~ Joy in the freedom to give and receive LOVE

...​

Christ will come to you offering His consolation, if you prepare a fit dwelling for Him in your heart, whose beauty and glory, wherein He takes delight, are all from within. His visits with the inward man are frequent, His communion sweet and full of consolation, His peace great, and His intimacy wonderful indeed.​

Therefore, faithful soul, prepare your heart for this Bridegroom that He may come and dwell within you; He Himself says:"If any one love Me, he will keep My word, and My Father will love him, and We will come to him, and will make Our abode with him."​

Give place, then, to Christ, but deny entrance to all others, for when you have Christ you are rich and He is sufficient for you. He will provide for you. He will supply your every want, so that you need not trust in frail, changeable men. Christ remains forever, standing firmly with us to the end.​

Do not place much confidence in weak and mortal man, helpful and friendly though he be; and do not grieve too much if he sometimes opposes and contradicts you. Those who are with us today may be against us tomorrow, and vice versa, for men change with the wind. Place all your trust in God; let Him be your fear and your love. He will answer for you; He will do what is best for you.​

You have here no lasting home.You are a stranger and a pilgrim wherever you may be, and you shall have no rest until you are wholly united with Christ.​
