I am here, Samuel.
I come to write you that I am with you in love and hope for your
present blessing and happiness. I know that the worries of life
prevent you from realizing the influence of this Great Love which
is surrounding you and which is ready and waiting to fill your soul
to its fullness. But if you will pray more to the Father and exercise
your faith, you will find that your worries will lessen, and peace
will come to you in such abundance and beauty that you will feel
like a new man.
As John said, with this
faith, Love will flow into your soul, and you will realize to some
extent the joys of our celestial conditions; for the Love that may
be yours is the same Love, in its nature, that we possess, and that
has made angels of us all, and inhabitants of the Father's Kingdom.
Only believe, and you will realize how willing this Love is to take
possession of your soul, and make you so happy that even the troubles
that you have will not be sufficient to take from you the great
peace that surpasseth all understanding.
I have been in the spirit for many years and have possessed this
Love for a long time, and know by actual experience what it is,
and what great joy it brings to its possessor, so that you can rely
on what I promise you, and feel the certainty that actual knowledge
gives. I am now, a wholly redeemed child of the Father, and one
who knows that His Divine Love in the soul makes the man or spirit
of the Essence of the Father. When this Love enters the soul of
man it increases like the leaven in the dough, and continues in
its work until the whole soul is impregnated with it, and everything
of sin or error is wholly eradicated.
Love worketh all things that man can wish for or conceive of, and
more besides. Paul's description of Love and the wonderful qualities
and conditions that emanate from it, does not contain all its emanations
and resultant happiness.
But I must not write more tonight for it is late
and you are tiring. So believe what I have said, and try to follow
my advice, and you will soon experience that peace and happiness
which only this Love can bring to the souls of men. So with my love
and blessings I will say good night.
Your brother in Christ,
Samuel
