If you strike out on your own without Me, you shall become lost.

What is possible without God? Is there anything you can believe worth anything without God? Children, there are often times when you go about saying you believe this.....and you believe that.....when you say that you pray for this......when you say that you pray for that.....but in fact, you are acting out the image of what you say you believe. If your prayer is more to satisfy what YOU say you believe, then your spirit is involved in only a shadow of itself. Recall, in days just passed I have asked you how is it you have come to believe what you believe?

So often the Virtue I have given becomes like an old cloak.....stuffed into the back of your closet. It can become as an old antique stored in the attic of your life. You come to prefer the toys with which you now play, rather than the lasting reality I had given you. You lose sight of what I had intended, you forget the whole of who you are to be in Me. No Virtue is yours for the keeping, My lambs. Virtue, like you, is to return to Me. For in Me we are one. See?

When you go off acting on your own, you are doing a "shadow dance" of what I would have had you accomplish. Children, you are called into a TRUE Life in Me. This requires ongoing cooperation with My Grace. This requires that you grow into a dependence upon Me for all things. It is that you lean on Me, not I upon you.

Child, children, I shall say this: if you strike out on your own without Me, you shall become lost. For awhile you will appear to accomplish; but soon enough, the emptiness of your words, the fruitlessness of your actions, your lack of growth will become quite evident to those around you. But the greatest moment arises when you call out to Me in all honesty that it is I the Lord, Who is all you truly need.

O children, lambs, life is an experience for you. Come, grow in Me. Let your experience of self be in Me.....The choice is yours. When will you turn to Me? When will you return to Me? When will you BE in Me? When will you bow before Me and thank and praise Me for all the Goodness which I have wrought? When will you remain new in Me? Will you let Me wipe the cobwebs from your eyes, your ears, your heart? For you, the possibility exists in Me. But it is you who must desire Me. Children.....LAMBS, *I* already Desire YOU! See? Enter Me! You are more than invited......you are WELCOMED! Lambs, little ones.....the Desire of My Heart is you. Amen. +
