If you know Me as you say you do, then be willing to measure your life by MY Standards.

From beginning to end, let your life be in Me. Let all things serve Me well. Whether Good Fortune or ill.....praise Me.....yes.....praise Me! Be filled with Trust that I, your Lord, NEVER abandon you! Know that all things can work for the Good when you return to Me your heart, constantly, in every moment of your life. Children, each of you is given the same opportunity of returning to Me.....for this, afterall, have you been created. Life may bear some twists and turns, often inserted by the free-willed choices made by you or others along the way. Ah! But if you look to Me for Encouragement you shall find it! I am your God! I am you Father! I am you Lord! I provide all which you need! I give you Myself! I give you My Son! I give to you the Paraclete! I bequeath to you, constantly, My Grace.....nothing wasteful.....all to serve.....to bring you back Home to Me. Though you walk in a valley of darkness, I am your Light! Live what you learn in Me and let Truth become visible in your every breath, every beat of your heart, every step that you make and most importantly.....in your every word.....for it is here that most failings occur! Bent words break backs. False words break hearts. Poisoned words can turn hearts to stone. But I rush in to heal hearts. Will you let Me heal you? Will you come up into this Land of Truth which I have given you?

Forgive one another as I forgive you. Heal one another's hearts with the Grace I have already placed in your presence. I am waiting for you to react like children of God. Will I look and see you behaving well, My lambs? Or will you continue your charade, your own deception.

If you know Me as you say you do, then be willing to measure your life by MY Standards. Let go of what does not fit. If your hearts are truly growing in Me, you will come to see much which has changed.....[and] much behavior.....thought.....which must go. See the Goodness in this learning experience, little ones, for it has served to bring you to this particular place in Me. Like a child, you would not listen otherwise. So, I have let you learn by groping your way. If you have not been changed.....if you are the same.....then you are nowhere. You have missed the actions of so many Graces! See? To follow the Lord means MOTION!.....By the stirring of My Hand within your heart......By the mixing of you together within your journey. Obstinate hearts do not belong. There will come a time when they have served their purpose. Will you let the sand become a pearl? Or will you remain an agitant within your own being? There DOES come a time of casting out. But NOW is My Time of Mercy! NOW, let Forgiveness flow.....from Me to you, from you to one another.....and the seeking of Forgiveness from your own heart to Me and to one another. Both ways serve the whole. Both find their root in Love. Amen. +
