October 30th
The
Spirit of the Lord is upon
me because the Lord has anointed
me to comfort all that mourn,
to give them beauty for ashes,
the oil of joy for mourning,
the garment of praise for
the spirit of heaviness……
Isaiah
61:
Joy is at the heart of
the universe. To proclaim
this truth and to make it
possible for the children
of the Father to know, experience
and live in the light of
this inalienable truth I
lived on earth , died and
rose again. And such joy
is not destroyed by deprivation,
suffering , or even death,
but rather enhanced by it
when it is received at My
hands.
Even the deepest and most
confounding spirit of heaviness
can be transfigured in and
through My saving love :
such is the loving purpose
of the Father, and I am
in anguish until such is
perfected in each and every
one of the earth's inhabitants
of all times.
And in the initiating and
the perfecting I call upon
My faithful, committed children
in all faiths and all ages,
both here and in the progressive
state, to identify with
the Father's purpose through
My saving love. So shall
all who seek, however dimly
and falteringly, find the
fullness of joy in Our Nearer
Presence in time and eternity.
So I give you and all who
travel in the light of this
knowledge and commitment
the glorious garment of
praise and thanksgiving.
Take it and rejoice in it
today and always.
