Command Your Lord - May 22

Lord, I claim Thy Help.

YES! claim, be constantly claiming. There is a trust that waits long, and a trust that brooks no delay-that once convinced of the right of a course, one sure of God's guidance, says with all the persistence of a child, "Now." "Make no long tarrying, oh, my God."

You are no longer servants but friends. A friend can command his friend-can know that all the friend, the true friend, has is his by right. That does not mean an idle living at the expense of a friend, but the claiming the friend's means: name, time, all that he has, when your supply is exhausted.

Friendship-true friendship, implies the right to appropriate. And in God's service is perfect freedom. Heirs of God-you are joint heirs with me in the inheritance. We share the Father's property. You have the same right to use and claim as I have. Use your right. A beggar supplicates. A son, a daughter, appropriates.

Small wonder when I see My children sitting before My House supplicating and waiting-that I leave them there until they realize how foolish such action, when they have only a walk into their Home and take.

This cannot be the attitude of all. There must be first a definite realization of Sonship.
