Dear Jesus and Holy Mother,

[Jesus speaks.....]
Life in Me, children, is a process.

Sarah, write what you see.

(Yes, Lord.  I see a large piece of cloth.  And the threads are very distinct.   Woven closely.  Made from a sort of cotton.  An ordinary, plain fabric.....much like a kitchen tablecloth with typical frayed/fringed edges.  That is what I see, My Lord.)

Daughter, now I shall explain.  Mankind is truly common and ordinary, save MY Intervention in your lives.  That your God has Desired to pick you up, scoop you up, touch you and make you whole in Me, is a very great Grace.  I do not leave you alone, though.  By My Touch to you I expect as you react with Life in Me, you would willingly affect the whole around you, and that you would desire and rejoice with Me and in Me at the union....the weaving.....I create.

One thread traveling through life is not a fabric.  It must be met by another, and another, to be sufficient to be formed  into a cloth.  It does not matter, the quality by human standards.  What matters is the willing service to Me.  To pull yourself away, willingly, weakens the fabric.  To remain allows Me to weave you, to tamp the threads ever closer together to form the pattern, the design, the purpose of you, O cloth.  That you are ordinary, that you are frayed, allows more to come to dine at My Table.  Because they are not put off by YOUR grandeur.  But they ARE drawn by the Magnificence of My Meal!  That you are willing to lie low for My Sake, My Glory, is an act of Humility on your part.  That you are willing to remain in Me, no matter what, is an Act of Love for Me, for all, for My Sake.   That you are willing to commingle with other fibers for My Sake, for the Sake of the whole of the cloth, is an Act of Unity, for the Desire of My Heart.  To serve the whole.  To act upon and within My Word.

I have begun by saying that Life is a process....your healing in Me.  For Me, it is always that My Stance is with open Arms.  For you, it is often that you are as testing the waters.  But I see your progress, perhaps slower than I would have it, but I accept your every advance as an act of free will to Me.  Soon enough you are woven into the whole, with no desire on your part, to retract your offer to Me.

And so, life is a process, ever advancing in Me, if YOU allow it.  Be aware that there are little nubs on some of the threads I gather.  But when woven into the whole, it becomes part of the total beauty.  Are you willing to be small for My Sake?  Are you willing ot be ordinary for My Sake?  Are you willing to enter the process for My Sake?  Are you willing to remain in Me as I would have you do?  You must come to learn to live side-by-side for My Sake, for the whole, the unity I so Desire.  Live for ME, no longer yourself.  Hope in MY Vision which is O, so much broader than your own narrow vision.  LOVE one another for My Sake, the whole.  For if you who hear refuse to act for Me, how will the world be served at My Banquet, when you have refused to be as a thread in My Hands?

Belief and action go hand-in-hand.  Purpose will be found in Me.  Healing is the process for you called True Life in Me.  Rejoice in your struggle, for it is an indicator of Life.  DO feel My tamping to the whole fabric.  It is the Perfection of your Weaver at work.  The design is Mine.  Be willing, pliable in My Hands.

Children, I am calling you into service in Me.  If you walk away, you upset the whole.  You weaken the cloth.  You harm the remnant.  There was a place for your thread.  Be small, once again, for My Sake.  I allow you the process.  DO allow to Me your life.  I am Peace, I am Love, I am Joy, at your willing cooperation in Me.

My Fingertips are at the loom.  I await the feel of your floss, your thread, in My Hands.  For the sake of the whole, come forth.  Come to be.  In Me.  Now and forever.  Amen.    †
