After having tasted of the world and having been tempted by a worldly spirit, it is hard for people to see the blessing and reward in being nobody, in being nothing but a tool for My use so that I may be up front, in center stage, and in the spotlight. Those whose spirits have been fed with the pride of life, the lust of the eyes and the lust of the flesh, whose spirits have been tempted with what the world has to offer, with the glamour and glory of the toys of the world, have a hard time yielding.
It's a fight for those who have lived the ways of man and the way he thinks. Having once yielded to man's way, it's difficult to yield to My ways and the way I think.
I teach One Wife, the Law of Love, sharing and caring and yielding to one another. Man teaches the opposite, that sharing with others is wrong, that it is infidelity and unfaithfulness; that sharing your love and your body with more than one person is perverted and unclean. For the Devil tries to destroy true love and the beauty of true sex and true mutual sharing of a man and a woman.
As you grow closer to My ways and the simple joys and beauties of life as I have created it and provided, you will become more and more like Me. You'll shine with My beauty and My simple love, and will have less and less of your carnal reasoning and ways of thinking. These carnal ways of thinking will grow less and be less important as you seek to know the way I think and strive to live according to My ways and My wishes.
You will desire to learn to live with My impartial love that loves the unlovely and those whom others find hard to love. My love reaches out to them and cares for them and gives to them. As you look more to Me and My ways and desire to live My love, you will become more like Me and will be able to reflect My love without partiality. You will be able to put yourself more into the background, and put Me and others before yourself.
In learning to give for the sake of others' happiness, you will begin to glow with My light! Your cup of happiness and love will overflow and run over on others!
