Dear Jesus and Holy Mother,

{Jesus speaks.....]
Daughters and sons, hear Me speak to you this day.  Some of you are marked with "sores" in your hearts.....your souls.   These are wounds which have not healed over time.  They continue to fester and bleed.  They sicken your spirit.  In essence, they tend to separate your spirit from the spirit of the community.  Although you appear to be part of the whole, you are not, and your lack of full participation from the heart, affects the whole life of the community.  Now, you let these sores fester as a guilt.  Guilt, my child, is not a sin, but a residue from sin that once was.  Now hear Me further still.  There are parts of you that were formed like clay, by hands other than My Own.  ANOTHER formed you according to HIS world because of errors on HIS part.....I speak of a person, child, not the evil one.  I am being clear, child, for the sake of you, for the sake of the whole.

Scars so deep can harm your progress in Me.  They pour themselves outward, causing you to always feel apart from the whole, though your body is there.  Psychological scars are terrible, terrible scars, for they damage your progress in Me.  And so, I come to re-form you in the Gentleness of MY Hands.  I come to tell you to allow yourself to rest quietly in Me, like a babe and rely upon MY Perfection to father you anew.  By MY Hand, Perfection enters your life.  By MY Hand, even psychological scars can be removed.  But for it to be done by My Hand, you must freely render every aspect of yourself into My Dwelling, My Heart.

Child, all too often, you have run off, declaring your healing of spirit, when you were not yet fully whole in Me.  You have rushed your progress, believing that time and experience in the world are proof of healing.  But you are not yet whole, little one.  And so, I came to say to you.....to be in Me as I am in you.  To be.  To be.  To be.  In Me.  In Me.  In Me.....Have I not done this, time and time again?  And so, I speak gently now, though I HAVE spoken firmly as well.  Have you never been firm with your OWN child?  Well?  Would I hand you a snake when it is My Hand of Correction that you need?

The world would offer certain standards.  They are incomplete, and often self gratifying.  They are to "pump up" one's ego rather than to improve one's spirit.  They are "of the moment" rather than for eternity.  ......And it is *I* Who am concerned with but one thing:  your eternal soul and its arrival into the fullness of My Kingdom!

A whole and complete healing:  Your body rendered freely to Me.  Your spirit resting quietly and trustingly in My Hand.  And your mind rendered freely to Me, allowing MY Thoughts to improve.....and by your will.....replace your own.

Children, along the way such growth can be difficult.  The difficulty arises because you are not freely rendering yourself into My Hands.  Children, along the way, a certain confusion may be apparent.  Give the confusion to Me.  It is rising from your untrusting heart.  It is not being inflicted upon you in this instance, but the confusion is rising from your own lack of trust.  You each have been called into a community.....My Own, formed by My Own Hands, My Church.....but to properly fit into the whole, you each must come to permit Me to hone you, spiritually, mentally, even physically.  Ah!  In total, this is not the healing you would have?  But to be one in Me, you must come to willingly render ALL of yourself to Me.  With NO reservation of yourself from Me.

Confused again, little one?  Give your present confusion.....right now.  You have said, "O, but I have already done that."  Well, give Me your excuse.....the one rising in your mind, the one harbored in your heart.  I WANT your confusion and your every excuse.  You say, "I just don't know....."  Give your wonderment to Me.  You say you have been trying.....Give your effort to Me.  Give Me your all and everything.  Your doubt.....I want it.  Your will.....I want it.  Your excuse.....I want it.  Your tear drop.....I want it.

I want it all, but it is for YOU to give it.  Child, do you understand the word "freely-given?"  It means:  NO strings attached.  Be willing to release yourself, like a helium balloon, into MY Atmosphere.  Be willing to rise with no tether; to be guided by My Winds.  Be willing to rise so high that you shall burst.  Be willing to become as a vapor.....as an absolute NOTHING for My Sake.  Invisible to all, visible only to Me.  To be re-formed by Me.  To become "something" for Me, by Me, in Me.  To be utterly FREE, little one, in Me.  No longer bound by all which had scarred you and etched you by human hand.  No more inner torment.  To finally be made into the Image and Likeness of Me.  By Me.  In Me.......One in Me.  Yes.  One in Me.  THIS is MY Life in the Spirit Seminar!  Will you join Me, THIS time?

Love Loves you.  Love waits.  Love longs.  Love lives.....for YOU.  My little one.  Amen.    †
