Title: "Promises broken can be upheld in Love."

Dear Jesus and Holy Mother,

Now child, pick up your pen and come follow Me. Record the words of My Gospel. (Yes, Lord. Mt. 19:13-15)

"Then children were brought to Him that He might lay His Hands on them and pray. The disciples rebuked them, but Jesus said, "Let the children come to Me, and do not prevent them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these. After He placed His Hands on them, He went away."

Amen, child, I say this to you and to all who are privy here: unless you become like a child, you shall not enter My Father’s Kingdom. No one rebukes children, least of all Me. Child, write these words for your Lord. (Yes, Jesus!!)

Hear Me, O House of Israel. Hear Me, O House of My New Jerusalem. I address the whole, entire world now as I speak to you. See that Gentleness is My Way. Yet I am stern in My Way as well. Stern that you obey. Gentle that you must freely grow into My Way. The Sternness of Me and the Gentleness of Me, give forth to My Mercy. My Mercy is Great and flows like milk and honey upon a land that is starving for the proper nourishment of Me. In hunger do the nations seek after things of this world. And the more one dines upon the things of this world, the more malnutritioned you become. For to include the world, but to the exclusion of the Maker, is to feast upon a very improper diet.

Now I speak to you of Nutrition, children, because I speak of the Living Word Which I feed you. Your diet must be balanced, lambs, to survive in good health. Come, let us look closely of which I speak.

Promises are made to be kept, are they not? And so, when a promise is made before Me, it is not made lightly. And the circumstances surrounding your promise may change. But one thing does not change: the promise made with your own free will. Now, children, think within your being. What promises have you made that you no longer keep? Promises made to man are of one calibre, but promises made to God are very serious. They are called vows and great care must be made in the promise and in your witness of this promise to Me. So now, I stand here and say: What of the promises you have made? And if any of you stand guilty of broken promises before Me, I now tell you this: You begin to feel a need for conversion within your being.

Now daughter, Sarah, further record the verse of concern from Joshua. [I did not fully understand part of this morning’s Scripture.] (Yes, Lord. Today’s first reading, Joshua 24:14-29, and in particular verses 19-20.)

"Joshua in turn said to the people, ‘You may not be able to serve the Lord, for He is a holy God; He is a jealous God Who will not forgive your transgressions or your sins. If, after the good He has done for you, you forsake the Lord and serve strange gods, He will do evil to you and destroy you.’"

Now daughter, I ask you, where is the Mercy in that? It has been said I do not contradict Myself. And it is written "His Mercy endures forever." And I have said to bring the children unto Me. So I say here now: I am not a God of contradiction. I am a God of Completion. You must be willing to take the Whole of Me to be fully Nourished in My Word.

Daughter, the balance is in the Old and the New. For I am the Completion. But look now, to the Patience. For this Journey preceded the Desert. And the Journey lasted 40 years in the Desert. And beyond the Desert there was the waiting for the fulfillment of Promise, Who is Me. And those not properly balanced in the diet of My Word, missed Me. And the balance to My Word is Tradition. The "how" of your life. Yes. And the "how" of your life becomes molded from the lived expression of My Word. And I have placed My Spirit above all and in all of My Church so that this Balance would exist. The lived experience through Tradition and the ongoing Nourishment of My Word through Scripture. And it is all bound in Love in My Bride, My Church.

Promises have been made by God to His people. And My Church is the Witness to the Fulfillment of the Promise. But not all are here, child, for some have missed the Value in My Meal. Before they have even reached My Banquet Table, they have become absorbed in words which are their own to the exclusion of Mine. Promises made, easily broken, for they have not waited long enough for the whole meal to fully digest within their spirits. Yet, the Promise remains.

Let Me tell you something, children. I leave a living witness in this world which is a testimony to My Presence: My Church. Scripture and Tradition. My Bride who gives forth eternally: Life. In Me. As I would be in you. For that is My Promise to you. And I never break my Promise.

But then of you. And your broken promise of what you would do which remains undone. Why? For you are not properly nourished. The balance of your diet is off. And I come now, here in word, to improve your attitude, the health of your soul.

Children, to remain in the old, states I am not of forgiveness. Yet, in the Completion into the New, I AM Forgiveness. For I am a God of Mercy and Great Compassion. And I would ask you this day to lay here at My Feet, any promise you can no longer keep and I will show you in the depths of your heart how this becomes a possibility.

How? Through Love. Promises broken can be upheld in Love. Love in a heart is a powerful tool, children. Promises in Love are everlasting. Love never dies, children. Love is Eternal. And any valid and true promise is made with Love in mind, or it is not a good promise. And in Me there is conversion. And in Me there is Pure Love. And Forgiveness. And Growth. And return to the fullness of My Way.

I ask you one thing: if you stand guilty of broken promises, give the broken parts to me. I will make it whole. Now, do not presume the image of the promise once made whole in Me, for I tell you this further:

Any good thing, any promise you have made, is to bring YOU fully into Me. So be not concerned with the "how" of the outcome of the rendering of self from you to Me. Trust that the result will be more of YOU in ME. As it should be. As it is. Even NOW, even HERE. Yes, YOU, child. Give Me the promises you can no longer keep. Give Me the promises broken. I will make all things one in Me. For it is the promise of YOU to ME which is to be kept. And I shall assemble all the other parts.

You shall see, dear one. But you must Trust in Me. For look: I keep

My Promise. Its Truth is marked here, plainly, upon My Cross. The

Wounds. The Imprints. The Blood-stained Cross has given way to Life,

Eternal, in My Father. The Promised Land. In My Father’s House. The

Land of Promise. My Father’s Heavenly Abode. Amen +

"Keep me safe, O God; in You I take refuge. I say to the Lord, You are my Lord, You are my only good. Lord, my allotted portion and my cup, You have made my destiny secure. I bless the Lord Who counsels me. I keep the Lord always before me; with the Lord at my right, I shall never be shaken. You will show me the path to life, abounding joy in Your Presence, the delights at Your Right Hand, forever." (Today’s Psalm 16:1-2,5,7-8-11)

With Love, in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary,

His Sarah
