have perfect faith and trust—may know that now is the allotted time; that now are all good things manifest.

Are ye not sons of God? Can ye not see that it is thy vanity that is putting off the day? Canst thou not see, dear ones, that thou art standing in thine own light?

Then when ye pray, pray not that something may come to pass, but praise and glorify God that it is now, and be thankful!

I bless you. Peace.

DEAR ONES, you who would hear a great truth, know that I AM the LIFE, the ESSENCE of all created things; that without Me is nothing made—even as with Me and of Me are all things made.

On My One Side, I AM GOODNESS—I AM TRUTH—I AM LIFE. On My Other Side, I AM SIN, SICKNESS and DESPAIR. I AM all these things, because through and with them I quicken the hearts of My children whom I would grow into My Likeness.

I see you question how I can be that in you told above, and still be quickening Force in some and the appearance of evil in others. Hear thou this parable;

A man went into his fields to sow. Freely he sowed of that which he had. And when the seeds sprang up, and harvest time was nigh, a great wind came and swept to earth the fruit of the land. The master, when he saw what had happened, was much aggrieved; he wept and was downcast. But a servant in his house came unto him and said, “Master, why criest thou? Dost thou not see the hand of the Lord in this?”

The master was comforted not and said, “How can the hand of the Lord be in this so great destruction? See!—all is barren—all is lost!”

But the servant replied, “All is not lost, master. Behold, we sowed twelve bags of barley, eighteen bags of rye, twenty-five bags of wheat. If we will but go into the fields, we can gather up that which was ripened for the harvest, but now lies scattered on the ground. Next Spring at planting time, we can sow many more bags, for lo!—we now have twice the seeds we planted.”
