For unless you are willing to confront your own weakness, you shall never become strong in Me.

So many hearts would be in Me.....so many hearts according to their own wills, their own ways. Is competition part of your lives, too? Is how you are in Me, a matter of contention [i.e., controversy, argument, competition, rivalry] for you? Do you notice, more, how those around you are in Me? .....Then you must question where you, yourself, are in Me!

Competition, vying [contending] for a place in Me can lead to jealousy. It can lead to a jealousy which lies dormant in you, yet even in its dormancy, it causes pain and harm to your soul. See? You must examine your hearts, little ones. Truly, you must examine the purity.....or not.....of your intentions.....lest you are deterred along your way in Me.

To serve Me is to serve Me, and often THROUGH one another. But never lose sight of ME! Mistakes can be made, My lambs.....errors in judgment. This can all be a part of your growth in Me.....or it can become your stumbling block. Left unchecked, it can be your demise.

And so, I DO re-present to you, areas necessary for your growth! If you are in My Hearing, and you are hearing, then I bid you to respond to Me. How well you serve Me begins with how well you serve yourself in Me. For unless you are willing to confront your own weakness, you shall never become strong in Me. .....Now do not be afraid, My lambs. Do not become indignant! That you are weak.....that you need repair.....that you have sinned.....See? YOU are My Purpose. *I* am your Savior and I have come for YOU! .....Can you accept the Intimacy, Holy Intimacy, of this moment? Can you accept My Challenge? You are abled by My Grace. Do participate by the permission of your will. There is nothing to hide from Me, My lambs. As you cower in your heart, I see you. As you come forth, I behold you. And as you reach out to Me, I embrace you. I can see your progress, lambs, and I rejoice at your every step. Though you creep like a child learning to walk, I rejoice in you!

Be not afraid, lambs! It is I the Lord! My Arms are extended wide to receive you. Serve Me well by entering first, the repentance of your heart. Come and be purified in Me now, that the path of your service would be surer.....along MY Way.....not yours. Amen. +
