those others, disharmony results; and so with you a sense of frustration and failure follows disharmony within.
G.C. - Expect The Good. - July 13
Can you get the expectant attitude of faith?
Not waiting for the next evil to befall you but awaiting with a child's joyful trust the next good in store?
God at Eventide
Home of Creation. - July 14
Have no fear. Wonders are unfolding ever more and more. You will be guided in all as you dwell in the Secret Place of the Most High.
Remember in that Secret Place was thought out all the wonders of the Universe. There all your wonder plans will be evolved. It is the home of Creation, and there you, too, share in Creative Power.
God Calling
True Success. - July 14
Our Lord, we thank Thee that Thou hast kept us.
Rejoice indeed that you see My Hand in all the happenings and the keepings of the day. Protected, the Israelites crossed the Red Sea; so are you protected in all things.
Rely on this and go forward. You have now entered upon the stage of success. You must not doubt this. You must see this. Beyond all doubt you must know it. It is true. It is sure.
There is no age in Eternal Life. Have no pity for your 'Self', nothing but joy and gratitude.
These last few weeks have been the submerging before the consciousness of rescue. Go forward now and conquer. Go forward unafraid.
G.E. - Home of Joy. - July 15
Heart speaks to heart as you wait before Me. Love enkindles Love.
The air you breathe is Divine, Life-giving, invigorating.
The place in which you rest is My Secret Place.
You do not come to ask Me of doctrine.
That is, as it were, the foundation of your Spiritual being; necessary, but once secure, you seek to fashion, with Me, its beautiful superstructure - the home of Peace and Joy where I come and commune with you.
G.C. - Songs on The Way. - July 15
Many of My disciples have had to stay on in the dark, alone and friendless.
They struggled on, singing as they went.
For you, too, there must be songs on The Way.
Should I plant your feet on an insecure ladder?
Its supports may be out of your sight, hidden in the secret Place of The Most High, but if I have asked you to step on and up firmly - then surely have I secured your ladder.
Confidences. - July 16
Help is always yours.
It comes so swiftly when you realize that you are insufficient to supply your need. But it comes the more potently as you grow to see that for each need the supply was already provided.
My followers so often act as if My supply came into being only through prayer for help.
Would any man in authority act thus in his business?
Learn of Me. I will teach you lovingly, patiently. My lessons are not of the schoolroom; they are fireside confidences.
G.C. Refuge. - July 16
Know My Divine Power. Trust in Me. Dwell in My Love. Laugh and trust. Laughter is a child's faith in God and good.
Seek safety in My Secret Place.
You cannot be touched or harmed there. That is sure.
Really feel as if you were in a strong Tower, strongly guarded, and against which nothing can prevail.
G.E. Foretaste of Heaven. - July 17
I thank Thee, Lord, for the Joy Thou givest me and for Thy tender care of me.
Grow ever more and more conscious of this. Look upon all as under My Influence, and life will become increasingly full of Joy. This Joy no man taketh from you.
This is the foretaste of Heaven that will make your passing seem no death, and will mean that your spirit will be no stranger in the home of spirits but will be breathing an atmosphere familiar and dear.
G.C. - Peace. Be Still. - July 17
Rejoice, rejoice. I have much to teach you both. Think not that I withhold My Presence when I do not reveal more of My Truth to you.
You are passing through a storm. Enough that I am with you to say "Peace, be still," to quiet both winds and waves.
It was on the quiet mountain slopes that I taught My disciples the Truths of My Kingdom, not during the storm.
So with you, the time of the mountain slopes will come, and you shall rest with Me and learn.
G.E. - Meek and Lowly. - July 18
As the world's great Teacher I taught not so much by word as by the Living Word.
"Learn of Me" I said, adding that men should see in Me meekness . . . and lowliness.
So that My disciples should take Me as their great example, I epitomised My attitude towards My Father in Heaven and towards His other Children as "Meek and lowly."
Towards God the Father the meekness of a yielded will; towards His other children lowliness, devoid of the pride that sunders men, and prevents their humble approach to God.
"Learn of Me - I am meek and lowly in heart." So do you find rest unto your souls.
Walk Humbly. - July 18
Fear of what others will say is want of Trust in Me. This must not be. Convert all these difficulties into the purification of your characters.
See yourselves as those around you see you, not as you wish to be, and walk very humbly with your God.
I will set you on high because you have known My Name, but it must be a purified you to be so exalted.
G.E. - Wayside Meetings. - July 19
I use such simple things and casual moments to reveal Myself to man. He can meet Me in the common ways of life - if he has but eyes to see and ears to hear.
No great sign, nothing spectacular. In the seemingly incidental along the road of life I meet with him and reveal My Will, My Purpose, My Guidance.
No miles to walk, no long journey to travel, no strange language to learn, no state of ecstasy to be experienced first. Think on these things. Recall our many meetings by the wayside.
G.C. - Marvellous Happenings. - July 19
Our Lord, with hearts full of joy we thank Thee for Thy marvellous blessings showered on us today and every day.
I am beside you. Follow in all things My Guiding. Marvels beyond all your imaginings are unfolding. I am your Guide. Joy in that thought. Your Guide and your Friend. Remember that to Me a miracle is only a natural happening. To My disciples, to My chosen, a miracle is only a natural happening. But it is a natural happening operative through spiritual forces, and therefore the man who works and understands through the senses only, regards it as something contrary to Nature.
Remember too that the natural man is at enmity with God. Realize fully, and pray to realize more and more fully, that there is no wonder too marvellous to be with you an everyday happening, if you are guided and strengthened by Me.
My children, the children of My Kingdom are a peculiar people; set apart, different hopes, and aspirations, and motives and sense of reward.
You see a marvellous happening (as that today), happening so easily, so simply, so free from all other agency, and you wonder.
My children, listen, this has not happened easily and simply. It has been achieved by hours; days; months of weariness and heartache battled against and overcome, by a steadfast, unflinching desire to conquer 'Self', and to do My Will and live My Teachings.
The frets and the worries and the scorn patiently borne mean spiritual Power acquired, operating marvellously.
