Dear Jesus and Holy Mother,

[Jesus speaks.....]
My lambs, let Me speak to you about fear.  Fear cripples.  Fear makes your heart lame.  Fear paralyzes your heart.  Fear, truly, keeps us apart.  Some fear has entered your being like a fog in a night time sky.  Under the cloak of darkness, fear has been breathed in, even before My morning sunshine has risen.  For you were asleep, or you were awake.....regardless, the fear is present.  When did it attack you?  Now, at your age?  Or as a child?  Where do you have it harboured?

Fear, My lambs, wears strange costumes.  Fear of loneliness, fear of being hurt.....all fear can wear many costumes, for it hides within you as you compensate for the fear you do not recognize within you.

Yet, I am Love.  And Love drives out fear.  Unless you fear that the loss of fear will leave you defenseless.  Because you have come to cling to fear, and its costumes, as a way of life.  Fear encourages you to be afraid of.....even.....My Pure Love.  Will you give your fear to Me, even as you permit Me free reign in seeking out all your fear to remove it from your soul?  Do you Love Me, trust Me, that much?

Fear is a tool of the enemy.  And no matter how the fear has entered your being, it is there now, to the delight of evil who would manipulate you, and thus, prevent your full True Life from growing in Me.  Fear is the scene of the battlefield for the soul.  For it causes you to lose a clear, true vision on Me.  I say:  focus on Me.  But, you cannot, if your eyes are focused on fear.

Child, we must peel away your layers of compensation.....your desire to make right what is wrong, for fear that your innocent nakedness will show.  Your nakedness is that of your innocent birth.....your infancy.  Yet, even through childhood, much fear can be instilled.  Now, you call it "phobia."  Now, you call it "self"....."who you are."  But it is not as I had intended for you, lambs.   The openness you have given to fear, was to be the place of My Pure Love within you.  Now, it is for you to relinquish this place of fear to Me.  For I would make you whole in Me, lambs.  And fear and My Love cannot exist in the same space.

Yet, you let the early morning shadows frighten you.  You cower in your darkness rather than to reach out in complete trust to Me.  You are mesmerized by the story of My apostles upon the sea, yet there, too, are you.   Where have we come, in all these years, anyway?  Do not rely upon THEIR fear as your defense.  For THEIR fear was overcome by a willingness to give My Spirit free reign.

Now, YOU are fully aware of Baptism.  You speak of its Glorious healing of your soul.  But the full healing is yet to be accomplished, lambs.  I have been waiting for the gift from you, called fear.  That My Love might rush in to save you.  See Me walking on the water?  In you, I walk upon the hardness of your heart!

O!  Would your Lord be so demanding?  YES!  Resoundingly.....Y-E-S!  Because I have come to SAVE you, lambs.  DO let Me SAVE you!  No longer let fear keep us apart.  But it is for YOU to lift it to Me.....For YOU to give Me free reign  within you.  For YOU to trust Me fully, with EVERY part of your being:  especially the kingdom of your mind.  That I might finally rule your soul!

Love does cast out fear.  But only if you let it.  No longer live as a stagnating pond.  Come, be fully alive in the Waters gushing from My Side.  I beg you, child.  Amen.    †
