- None is too Small
In deep quietude, Oh
Thou Spirit of Power – in deep quietude may Thy Power be made
manifest unto the watching and waiting, the searching souls of Thy
children; may the deep quietness of the inward heart come unto them
with understanding and realisation that Thou art not distant from
Thy children, Thou art not in some inaccessible place of glory but
nearer to them than the skin of the body, closer art Thou to them
than the breath within the lungs for Thou art indeed the Spirit of
Power. It is Thy Love which stirs within the inner deeps and causes
them to try to discover the meaning of their life and the meaning of
their relationship with Thee. It is within the deep inwardness of
silence, in the moments of quietude that there comes unto Thy
children the realisation that in quietness they are indeed with
Thee.
In the
searching of the soul, they think Thou hast come unto them because
they are quiet; in the seeking and searching for truth they think
they have risen to discover Thee. They know not that Thou art ever
present, that Thy love is within and all about them waiting only for
the quietness of realisation and growth into unity, the knowledge
that Thou art there at any moment and in any place. It needs but
the quietude of certainty for them to come into this close unity of
realisation that Thou art indeed their God, inherent in all things,
fulfilling Thyself in all, and pervading all places which appear to
be empty with the mightiness and majesty of Thy Holy Light and
Heavenly Love.
We bring
unto these who wait in the quietude of thought this understanding
that even now, in this instant of time, they are in Thy presence!
Thou art with them! Thy Spirit is pervading them through and
through. Thy love is stirring within the inward heart because Thou
art their God and they are indeed Thy children, Thou art the Master
Creator of all.
In this
understanding and with this peace and holiness of Presence, we sign
and seal each one as they are here and send them forth with peace,
abundant peace, Thy peace, within the heart and mind and within the
inward places of the soul. For as they retain this sense of unity
may they know that wheresoever they go and whatsoever they do they
are with Thee and Thou art with them in the fullness of peace.
My beloved brothers and
sisters, we draw near to earth conditions and converse for a while
with you concerning the many things which come to your minds. In
our study of your thoughts and ways in the earthly experience, it
would seem that many of you are troubled because you feel you have
so little to offer unto the service of the Master Creator. Many of
you have a need for encouragement because you are afflicted by a
sense of inadequacy: you feel that you have striven so much, asked
so often and sought so fully to serve, and yet are empty, your words
are void and the power you seek comes not.
I would say
to you, beloved ones, You should remember the Law of the Great
Spirit of All, that when there is an emptiness, that emptiness must
be filled. When you feel that you are most inadequate, then often
the Great Spirit of All can use you in the fullness of power. It is
in your weakness that the strength of the Most High is sometimes
shown in unexpected measure; when you feel that your words are void
- it is then that the Great Spirit can come and wing your thoughts
with new wings of inspiration and power.
As we watch
your efforts to serve and your desires to heal each other, it
sometimes seems to us that your desire is too strong, it is of the
mortal mind; and sometimes your wishing to speak is also too much
of the mortal mind. When you let go of this - as often you do,
dropping your hands in weariness, drooping and saying: “I am of no
use” - in that moment of time does there not come to you a sense of
flooding inspiration, an inflowing of power? And you will stand and
marvel and say: “See what the spirit has done here when I myself
have done so little.”
Beloved
ones, we would say to you, The Will of the Great Master Creator in
all His creativeness throughout the universe is accomplished
silently, effortlessly, harmoniously, beautifully and lovingly. You
in the earthly experience seek for development and understanding:
but we would wish that you relax, relinquish yourself and feel for a
while the great strength of the Eternal Power unrolling in harmony
and beauty for ever - the power of your God is one which forever
goes on creating. Sometimes cease your striving, your restlessness
of effort and say: “I have done all I can do, now must I wait and
relax, and leave myself passive in the hands of the Greater Power
that would use me.” Then indeed you will find that you go forth
with a strength which is not your strength, fulfilling a plan which
is not always your plan, and healing with a healing which is not
altogether your healing: all is imparted to you and given through
your weakness.
As you
pause in the times of prayer, sometimes give thanks to the Master
Creator not only for your strength and achievements, but also for
your times of weakness and despondency; realise that these are but
part of the pattern. As you bless that which seems imperfect in
yourself, do you not bring it forth into the light that it may be
seen in a truer perspective and made whole in the power and beauty
of spirit?
There is
none so small and weak, none so imperfect that we in spirit cannot
find a use for them. We do not search for our mediums in the high
places amongst great names and influential peoples, we seek for them
where people are lowly of heart and where there has been weakness
that we may use. We choose our instruments out of the ways of
weakness and suffering, encourage them and bring them forth in
strength and majesty of spirit to accomplish our own desires.
We work in
this way because it is the law of spirit and the way of the Most
High One. In past seasons of earth’s history, when revelations were
to be given from spirit and prophets called unto their high
ministry, did the message come unto the leaders of tribes? Did the
message come unto the kings in their palaces? No: the message of
the Most High Spirit was given to the child who served within the
temple or the lonely outcast as he lived within the desert, it was
given to those who were indeed outcasts in that they were prisoners
in the care of foreign nations. The choosing of instruments and
finding of mediums was always the same – it was the one who was weak
who could be used. As your mind goes into the past, remember that
the Master Jesus chose Paul, that in his bodily weakness the law of
Spirit might be fulfilled and strength brought forth.
Think upon
these things, beloved ones: in your own way learn to understand
this message. As you enter into your times of prayer and
meditation, when you seat yourselves and struggle with restless
minds to prepare for the inflow of spiritual power – you will say
that you strive for spiritual unfoldment – think sometimes of these
words and make a letting go of your desires the basis of your
development. Let all the ambitions both of earth and spirit fall
away from you, empty yourselves for a while of all thought and
feeling: remember that where there is an emptiness, it must be
filled.
Seat
yourselves in the silence of meditation ere you enter into prayer
and spend a while in loosening away all spiritual ambition, all
striving and desiring, let it fall around your feet like a garment
which is no longer needed. Thus you prepare yourselves to receive
the garment of holiness, becoming like a cup from which is outpoured
all the wine of earth that the empty vessel may receive the crystal
waters of spiritual refreshment.
Remember
always that the empty vessel must be filled, the empty places must
be pervaded, for this is the law of spirit, it is the law of God the
Master Creator. Seek and meditate in this way, that out of your
meditating shall come the pure wine of spirit, the beautiful living
power which will heal and refresh your brothers and sisters wherever
you go. As you empty yourselves of sorrow and fear there may flow
into you the abundant joy – the overflowing joy of life which is the
life of spirit, the life of the Master Creator, the life of God
Himself.
With
thoughts woven in this fashion we send you forth to think upon these
things and to serve in the fullness of joy; not because you are
strong nor because you have learned to do great things, but joyful
that spirit is manifested in strength in your times of weakness and
out of your imperfections can be brought the beauty and power of
holiness.
With peace
and with light we bless you. May peace and light and power be here.
