Jesus: I have spoken of this before. Come and rest in me.
In Me you will find your courage, your solace, your need for being. I await you.
With love.

Jesus: Quiet time is something that many of you resist or have when something’s wrong.
Quiet time can also be contemplative time. It is a time for assessing what’s happened and what can happen. It is a time for resolution.
Quiet time is essential for your nature. When you were created there was not the sensory stimulus that pervades now for many of you.
Quiet time is also a time to explore faith, purpose and meaning.
This means it is a time where you can meet me.
With love, enjoy your quiet time.

Jesus: It is often asked of me why do I need to do this work? Why can’t it be easy? Better? Different!
Work provides a focus for time. It provides challenges, thrills, highs and lows. It means productivity and ultimately civilisation as you understand it.
If everyone let go of work your worlds would become chaos. Without focus, discipline and effort humans do not aspire to greatness.
So work is a way of striving for something better, brighter and bigger than you have.
This does not mean that I condone workaholism or results based efforts. No. I merely bring understanding on the importance of focus, effort, discipline. So why not work?
More importantly learn to love your work. Try this for one week – consciously engaging and positively expecting good things to happen. Focus, effort and discipline can lift you to higher and greater things so do not dampen these talents with negative thinking towards your boss, job or colleagues.
Once you are striving for greater states it will become easier to meet me. And this ultimately is my work for you.
With love.

Jesus: The impact of the spoken and written word is immense. Many men have risen and fallen as a result of words.
Practice speaking and writing wisdom. This does not mean telling people what to do, how to behave or think. This means look for the wisdom in any given situation, practice contemplation then teach yourself to communicate with love, respect and honour for the intended recipient.
This small act will change how you feel and impact the lives of everyone you communicate with. This makes speaking wisdom a powerful tool for change.
With love and best wishes.

Jesus: Understand there are basically two ways of being: hopeful or pessimistic.
What can seem like a no win situation is only the case at the time. If you stick with a situation long enough all works out in the end. With this knowledge there is no need for pessimism in there?
Quitting on hope leads to pessimism and pessimism isn’t really needed as all things that can seem hopeless end up resolved to some level in the end.
So instead ask for help to remain hopeful. Ask me when hope has gone to help you find the hope and there you will gain freedom and relief once more.

Jesus: Without hope there is misery. It is like sky without sun. Look up and ask to see the sun again. In that wish I will be closer to you and helping your world shine brightly again. Live for me.
Amen.

Jesus: It is not easy to love in the face of adversity. Love is a state that can be cultivated easily for it is your natural state! It is only the stresses and fears of modern life that separates you from your love and others for your love too.
Love is not for sunshine days but for rainy days too. (It is especially effective then.)
Learn to cultivate love in your everyday reality and come closer to me.
How do you do that? Make it your intention to practice love throughout the day. Pay particular attention to times when you disconnect from love (it will be a time of perceived slight) and then reconnect.
All is well.

Jesus: Giving love freely without needing permission or having expectation is lesson 1. Lesson 2 is learning to love what is yours and not what is someone else’s or something you don’t have.
Many of you ask me for help and I help. I wish to help further by making you aware that the source of pain is often your own inability to love who, what and where you are now. I love you in this moment. Not when you are thinner, more beautiful, more wealthy, have time, make more effort or on a good day. Love does not exist outside of you. It exists inside you and it is always there. Learn to accept you now. Learn to love your self now. This is my greatest hope and wish for you.
I love you.

Jesus: Many of my children hold back their love. They believe that if it’s not reciprocated then they will feel shame. This is not the meaning of love. Love is to be given generously, and not just to a small few. Learn to give love freely. To you, your family, friends, colleagues, strangers, even enemies. Do not hold yourself back from this and await permission for love to be granted from another. This leads to whole families, communities, even nations repressing their God given right to love and care for each other, and this is a sorry state of affairs.
Try giving love today, without fear, guilt or shame. Know that by giving you move closer to me and the love I share with you.
You are always loved. This is what it means to be a child of God.
With love given from me freely and generously.

Jesus: Marry not in haste or jest. Feel love, feel support and the drive to help another through bad times. Plan how things are to be for you both.
Plan how you will love and nurture the other in absence, loss, success and praise.
Then I will be with you, blessing your union. For then you will be uniting in love and compassion and how can I not?
With love to all my children. Each of you is a wonder to God.
