Dear Jesus and Holy Mother,
[The Lord speaks.....] There is a time when My Word goes out. Will you hear It? Will you receive It? How rich is your heart in My Grace? How burdened is your heart by pride? How filtered with My Light are you? How pierced by darkness are you? Will you, too, desire to follow Me, except for the possessions you prefer to bear, to carry, to possess? How deep are your thoughts? Do you not yet prefer My Own Thoughts? How expansive is My Word! Have you yet, truly, received Me deeply in your heart? Children, do you know that preconceived notions can often block us from the growth I Desire? I cannot give you Truth if you already believe you possess it. You cannot truly want Me if you do not allow ME to be your All and Everything. I have said.....All which divides us must go. Well.....where are YOUR preconceived notions? Where are YOUR demands on ME? Where in THAT attitude is your willing service of ME? .....Children, you cannot fit into My Heart with the size of the possessions you bring: thought, self opinion, reluctance to change, reluctance to accept My Truth.....No.....You do not fit into My Heart unless you are willing to let go of these possessions.....And.....among those possessions is a mirror which reflects back to you the reverse of My Truth. Its name, the mirror’s name, is confusion. It has been planted in your possessions by the enemy. You have become attracted by its glimmer, its seemingly apparent reflection of light.....but it is serving you now, as the greatest deterrent to your progress in Me. For it casts its "light" on much of what is within you. And confusion spreads its effect. And you are further blocked from Me. You cannot pursue Truth, because you have not truly received It. Truth stands alone; yet you would support It with so much baggage! Can you see what I am saying, yet?
Let Me tell you something, lambs. I am calling some to come.....to move within life to follow Me. To others, I would have you bloom precisely where you are planted. But on either account, all which divides us must go. You cannot travel with Me if you are possessing your burdens. And you cannot bloom where you are if you are encapsulated.....insulated from all the Glory which I would give to make you grow! The peeling away of self is a great gift which gives one freedom as one freely cooperates in the baring of one’s soul! Truth is Freedom in knowing that what was once a stripping of self, has resulted in a Glorious opening of self to the fullness of God! With less of self, there is more of Me. With abandonment of self, human imperfection is kissed by God’s Perfection. With a smaller perception of self, there is an undeniable knowledge of the Greatness of God! See? All which is given is received, and returned a hundred fold!
(My Lord!
I am in utter AWE of Your Word! Your
Messages stir my heart, my Lord. Your Scripture is my life with Your Eucharist,
my Lord!
I sit here, like a sponge, my Lord.....I NEED Your Nourishing Water to fill me,
O Lord. .....I am
sorry, my Lord, for interrupting You, O Greatness. .....My heart has spilled
over into words upon this page.)
Daughter, daughter, rest assured that all is flowing as it may. If I have filled you, then let us flow. For we shall touch the shores of our destination. I in you. You in Me.
(O Perfection! Heal my wounds! O Perfection, Purify my heart! O Perfection!
Be Patient with me who is so slow to learn from Your Glorious Hand!)
[The Lord continues.....]
Unburdening a heart is a gentle work. Unburdening a heart can be a heavy work. To freely unburden a heart is a Delight of My Soul. For My Word is accomplished: Bring all your heavy burdens to ME!
See, lambs, that True Life in Me is an ongoing challenge, but one which can be achieved. Because of My Grace. But to receive My Grace properly, you must make room for It by welcoming It into a place in your heart. Will you offer to Me a place in your heart? Will you give to Me the place of burden in your heart? For that place has served as a pack upon your back and it has laden you, as a camel. You do not fit into My Heart just yet. Release yourself into Me.....please! Do you trust Me this much, yet?
Answer My question, please.....with your very life. Will you give your life for Me as I have given Mine for you? Will you Love Me.....your neighbor, yourself, as I Love you? Will you become alive in My Word? Will we flow, in the Water from My Side? Will we go where and when I Will? Will such Unity be ours? Yours? Mine? .....We.....Us? One? All? As *I* Design, not YOU?
Live your answers. I pray you will choose to live in Me. Amen. +
