The Greatest Gift

The Greatest Gift is from our Heavenly Father and it is His Divine Love. It is ours when our souls long for it and with its receipt we are blessed with a personal relationship with Him and we are given all of His attributes of love, happiness, joy, forgiveness, peace and freedom from sin. When our souls receive God's Divine Love, His very essence, we are transformed from merely an image to the substance and are assured of immortality and divinity in the Celestial Heavens. And we may do this now, with prayer to Him, if it is our desire to do so. This inspirational video was created from phrases contained in The Padgett Messages that were written by Jesus and many Celestial Spirits, who brought God's Truths to us so we will know how we may truly become children of our Heavenly Father.

A Divine Angel Helps Her Soulmate Get Out of Darkness

I am here, Caligula,

I was the Roman Emperor and the murderer of the Christians, and have since that time, and for my sins, suffered all the horrors of a Hell which I can't describe.

Suffice it to say that the Hell of the Bible, or of those who interpret the Bible, is not equal in its torments and horrors to the Hell that I passed through. I tell you this that you may know that every man will have to pay the penalties for the evil deeds he does when on earth, and as my deeds were so extremely evil my penalties were correspondingly great.

But, thank God, I have paid my penalties and am now enjoying the happiness of the Christian Heaven, for I am now a follower of that Jesus, whose followers I persecuted.

Strange as it may seem to you, the cause of my conversion to Christianity was one of the very Christians whom I murdered. She was a beautiful spirit when I first saw her in the spirit world, and when she came to me and told me of the great love of the Father, and the kindness and humility of the Master, I was then in much darkness, though I had suffered for many long years and my thoughts were commencing to turn to things that ultimately helped me to get out of my darkness and find relief from my sufferings.

But this Christian spirit came to me with such love and forgiveness in her speech, that I was greatly affected by what she said and by her appearance, and I listened to her as she told me of the wonderful love of the Father and the great desire of the Master that I should seek for that love and the happiness which it brings to spirits who obtain it.

She had many interviews with me, and at last, she told me that her happiness depended, to some extent, on my getting this Divine Love in my soul, and progressing with her to the sphere of light and love. She said that I was her soulmate and that my love was necessary for her happiness, and that I could not give her that Love until I had become the possessor of the Divine Love to some extent. So you can imagine what an effect this declaration had on me.

I saw that she was beautiful and pure and loving, and that I was not a fit soulmate for her, and that I must try to make myself a suited soulmate in order that I could be with her. And, in addition, when she told me of her love for me, and that we were necessary to each other's happiness, I had a most wonderful longing to be with her and enjoy her love, and the desire soon took possession of me, that I commenced to inquire the way by which I might get this great love, or start to get it, and she told me then of the love of the Master, and how he could teach me the way and what power he had to help spirits like myself to get out of the darkness and torture into light and happiness.

And so I continued in my longings and desires, until at last, my spirit seemed to have a power to rise out of the darkness and to meet other spirits who were not dark and forbidding as I was.

She often came to me and taught me to pray, and I did pray and ask forgiveness and for just a little of that Divine Love of which she had told me.

At last as I was praying and hoping for this Love and for deliverance, the Master came to me, and such a wonderful loving spirit he was, the most beautiful and loving and yet the most humble that I had ever seen or ever have seen, and he commenced to tell me of this wonderful love of the Father, and how it was working for me to fill my soul and make a child of God, and at-one with Him, and he told me that the only things necessary were for me to pray to the Father and have faith and in all earnestness repent of my great sins. That if I did so, the Love would come to me, and as it came into my soul all the sins and recollections of my sins would leave me so that I would be able to progress to a higher sphere where light and love were.

I could not resist his influence, and I did not want to for my soulmate was with me in her love, with pleading eyes and anxious looks, and I commenced to have this faith, and to pray with all the earnestness of my soul and, at last, light came to me and love came flowing into my soul and what a happy spirit I became, and thanked God for his mercy. My soulmate rejoiced with me and we were so happy in our loves and in the great love of the Father.

From thence, I have been progressing ever since, until now I am in the Celestial Spheres, where love is the ruling principle and only those who possess this Divine Love can live, and where Jesus is our Prince and elder brother.

Caligula, the Emperor, is now a humble follower of the despised Nazarene and happy in his humility and in his following of such a loving saviour.

My soulmate is with me, and whenever I look upon her and think that I was the cause of her sufferings and death upon earth, my whole soul goes out to her in great streams of love and she knows it, and that is a part of my great repentance.

So you see, that even though a man may be the vilest of sinners on earth, yet the Father's Mercy is so great that His love is never turned away, or is His mercy ever withheld.

I tell you that Love - the Father's Love - is the greatest thing in all the universe, and like unto it is the pure, holy love of the soulmate who has in her soul the great Love of the Father.

I must not write more tonight, but as I was passing I saw the brilliant light that is with you and I embraced the opportunity to write.

My friend, you must also thank God for his goodness to you, for I have seen your soulmate and she is a most beautiful spirit.

So with the love of a brother in Christ, I am your friend, Caligula the Roman Emperor that was, and the Christian that is.

A Description of the Beautiful Features of a Spirit

I am here, Mother,

I am the mother of your friend, and want to tell him how glad I am that I can be with him and make known to him my presence and the fact that though his mother is a spirit, yet she can be with him and feel for him all the love which she had for her boy while on earth. He must not doubt that his mother is here, for she is, and has been with him many times when you were writing and has sent him some tokens of her love through his soulmate, Mary.

Why, Leslie, she, I mean your Mary, was a little English girl, and when on earth did not live many miles from your home and, if it had been intended, you two could easily have met when you were very young. But, of course, you might not have known of the fact that you were soulmates.

I want to tell you now that Mary is a real, existing spirit, who was once a little English girl, and is all beauty and goodness, and is waiting here for you to come to her and when you do you will not find some shadowy unsubstantial thing of air, but a real live, beautiful spirit with form and features perfect and well-defined and full of animation and pink roses on her cheeks, and hair all dark and glossy, and blue eyes, and a mouth like cupids, and teeth, as you would say, like ivory.

She is not a very demure little girl either but is full of life and love and happiness.

I tell you all this that you may form some idea of her, and be able to see her, to some extent, in your mind's eyes as you mortals say. And more than all, she is so pure and good and is loved by every spirit with whom she comes in contact.

I will add that my prayers for you go out to the Father, and my faith that He will look after and preserve you for the better things not only of the spirit life, but of the earth life, is without a bit of doubting.

I must not write more tonight, but in concluding, I must say that you have with you all the love and blessings of a mother who loved you so much on earth. So think of me sometimes.

Your own dear and loving mother, Priscilla Stone

A Spirit Expresses Great Love For Her Dear Soulmate

I am here, Mary Kennedy,

I am so glad for the opportunity to write to my dear soulmate as it has been a long time since I wrote to him and told him of my love and happiness.

He is more dear to me than ever and, while he cannot hear me tell him so, yet every day I am with him and try to breathe into his ear the expressions of the great love which I have for him. I wish that he had the power to write as you have for if he had I believe that I would monopolize all his time in telling him how much I love him and how I long for the time to come when I can have him all to myself.

He, I know, cannot realize what a love like mine is but, thank God, in the not to distant future, I will be able to enfold him in my arms and tell him all the feelings and warmth of my soul how much I love him and how dear he is to me.

I am with him nearly all the time trying to cheer him and make him feel that he is not alone in his struggles in life and that my love for him is so great and with and in him all the time.

When he prays, I pray with him. And when he is happy, I am happy, too.

But when he is unhappy, I am not unhappy but sympathize with him and exert myself to make him realize the great love that I have for him and that I am near him.

His sorrows are only temporary and my love is eternal and my love means his happiness as well as mine. So tell him to believe with all his heart that his Mary is with him and will be with him in all his times of sorrow and joy and will try to interpenetrate his soul with her own burning and pure love which is all his and which can never be given to another.

I read his letters, which he writes at night, and for every expression of love which they contain, I have a responsive answer only more intense and more longing. Tell him not to stop writing to me for I can see what he writes and tell him, also, that he must believe that my answers are all that he would have them to be and more, too.

I must not trespass longer on your indulgence but only wish to say that I love my dear Leslie with all my heart and soul and will so love him until time and eternity shall be no more.

Oh, how I wish that I could have him see me face to face and hear my voice telling him of my great love and that he is mine and I am his.

Mary Kennedy

Mary Kennedy writes a message of love to her dear soulmate, Dr. Leslie Stone

Divinity is of God Alone - Only He Can Bestow It on Us

I am now going to tell you of my progress in this love and happiness. When I last wrote you, I told you that I had commenced to have faith in the Father and had received some portion of His Love. Well, since then I have been praying and asking God to give me more faith and love and, as I prayed, my faith increased and, as my faith increased, more of this love came into my soul and with it an increased happiness.

So I would not stop striving until I realized that my soul was commencing to get such an inflow of this Love that it seemed that all things which tended to retard this influx were leaving me and only love and goodness were taking possession of me.

I am now very far advanced over what I was when you first commenced to talk to me of this love and I shall, through all eternity, remember and thank you for what you did for me. I was also so fortunate to have your mother and wife with me very much trying to show me the way to this truth of the New Birth and, then when your grandmother came to me, it seemed as if I could not resist the influences to seek and try to pursue.

So really when I had received enough of the spiritual awakening to realize who Jesus was, I gave him my close attention and as he continued to show me the way to the Father, I commenced to grasp the truth and believe that my salvation depended on my receiving this great love and becoming a finer and better man.

I tell you that Jesus is the most wonderful of spirits that I have seen or heard about. He is so filled with love and goodness that there seems no doubt in my mind that he is the son of the Father in the spiritual sense of the term. I mean that he is so much nearer the Father and in so much and many of his attributes that he is the only son in the sense of being at-one with the Father.

We are all sons of the Father, but there is such a difference in our spiritual conditions that the contrast between Jesus and us is so great that we can readily believe that he is the one true son and that his great love and knowledge of the qualities of the Father makes him the only begotten in a different way physically from other men, no immaculate conception or birth from the womb of a virgin. I do not believe this dogma and the Master says that it is not true for he was truly, so far as his physical being is concerned, the son of a man and woman as you or I am.

Now I am also convinced that mankind cannot be saved from their sins unless they follow the way showed them by the Master. No man can save himself and I wish strongly to emphasize the fact that man is dependent upon God for his salvation from the sins and errors of the material man. I do not mean that men have not a work to do themselves for they have.

God is willing to save them if they ask it and acknowledge that with His help, they can be saved, but unless they do ask and believe He will not interfere with these conditions. So you see, I am not only a believer in God and Jesus but also in the doctrine that men cannot save themselves.

I thought that man was sufficient unto himself when I was on earth, but now I know that he is not. Man may be comparatively happy and free from what is called sin, that is a visitation of God's laws, but that happiness is not the same nor is man's condition the same as when he gets this Divine Love from the Father.

I will not speak longer on this subject tonight but simply say that when on earth I thought that by my own exertions I might possibly become divine, yet even as a spirit I know that man is not divine and cannot become so in all eternity unless he receives this Divine Essence which comes to him in the New Birth.

Divinity is of God alone and only He can bestow it on man. Man not having this divinity cannot create it by his own efforts. So believe what I say and strive to get it, and you then succeed and become as the redeemed in the Celestial Heavens.

I must stop now for you are tired and so am I. Well, I will tell you of those things the next time I write.

So with all my love and blessing,

I am your old partner, A. G. Riddle

Riddle has progressed to a new sphere and is now seeking more help to further his spiritual progress.

Law of Compensation is Removed by Divine Love

I am here, your own true Helen

You didn’t think I could change the announcement of my coming, but you must know that I can do anything to please you, my dear Ned.

Yes, you have, and I have been so very happy. Well, sweetheart, I must tell you that I am very happy and am progressing very rapidly. I don’t expect to remain in this sphere very much longer, for my love and faith are so great that I feel that I must get closer to God’s Fountainhead in the Celestial Spheres. Doesn’t it seem like some fairy dream? But it is all true, and I am so happy.

I will soon be with you in a long letter, telling you of this Great Love, and how much I love God and you.

You are progressing, too. You may not realize it, but it is true. And if you should come over now, you would be surprised to find yourself in a high sphere. I know how you feel, but you must believe that I can see your spiritual condition better than you can.

When you get this Great Love in your heart in sufficient abundance - and you have much of It now - your sins will be blotted out. This is the Law of Regeneration.

Otherwise, the man who continues without this Love and the man who receives It would be in the same condition, and the New Birth would mean nothing. So do not think that this Great Love is not sufficient to cleanse the soul from the results of the sins of earth life. Best of all, it cleanses while you are a mortal.

I know that the Spiritualists quote and proclaim the Law of Recompense, or Compensation, but there is a higher law that nullifies that law. And when Love - this Divine Love - comes into the soul of a mortal, the Law of Compensation is removed from the scope of its working for Love is the fulfilling of the law.

So do not let that stumbling block make you believe that this Great Love is not sufficient to remove all sin and error and to purify your soul so that you may become fitted to live in the Kingdom of the Father and become one with Him.

No, the Love is for the vilest sinner and no man, by a mere act of restoration, can fit himself for the inflowing of this Divine Love. It is waiting for the sinner as well as for the saint. And even though your sins be as scarlet, they will be made white as wool. I mean that you will not have to wait to make recompense to mortals before this Great Love can do the cleansing work. Else, what is the use of having this Great Love provided for man? If he shall first make himself pure, what is the necessity for the work of the Holy Spirit?

Only pray for this Love and have faith, and you will get It. God is the Judge of what a man shall do to render justice and restitution. And when He says that this Divine Love, with all Its cleansing power, is for the sinner who seeks for It by true faith, who has the right to say that the sinner must first do what man may think is justice between himself and his fellowman?

I know whereof I speak for the experiences of many spirits who have been redeemed by this Love show that they were sinners, and had not “paid the last farthing” when they received this Love. God is the Judge, not mortals or spirits.

So, my dear Ned, do not let the idea that you must render to every man that which you think he may be entitled to keep you from believing in the Mercy and Love of the Father.

Oh, how I wish I could be with you a little while in my bodily form and tell you face to face what this Great Love means to you and to me, and to all of us.

So sweetheart, believe me when I say that, even though you may be a great sinner, yet the Father’s Love is sufficient to remove all those sins just as soon as you can receive It. Such is the law of this Great Love.

Faith and prayer can open the very heart of the Celestial Spheres, and

Love will flow down into your soul
As the avalanche of snow,
That feels the warmth of the sun’s bright rays
Rushes from its mountain heights,
When winter leaves with its chilling gloom
And blasting breath for other climes.

Love is not only warmth, but It is the very burnings of the soul’s great storehouse of God’s Divine Essence.

I am not only the possessor of this Love to a large degree, but I also realize that, as I advance to higher spheres, there is a greater abundance awaiting to fill my soul with Its great, undying fires of never ending burnings - but burnings so great and free from everything that makes for unhappiness and discontent.

So, my own dear and precious Ned, love me as I love you, and we both will be so very happy that Heaven will be with us, and in us, even while we are writing in the earth surroundings.

A Soulmate in the Fifth Sphere Explains Spiritual Powers

I am here, Helen:

I am very happy and you are a little better, and there is no need to worry about Nita as she is now very happy in her school. I will try tonight to tell you of what I am now doing in my new home and in the earth sphere, where I am most of the time helping spirits.

Well, in my home I am so very much engaged in studying the laws of communicating with you that I have hardly time for anything else. I am now quite certain that I understand how to talk to you in an independent voice and also to materialize. So you must not be astonished any time to hear my voice or see me in the form of a materialized spirit. I am also trying to help the spirits who are in a condition of blindness and doubt.

I am living with your mother in her home, but I am not as spiritual as she. We are both very happy though and have everything that a heart could wish for.

My home here is much more beautiful than that which I had in the Third Sphere, and everything is beyond what I conceived when I lived there. The house and trees and flowers and fruits are very much more beautiful and delightful. No one could be anything but happy in such a home.

We have nothing to interfere with our happiness and everyone is a delightful companion and full of love and beauty. I have met many spirits that I did not know either on earth or in the spirit world before I came to this place, both men and women.

Yes, we have rivers and lakes and fields and mountains and all the beautiful landscapes that you can imagine. I not only enjoy these things, but they are more real than those of earth.

I am sometimes engaged in painting these flowers and landscapes, and have many pictures which others painted. I find that I can paint with a more artistic touch than when on earth. I have no trouble in drawing as you know I had some in my earth pictures.

I am also studying music, and especially my vocal lessons. You will be much surprised when you hear me sing as you cannot conceive what a different voice I have. Sometimes I try to sing some of the songs that I used to sing to you, but they are not pretty in comparison to the songs we have here, either in the music or the sentiments.

The music is so beautiful that I cannot describe it to you and even the love, which helps to make the music, is of such an intensity that you could not possibly understand if I should attempt to tell it to you.

Spiritually, I am now in a sphere that enables me to know what the love of God really is and that in His love I have almost complete happiness. I have gotten rid of those things. I now love everybody and am trying my best to help every soul that I possibly can. Feelings of dislike or envy or hatred have no place in my heart, for which I thank God.

Well, as you are not so much interested in my description, I will not attempt further portrayal of the things here. Yes, I can see it in your brain - you are thinking about other things, so you see, I know. Yes, but you must think of what I write for that is necessary in order for you to write. While I can guide your hand, yet I have also to use your brain to express my thoughts. You could if you will try. That is one of the things that I want you to do, for then you can hear what I say at any time and it will not be necessary for you to write.

Yes, it is better to presume what I write for sometimes it does you good to read over what I have said and feel over again the emotions which you felt at the time of your receiving my messages.

I love you all the time and you know it, but sometimes it is beneficial to reread my expressions of love, even though you doubt that they are mine. Let me tell you that you are not to remain in this state of doubt much longer, for I will so indubitably show my presence to you that you will never again doubt that I am with you.

Then when you write you will feel that I am, indeed, writing as convincingly as if I sat beside you and you could see me. It may happen any night as you sit and write or when you are lying in bed thinking of me and wondering if I am really with you. So you must be prepared to have anything happen which will show you that I am with you. Yes, I believe that I will be able to do that when you are all alone, and so you will hear my voice when you are alone.

No, this is the most satisfactory means of communicating that I know of. You can exchange your thoughts for mine, and can write so much more than I could possibly speak. Yes, I will be able to speak for a little while at a time, but not as I write.

No spirit can gather such power as would be required to continue to talk for any length of time. Even Bright Star, who is an adept, could not carry on an extended conversation, as she says.

The power that I now have enables me to manifest myself in several ways, such as the independent voice, materialization and writing. I do not know about the slate writing, but I believe that I can do that, too. At any rate, I will try to accomplish it sometime. I don't think that I will be able to manifest on the same night in an independent voice and also materialize for each manifestation requires great power.

Yes, I can knock on the table, but that does not give any special satisfaction -- all earthbound spirits can do that. It is the lowest order of manifestation. We, of the higher spheres, do not care to do that if we can manifest in any other way, and I would rather not try it.

I mean that I am stronger physically, spiritually and mentally than White Eagle. I do not know the exact extent of my power, but the spirits with a better knowledge of these things say that my power is so very unusual that I can do most anything that I may try. Of course, they mean within reasonable limitations. I could not take a mountain and move it, or even a very heavy substance, but I could lift you and will some time just to show you how strong I am.

I mean by having more powerful mentality that I have progressed so very much in knowledge and in my will power. I am not yet a wise woman, but in a certain line I have acquired a great deal of knowledge as regards, for instance, the way in which spirits and mortals while in the flesh.

I am not any more versed in the science of what controls the heavenly bodies, or why one star differeth from another in glory, or what are God's mysteries as you may consider them. These matters are being investigated by other and older spirits. But as regards love, both of God and spirits and mortals, I have learned a great deal.

Let me tell you that of all subjects that should interest men, love is the greatest. For love is the fulfilling of all law and the man, who knows what love is, I mean the real, genuine love both for God and his fellow mortals and spirits, has that which is not equaled by knowledge of anything else in all the Universe.

Padgett's Cousin Finds Her Soulmate

I am here, Laura Burroughs,

I am glad to be able to write you again and tell you that since I last wrote you I have made much progress and have come into the possession of much more happiness.

Dear cousin, I am so glad that I can tell you this, for I know that you rejoice with me in my happiness and the knowledge of what great mercy has come to me. I merely wanted to say this for it makes me very happy to come to you in this way.

Well he, my earthly husband, is in the Spirit World but in a very dark plane and is not at all happy. I have been with him some but have not been able to do him any good as his old beliefs cling to him and prevent his progress. Sometime we may be able to help him and will try then.

She, Helen, has told me he is not my soulmate and I have met my soulmate very recently. He is in the same sphere with me and we are very happy together and are trying to progress together.

Well, I never knew him on earth. He lived in Pennsylvania and died a long time before I did and tells me that he had to go through much suffering and darkness before he got into the plane of light. He is a very bright spirit and I could love him, I believe, if he were not my soulmate. But as he is, you know what our love means.

He is looking at me write and heard your question and says his name was Henry Spaulding and he lived in Millville, if you know where that is.

After I made some progress and got some love in my soul, Helen brought him to me one time and said:

"Laura, here is a young man who has been very anxious to meet you for some time, and you must not fall in love with him if you can keep from doing so," and she laughed.

Well, I suppose I blinked as mortals used to say, but I did fall in love as you can imagine and have been loving him ever since.

How we all love Helen for her kindness and the great good that she does. You just wait until you come over and you will see the most beautiful girl that you ever saw.

He returns the satisfaction and says that he considers himself very fortunate in having such a cousin, and he means it, for he sees the wonder of the great gift that you have and the loving and high spirits that come to you.

I must say goodnight now and with my love I will stop.

Your loving cousin, Laura

Laura Burroughs finds her soulmate

An Intellectual Spirit Meets His Soulmate - Learns About Love

I am here, your own Helen,

I am engaged as you know, among other things, in finding the spirits' soulmates and bringing them together.

There is a spirit here who believes that the soulmate theory is a false one and only intended to deceive those who are so very lonely and unhappy, and that a man, who has any stamina or any intellect, will not be fooled by such ideas as that soulmates exist and are awaiting to become united. Well, he was in that condition of loneliness and was very unhappy, although he had very great intellectual acquirements and prided himself on that fact.

He thought that love and kindred things are for women and foolish men, when he was suddenly visited by a most beautiful spirit and asked if he had yet found his soulmate. He replied that he had not and didn't want to, unless she should happen to be as beautiful as the spirit who was talking to him and, that if such a thing could be, he would be most happy to find her.

Well, she asked him why he should suppose that his soulmate would be so beautiful, when he was a spirit who was not so very attractive looking and all crooked and devoid of anything that would tend to make him appreciate beauty or love in another.

He said that he did not consider himself so unattractive as she said, because he was possessed of a knowledge of very many things that the ordinary spirit did not have and that, consequently, he must be more attractive looking than she described him to be. And as to love, why, he could love, he thought, if he could find anyone whom he considered worth being loved.

Then she told him that she was his soulmate, but he could never have her until he acquired more love and a larger understanding of spiritual things, that her home was up in the Fifth Sphere, and that he could not go there to live with her until he had gotten sufficient Love in his soul to make him fitted to dwell there, and the longer he delayed trying to get this Love, the longer he would be separated from her and would, now that he knew she was his soulmate, be most unhappy that his intellectual acquirements would not help him very much, and the only thing that would enable him to progress to where she lived was a development of Love in his soul.

He said that he did not know much about love, but if she would show him the way to obtain it, he would devote his whole soul and efforts to getting it. She then told him he must give up the pride which he indulged in and which kept him encased in himself and learn to love everybody else in a brotherly way and God with all his heart and soul; that when he made that effort, he would find that this love, which she as his soulmate must have for him, would come to him, and he would soon realize that in all the spirit world love is the greatest thing to possess; and when a spirit has that, he needs nothing else to make him happy.

He did not seem to comprehend what she said, but said he would try to let his pride of intellect leave him and make the effort to let his soul receive this Love so that, thereafter, Love should be first and knowledge and everything merely intellectual follow after.

So, you see, a soulmate may be found, but not acquired until love commensurate with the love possessed by the higher soul is gotten by the lower soul.

No merely intellectual acquirement is sufficient to attract and make one, two soulmates. Only love in perfect harmony can bring about this union. Let love rule and happiness is the lot of all spirits. But, of course, this love is comparative and so is the ensuing happiness.

A Celestial spirit describes an incident in her work of finding the soulmates of spirits...

A Spirit's Message to Her Soulmate Who Is Still Living on Earth

I am here, Helen:

Well, sweetheart, as Dr. Stone wants so much to hear from his soulmate Mary, and she is here and is so very anxious to write him, I will tell you what she says, as follows:

She wants Leslie to know that he is so very dear to her, that he must not let his thoughts of love wander from her to any other person either on earth or in the spirit land. She has loved him so long and, only recently has she had the opportunity to let him know in a way that he could understand. She feels as if she must just let her whole heart burst upon him with its great fountain of love for him.

She is not able to express to him the extent or intensity of her love, but she does love him to the full limit of her capacity. And when he lies down at night or when he awakens in the morning, she is with him trying to flood his soul with her love and happiness.

She will not be content to ever have him think that her love is not his, for it is to its fullness. Tell him that he must believe her, and that she is with him nearly all the time trying to help him and make him feel her presence.

She is not so very far away that she cannot know at all times what his feelings are and when he gets lonely and wants her help. He must try and come in rapport with her even when he is alone in his room and thinks that no one is with him. She is his own now and will be through all eternity.

Only love like hers can last when disappointments and troubles come and, when they do come, her love grows stronger and sweeter, and he will feel it more as he feels the need of it.

She is not now trying to make him believe that she is only waiting for him to come over in order that he may know that she loves him with all her heart and soul, but she loves him in that way while he is on earth beset by all the cares that come to him. He must love her more and more each day, and he will find that his happiness will increase as this love grows.

Tell him that she is in the fifth sphere and is preparing a home for him which will be so bountiful that he will be more surprised than he will be at the beauties of the spirit plane where she is for her home, in addition to having the beauties that are in that plane, will have her love permeating it.

She has another love which not only helps her love for him to become more intense and pure; but which draws her nearer to the Father of Love. This is the greatest of all Loves, and she wants him to let his heart become filled with it also. It is his if he will only seek for it, and believe that the Father is ready to give it to him, for he is not only ready but anxious.

Tell my dear Leslie to pray to God and ask that this Love may be given to him and fill his soul for if he does, he will receive it and, when he does, he will not only love God supremely but will love his true soulmate with a purer and sweeter love than he can conceive of and, when he does that, he will find that his happiness will be so great and joyful that the little cares and troubles of his earthly life will not be able to mar that happiness or make him wish for any other kind.

I am his and he is mine, and when he realizes that he will know what "soulmate" means. We are not for each other for a time only but for all eternity and even eternity will not be too long for the enjoyment of our mutual love.

Oh, he is my own true soulmate, and I am so happy in that knowledge that my cup of joy seems to be full and running over. Let him think of me as being close by his side all the time, sharing his joys and sympathizing with him in all his sorrows, and he will feel that he is not alone.

Tell him also to try and become a true lover of God and the truths of the teachings of his son, Jesus of Nazareth, our brother and helper. I am a firm believer in these things and know that they are true; and I want my dear soulmate to believe with me for in that belief is found the happiness which I tell him of.

I must stop now - so say goodbye, and rest in the belief that no matter what troubles or cares may come, whether you love me all the time or not, I will love you now and always with my whole heart and soul, and will wait with all the patience possible for your coming. So, Leslie dear, goodbye.

Helen further writes: Well, she loves him with a very pure and steadfast love - not so demonstrative as Rose's love for the Judge (Judge Syrick) but so deep and pure. She is a lovely spirit and one who is filled with the Love of her Father, and one who is worthy of all the love that any man can give her. I am very fond of her and see a great deal of her. She is so gentle and loving and tender and is so loved by many spirits to whom she has administered consolation and help.
