I am so very grateful that God's Love never wavers and is always waiting for us to open our soul's to its reception through our desire. This past week I have been slowly letting go of resistance and endeavouring to allow myself to sink more comfortably into God-reliance. So much resistance in me means that it is a slow process.
Today I would like to share with you a message from the Judas Channellings on Humility. It has helped me greatly to 'get back on track' (so to speak). I hope it is of benefit to you also.
Building Harmony With Humility
January 14th, 2002
Received by H.R.Hello H___, I see that you do not feel so well today. But allow me to give you some advice.
After Jesus’ death, the new church, which in fact was not a church as you understand it today, spread all over the Roman Empire, and even beyond its limits, towards Mesopotamia and
These leaders, unfortunately, very soon
fought between themselves, in a fight for power. And I am not necessarily
referring to political power, but there were many disputes over who was right.
This was a very lamentable, but also a very human development. Because in human
movements, somebody has to decide where to go.
Now, when you have the impression that this
is repeating, although your movement has not spread so spectacularly over the
face of the earth, it is necessary to meditate and to not commit the same
mistakes that have already been made once.
You have to learn how to control yourself
and to try to lose your great pride. On many occasions we have pointed out
that, in fact, humility is one of the most important characteristics that
distinguish people who seek the Father's Love. Emotional outbreaks, as you
showed recently, don't fit into the harmony amongst people, who are supposed to
work together. Instead of exploding and creating an open conflict, you could say, “I respect your ideas, but I don't agree with them." It is so simple. With that, you don't hurt anybody.
I believe that you understand that humility
does not mean weakness. Be humble but firm, firm in your decisions and in your
objectives. You are receiving guidance through us, as anyone may receive
guidance through us. After all, we are but guides, you decide your destination,
which is at-onement with God through His Love, and we try to guide you along
the safest and most efficient road. You are the captain of your ship of life; I
am your pilot, guiding your ship safely to the harbor of its destination. Also
in your efforts for spreading the message of Love, we try to give you our
advice. How can you spread a message of Love, if you are not capable of
manifesting love in front of your neighbours?
Humility is strength, provided it is
accompanied by steadfastness. And you can only have steadfastness, when you
have faith, that is to say, the certain knowledge that what you are doing is
the correct thing. You remember that we once talked about the quarrel between the disciples over who was the first. None of them was prepared to assume a slave's work, preparing water and washing the others’ feet. Jesus did it. That is humility. Seeing how little his disciples understood of what he was preaching still did not lead him to give up his efforts to fulfil the Heavenly Father's Will. Even seeing the risk he ran did not lead him to abandon his mission and to seek less dangerous roads. This is what I call steadfastness.
What actually distinguishes a great soul,
are the qualities of love, humility and steadfastness.
Collaborate in everything, where you feel
the impulse to collaborate. If something displeases you, say so immediately,
and so you will avoid future confrontations.
This is all for today. It is a simple
advice. Be firm in your decisions, be generous with others, and whatever you
do, do it with love. If you cannot put your love in some action, let it go.
Your brother in Heaven,
Judas
