Dear Jesus and Holy Mother,

[Jesus speaks.....]
What shall we discuss this day, little ones?  Let us discuss the fact that you have taken My Hand, that you have let ME take YOURS.  All too often, I feel this grasp from you in the spirit of YOUR moment, not Mine.  When I ask you to follow Me, I expect that you have meant what you have said to Me.....your yes to Me.  All too often, you leave.  You know of My Patience, but you try Me, little ones, you DO try My Patience!

There comes a time in your development when your yes comes from a certain maturity of spirit.  When you know Me sufficiently will, your yes becomes as a valid document of trust between us, and to break your yes to Me is to break your trust in Me.  Because there is an arduous mountain ahead of us, because we are walking in a parched desert, because you are where the world says there is no hope.....is NO justification for you to run away from Me.  You have walked long enough with Me now, to know that I am God and you are not; and that in Trust in Me, all things ARE truly possible for you.  Let ME be your Strength.  Let ME be your Hope.  Do not turn your back on your current situation, for you turn your back on Me.  Be Patient, and Endure.  For even when the situation looks lost.....in Me, there is Victory.  By the very Example of My Life, you can see that there is Victory even in Death.

That there is so much failure in life, your life right now, is NOT an item of justification FOR failure!  That so many prefer their own thing to My Own Thing is not proof that My Way is not THE Way.  It IS proof, however, of the fog of deception and how easily you breathe in the fumes of the fog of the enemy.

I have said:  Come follow Me.  I have not included deviation from the Path.  I have said Love one another.  I have added no list of conditions, have I?  I have said where two or three gather in prayer, so too, am I.  So I ask you:  Why do you gather for so many OTHER reasons than prayer?  Why do you prefer to discuss the darkness of the enemy to the Value of True Life in Me?

My Heart Bleeds for the sight of you, little ones.  I gift you with Patient Endurance and you cast it to the wind.  Rather than to wait for Me, you prefer the instant, the moment of apparent ease in front of you.  You do not know the future, yet you predict it from your fog of confusion.

The enemy would invade our space.  He would spread his confusion.  And this is possible if you do not stay in Focus on Me.....If you prefer the world's company, to BEING in Me....If you prefer your own lonely heart to My Sacred Heart.

There is a permanence in life for a heart who has freely given oneself to Me.  Once given, the heart is not retracted.  Gift given:  gift received.  Gift received:  gift valued as treasure in My Own Sacred Heart.

Is nothing given in Truth in this Day?  Does not "yes" still mean "yes" and "no", "no"?  Do you ever pause to affirm the validity of your word, that which pours forth from your lips?  Do you ever check to see the condition of your heart?  Do you let Me enter?  Do you let Me stay?  ......Child.....let Me remind you Who I am.....I am God.....All-Knowing God......Ponder this, little ones.  Ponder that all which you hide, I see.  All which you will know, I have known for all time.  And the promises you have given I have seen for all time, here in your heart.  Here, before you, am I.  That you, perhaps, cannot see My Presence is of little concern.  What SHOULD be your concern is that I am.  Here.  Now.  In your midst.  In your heart.  In your life.  Where are you in Mine?

Big thoughts.  Important thoughts.  Eternal thoughts.  All Grace to Endure has been given.  Trust in Me.  My Word is Firm!  I teach.  Do you learn?  Life.  It is the schoolroom.  I am the Teacher.  Death will be as the graduation ceremony.  What degree of eternity will you earn?  For you see, little ones, your life lived on earth becomes your own judgment for all Eternity.  Yes, I am serious.  I am God.  And I mean what I say!  Come, be in Me now, while you still have the Gift of Time.

I bless you with every necessary Blessing.  Be not discouraged.  Be filled with Joyful Hope in Me.  Amen.    †
