Misplaced Righteousness Aug. 31
A specific wrong done to you does not justify your giving up on some virtue. If a close relative or friend commits a wrong, you cannot use that as an excuse to give up patience, to give up love, or to check them off as unworthy of your concerns. All are precious in the Father’s eyes and so important in Mine. My love endures all things but one: those that reject Me.

Thurs.26 thru Mon. 30
Waiting Aug.26
26 Remember, a time for talk always presents itself. But there remains a time for stillness. Be still and know Me. Though it seems like nothing comes through, know that I am here. Peace and rest I give you. Receive the gift.
Complete Forgiveness Aug.27
27 Events will happen when people will hurt you, misuse you, and treat you unkindly. In My word I said that when others do not receive you well, you are to shake the dust from your feet and move on. I did not mean you should ignore them or forgive them part way. I mean do not let the dust of others cling to you in some form of unforgiveness. Forgive completely, and then move on. Do whatever it takes to experience the true forgiveness like your heavenly Father.
The Unlikable Aug.28
28 There will be people in this world you do not like, do not want to spend time with. You still need to love them by loving the potential the Father can give to each one. You need to give them the heavenly love for what they can become. This does not mean you will like them because “liking” stays based on similar interests, talents, or journeys together. If you really want to like someone, you have to spend the right kind of time with them.
Enemies Aug.29
29 In the higher reality, I have no enemies. Many may treat Me as an enemy, but I love all so that some will become My friends. You are to pray for and love your enemies so they too might become friends. If they do not respond, you keep praying for them whenever they pop up into your mind. I will do the rest.
The Unexpected Aug.30
30 I am often NOT where you think I am. I am often in the unexpected. There ARE many things you can trust to be as you think, but I am also a surprise. All around you the resurrection principle remains active. Something dies and something lives. This explains why I may surprise you like I did the disciples after I raised from the dead. The unexpected happens because the kingdom principles are not the same as the worldly ones. This becomes part of the reason you are to exercise your faith every chance you get.

Missed Faith
Missed Faith Aug.25
You may have occasions when your faith wavers, meaning you start to rely on worldly principles or resources to get you through. And, you may be able to draw upon certain resources, like money or a friendship to solve some difficulty. This may not be wrong in itself, but remember, it must be motivated by faith. Depend on Me to see you through any of your incidents of faithlessness. My faith can indeed move mountains. Live by faith and not by fear.

Disguised Evil
Disguised Evil Aug.24
Disguised evil stays planned. It takes the form of mild temptation, usually toward something that appears good, like justice or setting things straight. Then, it grows into a little world of obsession which you will think about all the time, causing you to miss My opportunities for you in the kingdom of God. Recognize these subterfuges and turn the results over to Me. For instance, if you cannot lace justice with mercy, then justice itself remains only human. The Holy Spirit cannot be present until the balance of mercy and right doing occur. To show true mercy may mean you pass on human justice by laying the issue at My feet.

Attraction
Attraction Aug.23
It has been said, “Whatever gets your attention, gets you.” Often, what gets your imagination gets your action. So, where your empathy, passion, and compassion go, you will follow. Believe on Me to balance a sound mind and heart.

Facts
Facts Aug.22
If aspects of your faith do not obey the facts of reality, are they untrue? Sometimes you need to believe with your heart and not your head. The reasoning of the heavenly dimension may confuse the earthly reality, but I will show you both.

Passion or Reason
Passion or Reason Aug.21
Many will not admit this, but there are those who believe that unchecked passion creates more spirituality and appeals to your personal intelligence; that the energy of such drama can move you into the correct path. But notice I said, “unchecked.” Passion does appeal, but if it only leads to strong emotional result, your intelligence and understanding are fooled. Strong emotion laced with reason can heal the heart and soul much more than emotion alone. Your heavenly Father’s love may seem unreasonable at times, but remember, His love originates from a realm you do not fully comprehend yet. Faith and obedience in Me are the combinations for harmony of emotion and reason.

A Mystery
A Mystery Aug.19
God the Father did not prefer that I go to the cross, but He allowed the sacrifice in order to reach the higher goal of salvation for humanity. This displays no contradiction to the Holy Trinity who can perform as One without going against eternal harmony. You, on the other hand, cannot think in threes without some contradiction. Have more faith in mystery. There are even other vast dimensions you cannot comprehend now. Eternity will reveal all.

The Best
The Best Aug.18
It is in your best interest to trust your designer. Stone by stone, brick by brick, experience by experience I am putting the pieces together for the kingdom. Whatever stays true, whatever shows loyalty, whatever preserves right doing, whatever becomes pure of heart, whatever embraces beauty, whatever brings integrity; whatever presents itself as praiseworthy in My name, think always on these things.

Wait
Wait Aug.17
It takes time for a piece of rough earth to become a precious, cut stone. Wait long enough and you will reach your potential. But for now, keep struggling with your growth. The sand in the clam’s shell finally does become a pearl of great price.

The Void
The Void Aug.16
When your heart constantly hungers for something more, when you yearn for some release, when you wish so much could be different……you are hungry for love. My kind of love excels as the only remedy to fill the void.

Service
Service Aug.15
I did not promise every act of service would be pleasant. A planted seed does not experience pleasure. The fruit becomes the pleasure. You are to behave like the seed planted. You are to demonstrate the life. You are not to simply hold onto the fruit. You must not hoard the results but share completely all that remains yours to give.

Firm Foundation Aug.14
I am He who was sent from above. Look at My words and look at My works and you will see no confusion, no contradiction. All things come together in Me. In Me you can fully trust I will do what stays best for you though you do not see it now. I am Jesus, the name above every name, but I gave you the Eternal’s name: Father.

Mystery
Mystery Aug.12
Mystery does not mean some reluctant lack of knowledge or understanding. Mystery simply means much more knowledge exists than you can understand at the moment. Don’t take the sting out of certain scriptures you may not understand. Embrace the mystery by faith.

Falsehood of Sin
Falsehood of Sin Aug.11
If sinful thoughts and actions were the right paths for you, they would feed you. But if you follow their sham, they will bleed you.

Because you know Me, you live not so much in time, but in eternity. Choose peace and restful attitude even in the business of the day.

Technology
Technology Aug.8
The whole thrust of technology, whether cell phones, computers, medicine pills, cloning, electronic gadgets that claim to define life, are all simply forms to IMPLY you can know life as predictable. The life I give has always mystery in it. When you think you have named a thing and defined it fully, you approach trouble because you have taken the potential of mystery and unknowing out of life and that is the true energy that keeps you searching, learning and pursuing your own growth. You will never know enough about any one thing until you reach heaven’s gate.

Grief; Reminder; Work
Grief Aug.5
To you who seek Me, I the Lord, am good to those who wait on My will. Be as silent as you can, listen and wait with your decisions. I will not reject forever. If I seem to cause grief, then I will also respond with compassion according to My abundant loving-kindness. For this reason, I do not afflict willingly. The grieve of My sons and daughters are but for a season to balance justice and mercy.
A Reminder Aug.6
Throughout the day, repeat My name. Say the word. Sing the word. Jesus. Jesus. Jesus. Prayer that turns to praise honors Me.
Work Aug.7
Solomon, in all his glory, found that the best thing a person can become for life expresses itself as happy in work. Work involves what life has to offer and how you accept it.

Prayer Attitude
Prayer Aug.4
Prayer’s definition cannot remain some leisure-time activity. It is life. It accomplishes more than a mode, type, or style. Prayer should be so much a part of you that it wells up from within when you least expect it. Make conscious effort to pray, “Father, help me to know what you have purposed in the Christ and to love that more than I love my own life”. Do this three times a day and soon, prayer will become deeply buried and imprinted on your soul. It will rise again when needed.

Patience
Patience Aug 3
Do you know why patience becomes so important? Think about an example. Suppose when you die, you receive a new name, a new song, and a new crown designed to show all in heaven your experiences in story form. You then get to tell every angel, every individual-being your story throughout eternity, every detail about serving and honoring Christ. You will know this in the right perspective then. So, it would take an eternity of patience to share with every being, especially as you listened to others who shared as well.

Money
Money Aug 2
When you use your money just for things, you apply it to items that have an end and die. The money and resource become temporary and die. But when you move your money and resources toward the Father’s kingdom, toward helping others in My name, the money and resources come alive. The Holy Spirit can use money to breathe life into others you don’t even know about.

The Material World
The Material world Aug.1
In all reality, you cannot live beyond the material nor can you in good conscience live for the material. You must learn to live through the material for something beyond. Behind every material result vibrates a spiritual idea. Think long upon this.
