My children, hear Me. I present to you this story, this image of how sometimes, you try to achieve Faith:

Would you see a large, colorful, attractive hot air balloon? Would you board it for a journey to the highest heavens? Would you let it soar beyond its normal heights? Would you sail within it to the very sun? Would your heart and mind not tell you that your journey would have a destructive end?

Would you build a ladder to mount My Throne? Would you climb, by YOUR own beliefs, to My Side? Would you construct the rungs by laws which you make yourself to think as being a way to Me, called "faith" by your own standards?

Would you take My Word and dissect it and analyze it to justify your faith? Would you place a little of Me "here" and a little of Me "there".....as if wrapping paper around the gifts your would possess? Would you subject Me to your standards? Or would you abide by My Own?

O lambs! Would that you realize soon enough that YOU are not God, but that *I* am! Would you realize that Faith is My Gift to you, to be unwrapped and to grow within as you are able, as you are willing. That each facet of Faith is My Gift to you in your moment in Me as you come to know, Love and serve Me! The WAY, My lambs, is MINE. You enter it by MY Invitation to YOU!

Do not abuse your journey. Yes.....soar when I allow it, on the Breath of the Spirit. Yes.....climb a little higher when I lift you in My Hand! Law and Order are My Gifts to you. They are not a burden. They lead you, in Freedom, in Me. Order is the Way.....the process within Freedom in Me. Law is My Blanket of Love around you. Freedom functions within My Law where Faith abounds. Law.....My Own.....is not a yoke. Law.....My Own is a Freedom of being in Me. It is to mark a distinction where spirit may live in flesh, from the place where spirit is ruled by flesh. To be ruled by flesh is to fall victim to self and to fall away from Me!

I have told you: *I* am the Way to a True Life in Me. *I* am Freedom. *I* am Love. *I* am Perfection of the Law. In Me, you learn how to be. You cannot be in Me without Me, afterall. O! You may use various approaches.....but I ask you.....when your hot air balloon explodes, who is it who will catch you as you fall? To whom shall you cry for such help? When your ladder pierces the heavens, who shall lift you up? When you fall, who shall catch you and keep you from falling back to earth.....or worse.....into the fires of hell? My Mercy is your shield. My Mercy is your Fortress. My Mercy is the garment which you wear. By My Mercy you are steeped in Faith. Do not subject yourselves to human interpretations, but give yourselves, completely, to Me. Be ruled by My Spirit Who is True Freedom! In the Road to Perfection there is no need for law, as one’s arms are constantly open to the Source of Truth, the Source of Love. But the Way is called Perfection. And perfection is a process. Let your process become a way to perfection in Me. Do not devise ways to come to Me. Develop Love in Faith, that you would come to BE in Me! Do not be slaves to self, to one another. But become SERVANTS in Me! It is a matter of perspective. It is a matter of introspection. It is a matter of being. It is a matter of self. It is a matter of freedom.....True Freedom.....in Me. It is a matter of obedience.....True Obedience.....IN Love, in Me. It is a matter of change of heart. It is a matter of free will. It is a matter of choice.....your own: for Me, or against Me. See? True Freedom of law brings you to True Justice and Clarity in Me: for, or against. Life, or death. Heaven, or hell. God, or Satan. Purity, or impurity. Life, or death: absolute. God, or man. God, or self. My Way, or yours. Eternal Bliss, or self destruction. Faith, Freedom, Love.....or self justification.

Well, children.....Shall the story have a happy ending? Will we Love one another, forever after? Will you freely walk the Path with Me? My Hand is extended.....Let ME be your Way to a True Life in Me. Now.....and yes, forever. Amen. +
