Should one look in their mirror and not see Me?

Day 167

I have wanted to speak to others about a relationship of hearing Your voice, of searching for that place within where we communicate, the place of hearing. I would not try to be so cavalier about this meeting place as to suggest it for everyone else, yet I feel that is exactly what should be done; why not encourage others to meet in a place of hearing God’s voice?

Do we struggle on our own trying to hear from You, whether through books, the voices of others, the changing of circumstances, or can we have a conversation with the One who can provide all the things we need or desire? It is that place of looking in the mirror: do I just have a dialog with myself, move forward, and hope for a change? Do I view my mind as the place of change such that my heart can change, as well as my circumstances? Encounters with You led to dramatic changes within everyone; can a conversation with you be any different? Should it?

Care should be taken that the kind of relationship we have together is not a pattern for any other, that I might have with another. Is the relationship you have with your wife to be the same as you should have with all? Yet, I understand your question. Why not speak with the One if that is the purpose of having a relationship at all? In My presence is all that one would desire; why not make that the purpose of one’s life – to be in My presence? For there is the fullness of joy, and of healing, and of prosperity, and of freedom, and of all that one’s heart would desire.

Yes, it is true that men seek Me in all kinds of ways, and it is true that there is not one way, yet I would speak with all the way I speak with you. I would talk, I would be with, I would dwell with, I would nurture that place where I could be with all.

It is your place to encourage that kind of relationship, to help others in their beliefs that such a place could and does exist, and to always help them to believe that I would speak to them directly as I do with you – just perhaps not in the same way but with the same result. This is My greatest desire, to be with them, to speak with them as I would with all that I love. It is always a question of how that is to be; but always encouraged nonetheless.

Men are results based: if their life is changed for the better, I get the credit within whatever relationship we have; if their life does not appear better in the way men judge better to be, then I am at fault. Neither is true as men would see, for I am after their heart – can I not be with them in all circumstances? Can I not guide them within a place of wholeness regardless of circumstances? Can I not be with them even in the most dire circumstance? I can, and will, for I take no greater joy than to be with those I love. Therefore, should one look in their mirror and not see Me?
