THE LORD SPEAKS...WE LISTEN

I dreamed I was walking with Jesus, talking with him...as opposed to listening, please note. I asked him, "What did You do and how did You do it?" Referring to when he was walking around in human clothes, doing the dailies of human life.

I wanted to know what did he do and how, especially when he was being mocked and scorned for being different from you and me. Different purely because he was preaching love...love your friends, love your enemies, love...and that is all.

And the answer that came?  "Deny yourself, deny yourself."

That is the singular, single, lone and only Way to love, to love alone. Our ego will ever legislate for itself, it cannot not. We must go beyond reason to love, and ego is of the reasoning mind...it roosts there. Cannot be budged by want to or knowing better...mainly because want to and knowing better are born and bred in the reasoning mind.

Paradoxically, the answer, "Deny yourself," must needs start in our reasoning mind. When our ego is running a rant on another, on the various things we need to say or do to stop and/or top the perceived enemy, that's when we turn our thoughts inward.

We turn to the Father within and pray, "Speak, Lord, your servant heareth." Then listen.

Thank you.
