June 1 – Companionship
The way of the soul’s transformation is the Way of Divine Companionship.
Not so much the asking Me to make you this or that but the living with Me, thinking of Me, talking to Me – thus you grow like Me.
Love Me. Rest in Me.
Joy in Me.
I am my beloved’s, and my beloved is mine. Song of Solomon 6:3
June 2 – My Image
My Lord and my God, we praise Thee, we bless Thee, we worship Thee. Make us like Thee.
You are willing to drink of the cup that I drink of – the wine of sorrow and disappointment.
You are Mine and will grow both of you more and more like Me, your Master.
True it is today as it was in the days of Moses that no man can see My face and live.
The self, the original Man, shrivels up and dies, and upon the soul becomes stamped My image.
For whom he did foreknow,
he also did predestinate to be conformed
to the image of his Son. Romans 8:29
June 3 – Eject Sin With Love
Our Lord, we love and praise Thee. Thou art our Joy and our exceeding great reward.
Remember that Love is the power which transforms the world. Love not only of Me, Love not only of the few dear to you, but Love of all – of the publicans, the sinners, the harlots – Love.
It is the only weapon with which sin can be driven out. Drive sin out with Love.
Drive fear and depression and despair and a sense of failure out with Praise.
Praise is the acknowledgement of that which I have sent you. Few men would send a further gift of payment until they had received the acknowledgement of the previous one. So praise, acknowledging, as it does, that My gift and blessing leaves the way open for Me to shower yet more on the thankful heart.
Learn as a child learns to say “Thank you” as a courtesy, with perhaps no real sense of gratitude at all. Do this until at last a thrill of joy, of thankful awe, will accompany the spoken word.
Do not expect for yourselves feeling that you know others have or have had. Just go on along the arid way of obedience, and persistence will be rewarded as you come to the Spring, the glad Spring of Water.
Oh, joy in Me, and, as far as in you lies, shed Joy on all around.
Owe no man any thing, but to love one another;
for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law. Romans 13:8
June 4 – Divine Patience
Lord, make us like Thee. Mold us into Thy likeness.
Molding, My children, means cutting and chiseling. It means sacrifice of the personal to conform to type. It is not only My work but yours.
The swift recognition of the selfish in your desires and motives, actions, words and thoughts, and the instant appeal to Me for help to eradicate that.
It is a work that requires cooperation – Mine and yours. It is a work that brings much sense of failure and discouragement too, at times, because, as the work proceeds, you see more and more clearly all that yet remains to be done.
Shortcomings you had hardly recognized or at least for which you had had no sense of sorrow, now cause you trouble and dismay.
Courage. That is in itself a sign of progress.
Patience, not only with others, but each of you, with herself
As you see the slow progress upward made by you, in spite of your longing and struggle, you will gain a divine patience with others whose imperfections trouble you.
So on and up. Forward. Patience – Perseverance – Struggle. Remember that I am beside you, your Captain and your Helper. So tender, so patient, so strong.
Yes, we cooperate and as I share your troubles, failures, difficulties, heartaches, so as My friends, you share My patience, and My strength – beloved.
And the vessel that he made of clay was marred in
the hand of the potter, so he made it again another
vessel, as seemed good to the potter to make it.
Jeremiah 18:4
June 5 – That Tender Voice
Very quietly I speak. Listen to My Voice. Never heed the voices of the world – only the tender Divine Voice.
Listen and you will never be disappointed. Listen, and anxious thoughts and tired nerves will become rested. The Voice Divine – not so much in strength as in tenderness. Not so much in power as in restfulness.
But the tenderness and the restfulness will heal your scars and make you strong, and then it must be your task to let all your power be My Power. Man’s little power is as clay beside the granite rock of My Power.
You are My great care. Never feel at the mercy of the world. My angels guard you day and night and nothing can harm you. You would indeed thank Me if you knew the darts of fret and evil they turn from you.
Thank Me indeed for dangers unknown – unseen- but averted.
And after the wind an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake;
And after the earthquake a fire; but the Lord was not in the fire;
and after the fire a still small voice. 1 Kings 19:11, 12
June 6 -How Men See Me
I came to help a world. And according to the varying needs of each so does each man see Me.
It is not necessary that you see Me as others see Me – the world, even the Church, My disciples, My followers, but it is necessary that you see Me, each of you, as supplying all that youpersonally need.
The weak need My Strength. The strong need My Tenderness. The tempted and fallen need My Salvation. The righteous need My Pity for sinners. The lonely need a Friend. The fighters need a Leader.
No man could be all these to men – only a God could be. In each of these relations of Mine to man you must see the God. The God-Friend, the God-Leader, the God-Savior.
But my God shall supply all your need according to
his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:29
June 7 – True Beauty
Incline your ear, and come unto me; hear and your soul shall live.
– Isaiah 55:3
Not only live but grow in grace and power and beauty – the true Beauty, the Beauty of Holiness.
Reach ever forward after the things of My Kingdom.
In the animal world the very form of an animal alters to enable it to reach that upon which it delights to feed.
So reaching after the treasures of My Kingdom your whole nature becomes changed; so that you can best enjoy and receive the wonders of that Kingdom.
Dwell on these truths.
And let the beauty of the Lord our God be upon us;
and establish thou the work of our hands upon us
Psalm 90:17
June 8 – The Only Way
Down through the ages My Power alone has kept millions of souls brave and true and strong, who else would have fallen by the way.
The Faith has been kept alive and handed down, not by the dwellers in ease, but by those who struggled and suffered and died for Me.
This life is not for the body, it is for the soul, and man too often chooses the way of life that best suits the body. Not the way that best suits the soul. And I permit only what best suits the soul.
Accept this and a wonderful molding is the result, reject it and My Purpose is frustrated, your best prayer unanswered, progress (Spiritual progress) delayed, trouble and grief stored up.
Try, each of you, to picture your soul as a third being trained by us – by you, and Me – and then you will share, and rejoice in sharing, in the discipline and training.
Stand apart from your soul with Me and welcome training – rejoice at progress.
And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly;
and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body
be preserved blameless unto the coming of
your Lord Jesus Christ. 1 Thessalonians 5:23
June 9 – An Obstacle Race
Rise above your fears and fancies into My Joy. It will suffice to heal all your sores and wounds. Forget all sense of failure and shortcomings, all the painful jolts and jars, and trust Me, love Me, call upon Me.
Your discipleship is an obstacle race. “So run that ye may obtain.” Obtain not only your hearts’ desires, but obtain Me – your souls’ Joy and Haven.
What would you think of the runner who threw himself on the ground in despondency at his first hurdle?
Over, and on and up. I am your Leader and your goal.
But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection;
lest that by any means, when I have preached to others,
I myself should be a castaway. 1 Corinthians 9:27
June 10 -The Day of Trouble
Offer unto Me the sacrifice of thanksgiving and pay your vows to the Most High,
and then call upon Me in the day of trouble and I will deliver you.
To praise and thank and steadily fulfill your promises (vows) to Me are then, as it were, the placing of coin in My Bank, upon which, in your time of need, you can draw with confidence and certainty. Remember that.
The world wonders when it sees the man who can so unexpectedly draw large and unsuspected sums from his bank for his own need, that of a friend, or for some charity.
But what the world has not seen are the countless small sums paid into that bank, earned by faithful work in many ways.
And so in My Kingdom. The world sees the man of faith make a sudden demand upon Me, upon My stores, and lo! that demand is met.
So with you, My children. “Offer to God the sacrifice of Thanksgiving and pay your vows to the Most High and call upon Me in the day of trouble and I will deliver you.”
This is a promise for the seemingly dull days of little happenings, and a cheer for you, My children. When you seem not able to do big things you can be storing your little acts and words of faithfulness in My Great Storehouse, ready for the day of your big demand.
By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise
to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips
giving thanks to his name. Hebrews 13:15
June 11 – My Mark!
O Lord, we thank Thee for Thy great gift of Peace.
That is the Peace, that only I can give in the midst of a restless world and surrounded by trouble and difficulty. To know that Peace is to have received the stamp of the Kingdom – the mark of the Lord Jesus Christ. My Mark.
When you have learned that Peace you are fit to judge of true values, the values of the Kingdom, and the values of all the world has to offer.
That Peace is loving faith at rest.
These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace.
In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer;
I have overcome the world. John 16:33
June 12 – House On A Rock
Be watchful to hear My Voice and instantly to obey. Obedience is your great sign of faith. “Why call ye Me Lord, Lord and do not the things that I say” was My word when on earth to the many who followed and heard, but did not do.
I likened the man who heard and did not do to the man who built his house on the sand. In times of storm and trouble he is overthrown, his house falls.
I likened the man who obeyed Me implicitly to the man who built his house upon a rock. In times of storm he is steadfast, immovable.
Do not feel that by this I mean only the keeping of My Commandments, even the living My Sermon on the Mount. I mean more than that to those who know Me intimately. I mean the following, in all, the Inner Guiding that I give, the little injunctions I speak to each individual soul, the wish I express – and desire to have carried out.
The secure, steadfast, immovable life of My disciples, the Rock Home, is not built at a wish, in a moment, but is laid, stone by stone, foundations, walls, roof, by the acts of obedience, the daily following out of My wishes, the loving doing of My will.
He that heareth these sayings of Mine and doeth them is like unto a man who built his house upon a rock, and the rain descended and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat upon that house and it fell not, for it was founded upon a Rock.
And it is in that Rock-Home, manmade but divinely inspired – the House of Obedience – the truest expression of a disciple’s adoration and worship – it is there I come to dwell with My loved one.
Am I not giving you work, hope? Work for the gray days? Just little plain bricks of duties done and My Wishes carried out. All strengthening you and making of your character that steadfast, immovable Christian Character of which My servant Paul spoke and which he urged his followers to have.
Therefore, now amend your ways and your doings,
and obey the voice of the Lord your God. Jeremiah 26:13
June 13 – God-Inspired
You have entered now upon a mountain climb. Steep steps lead upward, but your power to help others will be truly marvelous.
Not alone will you arise. All towards whom you now send loving, pitying thoughts will be helped upward by you.
Looking to Me all your thoughts are God-inspired. Act on them and you will be led on. They are not your own impulses but the movement of My Spirit and, obeyed, will bring the answer to your prayers.
Love and Trust. Let no unkind thoughts of any dwell in your hearts, then I can act with all My Spirit-power, with nothing to hinder.
I will lift up mine eyes until the hills,
from whence cometh my help. Psalm 121:1
June 14 – Face Today With Me
Our Lord and our God. Make us all Thou wouldst have us.
It is not circumstances that need altering first, but yourselves, and then the conditions will naturally alter. Spare no effort to become all I would have you. Follow every leading. I am your only Guide.
Endeavor to put from you every thought of trouble. Take each day, and with no backward look, face the day’s problem with Me, and seek My Help and guidance as to what you can do.
Never look back and never leave until the morrow that on which you can get My Guidance for today.
Lead me in thy truth, and teach me; for thou art the
God of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day. Psalm 25:5
June 15 – Glory, Glory Dawneth
I am planning for you. Wonderful are My Ways beyond your knowledge.
Oh! realize My Bounty and My Goodness more and more. The wonder of being led by Me! The beauty of a guided life!
These will enter your consciousness more and more, and bring you ever more and more Joy.
You are very nearly at the point when you shall ask what you will and it shall be done unto you.
You have entered upon a wonderful era – your lives are planned and blessed by Me as never before.
You are overcoming. You are counting all things but loss if you can win Me. And the promises to him that overcometh are truly wonderful, and will always be fulfilled.
When he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into
all truth … he will show you things to come. John 16:13
Now to Him who is able to keep you from falling, and to make you stand in the presence of His glory blameless with great joy, to the only God our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion and authority, before all time and now and forever. Amen.
Jude 1:24-25
June 16 – Seek Me Early
Walk in My Way and trust Me. No evil can touch you. I am yours as truly as you are Mine. Rest in that truth.
Rest, that is, cease all struggle. Gain a calm, strong confidence in that certainty. Do not only rest in Me when the world’s struggles prove too much and too many for you to bear or face alone. Rest in Me when you need perfect understanding, when you need the consciousness of tender, loving friendship and intercourse.
The world, my poor world, flies to Me when its difficulties are too great to be surmounted any other way, forgetting, or never realizing, that if, with the same eagerness, those hearts sought Me merely for companionship and loving intercourse, many of the difficulties would not arise.
The circumstances, the life, the character would be so altered – so purified, that those same difficulties would not exist.
Seek Me early, that is the way to find Me. Early, before I get crowded out by life’s troubles, and difficulties and pleasures.
But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely,
and shall be quiet from fear of evil. Proverbs 1:33
June 17 – Dear Name
“Jesus.” Say My Name often. It was in My Name Peter bade the lame man walk. “In the Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth arise and walk.”
“Jesus.” The very sounding of My Name, in Love and tenderness, drives away all evil. It is the word before which all the hosts of evil flee.
“Jesus.” My Name is the call for a life-line to rescue you from temptation.
“Jesus.” The Name banishes loneliness – dispels gloom.
“Jesus.” Summons help to conquer your faults.
I will set you on high because you have known My Name.
Yes! My Name – “Jesus.” Use it more. Use it tenderly. Use it prayerfully. Use it powerfully.
And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name
Jesus; for he shall save his people form their sins. Matthew 1:21
June 18 – Wait
The world has always seen service for Me to be activity. Only those near to Me have seen that a life apart, of prayer, may, and does so often, accomplish more than all the service man can offer Me.
If man lived apart with Me and only went out to serve at My direct command, My spirit could operate more and accomplish truly mighty things.
And it came to pass, that, as he was praying in a certain
place … his disciples said unto him,
Lord, teach us to pray. Luke 11:1
June 19 – The Success You Covet
Follow the path of obedience. It leads to the Throne of God. Your treasure, be it success necessary on the material plane, which will further the work of My Kingdom, or the hidden spiritual wonders revealed by Me to those only who diligently seek, this treasure lies at the end of the track.
From one point (a promise of Mine or a Command) to the next, you have to follow, till finally you reach the success you covet.
All your work for the moment is in the material plane and the spiritual is only to help the material. When your material goal is reached then the material will serve only to attain the spiritual.
For your obedience is come abroad unto all men. Romans 16:19
June 20 – Miracles Again
Wait to hear My Will and then obey. At all costs obey.
Do not fear. I am a wall of protection around you. See this. To see this with the eyes of faith is to cause it to manifest in the material.
Remember I long to work miracles, as when on earth I wrought them, but the same condition holds good. I cannot do many mighty works because of unbelief.
So only in response to your belief can I do miracle-works now.
There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.
Psalm 91:10
June 21 – See As I See
O Lord, we praise Thee. Bless us, we beseech Thee.
I bless you. I promise you release. Joy in Me. You shall be shielded from the storm.
Wonders have unfolded. Just to come before Me and stay for a while in My Presence – this must strengthen and help you.
Learn of Me. The only way for so many in My poor world to keep calm, sane, is to have the mind which is in Jesus Christ. The mind which is in Me.
That mind you can never obtain by reasoning, or by reading, but only by living with Me and sharing My Life.
Think much of Me. Speak much of Me. See others as I see them. Let nothing less satisfy you.
Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly
in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke
is easy, and my burden is light. Matthew 11:29-30
June 22 – Your Red Sea
Go forward fearlessly.
Do not think about the Red Sea that lies ahead.
Be very sure that when you come to it the waters will part and you will pass over to your promised land of freedom.
The wicked flee when no man pursueth; but the righteous are bold as a lion.
Proverbs 28:1
June 23 – Cling To Me
Cling to Me until the life from Me – the Divine Life, by that very contact, flows into your being and revives your fainting spirit.
Become recharged. When weary do as I did on earth – Sit by the well. Rest.
Rest and gain power and strength and the work too will come to you as it came to Me.
Rest till every care-thought has gone, and then let the Tide of Love and Joy flow in.
And he said unto them, Come ye yourselves apart into a
desert place, and rest a while. Mark 6:31
June 24 – When Guidance Tarries
As I prompt you – act. When you have no clear guidance, then go forward quietly along the path of duty I have set before you.
No fear, no panic, quietly doing your daily duty.
This attitude of faith will receive its reward, as surely as the acting upon My direct Guidance.
Rejoice in the sense of security that is yours.
Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel, and
afterward receive me to glory. Psalm 73:24
June 25 – God’s Friendship
I am your Friend. The Companion of the dreary ways of life.
I rob those ways of their grayness and horror. I transform them. Even in earthly friendships the common way, the weary way, the steep way, may seem a way to Heaven if the presence of some loved human friend transforms them.
Let the Sabbath calm enwrap your minds and hearts. Let it be a rest from the worry and fret of life, a halt by the busy highway when you seek some rest and shade.
Have you ever realized the wonder of the friendship you can have with Me? Have you ever thought what it means to be able to summon at will the God of the World?
Even with a privileged visitor to an earthly king there is the palace antechamber, and the time must be at the pleasure of the king.
But to My subjects I have given the right to enter My Presence when they will, nay more they can summon Me to bedside, to workshop – and I am there.
Could Divine Love do more? Your nearest earthly friend cannot be with you on the instant. Your Lord, your Master, your Divine Friend — Yes
When men seek to worship Me they think of the worlds I rule over, of creation, of mighty law and order – and then they feel the awe that precedes worship.
To you I say feel awe, feel the desire to worship Me in wondering amazement. But think too of the mighty, tender, humble condescension of My Friendship. Think of Me in the little things of everyday life.
For who hath despised the day of small things? Zechariah 4:10
June 26 – Do Not Rush
Learn in the little daily things of life to delay action until you get My Guidance …
So many lives lack poise. For in the momentous decisions and the big things of life, they ask My help but into the small things they rush alone.
By what you do in the small things those around you are most often antagonized or attracted.
They soon forget his works; they waited not for his counsel. Psalm 106:13
June 27 – No Self-Reproach
The Eternal Arms shelter you. “Underneath are the Everlasting Arms.” This promise is to those who rise above the earth-life and seek to soar higher, to the Kingdom of Heaven.
You must not feel the burden of your failure. Go on in faith, the clouds will clear, and the way will lighten – the path becomes less stony with every step you take. So run that you may obtain. A rigid doing of the simple duties, and success will crown your efforts.
I had no words of reproach for any I healed. The man was whole and free who had wrecked his physical being by sin – whose palsy I healed.
The woman at the well was not overwhelmed by My “Thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband.”
The woman taken in adultery was told “Neither do I condemn thee: go and sin no more.” She was not told to bear the burden of the consciousness of her sin …
Remember now abideth these three, Faith, Hope, and Charity. Faith is your attitude towards Me. Charity your attitude towards your fellow man, but as necessary, is Hope, which is confidence in yourself to succeed.
There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus,
who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. Romans 8:1
June 28 – Table of Delights
It has not been in vain this training and teaching time. The time of suppression, repression, depression is changed now into a time of glorious expression.
Life is flooded through and through with Joy and Gladness. Indeed I have prepared a table of delights, a feast of all good things for you.
Indeed your cup runneth over and you can feel from the very depth of your heart. “Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.”
All the days of the afflicted are evil: but he that is of a
merry heart hath a continual feast. Proverbs 15:15
June 29 – My Will – Your Joy
Our Lord and our God. Lead us, we beseech Thee. Lead us and keep us.
You can never go beyond My Love and Care. Remember that. No evil can befall you. Circumstances I bless and use must be the right ones for you.
But I know always that the first step is to lay your will before Me as an offering, ready that I shall do what is best, sure that, if you trust Me, what I do for you will be best.
Your second step is to be sure, and to tell me so, that I am Powerful enough to do everything (“The hearts of kings are in My rule and governance”), that no miracle is impossible with me (“With God all things are possible” and “I and My Father are one”).
Then leave all with Me. Glad to leave all your affairs in a Master Hand. Sure of safety and protection. Remember you cannot see the future. I can.
You could not bear it. So only little by little can I reveal it to you. Accept My Will and it will bring you joy.
The Lord is thy keeper; the Lord is thy shade upon thy right hand. Psalm 121:5
June 30 – Understand Them
Take joy wherever you go. You have been much blessed. You are being much blessed.
Such stores of blessing are awaiting you in the months and years that lie ahead. Pass every blessing on.
Love can and does go round the world, passed on the God-currents from one to the other.
Shed a little sunshine in the heart of one, that one is cheered to pass it on, and so My vitalizing joy-giving message goes.
Be transmitters these days. Love and Laugh. Cheer all. Love all.
Always seek to understand others and you cannot fail to love them.
See Me in the dull, the uninteresting, the sinful, the critical, the miserable.
See Me in the laughter of children and the sweetness of old age, in the courage of youth and the patience of man and womanhood.
The kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure … the which when a man
hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth
all that he hath, and buyeth that field. Matthew 13:44
Now to Him who is able to keep you from falling, and to make you stand in the presence of His glory blameless with great joy, to the only God our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion and authority, before all time and now and forever. Amen.
