The Quality of Mercy in Justice

     That God is just is perhaps the most wonderful fact in the universe, at least to mankind living on the earth today. On the blessed planet earth, individuals seem to feel that life at times is hard, cold, and unresponsive. I am so joyful to tell you that but a glimpse into our consciousness would show you how contrary to truth this is, for we see only the glorious heart of God pulsing with all the love of eternity, radiating out rainbowlike ribbons and streamers of light and love everywhere every hour.

     If you, then, would enter more often into the Ascended-Master state of being, you would soon find an answer to your every quest. You would soon know the faith that lives to dispel every doubt, somewhat as the rising sun disperses the dew upon the ground. To rise in consciousness with the Ascended Jesus Christ and others of our lovely band is to know and to be All-Light. Then the pangs you presently feel at times when you see mankind's struggling under a weight of temporary despair and confusion are all vanquished in a blaze of God's beauty.

     Now, inasmuch as Mercy is so very much a part of Justice - that is to say, of true Justice, which is God's Law - I am confident that those of you today who will give my words your full attention will never again know a sense of frustration in connection with the dispensing of justice or balance by Divine Law to mankind through their own self-created karma - known also as the Law of the Circle, which always returns to the sender whatever is sent out.

     You see, then, all who send out only love can receive only love in return. Those who send out an opposing quality must by Law receive back what they have sent, which returns to them for redemption and requalification as the mercy of Life. This affords mankind an opportunity to make things right when mistakes are made.

     That is why I am called the Goddess of Opportunity as well as the Goddess of Justice. You see, I am a real being, and I tell you with blessed assurance that the Law always presents an opportunity with every experience in order to provide a way of escape for everyone from all binding conditions or situations, persons, places, or things into the realm of their own blessed God-freedom.

     This is the merciful (full of mercy) aspect of the Law of God. This is the self-evident divine intent manifesting its Love wherever consciousness manifests in human forms, no matter how deluded or troubled that lifestream may be. Love has the infinite capacity to enfold its entire creation within the flames of its own heart, where the very pulse of salvation rises and is sent forth as the quality of mercy which lives eternally and beautifully in the mind and heart of God.

     Were it not for this quality in the universe operative as universal Law, whenever consciousness dipped below the standards of the infinite purposes, it would flame out and be no more. It is, therefore, Love's mercy that perpetuates life in many bodies, on many spheres, even in many substandard states, until, by the pressures of wholehearted acceptance, individuals can love God more than the finite changing self, thus overcoming that self and drawing into their being all those capacities and virtues of the Godhead which will automatically give them their own ascension into that perfection from which they sprang. This Jesus and others did.

     It is Mercy, you see, and Wisdom that create space and time as conscious spans of eternity in which individuals can work out their own salvation - eventually without fear and trembling! For perfect love casts out all fear. As Matter scientifically cannot be destroyed or created but can only change form, so life cannot be destroyed or created because it is God. True Justice, then, would have men create in their own consciousness, by mercy, a God made in the image of the Most High. Mankind have too long created in their own image, and that without mercy to one another.

     The fostering upon this planet and its evolutions of all qualities of horror, fear, or illusion have only served to make men sick. However, regardless of the present accumulation of human effluvia, the mercy of God has let health prevail during the numbered days of most men and women. A form of happiness and some hope (after a fashion) prevails, too, through most men's mortal days, but it is the divinely inspired and whispered hope of immortality that stirs the hearts of men and fans its fires.

     "Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit" is a mantram to Divine Mercy, Trust, and Justice. It is the committing of all life manifesting through one's consciousness into the care of the Eternal with the full confidence and faith of the heart. It produces results because it is Divine Law in action, producing a balanced justice which thus becomes Divine Opportunity flowering equally for every one as heavenly hope.

     Fear no longer the Great Law, but rather revere it intensely, seeing it as God-Love and God-Mercy in action. By so looking upon the Law of God as just and as love in action, men will no longer find a sense of frustration or chastisement therein, but rather will see Justice and Law as the doorway of Mercy, daily opening its portals through every experience of their lives, which thus leads them from initiation to initiation, from glory unto glow-ray into the Promised Land, connecting them now by rainbow ribbons of electronic light substance to God's own heart.

     No sense of an unjust universe ought to exist. No sense of separation ought longer to hurt or destroy, and it shall not in the holy mount of attainment. Justice always rises to become opportunity. Fear becomes, through love, the consciousness of enfolding mercy until, at last, committed hearts offer to God, the I AM Presence, all that they are without reservation. Then do hands of divine confidence draw from the head (which is Christ, the Light) all that the lifestream so doing requires to fulfill its plan and purpose and win its victory of the ascension right now today.

     I AM God's merciful Justice affording you daily opportunity to be raised into the Light.

     Your own,

Portia
Goddess of Justice and Opportunity,
