Lord, help us to walk in peace and unity with others. Guide us to resolve conflicts with wisdom and love, and to be a source of harmony, not division. Amen.
Here I am, Lord. Oh, how we need you, Mother Clare began.
And I am right here by your side, helping you reach a resolution of peace that will thwart the enemy.
It is very hard when a person has experienced rejection all their lives. Every layer of rejection becomes a shell to protect the heart. Both of you have difficult histories, and the enemy is always trying to make a mountain out of a molehill.
For real, I mean that with all my heart. You both have similar temperaments, which have the potential of a good partnership, but that's the last thing the enemy wants, so he tries to turn you against one another. The tendency towards a critical spirit in you both sets up many occasions of strife.
Steer clear of strife, my beloved ones. Listen very carefully to one another and be empathetic. That will shoot many tensions down.
The enemy has used many lies against you. Learn to be flexible without protest and prioritise. Clare, you can grow in patience.
And brother, what you do for her you have done for me directly. Could there be any better way to spend your time and energy? Really? And Clare, his needs are my needs. Is there any better way you could spend your time? Children, children, lavish your time and energy on me dwelling in each of you.
Be there for each other. Be willing to waste time and energy on each other until things are running smoothly again. That is why I brought you together in community, so that you could show your love and dedication for me by cheerfully serving.
This is not a chore, beloved ones. This is a privilege. Is there anything more important than saving souls? Satan has given you a hypersensitive spirit about donating your time to my work.
Nothing in your day is more important than serving one another so that souls can be reached with the good news. This indeed is a privilege. Do not see it as a chore stealing time from you.
See it as your due diligence in bringing the kingdom of heaven to earth. I am dead serious about this perspective. Do not have a perspective of selfishness.
This is my time. I have so much to do, and this is inconvenient. How do you think that makes me feel? Did you not give me your lives and times? Did I not call you to serve in my kingdom being formed on this earth? So, tell me, whose time is it when one of you calls Clare, and Clare calls you? If you think it is yours to conserve and control, you are sadly mistaken.
There are times when I call you to do foolish things like hang out. Should you say no to your brother when he has time to visit? Or should you both look out for one another and choose the best compromise? The things you sweat bullets over are far less important than the way you treat one another. Work done in vitriol and resentment is destructive, not constructive, not forming you in holiness or moving you forward with the best motives.
Because you see, motive is everything, your faithfulness to your duties rebounds to the other's advantage in them being able to be faithful because you were there for them. At the end of the day, when the angels tally up your interactions, what kind of score and brotherly love do you think you merit for the way you handled one another? Did you avoid that person because you were so caught up in your own likes and agendas you just didn't care to interrupt your more important work? Did you deliberately leave your walkie off so you could not be reached? Did you politely enquire of one another if they were tied up in a critical job or conversation before asking them for help? Or did you expect them to drop what they were engaged in to meet your needs? Did you try to solve your problem without having to bother anyone? Or did you reach for the phone and not even try to solve it alone? Did you call too early or too late for a small matter? My children, these are common sense and good manners. They show that you respect one another's time and their purpose.
A little respect goes a long, long way, beloved ones. Put yourselves in their shoes. Are they struggling to do their work because they hit a technical wall? Or do they need an answer from you to continue on with their work? Love one another as I have loved you.
Do not be selfish with your time. Rather, demonstrate to them how much you love and respect them by being prompt on the walkie and eager to see them move on and have a productive night. You must learn my priorities.
What is important to me to do first? Is someone in pain? Is there an accident? Is someone exhausted or sick? Is it a matter of feeding souls? Please, my very, very little ones, do not live for yourselves. Live for me and my agenda and priorities. And love your brother as you love yourself. Amen.
