Generosity
/Dearest Ones,
I have found you faithful under all circumstances, and able to endure trials without breaking down in your love for me and trust in me. For this I am grateful, because many who fall away do so because of trials of various kinds and blame me for the trials and feel that I have forsaken them and have not kept my promises, and therefore that I cannot be trusted. Anyone who does this is because their love for me has been self-serving, wanting to have my highest blessings without having unselfish devotion to me and trust in me in spite of trials. These will not receive the reward of the righteous, who know my character and my ways and trust and love me through everything that I permit to come to them, knowing that all things work together for good to those who love me and keep my commandments. All of you are certainly among that number, and you will not fail to receive your reward, both here and in the life to come.
The subject today is generosity. I am loathe to talk about this subject, because all of you are so eager to share of your time, energies, and money wherever it is needed, and I don't want you to feel guilty about needing to do more than you are already doing. But I want to talk about generosity from a different perspective than you normally think of. The word means a heart of giving love that is always open to the felt needs of every person in their environment, and feels a desire to meet that need in the best way available to you. Sometimes the need can be met by your own resources, sometimes it is wiser to be a go-between and guide them to a source of help that you are unable to give. And of course, always bring them to me to receive help from the Source. This takes a lot of wisdom through prayer and consulting me to see how I am leading you to help in the cases that come into your life. You are my servants and I care for your health and daily needs just as I do for others, and I want you to consult me about how to use your time and resources for every person who comes to you for help. I will guide you in just the way it should go, and you will be a blessing to them and in return, receive a blessing from me.
Now go about your day and sense my love for you and my Holy Spirit's guidance in everything you do and say. Let your words be tinged with gold and silver from the Sanctuary in heaven, both to the person in need and also when you are speaking about them to others. Thus you will preserve the unity of spirit that is the bond of love that exists in heaven and should be reflected on earth by my people. With me at your side you cannot fail to bring heavenly joy and love and peace wherever you go, and spread it around to others, just as my disciples did when I was on earth. And the blessings are even greater now because it is the time of the latter rain and more light and peace and love is flowing from the courts of heaven upon all who will receive it and go forth and follow me to the end.
So do not be afraid to be generous in your attitudes and associations with each other because I will not allow you to be used up if you always look to me for help, strength, and guidance. Together we will finish the work on earth, and usher in my kingdom of light and life and peace and joy and holiness, and never will there be any more wars or fighting, or anger, but only peace and love. And I promise, you will be there when I make up my jewels, and take you home to be with me forever.
In the meantime, walk with me moment by moment, and you cannot fail to please me. If you need anything, just ask me, for I am, as always, just a prayer away. Lovingly, Jesus.
