Dear Jesus and Holy Mother,

[Jesus speaks.....]
My children, hear Me.  You are very drawn to the great ones in your midst.  Those in power attract your attention.  The rich, the famous, you long to be near to them.  How you perceive a person in your eyes, all too often determines the posture of your heart.  In society you pick and choose.  But *I* have come for all.

If the purpose of every life is rendered freely to Me, then all purpose of existence becomes Mine.  And as you walk more closely with Me, I can help you to be reshaped in spirit according to the Will of the Father, just as I allowed Myself to be in the Father's Will when I was among you.

I was not rich in earthly terms, nor were most who followed Me.  We were looked down upon by those around us.  Yet, within our rank, a certain leadership emerged.  One is teacher, one is follower.  But all have value in the Eyes of God.  Each has purpose and to deny that purpose is to rob the soul of its journey in God:  the Fulfillment of His Holy Will.

The fact that there are discrepancies within society is fine, if all which is misunderstood is brought directly to Me.  Sometimes, sweet lambs, you miss My Opportunity in your midst because you prefer your own imperfect thinking to My Own Perfect Thought.  If I am your Teacher, then bring to Me the Lesson you are learning, the very one with which you are having so much difficulty.  I tell you this My lambs:  I fully understand society, for you are the Work of My Hands.  [Jesus smiles upon us with a certain look of Patience.]

Rich in Grace:  come to Me.  Poor in spirit:  come to Me.  Confused one:  come to Me.  Defensive one:  come to Me.  Thinker:  come to Me.  Arrogant one:  come to Me.  If you consider yourself wealthy:  come to Me.  If you are declared poor:  come to Me.  Come to Me now, to be.  Do not prevent the other in his or her approach to Me.  Enhance each journey with prayer.  Glory awaits you, just as My Father's Glory awaited Me.

Be somewhat less focused on your journey, but be ABSOLUTELY focused on Me.  For I am the Prize of each man's Hope, each man's way through life.  If the journey has purpose, it is in Me.  ANYTHING that blocks you, divides you, along the way must be willingly examined for its clarity in Me.  All things must be willingly held up to Truth.  Had I not told you that?  As an egg is candled to light, so must all in your life be held up to Truth.  Be not afraid, little ones.  For this process is called discernment and it is the Lesson which I teach.  Rejoice that the Master teaches you firsthand!  Lest you make an error which could cost you your life in Me.

I allow things to happen sometimes, to teach.  With great Love, I have arranged the Lesson.  I draw you closer to Me.  You must be purified.  You have said "yes" to Me.  Well, this is part of the process.  I have not thrown you out to the wolves, little ones.  Instead, I have drawn you so near to My Breast, as if, to hear My Heartbeat in every moment of the Lesson I teach.

Will you accept this Lesson?  Will you learn?  By how you act within it, you will gain, you will profit, or you will fail, you will lose.

But if you are in Me, if you stay, if you turn to Me in all things, if you accept My Way and the Will of the Father.....you shall increase in the Prize called Wisdom.  For it is My Gift to you.  So, do not challenge Me, little ones.  Learn from Me and from the mistakes I have permitted you to make.  For I have gathered you for My Purpose.  Will you complete the test, the trial?  For the Crown of Glory awaits you.  Life is the journey to the crown.  The Kingdom is My Own and this journey is your test of worthiness to enter its Eternal Glory.  Amen.    †
