See, My lambs, that the REASON for which you do things must become clarified in your hearts.

[The Lord speaks.....]
What is the condition of your heart? What is its manner, its disposition before Me? Do you hold your head up high in My Midst? Or do you cower as in little acts of false humility? Do you recognize My Manner? Do you recognize Me? Do you look, with Me, to the Father in all things? Do you realize that no sacrifice on your part has meaning without first, the Sacrifice Which I have offered for your sakes? Nothing on your parts is gained without Me, and through Me all which God gives is yours: Salvation and the Road to My Heavenly Home.

So.....what is the manner of your heart before Me. DO walk in Me and be willing to deny yourself for My Sake, that through this taming of flesh and your own spirit you might grow to be fuller in Me. And there, as you grow more fully within Me, praise shall rise like the morning dew, upon your lips and in My Light your praise shall be lifted and cause the Eternal Flow of Love to rise up within you. See, My lambs, that the REASON for which you do things must become clarified in your hearts. You must come to see that I look for the Joy of Faith in your hearts, despite the sorrows you may endure. For the Joy of Faith is in the knowing that God is.....and that God is, so you can be.....in God. DO tame the flesh that you might rise more perfectly into Me. The process shall give birth to Praise which is as an indication of where your heart truly is within Me. Let us say this: Praise is the outward pouring of a heart filled with and truly alive in Faith. THIS is why I Desire Praise and not sacrifice from you. You can achieve nothing on your own, but in Me, all things are possible. Amen. +
