Thank you for coming aside to be in My Eternal Presence.
See how we fit together. We need to grow together as one.
Your need for Me far outstrips My need for you, yet I know that you need Me to fulfill our togetherness.
Quiet your heart. Listen to the birds song – they are joyful without a care. They flit from flower to tree in great abandonment. They do not reap or sow, do they?
They exist to give pure joy to their Creator. Their very being brings joy to His other creatures.
It allows the flowers to participate in Creation. It allows the trees to play their role in Creation. Do you see the togetherness of them all?
There is no competition for My Attention. They are. They are in their fullness. Even when diseased and old, they still offer to Me their lives.
Now stop and think.
How often do I offer all of me to God?
How often do I allow stray thoughts to enter my being that take away from my worship of the Father?
The birds very song, sound proclaim the greatness of the Creator.
Does my voice proclaim the greatness of the Creator?
How often does my ‘song’ not reflect the glory that is the Creator’s alone?
Yet I tell you sometimes to still your tongue. That is because it flutters about nonsense, gossip, prattle that is not worthy of the Creator.
We are afraid to keep our tongue still. Yet it is a most necessary lesson. Unless it sings God’s praises, it should be still.
You will notice when you begin to think before you speak that you will ‘chat’ less. And this is a good thing.
It will show you that your voice is precious and is meant to proclaim the Good News as opposed to just proclaiming any slightly newsy item.
Let Me explain. It does not mean that you say nothing. It means that what you say has worth. It means that your voice does not waste its ability to talk on nothingness.
Sure you are going to chat at times, but already you have noted (to Me) – or I should say I have noted that you have held your tongue and not said things. I don’t know if anyone else has noted this, and that certainly does not matter.
What matters is that I have noted it and can see that it is becoming easier and easier for you to hold your tongue and not add any extra words, just to say something.
As you abide in Me, you will continue to see the many times that our words are wasted in not giving glory to the Father.
So it is always gradual.
It is not something that you will brag about because those bragging words will not be said to give honour and glory to My Father.
They will be used by you to get the attention that only My Father deserves.
