There Must Be Balance In All Things And At
All Times
Life is a constant giving and receiving, a constant inhaling and exhaling of the Breath of Life. You could not spend your entire time inhaling without exhaling any more than you could spend your time giving without receiving. When life ceases to be a two-way thing it dries up and dies away. Every soul has to learn to live a life, and group living brings this out very clearly. No soul can live entirely for themselves, they have to learn to live for others and with others. There has to be a constant giving and receiving on all levels for perfect peace and harmony to be maintained. As each one finds their rightful place and pulls their weight, so everything gets done. It would no more do for a soul to sit in meditation all day, not lifting a finger to help with the practical side of group living, than to go on working without the balance of the deep inner life. There must be balance in all things and at all times.
Find That Inner Joy Of The Spirit And Accept It As A Gift From Me
What does the joy of the Spirit really mean to you? Do you wake up in the morning with a feeling of deep joy and gratitude within you? Do you open your eyes and see before you all My blessings and recognise them for what they are and give eternal thanks for them? Can you just sit and Be and feel that intense joy welling up in you like a spring of crystal water, a joy so deep within you that no one and nothing could possibly interfere with it or mar it? The joy of the Spirit does not spring from without but from deep within and is then expressed without by every minute thing, which your eyes rest upon. When you lose that joy of the Spirit it is difficult to see beauty and goodness in anything. It is all there, all around you, but your eyes and your senses become dimmed and dull and everything appears to have a grey mist around it so nothing is clear. Your heart is heavy and you are blind and deaf to all the wonders all around you. You are so concerned about yourself you miss the really vital things in life. How can you rectify this state of being? It can be done very quickly if you really want to change it. Go away by yourself and be very, very still and allow My peace to infill you. You will find it happening in that stillness. All the grey mist will disappear, the atmosphere within and around you will clear and once again you will find that inner joy of the Spirit and accept it as a gift from Me.
