Dear Jesus and Holy Mother,

[Jesus speaks.....]
The Glory of God abounds in your midst, little ones, and the Path to a True Life in God is before you.  But you cannot walk the Path well, if you are constantly stumbling over your own heart.  Is your heart the stumbling block of your life?  A hardened heart damages all your progress in Me.

What shall I speak of?  Light and airy things?  When I have spoken, O so much, to you about the cleansing of heart?  Did you not think I was speaking to YOU?  Why look so often, to your neighbor, when *I* am looking at you?  I have come for YOU.  Be not so concerned with your neighbor, when your own heart must be melted first.  I am providing to you the Fire of my Love.  Will you be willing to jump in and dance for Joy as you are cleansed in My Sight?  Will you let your heart crack open like a coconut, so that the milk of Truth might flow?  Child, the coconut must be pierced, smashed, as with a Sword of Truth, that the True meat, the True center, would become visible.  Why am I speaking coconuts?  Because for all too many of you, that is the condition of your heart.  I have climbed down from My Heaven to seek you, to find you, to hold you.  Now.....will you allow Me to open your heart?  Will you finally let My Word, My Truth, pierce your heart?  Will you let go of the defenses of your mind which have blocked us for so long.

You question My Ways.  My Ways are Perfect.  My Words are True.  I give you a Reliable Source:  My Church.  She composes Her Teaching by labour and Prayer, giving birth to Truth by the Power of My Spirit, the Very Breath of My Church.  To challenge Her Teaching is to be no more than a coconut, rather than a heart, warm and pliable in My Hands.

So often now, I return you to My Church.  Have you heard.....understood.....the Truth of My Word yet?  It goes forth to achieve and does not return to Me void.

I leave it for you to ponder:  Are you a coconut?  Or a heart, pliable in My Hands?  Be not quick to answer, little ones.  But if you are a coconut, then ask Me and I shall pierce your heart.  But it is for you to ASK Me and to ALLOW Me.

So now, I have added to the pictorial image of your life in Me.  Shall you be cracked like a coconut?  Tugged at like an artichoke?  Peeled layer by layer like an onion?  Shall the veils fall away from your eyes, the eyes of your heart?

Free reign.  I Desire free reign.  In you.   And for you, I pray.  Before the Throne of My Father.  Amen.     †

With Love, in the Two Hearts,
