The eyes must search for what is within

You make it sound so relatively easy, this walk with You. That I can move through my day without too much concern for the pain I am enduring, even if minor, without the stress of seeing a world in distress, with the seemingly inevitability of war, of famine, of great loss. It’s as if many things are observed, but unattached to me.

It seems as if I should be more concerned, more involved in some manner, more compassionate for those in need. Yet I sense I am not; and wonder why? Is it because these things are not in my life directly? If they were would I behave differently? And if so, where is the truth within each, the involvement, and the observation?

You have read and heard much, have seen the destruction that man wreaks upon himself and others, and believe by these actions you have seen the truth. In all you have seen what men would have you see. Yet the suffering of men is true, the result of things done by man to man, the truth of which has been hidden from you. This suffering will always be.

Yet the longer you are with Me the more the truth of this suffering will be revealed, for I am Truth and I am always revealed, and so truth will always be revealed to those who seek to discover it through Me. Set you heart upon this path, this desire for truth, but set first your heart to discover truth through Me. For it is only there that it will be discovered.

This is not to say that suffering based on unknowns cannot be changed, and will within those whose heart is after Mine. This, again, is your desire within for some action to do without to relieve the suffering of man. And I would say again that it is only through Me that the suffering of man’s heart, and not just his circumstances, will change, and that is the search you should seek. Remember My compassion knows no limit, that I see and know the sufferings of men – that I have come to heal all, that their lives might be full of peace, joy, and contentment.

But for this to be man must change the actions he has always taken, even if the intention of his heart seems good. There can be no lasting change to the direction of man’s heart without the change in direction for what it is he seeks with his eyes. And his eyes would need to seek after Me for any lasting change.

For you it is the same. Your eyes cannot be filled by what you see happening outside but they must concentrate on what is within – that place where turmoil has ceased, where striving has ended, where action rises from an encounter of hearts, ours together. This is the inspiration you have asked about and are seeking each day. The eyes must search for what is within, for that is where I Am, not just the without where you seem to seek Me most.

Turn within, and search there, and discover within that which will make a change without. You believe it might be easy, yet you see how difficult it is – for you are constantly, moment by moment, seeing the without. We do not avoid the circumstances of men, their suffering, their lack of the Kingdom – but we also see that the solution will not be found without, but will come from within, where we are together.

See the without, but search the within, for only there will your heart find the contentment of a walk with Me. Resist the impulse to do something, except this one thing – to be with Me. And all things then will be done in truth.

In all you have seen what men would have you see. Yet the suffering of men is true, the result of things done by man to man, the truth of which has been hidden from you.

And I would say again that it is only through Me that the suffering of man’s heart, and not just his circumstances, will change, and that is the search you should seek.

You have seen the destruction man brings upon himself and others, believing it reveals truth. But what you see is what men show you. Suffering is real, caused by man’s actions, yet its deeper truth remains hidden.

The message frames suffering as a paradox: it’s a visible consequence of human brokenness, yet it conceals a deeper divine truth accessible only through relationship with God, the source of Truth. This resonates with John 16:33, where Jesus acknowledges tribulation but points to Himself as the source of peace and victory. The idea that “the longer you walk with Me, the more this hidden truth is revealed” suggests a dynamic, ongoing process of spiritual growth. Suffering, in this view, isn’t just a problem to solve but a crucible for encountering God’s transformative presence.

The longer you walk with Me, the more this hidden truth of suffering is revealed. I am Truth, always unveiled to those who seek Me. Set your heart on this path—seek truth through Me, for only there will you find it.

The call to align the heart with God’s, as in Romans 12:2 and Isaiah 48:10-11, reminds us that transformation isn’t merely about alleviating external pain but about an inner renewal that reorients how we perceive and respond to suffering. This aligns with the emphasis on heart transformation over circumstantial fixes. For example, Psalm 119:71’s insight that affliction teaches God’s statutes suggests suffering can be a tutor, guiding us toward divine wisdom if we seek God in it.

Suffering can change in those whose hearts align with Mine. Your desire to act and ease man’s pain is good, but true change comes through Me, transforming not just circumstances but the heart itself.

The point about acting to ease suffering being good but incomplete without divine guidance (echoed in Micah 6:8 and Galatians 6:2) challenges us to consider how often human efforts to address pain—while noble—can miss the deeper spiritual dimension. True change, as noted, flows from a heart aligned with God’s, which empowers actions that reflect His justice and love.

Remember My compassion knows no limit, that I see and know the sufferings of men – that I have come to heal all, that their lives might be full of peace, joy, and contentment.

But for this to be man must change the actions he has always taken, even if the intention of his heart seems good. There can be no lasting change to the direction of man’s heart without the change in direction for what it is he seeks with his eyes. And his eyes would need to seek after Me for any lasting change.

For you it is the same. Your eyes cannot be filled by what you see happening outside but they must concentrate on what is within – that place where turmoil has ceased, where striving has ended, where action rises from an encounter of hearts, ours together. This is the inspiration you have asked about and are seeking each day. The eyes must search for what is within, for that is where I Am, not just the without where you seem to seek Me most.

My compassion is limitless. I see the weight of every tear, know the ache of every burdened soul, and hold all suffering within My infinite love. I have come to heal—bringing peace, joy, and contentment.

Yet, for this healing to take root you must choose a different path. Even your noblest intentions require a different direction. Lift your gaze from the tumult that swirls around you—its chaos, its noise—and seek instead the quiet sanctuary within, where My presence dwells. There you will find the still point of peace that transforms all you are and all you do.

“Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”

— Matthew 11.28-30

His statement resonates deeply with the human longing for meaning amid suffering. The image of a compassionate God who “sees and knows all suffering” yet calls humanity to shift its gaze inward is both comforting and challenging. It suggests that true healing isn’t found in fighting external chaos alone but in cultivating an inner sanctuary where divine peace resides. This aligns with spiritual growth: transformation begins when we stop chasing fleeting solutions and instead anchor ourselves in something eternal.

The challenge, though, lies in the “shift in actions” mentioned: humanity often clings to well-intentioned but misdirected efforts—fixing systems, chasing ideals, or numbing pain—without addressing the heart’s deeper need for divine connection. Lasting change often eludes us because we prioritize external fixes over internal alignment. The message is a gentle yet firm invitation to recalibrate, to seek His presence as the source of peace and the guide for action. It’s a reminder that divine healing is freely offered but fully realized when we participate in the process.

Turn within, and search there, and discover within that which will make a change without. You believe it might be easy, yet you see how difficult it is – for you are constantly, moment by moment, seeing the without. We do not avoid the circumstances of men, their suffering, their lack of the Kingdom – but we also see that the solution will not be found without, but will come from within, where we are together.

See the without, but search the within, for only there will your heart find the contentment of a walk with Me. Resist the impulse to do something, except this one thing – to be with Me. And all things then will be done in truth.

The spark of inspiration dwells deep within you, in that sacred space where chaos stills and the restless striving of the world falls silent. It is here that true transformation is born. Cease your endless search for Me in the fleeting shadows of the external world; instead, turn inward, where I reside, ever-present, whispering your name.

To change the world, you must first journey within. I know it is not easy—your eyes are drawn to the cries of humanity, to the pain and emptiness that surround you. Yet, the answers you seek cannot be found in the clamor of the outside. They await you in the stillness, heart to heart. Gaze upon the world’s sorrows, yes, but let your soul seek Me first. Resist the impulse to act in haste without the anchor of our communion.

When you abide in Me every step you take flows from a wellspring of truth. From this place your actions ripple outward, carrying the gentle power of peace and the quiet strength of contentment. Come rest in Me, and let us shape the world together from the depths of your soul.

“Be still, and know that I am God.”

— Psalm 46.10

In a world that pulls us outward—toward news cycles, social pressures, and the visible suffering of others—it’s both radical and humbling to be reminded that the most powerful change starts in the quiet of our own souls. The image of walking “hand in hand” with God, evokes a sense of intimacy and trust. It suggests that God is not a distant force to be sought in grand gestures but a constant companion, waiting in the stillness to guide our steps.

In Psalm 46:10 “Be still, and know that I am God” and 1 Kings 19:11-12 “still small voice” is a reminder that God often speaks in whispers, not in the clamor of the world. These scriptures challenge us to pause, to resist the urge to act impulsively, and to seek divine guidance first. In the promise of Isaiah 30:15 that “in quietness and confidence shall be your strength” is a countercultural idea: strength isn’t found in busyness or outward achievement but in resting in God’s presence. This aligns with the passage’s warning against being drawn solely to “man’s suffering and lack” without first grounding ourselves in divine communion.

The declaration of Galatians 2:20—“Christ lives in me”—is a powerful anchor. It suggests that the inner presence of God isn’t just a place to visit but a living reality that shapes every action. When acting from this place, your efforts, however small, carry a truth and peace that ripple outward. The passage’s emphasis on “contentment and peace” as the fruit of this alignment feels like a promise: by prioritizing being with God, you can move through the world with a heart that’s steady, even amid chaos.
