His Soft Whispers......heard in the still quietness of my prayer closet

The Mind of Christ
Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength. The second is this: 'Love your neighbor as yourself. There is no commandment greater than these." Mark 12
There is no greater love but that a man give his life for his friends.
Love one another as I have Loved you. John 15
Father, I understand the principle, but the power to obtain this type of Love can only come From You. I can even want to love my neighbor as myself or give my life for my friends but I must be moved with Your Compassion. Even to completely love You, being this is the only desire that I have, my humanity will stop me from totally giving myself as it seems to be only concerned with it’s own survival.
“I AM The Power by which you live, as I AM giving My Life. The power that you have is only what I give you, as we are One. You are only a part, one of many, within Me. Your neighbor is yourself as you are only a part of a greater whole.”
So self protection is not so bad with the understanding that I have a much greater self, being only a part of a whole. I can see and I can understand what you are saying but I do not feel love for my neighbor outside of Your Compassion.
“Why are you outside of My Compassion?”
Because I do not understand how to get in Your Compassion.
“You are in.”
Why am I still filled with judgment. I want to give my love to those that I feel deserve it, not just to everyone. It seems like such a waste of time to give of yourself to those that do not care.
“How else will they ever know that caring exists?”
So if I am just a part of a greater whole, and I still insist on judging, before loving, then I am actually judging myself, still wondering why You Love me? Oh my, that ever present searching for that knowledge of good and evil. Why can’t we just let You Be God? Is this going back to Adam and the decision that he made, but why does that still apply to me? I do not want to be my own god nor do I want to be the god of others, but the ever present desire to judge…to size up every situation before I encounter it…
“It applies to you because you are Adam but there is a second Adam that has made The Greater Choice, of which you are a small part of a greater whole. That Man Adam That has given His Life, first to Me and has given His Life for many whereby they must be saved. There is only One. The first Adam took his life unto himself and separated himself away, even though I never allowed him to be lost, as I never let him go, as he came from Me he will also return to Me.”
So that knowledge that he desired so, to make his own decisions, and to completely be on his own, You never really allowed him to do so because You would have lost him. You just allowed him to 'think' that he was on his own and that he was capable of making his own decisions? You were then, and always will be, in complete control of Your Creation.
“Correct.”
Oh How Good You Are! But You Are His Father, what else could You have done. You allowed for the destruction of his flesh in order to save his soul. So the death of the flesh was really a good thing. So I really can love others as myself because they are myself. With You AS My God of course. Because You Are, As Always, still in complete control, even if I think that I am in complete rebellion against Your Love, You Are still in control and will not allow Your Children to be destroyed by me or anyone or anything else, because the destruction of the flesh is a good thing, correct?
“Correct.”
You know that this is sooooooo much bigger than my brain, but I want so much to live this understanding.
“Remember iron sharpens iron. It’s ok to be hurt. I Will Not Allow anyone total destruction. I Will Never Lose You. I Will Never Leave You. Not One Will Be Lost. Even if that were to be your choice, I would never allow you to be separated from Me. I may allow you to 'think' that you are for as you say, the destruction of the flesh, but I AM Still Here, you are still here. We Still Are.”
