The Father says today that I am not asking you for extreme sacrifices or the adopting of a radical asceticism to prove your devotion to Me. You are not required to perform extraordinary feats of suffering to satisfy My requirements for your life. As I said in My word, they will know you are My disciple not by any such things but by YOUR LOVE for others. Purpose and devote yourself to reflect My love and My nature in your daily interactions with the people I place in your path. Open yourself today, and allow yourself to permit My love to move through you toward others without imposing any conditions or seeking any personal gain in return. Make a firm decision in your heart to extend kindness to those who are difficult to deal with and who do not deserve your favor, or show even the slightest appreciation in return. This is the primary standard I have set for your conduct, because this is what love does, and love being who I AM is therefore who I desire you to be.
Prophet Russ - I declare that the love of God is sufficient for every challenge - Today!
Do not concern yourself with the rigid rules or the religious expectations of people who claim to guard My reputation while ignoring these weightier matters of mercy, kindness, forgiveness, and yes, generosity. Absence of these things, absence of generosity springs from a lack mentality that derives from the world and the fallen condition, not befitting one such as yourself - seated at My right hand in the heavenlies. I am calling you to a life defined by unconditional tenderness toward the harsh, the ignorant, and the unlovely. When you choose to love the most stubborn and resistant individuals, you will find that genuine joy and laughter return to your inner being. This path will produce every necessary quality of My character that I desire to see manifested in your life. Focus exclusively on this single requirement of love, and you will experience a sense of freedom that the legalistic mind and religious prejudice will never comprehend.
