2 October:
Each of you is most intent upon being of service to others. We applaud this desire. But the spirit of love must be nourished. And we encourage each of you to be most careful to offer the self that heavenly food which makes being of service to others possible.
For to give from oneself is to deplete oneself. To give through oneself is simply an act of service to others. And to open that shuttle through oneself, one must find that which is most helpful in establishing the feeling of unity with the Creator in Christ.
Give to yourself the permission to seek and to enjoy deeply and digest heavenly food, whatever it is that the spirit may give to you. Realize that the spirit of which we are representatives--for many different kinds of people need many different kinds of Comforters--is omnipresent. You cannot be without the spirit of unconditional love, for this lies within you.
Find it and open it, that your service to others may be no burden to you but instead a delight and a joy.
