If you cry out for me, your cries will be the sound of my footsteps hastening to you. When you forget my presence, it is I who am cast out. Stone me and I must leave your city. But, my child, the very instant you relinquish your weapon, know that I am already at home upon the throne of your heart. Hush, my dear one, and feel me near you. While you weep and bemoan my absence, I am weeping for you and clamouring upon the door of your heart, so you might hear me, and, hearing, rejoice in my homecoming. Be comforted!, for it is I, your honored and beloved Lord. Hearken!, for I bring you the greatest of news. I desire only that you might acknowledge my blood in your veins, and your right to my throne.

See the universe is for you. When you rise from your chair, Lazarus is risen from the grave. When you lift a cup, Magdelene is lifted from obscure degredation, to stand beside the Redeemer, a symbol of His Love. I would give myself to you everywhere and in all things. My love for you is boundless, as are the measures of my love. You pray, "Lord, do not disdain me,". Know you not that it is I who prays, as I do all things? Your prayer is but the fractured echo of my own. Brokenhearted, I lament, "My child, do not disdain me! Why do you disdain me?"

My eternal lover, hush. Do you not remember how we loved? We were two, and we became one. This was our triumph, not our tragedy. Look upon me now. Am I not comely? My beloved, how can I give more of myself to you? I contain you and am contained within you. What more would you have of me? Whatever it is, believe that it is yours. Fix it in your mind, and you shall have it. Imagine your desire, and as you breathe, I am preparing it for you. If it is a lovely woman, know that, at this very moment, she is with me, learning the ways to make you happy. I knew that you would like her. I have been preparing her from the begining, for you, just as I have been preparing you for her. But this is a great mystery.

I have told you that I do all things. Believe me, for this is both true, and conducive to an appreciation of my full presence. Do not trouble yourself with the contemplation of this truth. All is well, and everything is accounted for. All things tend toward perfection and rest. Because this process is occurring as quickly as it possibly can, there is really no evil in the world. If there were ever a neglected opportunity to do good, this would be evil. But there are no neglected opportunities in the universe, as nature observes a perfect law of conservation. If you suspect that you have seen a neglected opportunity, think again. How closely did you look? There are many things to consider. Many things prevented the moment from being opportune, and all that could be done was done. I assure you, all things are necessary; those which you term "good", and those which you term "bad". And, although I am more than happy to spend eternity explaining this matter to you (there will always be more to explain than there is time to explain it in), you may also choose to take my WORD for it.

Have a little faith in me. Do you laugh when I say that I am in small things, like the lifting of a cup? I am in your laugh as well. I am the one laughing, for I am already revealing the profound method to my seeming madness. Have you looked for me in the cup and not found me? Ahh, but you have already drunk my wine, my blood. After all, I made you look! You laughed because the cup is small. Already, I am teaching you to distinguish between the small and the great; the lifting of a cup, and the lifting of a person. Will you laugh when I say that I am in the lifting of a person? Think of how I lifted Magdelene. Whenever you lift your cup, drink to her absolution, and the absolution of the world. In this way, I am with you, and you are with me, for you remember me, and my memory is my spirit.

In the daytime,
my Lord sings to me a new song,
and I shall listen well.
The words and melody
shall be light and warmth
to me in the night.

I sing to my Lord
the song my Lord sang to me.


- Stephen Wallace Coltin ("hsc")
(inspired by the works of Eva Bell Werber)


"Be not afraid for your progress. Do not try to interpret, through writings, My Law for you, for after all, if you busy yourself to know the Law and keep it not, wherein lies the profit? It is well! Come again as a little child, for as such have I guided you thus far down the path which leads to the freedom and glory of your soul."

- "Quiet Talks with the Master"
by Eva Bell Werber


"I want to know God's thoughts...
the rest are details."

Oh Steve... smiles and eyelash fluttering and
even a little swoon

Do you know that I paused my WMP in the middle of a song because I wanted to focus on the Word in front of me and when I paused it I became aware of the song and it was In Bloom. I have had some nice experiences today.
A lovely moon tonight...

That is extremely uplifting and beautiful, HSC.

Thank you for posting this in the midst of personal attacks on people and all the things we humans do to each other instead of just forgiving and letting go of all need for revenge.

The words you posted here should give us all a big spiritual kick in the butt.

If we could all only believe those words, take them to heart and know how very much we are loved and cared for and how very much we are all esteemed in the eyes of God then we would be able to see each other in the same way that God sees us. Then the world might actually change.
