Message received from James Padgett’s grandmother, Ann Rollins, found in, The Gospel of God’s Love, page 244.
I will tell you tonight of a truth, and I know that it’s of importance to all who may long for happiness in their future life. I am now in the Celestial Spheres, where there are no special lines of demarcation. It is not possible for me to tell you of the extent of our happiness here, for there are no words in your language which can convey a faint conception of this joy. I tell you this truth to show you and all humankind what is possible for you and them to obtain if you follow the course that the Father has provided and the Master has pointed out in his messages to you. The great instrument that causes this happiness is love – the Divine Love of which we so often write.
Humans, as you have been instructed, were not created with this love, and could only obtain it by their own longings and aspirations being exercised in the way that the Father had provided. But the great pity is that the first of the human race declined, or rather refused to pursue this way, and thought they were wise enough to know a better way. But in attempting to pursue their way, brought about their own downfall and lost the privilege of obtaining this Love.
In all the long years until the coming of Jesus, no human had this privelege, so it was not possible for them to find any greater happiness than what might come from their natural love. At the coming of Jesus, humans had again bestowed upon them this great privilege, and also the possibility of receiving the knowledge of the way in which this privilege could be exercised. This was not declared to all humans, however, for the territory in which Jesus taught and proclaimed this important truth was very limited and the great majority of humankind died without knowing that this great opportunity had been rebestowed.
But God did not restrict the bestowal of this Love potential to those who might be fortunate enough to learn of it from Jesus and his apostles. He sent his Holy Spirit to implant it in the souls of all humankind who might be in condition of soul aspiration and longing as to permit this Love to enter their souls. To be continued…
