Dear Jesus and Holy Mother,

O Jesus, Jesus, Jesus!! I feel as though I am a child, sitting before You---waiting for You to speak, that I might learn from You, my Lord. O Jesus, I am nothing without You. Teach me, O Lord. Console me, O Lord. Jesus, Jesus, Jesus!! Amen. Alleluia. Maranatha.

Child, look and see that the bench is empty. [Many times when I am "with" Abba, it is as though we are sitting on a bench together.] See where once you sat, now there is naught. For here you are, child. Here, in the Hands of My Father. He has been the one now, to hold you.

(O Lord!)

Daughter, you are searching for a place to be in Me and you are already here. Look and see! Here, in the Hand of My Father! Here in the Heart of your Lord. Here in the gentle touch of My Mother. Here in the urgings and yearnings of My Spirit. Take each step in prayer. (Jesus, Jesus, Jesus! May Your Holy Name be the beat in my heart. May each step today be covered in Your Most Precious Blood. My Lord and my God, I bow in Reverence before You. Amen. Alleluia. Amen.)

You are in this world, child, but not of it. You shall see. (Thank You, my Lord. Jesus! I Trust in You!! Jesus, may my mouth speak in Love and Kindness. May my manner reflect only You. O Jesus, I DO Trust in You. Amen.)

And daughter, I accept your Trust. Blindly do My lambs follow. And the enemy can set no snare that will entrap you. You will see, child, your feet will be guided in My Way. Hear now, these Words of your Lord:

A man sets forth on a journey. Clear vision is his. Duty sits before him, and like a child, it beckons him forth. But duty to God is the underlying way. Duty to God is the only way. Duty to man must be seen only through eyes which serve God. For as you walk this way, within this world, many challenges come you way. And the way will be cleared by God. With no input or help from you. For I would have you understand, O man, that to carry out My Will, truly you are the most unnecessary part of the action. Yet, I invite you into My Plan that you might roam about within it to live and to learn. And what of your bargains with God? They are worthless, child. Because My Love for you is so great that I would do all and everything for you, even if you avoid Me. Even if you run from Me. And so, do you not think that if you were trying to BE in Me that I would BE for you? No bargain, but BEING. What could you ever bargain and offer to Me that would truly please Me. Child who hears, it is YOUR HEART that I desire. A freely given heart. Children: there are no bargains in God. There is only LIFE. True life. Honesty. Conviction: that I will be your All and Everything. That I Am.

Before you, now, I place My Word. Read and understand. For I have told you its meaning. Now, let your eyes fall upon it. Yes, child, indicate that of which I speak. (Yes, my Lord. Your first Reading, Judges 11:29-39. And Your Psalm, Lord, Ps. 40:5,7-10.)

And now, I speak to you of true Life, true Life in Me. You have seen that you cannot bargain to please Me. I invite you freely. But even then, as you enter My Domain, you must be prepared. Yes! The condition of your soul! How necessary is it that you willingly leave behind your sinful ways, your tainted heart, your soiled garments. So often in this life do I provide to you opportunities to prepare your heart for a full Life in Me. And so many opportunities do you miss! Blatant and bold, at times am I. That I would attract you. Freely. So many refusals do I receive. You are not prepared for Me. You refuse Me! I am your God. But you do not see it that way! How hardened is your heart.

Now lambs, hear Me. The condition of a heart is paramount to Me. The condition of YOUR heart is paramount to Me. See, little ones, you spend too much time in caring for the sin upon your brother’s heart, when you have not cared enough for your own. How often have you wondered of the wedding guest. How could he have entered a banquet ill-prepared. Yet you have thought of My Mercy as you see the ill-suited guest escorted away from My Banquet. Only those who are cleansed may enter. At My Table, all trickery ceases. All cover-ups are exposed. All Light is shed. All darkness ceases to be.

Little lambs, I can see that your feet rest upon this meadow in the world where I have placed you. Yet, you are called to come forth, that I may carry you. And as this process ensues, you are cleansed. More and more of the meadow which has clung to your feet, falls away. And more and more do you become Mine. At My Bidding. At My Invitation. At My Instruction. In My Forgiveness. In My Mercy.

Do you begin to see? The invitation is yours, yes. But likewise, you know in your heart how it is that you should BE in Me. And sooner or later you will come to see that the bargains you arrange not only are not of Me, but they are in fact against Me and displeasing to Me. O tongue! How often have you sinned in My Hearing! O tongue [of man] it would be better that you are cut out than to proclaim one falsehood or one bargain against those who sit now here, cleansed in My Presence. Yet, tongue to which I speak, I say this: let Me hear you utter one word of sorrow, and you shall find a Joy and even Glee within Me. For you will declare with your lips the sacrifice I have awaited: your own contriteness and witnessed by your eyes which see. And your ears which hear. Many are called and few are chosen. Would that you join My chosen. Leave the bargains of this world behind and come follow Me. Conniving and plotting are marks of the devil. Remove these outer garments of destruction. I desire Purity of Heart.

Come be My guest. The Banquet Table is set. Here now, I await you.

But, enter prepared. According to My Word. By My Love. I await you. O! So Patiently do I await you! Enter prepared. The Lesson is before you. It is the Blood Which fills My Cups. It is the Bread of Life you eat. The Feast of My Body and Blood. The Scene of all Conversion. Come, little one, be washed clean in the Blood of the Lamb!

Do you see, yet, how I Love you? Are you seeing yet? Are you hearing yet? Are you ready to enter, finally, My True Life? I am not a bargain. I am Life. Amen. I am Life. Amen. I am the Way. Amen. I am the Truth. Amen. I am Yahweh. Amen. I am God. Amen. I wait.

Amen. For you. +

(Mt. 22:1-14)

With Love, in the Two Hearts,

His Sarah
