I ask you to stop awhile and listen to My Lesson.
I never want you far from My Words of Kindness and Consolation.
My Words to you and your words to others.
Do not think that I am ever wasting My Time being kind and consoling you. Far from it.
So, I want you to gather from this that for you to pour forth kindness and consolation from your heart is never a waste of time.
Really it is just another way of serving Me.
We think that if we are in a prayerful mode we will be regarded as having a good relationship with God.
But, not so, especially if these remarks about your holiness only feed your pride.
So, let your kindness go unseen, i.e. do not do it to be seen.
Be genuine with your kindness.
And usually then it won’t be seen by others because you are not making a big display about it.
Do not hesitate to console someone who has lost a loved one --- even if the loved one is an animal.
Remember, they loved the animal and now feel the love is lost or cut off.
So address their need to be shown love by another.
Do not hide your consoling words, but rather generously express them.
Kindness and consolation soften our hearts and help us to make good judgments about others and their needs.
We are only too happy to judge others, but these judgments are usually harsh.
Now, when you let kindness and consolation flow from your heart, these eliminate the harsh judgment and make it gentle and acceptable ---both to the receiver and to God!
So cherish the Gifts of these Graces and if you feel your heart getting a bit hard, ask for these Graces.
This is yet another Gift from God --- the Grace to recognize your heart is hardening and the God sense to ask for the healing Graces of Kindness and Consolation.
You see, My Bounty is always ready to be poured over you when you ask for the Graces needed to do My Will.
Ask away, ask any way, ask in every way.
I am here and lead you to wholesome soul life.
