Are you still grabbing for apples, when the Tree of Life is here in your midst?

My children, hear Me speak to you this day. Day after day I instruct you, but how well do you hear? I place you in My Care, but how satisfied are your spirits in the place where I put you? Do you seek other shores? Do you seek wisdom and knowledge inappropriate for you.....I do not refer to the need for education here.....what I refer to is a certain innate "prerequisite" to know things which you truly do not need to know.

When you reach out for Me, is it for the Gift which I bear, or because I am God? Is it the Delight which you seek, or True Life in Me.....for your attitude makes all the difference. The seeking of knowledge, the gaining of knowledge should be for the purpose of improved service to mankind. If I allow to you some kindness as well, then be grateful for you Gift, but serve all the more. See? The placement of you in the Garden was for you to know, Love and serve Me. When you reached out for knowledge beyond Me you expressed your dissatisfaction for Me, you began to taint your own hearts. And now, you seek the pleasure of your OWN company, knowledge as you prefer to see it through YOUR eyes. O! How I have pitied you, the predicament in which you have placed yourselves.

Come off with Me. Be with Me. At My Cross. See the healing of hearts which occurs Here. See that This Act of Salvation has silenced the tempter's control over you.....if you come to walk My Way.....in blessed satisfaction that God has done this Great Deed for you. Come, little ones, off with Me that we might live in bowed Wonder and Awe for all the Good which the Father bestows. See the Glory of God in your midst: you are now children of God, heirs to the Kingdom! Have you not heard? Have you not seen? Have you accepted, DO you accept this Great Gift of Salvation for you? See? It is for YOU I have come. It is YOU I take off into My Heart, that you would be healed.....be willing to be healed. But do you still seek distant shores? Do you still seek self-satisfying knowledge aside of Me? Is the Gift still more important than Its Giver, little ones? Are you more impressed with the actions, the signs, the wonders than what they should achieve? Are you still grabbing for apples, when the Tree of Life is here in your midst? Are you receiving Me as I receive you? Or are you still distracted with self gain, self knowledge.....aside of Me.....in "competition" with Me? Who are you going off with? Are you being healed? Whose voice do you heed, who do you follow? Does the gift you use bring you to Me, or do you miss the mark?

Examine your ways. Lay yourselves at My Feet. I will feed you all you need. No more, no less. I am Purpose. There is no waste in Me. Free Will and Salvation. These are your greatest Gifts, little ones. How will you use them? How will you imbibe them? How will you live them? Do you reach out for My Sake, or your own? For what purpose is the knowledge you bear? For what purpose is the knowledge you seek? What would be the gain if you lost your immortal soul? .....Then, the knowing would be of your loss.
