How does God intervene?

Raise your eyes to the crest of the hill, keep them from the valley beneath, be certain that as you climb, renewed strength and additional help will be available every inch of the way, and God is there to hold you lest you fall.

God is God and Lord of All—never forget that!

Power, and to perfection—that is the ultimate end of all, and will be worked out down to the tiniest fraction, worked out because God is God and Lord of All, the Beginning and the End, the First and the Last.

Be brave. Search within for spiritual courage. Try and demonstrate Christ in your daily life—be thoughtful, be kind, and know that in so doing, the happiness you pass on to others will echo back to the soul within because there is unity with the spirit and the harmony, which is of God alone.

Oh, that I might be better! Just because there is in your heart and mind this spiritual longing, so God can lift you up—can establish you in security forever. 

Behind the darkest cloud is the sun of God's Love.

We are told in our Bible that no sparrow falls to the ground without the knowledge of its Creator (Matthew 10:29), but you are not told in the same definite way that not one bird or animal—or even the tiniest insect that suffers needlessly or necessarily is not soothed and comforted by God.

Be of good cheer! The days may seem long, irksome this and that, which comprises your daily life, but when sleep claims you, then free with a freedom entirely unimaginable by your physical mind, so you are drawn into that higher environment, which is your own.

The animal, as it dies in physical agony, is comforted by the Saviour. Let there be no misunderstanding on this subject. Every pang endured throughout creation is borne in three parts by God, and so it should not be an effort for you to understand that the tiniest animal killed in play—or intentionally by a larger one is soothed and comforted by Him Who is the King of Kings and the Lord of All.

Do you see how God intervenes?

Because the spirit within wishes to get nearer to that perfection, which He represents, because the choice is made, so the Father says—

Ah, but I have provided even though the choice be made that my child should have that for which the spirit craves.

Those who think they fail, those who are conscious of their lack of progress—this in the main is not a sign of lack, but of gain. 

Instantly, the thought or the feeling comes, instantly, self-reproach strikes the individual, as to the distance in spirituality between themselves and the Master who came to save, so in the birth of that consciousness, the spirit can take control.

When the body dies, at once, the soul will be faced with a great privilege, and at the same time, a responsibility most terrible in its import. 

The conditions into which every soul passes are those which they have built up around themselves by their thoughts, by their feelings, by their desires. 

So passing out of the body and its protection, the soul steps into that which can be described as its own place, built up, portion by portion, by the life—those many lives which have sped. According to those desires, which in reality express the self within, so according to that you limit yourself from contact with those others, who again by their efforts have built up conditions, which are more rarefied, purer than your own. Yet never think that you are divided by anything but your own free will.

Keep these points clear in your mind. 

Get away from everything else, but the desire—the desire within you to be strong and not weak, to be pure, to follow in the footsteps of all those noble souls who have gone on before, when free from the body, you will step into purity, into courage, with no hindrances, but those which can be worked out, and you will be able to say to the One who loves you best—

Use me in Thy service of love for mankind!

In the Land of Light, there are no walls, there are no hedges—all is open, free to everyone, yet the individual soul is held back by the consciousness of being out of harmony with those conditions, which are finer than its own. 

Nothing else divides, and yet pause again and consider what division could be stronger or greater. 

That which is your real self penetrates, it may be a step or two nearer into the holiness, which represents God, but before the strength can come to go farther, so that which is keyed to lower vibrations must be brought up, and that only by work and service. Although you yourself bar your entry into such holy conditions, yet those in these conditions find no difficulty at all in coming to you, mingling with you, companioning you.
