The Word goes forth to achieve Its effect. The parent reaches to nestle the baby at the bosom. Communication between parent and child is a simple affair. It is man’s choice where error enters. I tell you this: a parable is a story used oftentimes by Me. But My Lesson had already been given. In plain language. I have given firm Law. It is YOU who have bent it. I have given firm Faith, it is you who have tried My Patience in your own experience of this Gift I had given, so Pure. It is Love, when missing, which fouls every plan. Without Love, all Good things become unadorned virtue. Has this not been a plain Teaching to you.....My Law of Love? Without Love, when you hope, you hope in vain. Without Love, your heart goes quickly awry.

If there is to be an understanding to the parables I teach, it is in the Teaching I have already given. To those who hear, the Parable has meaning, for I have already taught you the Lesson. Faith, Hope and Love are Virtues you are to LIVE, little ones! And the living is in ME! You in Me. You in Me. You in Me, even as I am already in you. It is always a matter of your will and where you choose to be in Me. Displaced Love is displaced virtue. Displaced virtue repositions you away from Me. You cannot reclaim your position within Me by your meaningless excuses and misinterpretations of My Word. What I ask of you is repentance, a renewal of self in Me. To whom am I speaking? To YOU!

Ah! So.....The sower and the seed. Who is the sower? Who is the seed? If the seed is Good, who would sow it upon the rocks? Who are the rocks? Where is your heart? Are you shut down, that you will only hear your own voice rather than Mine? When the seed is cast among the thistles and thorns.....where are YOU? Do you allow needless complication in your lives? Do you hear only partially because of the complications in your life? Are you abusing the Good seed I have given? Are you wasting much? Using little? Perhaps, the story.....the parable.....will lead you back to Me; but you must seek Me with a sincere heart. You must look for My Teaching which preceded the story. For I am a God of Great Simplicity and Purpose. I do not confuse! I am plain. It is for Me to lead you to the FATHER, afterall! I am your Shepherd. I do not lead you astray. The wolves in our midst.....they sow confusion. They sow disunity. But why must you let these things grow in your hearts, when I had already warned you.....when I had already taught you!

So, hear Me now. I speak plainly to you. If your heart is divided, it must become whole in Me. If your mind is unfocused, you must become focused in Me. If your vision is clogged, if your hearing is partial, you must become attuned anew in Me. These things of which I speak are of your heart.....where your heart is in Me.....or not.

Return to your innocence! Reclaim your innocence in Me! Once again, give yourself to Me! Am I not the Fountain of Life? Well then, come and refresh yourself in My Living Water. No.....you shall never fully understand Me, My Ways.....but to process in Me is to continually come to know, Love and serve Me. BE in Me, lambs! To be means just that! And to be in Me is what I request of each and every one of you! If you do not do these things, you shall be lost. First, you walk away into self. Then, you wander into the camp of the enemy. Lastly, you choose to continue your journey into a state of existence far removed from Me. I give you My Heaven. You choose your own hell. But.....you can choose as well, My Heaven. How well do you hear? How well do you know.....observe.....My Word?

Life can be full in Me. If you allow it. Shall I bid you one more time? .....Come, follow Me. Take My Hand. I lead you to the Father. Let all rivals slide away. They appear as enhancements, when they are as anchors to drag you down and fully away from Me.

You may quote her, child. And then, close. In My Love. Amen. +
