Living in the Presence of God (Vol I/Pt I - 65)

[Guest guest]

CHAPTER 65 A

child depends upon his mother, without a single question of doubt. This

dependency grows to be a "need", the "need", eventually depicting a

selfish attachment, and it is this relationship in which you expect all

that you give, that you recognize and accept as "love". How can love

such as this bring peace and bliss, when you, My dears, are in constant

fear of your needs being unfulfilled, when you live in constant worry

that you are not receiving the love you give, and when in every step

you lack confidence and doubt the love you think you have found? Yes!

You have merely developed momentary pleasure, and you have made this

minute of your life your desire to re-experience this past, once again,

in the future. You

think you have reached the limits of love - but love has no limits. You

have equated this temporary love to God's love, but God's love does not

measure with the balance of "give" and "take". His love of bliss lies

in fulfilling each of your needs, and it is only your smile of

gratitude that He will take. His peace lies in accepting your

discontented mind and taking back with Him your web of fearful

anxieties. His mission lies in giving Himself to you and in taking back

with Him your mask of pride that has inhibited you to be your "self",

until now. Learn, My dears, not to demand, but to accept that which is

given with sincere thankfulness - even if in the gift received, lies

deceit, harshness, and pain - accept all, with no resentment, and give

yourselves, fully, with the same love, same understanding and with an

unchanging gratitude to all who have helped you to dismiss the

difference. Those who presented to you their "weakness" must also be

thought of as God, for you were able to recognize and develop your

strength only through their handicaps.Your

disease of the "pain of pride" can be cured, today, by convincing the

mind that the downfall of pain lies in its acceptance of God in all.

You must rise above the hatred that pinches your heart and constricts

it to widen its arms to embrace all of God's forms. The tongue that

speaks only the language of "no" must learn only the one word that must

encompass its whole language - Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes to pleasure, and yes

to pain, - Yes to good, and yes to bad, - Yes to acceptance and yes to

rejection. It must be yes, at all times, for "yes" to all, is "yes" to

Me! God,

being the perfect one, accepts and lives within you and around you, at

all times, never saying "no" to His child of love. Learn to eat with

the poor, sleep with the worries of the rich, play with the good, and

serve the ones that are lost. Let each criticism be the change, and let

each praise be your strength to persevere. Love all, for your simple

need to be with Me and none other. Love all, without a single doubt,

for this doubt is only your strength that is failing to love with

perfection. And what is this perfection in love? It is love that

"gives" in 'silence', in the secret of sacrifice, in the joyful pain of

endurance, in persevering patience, and takes with it the bliss and the

strength of giving even more. Yes! That is love dressed in perfection -

love that is held in a heart of God!- Divine Messages received and recorded by Mrs Seema M Dewan(Copyright reserved by the Author) 'Sai Divine Inspirations' is now on
