When We Cannot Attain to the Highest, We Must Practice the Humble Works
The Voice of Christ- MY CHILD, you cannot always continue in the more fervent desire of virtue, or remain in the higher stage of contemplation, but because of humanity’s sin you must sometimes descend to lower things and bear the burden of this corruptible life, albeit unwillingly and wearily. As long as you wear a mortal body you will suffer weariness and heaviness of heart. You ought, therefore, to bewail in the flesh the burden of the flesh which keeps you from giving yourself unceasingly to spiritual exercises and divine contemplation. In such condition, it is well for you to apply yourself to humble, outward works and to refresh yourself in good deeds, to await with unshaken confidence My heavenly visitation, patiently to bear your exile and dryness of mind until you are again visited by Me and freed of all anxieties. For I will cause you to forget your labors and to enjoy inward quiet. I will spread before you the open fields of the Scriptures, so that with an open heart you may begin to advance in the way of My commandments. And you will say: the sufferings of this time are not worthy to be compared with the future glory which shall be revealed to us.-BE STILL AND KNOW I AM GOD-AND I AM THE AUTHOR AND FINISHER OF OUR FAITH-AND I WILL SUPPLY ALL OF YOUR NEEDS-AND IF YOU DELIGHT YOURSELF IN ME-I WILL GIVE YOU THE DESIRES OF HEART-AND I WILL MAKE ALL YOUR PATHS STRAIGHT-AND YOU CAN TRUST ME TO DO IT JUST FOR YOU-I WONT LET YOU DOWN OR HURT YOU SAYS THE LORD-CAST ALL YOUR CARES UPON ME BECAUSE I CARE FOR YOU-AND I WILL RAISE YOU UP INTO A GREAT NATION WELL EVERYONE AROUND YOU WILL HAVE TO CALL YOU BLESSED!!!!!!- BE BLESS AGAPE EVERY1!!!!!!!!
