The Beloved One. “Confronting your imperfections can be very disturbing and also very healing, because it becomes a reason to dig beeper into yourself, and finding My Will to guide you into better and more perfect ways.
“It is during the low points in the human spirit and emotions that the greatest growing spurt may come about. It represents a letting go of selfishness and a ‘tapping into the vat’ of humility.
“At times humans need to be confronted by their smallness, so they can take heart that better things may be on the way. Having humility is to know your humanness. It is the dawning realization of the majesty of God, for a humbling experience is in actuality a growth spurt, the scaffolding of the building of character. Sooner or later, all humans will attain their place in the ‘pecking order’ of life.
“Those who think themselves to be high and above everyone else, shall be brought low, whilst those who deem themselves to be unworthy and low, shall be elevated as sons and daughters of God.
“In life’s journey everyone goes through painful adjustment of these lessons. Those who ‘drink deeply’ of those lessons and learn from them, are being guided into the higher way of life. Others who are not so deeply affected and ‘scarred’ in doing battle with their selves in overcoming their lower nature, will eventually learn. The realization will dawn upon them that they, too, are to humble themselves before God.
“It is forever true, that those who deem themselves to be already perfect will in later times need to do a lot of remedial work. Others who do a lot of correcting in their selves in this life, in subduing their baser impulses, and in trying to listen to the will of God within them, are ahead of others on the road to perfection.
“It is not always easy, but success is always assured when inner prompts and guidelines are followed. Truly, why spurn the Perfect Guide within?
“Take time to listen, for it is the surest way to advance.”
