Dear Jesus and Holy Mother,
[The Lord speaks.....]
See, children? The point of your focus can become a place of security for you, or a place of abandonment of self into Me! Little hearts, come to Me! I gather you like Springtime flowers into My Hands! I lift you to admire Me.....yes, I lift you to admire ME! For how else would you pause long enough to notice Me? If you are filled with zeal, is your zeal for the Lord? Or self? If you are filled with a certain busy-ness, am I included in your heart? Am I STILL the focus of your day? Or have your busy hands been raised more to work than to Me? Now, it is for this Reason that I preach to you constantly: Focus on ME! Ah, but you say: "Lord, I have so very much to do!" Yes, child, yes, children, I see all that surrounds you and I see the clutter in your heart. A heart well disposed in Me is an uncluttered heart. There is a difference between zeal of flesh and zeal of heart.
Zeal of heart is filled with Me. Zeal of heart in Me sees more clearly, the True Importance in Life: Salvation. Zeal of heart causes through Me, that all which you do serves Me, be it sacrifice or service or both. Zeal of flesh is a self edifying event. Zeal of flesh is to the exclusion of Me. Zeal of flesh pleases self and others locked in the world. Zeal of flesh is exclusive to self and does not flow from Me. Ah! Let zeal of flesh fall in submission to zeal of heart in focus in Me. THEN the two become one in spirit in Me! See? I pray for your unity.....your unity of self in Me. THEN your service will pour forth from your renewed place within ME!
Conversion.....conversion of mind, conversion of spirit, conversion of self. Ongoing, yes. Growing, yes. In Me.....YES! Let the path you travel in the world or in your mind lead you to Me by your willingness to hand all of self over to Me. You will pass through, walk in My Heart, My Love. And you SHALL be renewed. But by your wills. You in Me. I in you. Willingly. Longingly.
.....Include it here.
(Yes, my Lord and my God, my Jesus, my King, my Saviour, My Love.)
"I was greatly consoled by the pleasure you gave our Lord in embracing His Cross with Joy and Submission. It is True that He covered It entirely with roses, lest it should frighten you. But it is not so much in this that you should rejoice, but rather that you feel the pricks of the thorns hidden beneath." ["Thoughts & Sayings of St. Margaret Mary" for October 10]
[Our Lord continues.....]
It is all a matter of perspective....where is your heart! In Me? Or in self? Willing, open, pliable? Or filled with zeal of flesh? Submission to Me is Key in your growth of self in Me. Come.....let us journey closer in your heart, that you might come closer in My Own. Amen. +
