Give to Me your stubborn hearts. Give to Me your willing hearts.

My Heart sings out to you, My lambs. Do you hear My Voice? My Heart cries out to you, My lambs. Do you hear My Voice? I call to you. I beg you. Do you hear My Voice? You wait. Yet I am here, praying you respond. Do you hear My Voice? You pray to hear Me. I respond. Do you hear My Voice? Are you willing to hear Me as I would speak to you? Or is it YOU who are keeping the distance from ME?

I Who am God, come to you in My Body, in My Blood. Do you receive Me as I touch you? Think of that, lambs: Do you receive ME as I touch YOU? Well, do you? Could you, truly ever be the same once this has occurred? Yet, you may receive Me daily.....I the Lord. Have you heard My Voice? Have you received My Gentle Touch? Have you followed to where I would lead you? Where is your heart in Me? Where is My voice resounding in you? Where am I visible in the actions you perform? Where is Love recognized?

Or do YOU shake your heels against ME? Do you walk away from Me? Must *I* walk away from YOU? What Good, what growth is going on in your lives, My lambs? I am not a distant God. I am here. I am an Intimate God. I Love you and I come to touch your very soul.

You must come to see things My Way, lambs. Give to Me your stubborn hearts. Give to Me your willing hearts. Again.....listen to the Wisdom of this heart.....

"Now is the time to suffer and to fight with humble submission, in order to purify and perfect yourself according to His Will, so that you may be worthy to accomplish His Designs regarding you. What have you to fear, since His Power surrounds you on all sides like an impregnable wall against the attacks of your enemies. Remember that when God wishes to purify a soul by suffering, no one can console or relieve it." ["Thoughts & Sayings of St. Margaret Mary" for February 1]

In Me there is Wisdom and I shall permeate your soul.....if you come to follow Me as I would be followed. If you would live as I would have you live. If you would receive My Touch as I would touch you.

So I ask you: this movement away.....this shaking of dust from the heel.....who is doing what to whom? Be careful in your answer. Be careful in your heart. Where is Love? I am here. Where are you, My child? Where are you? In your heart I see Love. Will you permit Me to fine-tune you? Will you follow Me in this Endeavor? For Love must be purified, perfected in you each. There is much lacking in the Body. Stay, and be touched by your Lord. Stay, and be touched by My Love. Amen. +
