Wait before Me with an [[Absence|empty]] [heart]], empty of worries or concerns. Just you and Me and allow My mantle of [[peace]] fall softly around you and pervade you during your [[meditation]]. It is [[time]] well spent with Me in the Stillness of your heart. The Stillness is so designed that you will reap greater benefits than you can at present only imagine. Your greatest test at present is that of [[waiting]], not knowing what to expect and yet [[trust]] Me enough to know that I Am also waiting for you and Am [[expecting]] you. As yet you can have no [[knowledge]] what this all means, this seeking and waiting for Me.

For [[mortals]] it is a lesson in [[dedicated]] [[perseverance]] which helps build a dependable [[character]]. It shows the [[eternal]] [[God]] that the blueprint He designed for each [[human being]] is working. He gave each one the [[choice]] to turn their potentials into actuals. He also gave each mortal the gift of [[free will]], so each can act according to their own choice and decision making how fast they will advance on this road of continual [[discovery]]. Some seem apparently ‘stuck’ at a lower level depending on their genetic inheritance or something may have happened in very early [[childhood]], which blocked their advancement. While others seemingly forge ahead, undeterred by [[Everything|anything]] that has happened in the past.

So yes, wait before Me so you can attain [[clarity]] and [[Assurance|surety]] as to which path to take. I shall make your waiting worthwhile. It is the best time you will spent to reap innumerable benefits. As you go forth from your periods of [[Stillness]], you can the better serve your [[Family|brothers and sisters]] with [[love]] in your [[heart]], being mindfully aware that they too have a [[Fragment of God]] within them to help guide them on their path, which may not be the same as yours, as each has their own [[divine]] [[blueprint]] to develop.

This is another valuable area of self-[[discipline]] towards [[self-mastery]]. There are many area’s to practice this skill. It is living life at a [[Profound|deeper level]] of self-[[discovery]], which is the recognition of areas which can stand improvement. [[Waiting]] is a skill, which can be exercised in all area’s of life. It is a needful [[exercise]] to learn that all [[good]] [[things]] come to those who have learned to wait, and can labor and [[work]] towards the [[manifestation]] of a worthy goal, or a treasured item they [[desire]] to have. Waiting teaches [[value]] to the thing finally gotten. Learning to wait is a necessary part of life. Life does not [[exist]] for instant [[self-gratification]]. Even in [[evolution]], [[creation]] happens when the [[timing|time is right]] as one [[experiences]] in the [[rites]] of [[nature]] in the seasons. It is the endless variety in waiting which brings [[value]] to the spice of life.

===Lesson===
Let today’s lesson be on [[waiting]], also. You know the saying, ‘haste makes waste.’ And so many [[human]] plans come to naught, because they do their own will, as the [[desire]] for instant [[gratification]] is yet too strong. This is an instinctive and [[animal]]istic tendency, which needs to be curbed when a child is still very young. It is up to the child’s caregivers to see to it that not every wish is to be granted. [[Waiting]] is an [[art]], and the sooner this is taught and [[understood]], whilst [[reason]] needs to be given that it is not the right [[Timing|time]]. [[Children]] are very open and reasonable when [[truth]] is spoken and explained to them. For adults, it is extremely important to be an example and [[inspiration]] to the young ones, so they must see to it, that they themselves have mastered the [[virtue]] of waiting and do not indulge in [[self-gratification]], be it in food, drink or in buying [[things|goods]].
It is a sign of [[maturity]] and of self-[[discipline]] when one can wait and if the [[spiritual]] development has proceeded unabated along with the mental and [[emotional]] development, then that [[mortal]] is also learning to ‘wait upon the Lord’. In other [[words]], he or she has learned to seek [[the Father’s Will]]. Many a [[human]] plan has gone, and will go awry, because of this instant gratification and through lack of waiting, so the [[celestial]] [[agencies]] could put the proper circumstances in place for the human to [[act]] upon to his or her greatest satisfaction and [[soul]]-contentment into a ripe old age, to look back upon a well-lived and well-spent life, during which the [[mind|mental]], [[Heart|emotional]] and [[spiritual]] [[systems]] were able to achieve a [[harmonious]] [[balance]], which obviously will help as the [[foundation]] upon which to build [[eternal]] life.
Far too many people give too little [[thought]] as to what the [[purpose]] of life is. Too often the thought is [[entertained]], ‘Let us eat, drink and be merry, for tomorrow we may die.’ And so they live on, not knowing that they have to confront and answer to themselves why they did not make better use of their [[time]]. The problem as seen from a [[celestial]] [[viewpoint]] is that far too many mortals still live in [[fear]] and are afraid to [[wake]] up and become [[adventurous]] enough to [[travel]] into the uncharted regions of [[inner space]], and to be more in a [[moment|present]]-centered awareness and learn to wait to hear their own [[Guidance|Guiding Voice]]. This is waiting in the most [[profound]] sense and the recognition shall surely dawn that it is the greatest [[joy]] and privilege to wait upon the Lord of their [[being]] -- that [[Divine]] [[Thought Adjuster|Spark of God]].
