INOPPORTUNE TIMES

Dear One, Have you noticed that there are inopportune times in your busy schedule which present themselves for you to show extra love and loyalty to one of My other children? You might be obligated to something, a business or an institution which requires your tightly scheduled time and attention. In the midst of that tightly bound schedule a person appears who needs an extra dose of My love through you, maybe a family member, a neighbor, a stranger on the street, often even a religious or political enemy. Your first reaction might be to fulfill the obligation to the business or institution. Businesses and institutions are filled with other people who can do the required jobs, but the person in need might not have anyone else to fulfill his or her need for love at the moment. You are torn between obligation and My calling to show love. The choice you make will have lifelong consequences in the lives of others because love shown to the person will multiply in his or her life and affect others. The love will be passed on because love is never stagnant. It cannot be contained within a living vessel. It must flow from a person like it flows from Me. Letting loved ones, acquaintances and even politcal or religious enemies know that you are available and dependable and loyal will make a monumental difference in the emotional stability and confidence of the other person. Your inconvenient availability will let the person know that he or she is valuable, more important in the scheme of things than any institution because you have made quality time to spend with him or her and show love. Love is active. Love is active in words and in deeds, never just in words. Remember that you might also be entertaining angels unaware because you have made time to show love to others. Love, God Romans 2:4; I John 4:7-13; Hebrews 13:1-3; John 10:15-18; John 15:13; I John 3:16-18l; John 13:34-35; I John 2:8-11; II John 1:5.
