Dear Jesus and Holy Mother,

[Jesus speaks.....]
How is it you perceive Me?  Storyteller?  Lord?  Teacher?  Word?  Life?  Completeness?  How is it that you perceive Me?  Praise Me in word.  Praise Me in deed.  Praise Me in action.  But DO, praise Me from within your sincerity of heart!  For you to act for action's sake alone, is worthless.  For you to BE for Me from a state of oneness in Me, is Perfection.  And you cannot BE in Me if you are withholding parts of you from Me.

Let Me speak to you about this act of being.  It is for you to BE, regardless of the condition of your soul.  Being requires an act of willingness.  Now I say this:  I am God and you are not.  If you are to be perfected, it will only be at My Hand.  I would have you grow properly in Me.  It is *I* Who plant you where you would properly grow.  But if YOU decide your time and place, you shall wither, your growth will be stunted.  Even.....your life can be snuffed out, if you are not where I had intended you to be.  Sometimes, lambs, the Gift of your intelligence becomes your own stumbling ground because of your possession of it.  It is as though you would impress ME by how you arrive in life, when Life is MY Gift to YOU!

"Bloom where you are planted" should be revised so that you have clearer vision of its meaning.  Bloom where *I* plant you, little ones!  Be willing to be planted by ME.  Be willing to wait to grow in Me.  Be willing to wait to be nurtured by Me.  I am unimpressed with the good things you do, if they are not the good that I had intended you do.  To be about My Business, you must be willing to BE!

Hear Me, lambs!  My Word is True!  My Word is the seed which would grow in you.  You are nurtured by My Body and Blood.  Without this Food, your meal is incomplete.  I had intended for you to be planted in My Word and nourished by My Body and My Blood.  That is what I had intended.  It leads to True Unity in Me.  But thinkers thought otherwise and now I, your Lord, must wait.  For the Gift of Free Will has in all too man cases, deterred your journey.  In actuality, lambs, My Message is simple.  It is YOU who complicates it.  If you were willing to give yourself to Me on MY Terms, your growth would be rapid, well paced, secure.  I give all which you need in the moment you need it.  And there it is.....the moment.  If you are "there" when you should be "here," your meal will be incomplete.  Not by My Doing, but  by your own.  The rocks along your path are sometimes by Me, for your own growth.  In other times, the rocks are your own, and you have dragged them yourself, into YOUR own path.  Do you see what I am saying?  What I am calling you to?

Be.
In Me.
Please.

Would a Father, My Own, offer to  you a snake when you are in need of a hug?  Would a Father, My Own, make you to be lost, when it is for you to be found?  .....Child!  It is YOU who are running from My Grasp.  Yes.....you are to be "just one" of many flowers.....But you are to BE Mine.

Be Mine.
Now and forever.  Amen.     †
