UNSOLICITED PRAISE



Dear One,

Praise should preferably be from the heart rather than from the emotions.
When praise is from the heart, genuine and full of thanksgiving, it is unadulterated. That pure praise opens the windows of heaven just like heart of a person is opened when you give him or her unrequested, genuine, heartfelt compliments.
Praise from the emotions often comes from a manipulative spirit, praising because it's required by a leader to invoke My blessings. I know the heart of a person, whether it is genuine or whether it is forced. Sometimes religious spirits are in control, forcing praise in order to attain an emotional high for the people. When that happens you are building up the emotions rather than inviting My Holy Spirit to do His work among you and within you. When good results are produced from emotional praise and worship, the results are often only temporary because they are mentally produced rather than spiritually produced by Me.
When you tell others about My mighty works in your behalf, that is true praise and the result is that people are thrilled with the reality of My love.
Your individual forms of genuine praise thrill Me, even if they are sporadic phrases like when you often say, "Dad, you are greatest," or "Father, you are amazing, " or "Dad, you are something else." I know those praises are from a gracious heart and they have not been solicited, They come from a child who is thrilled with My work in your behalf.
I love the times when you are awe struck at My little daily kisses. Now, that's real praise, for you to be so in awe that you are speechless. That's when true praise has flooded your mind and body, flowing from your spirit. That's when healing takes place in your inner being. That's when you are 100% in unity with Me. Those times are precious to Me as well as to you.
Let praise be spontaneous, not programmed. Let praise be unsolicited by others. You know the difference and I know the difference.

Love, God
