Into a desert, each one of you will go, until you hunger and thirst for Me. I pray you recognize your position before Me. Be careful, children, that it is YOU who does not recognize the Bread of Life in your midst!

I tell you this: The enemy plants seeds of pride which can seem like nourishment along the way. Be very wary of what you have come to believe if it does not concern yourself with the belief I expect of you in My Church!

How is it you behave with one another? Are you recognizable as part of My lambs? Or are you more identifiable as being raised by the wolves in your midst? Have they left their imprint upon you? Has deception supplanted Truth within you? What is it you are thriving upon, My lambs?

To relinquish yourself is to relinquish yourself. To give yourself to Me is to give yourself to Me. Things of Me cannot be believed unless you are blossoming in Me. And if you are to blossom in Me, you must be willing that I pluck the bramble from your minds and the weeds from your heart. For in Me you become purified and by purification you must come to let go of the world. Shall it be YOU who stands in a crowd and whispers ill will about Me? Shall it be YOU who refused the Bread of Life which I give? Do you truly expect Me to enter your being, to see all which needs adjustment.....cleansing, and NOT address this issue of your heart?

My Word cannot heal you if you refuse It. My Meal cannot heal you if your heart is partially shut by your mind. Shall I shake you up, O children, that I might jar loose the intrusion in your midst? Or shall I, with the Gentleness and Mercy for which you beg Me, come to you and point out the error of your way. O! If you would only look around you, you might come to know that you are in a desert among the flowers I have gathered at your side!

My lambs.....again I say these Words: I Desire Unity of every heart in Me. I Desire Unity among the hearts who I have gathered at My Side. There cannot be Unity if one is pulling left and the other, right. All must be willing to bow in Humility at My Feet. I am not satisfied with acts performed on the outside, while the heart stands in bold defiance before Me! I tell you THIS: Look around you. Look around your heart. Are you in a desert? Are you off, all alone, when I had wanted you to be of one heart? Do not judge one another, now. Look to your OWN heart. See? I am not speaking now, of the placement of your physical beings, but of where your hearts are before Me. And only *I* read hearts! Only *I*! If you are being led to Me by the Father, then come. He expects you to follow perfectly in the Path. So now, here you are. Shall you continue to whisper and murmur in your midst.....shall you join that crowd which has come to ridicule Me? For if you murmur about another, you murmur about Me.

Talk is cheap, as that saying goes. Let your ACTIONS prove your worth in Me! Why do you DISCUSS one another, when I have asked you to LOVE one another? Where are those who I have gathered at My Side? Where is the obedience I had asked of you? Why are you not following the Path to My Side? Where is the humble act of Love of each of you gathered willingly, before Me? Have some things not changed? Is hardness of heart still yours? You are not yet perfected, My lambs! Come Here to the Source of Life! I am Here! Bread of Life! Before you! Why do you prefer your own company to My Own?

I wonder if you shall truly, ever understand My Desire for you! Yet I wait. In Perfect Patience. In Perfect Sorrow. In Perfect Hope. For Unity will be Mine. Perhaps now! Will you come? Will you bend? Will you bow? To Me? For My Sake, to one another?

If I am the Bread of Life, then let My Life be visible in your own! I await you. Endlessly, I await you! Amen. +
