A Teacher named “The Beloved One.”
Contributing Receiver.
The Beloved One: “Persistence will bring to completion any job you willingly take upon
yourself. Let everything you do be for the highest good, for yourself, and for everyone around you. In this manner,
when looking back over your life as your years advance, you shall attain a great measure of satisfaction about a
life well lived.
“It is My desire to convey to you in these short lessons such guidelines as will help you achieve this. It
is only by the carrying out of daily duties well done that you will achieve a durability; a steadfastness in your
character, an indefinable but very present sturdiness, the building of a strong character one can depend upon in
hours of crisis and necessity.
“God’s kingdom has a great need of such sturdy workers; those quiet ones, who do not broadcast their good
works, but keep to their innermost selves what it is that they must do to advance themselves, to become steadfast
believers, thereby also building their trust and their faith.
“Those ones shall build themselves ‘wings of eagles, as they forge their flight to heaven with these faith
and trust wings’, to lift themselves high above the humdrum of life. Never mind how sordid may be their surroundings,
through persistence in coming within to Me for their daily nourishment, they will learn over time that I am the
antidote to depression, and to low self-esteem. I am always ready to hear them out, even as they learn to acquire
that measure of Stillness to listen to Me. And so, everything that holds them to the earth plane with all its worries
falls away, and so they will then truly feel My loving concern for them. They will feel enlivened to go forth and
face the world with a renewed vigor and strength.
“This road is not for the weak, or the ones who easily give up. No, at times this great price of inner peace
is, and with great difficulty, to be wrest from the deepest of the deep of existence. To some, born with a fortuitous,
greater concentration and focusing ability, this may be easier to achieve. But for those with a more mercurial mind—those
who are inclined to hop, skip and jump from one subject to another—this trait of persistence is harder to achieve,
and therefore more needful of being exercised.
“You, yourself, know very well, how difficult this road has been for you, to be able to sit still for long
enough, and to not have a shopping list of to-do-things in your head. And so, very gradually, you are learning to
leave your own thoughts on the ‘backburner’. This has not been an easy chore, but look at the rewards
you are reaping even now, rather then having to wait until the next level of existence, at the dissolution of mortal
flesh, as, sooner or later, everyone shall learn to converse with their inner Guide with improved consciousness.
“There is great merit in making up your mind to develop persistence and dedication in daily seeking Me in your
Stillness. It is the regularity of your turning up for your daily appointment, which finds Me more readily available
to you. You know that I am there waiting for you, but you honor Me greatly by waiting for Me. It shows Me that you
really think that I am worth it. And why should I not be worth it? I Am, because I Am your Partner, your co-Creator
in our life eternal, and the sooner you get to know Me better and trust Me more, the sooner we can begin to, with
your greater conscious awareness of Me, start molding you into the priceless being we, together, are to become.
“There will be no replication of us anywhere in the whole wide creation, which was formed, is being formed
now, and will be formed in all of the eternal future ages. This is the promise I am holding out to you, that at
any time you show a greater readiness therefore, we shall be on our way to become more then you would ever have
believed to be possible.”
