I am here, your own dear and loving Helen:
Well, see how obedient I am, but it was a very great pleasure to obey you in that way, as you know.
Well sweetheart, you have had some wonderful
messages tonight and I feel that they will help you very much
in your moments of trouble and worry. I was so glad that the Master
wrote you as he did. He was so very loving and brotherly and seemed
to be so much interested in your welfare.
He is so beautiful that we all stand and gaze at him, as you say
on earth, and so loving, that we feel that he is our great big,
loving brother. I tell you that without him this spirit world would
not be the place of happiness that it is to us who believe in him
and love him and follow his teachings. So many spirits do not know
him as their loving brother and wayshower, and they are left to
their own thoughts to find happiness. So you see the great privilege
and opportunity we, who know him as the son of the Father, have
over those who know him not. Having eyes, they see not, and ears
they hear not. It seems so strange to me, but I tell you that it
is true. The Master, with his great love and wisdom and power, passes
them by and they see him not. I try so hard to teach many spirits
what a knowledge of him means; but they seem so dull of comprehension
and so darkened in their souls development, that my work is often
in vain. Yet I have hope and continue my work, knowing that at some
unexpected moment a ray of light may break in and they commence
to think that God lives to give them his great love, and take them
to his care and protection in the way that we have told you of.
My heart yearns so for these blind spirits and willful rejecters
of the truth of the New Birth. Many of these spirits are very excellent
moral people and live lives of uprightness and love for their fellow
spirits, and work very hard to help the less enlightened to progress
to conditions of comparative happiness; and yet they, themselves,
will not listen to our teachings of the greater truths, which if
understood and obeyed would carry them to conditions of inexpressible
happiness.
Well, such is the work of spirits on earth as well as here; and we are all trying to do the work of the Father in helping to redeem souls.
You are much better than when you came to your room tonight, and
I am so glad of it. Only trust in the Master's promises and you
will not be disappointed.
I heard what he said about your progressing to a condition, even
while on earth, that would enable you to enter the celestial spheres
when you come over, and I believe it to be true. Now you must try
to get this very great development because when you come to me I
want you to come to my home to live. Won't that be joyful! Yes,
my dear Ned, I know that you will try, and I will help you so hard
to accomplish it and so will all. But your great helper will be
the Master, for you will be with him so much that his love will
overshadow you so that your soul will have to develop. So you see
how you are blessed in all this. Try to do his work with all your
heart and soul, and you will succeed.
Yes I heard, and when the time comes I will be with you to suggest and advise, and you will have a beautiful room for your purpose. And I know that we will have many joyous evenings together. We will bring heaven with us, and you will live in it for minutes at a time. You will then hear our voices in talk and song, feel our presence so palpably that you will know that we are with you. I am so anxious for that time to come, as are all of us.
Yes, we will all try to help you get the home and then you will be fixed for life.
Well, wait until the time comes, and you may change your mind. Of course, I would prefer that you should not, and if your comfort and happiness could be provided for otherwise, I would rather have it as you suggest. But you will have to wait.
Well, sweetheart, you have written much and must stop.
She is well and a little troubled, but it will soon disappear as you will do what the Master said.
So with all my love, and with many hugs and kisses, I am
Your own true and loving,
Helen
