The gifts of God
will be held from you,
until you are ready to receive them,
in nothing less, other than the state of the fullest purity.
Divine gifts, My child,
do not have the limitation of an absolute value.
Its value, My sweet, varies,
depending upon the receiving and the user.
Know that the worldly gifts
of known value, however pricey,
can be rebought and can be snatched away
from you by the threat of a higher bid.
But divine gifts,
once received, can be lost to no other than your own self.
Yes! With the constant effort of spiritual disciplines
and untouched faith, one receives them.
Then the slightest wavering,
the smallest carelessness,
the littlest laziness can drain the strength
and can steal the luster of the divine shine,
almost as quickly as it was received!
