DO accept the WAYS to True Life in Me, but do not become constricted by them.

[The Lord speaks.....]
There is a law which you can enact and enforce for the conditions of your own heart. Such laws constrict you. Let Me explain, My lambs. See a ladder which you have built to bring you to the heights of My Heaven. As you would grow in your Love for Me, you construct your own ladder, rung by rung. You increase the length of its supports, that more rungs would be installed, that you would grow higher to Me. But you achieve no real height at all, for the sheer weight of the ladder. And as you cling to the ladder, balancing it yourself, you see birds which swoop near you, but you are fearful to reach out, lest you lose the balance you prefer upon the ladder you have built. The symbol of this ladder can be two-fold. On one hand it can symbolize your growth.....the distance you have come and the distance yet to go. On the other hand, it can be a symbol of constriction of spirit by your own hands. For to control by regimentation, your growth to Me, is to deny that My birds can fly you safely Home. See? A ladder constructed by your own thoughts leaves you subject to the law of gravity. You will surely fall backward and your journey will find constriction, the higher you attempt to climb.

There is a sweetness in the Breath of God, My lambs! Its Warmth can lift you and help you to soar. DO accept the WAYS to True Life in Me, but do not become constricted by them. See? If you are to put on the Mind of Christ, you must abandon your own self to Me. *I* am the Way. Accept My Grace as I pass it to you. Be willing to let go of your rungs, My children, and trust that I already have a hold of you.

Simplicity is the key. Simplicity of heart. Childlikeness. Sweetness. Sweetness within the Breath of God. *I* am the Cause of all goodness, My lambs. And I am the Way. And you are invited. The Journey exists because of Me, My lambs. The Footsteps are My Own. The Door is opened by Me, My lambs. It is your willing spirit, only your willingness which is needed along the Way. All else will follow. No constrictions. The Heights are My Own.
