Will Power
Most of us
have experienced the power of a strong will. Is a strong will to our advantage, or can it
work against us?

"Softness
of heart is essential if My Spirit is to move deeply within you. Because the hard hearted
refuse to soften, the movement of My Spirit is kept at bay. I tell you that all of you
have not yet learned to soften your hearts sufficiently to allow Me free access, to
reinforce your faith, build up your hope and bring your love to perfection.
It
is your will that makes you rigid and although I have given
you a freewill I do expect you to respond to the lovingness
that is Mine, the patience that is Mine, the faithfulness
that is Mine. Once you resolve to soften your heart and
My Spirit moves freely into that heart, great will be your
accomplishments. For your faith will leap, your hope will
be outstanding and your love will be forever. Evil will
be astonished and the gentle will rejoice and your presence
in any situation will be welcome. Come then and relax your
will into Mine."

A will
relaxed by a spirit confirmed and a balance achieved.

Relaxation
|
"Spiritual
relaxation is that which I want you to consider carefully and deeply. By spiritual
relaxation I mean that your faith, hope and love are such that your behaviour in any
situation is balanced and made sensitive to that situation.
If you
try to climb too high and too fast and above the level I
desire for you at any particular time you will not be spiritually
relaxed but spiritually stressed. You must accept that you
are human as well as spiritual and that the co-ordination
of this dual nature is important. Be at peace and remain
calm so that your growth can be sure and discerning in it's
advancement."

"Keep
your feet on the ground and your mind on Me."
