Title: "Come to a decision. Now."
(Notebook XL, pp. 7--13)

Dear Jesus and Holy Mother,
Child, will you record these words of your God? (Yes, my Lord and my God!!)
Daughter, move your hand across this page and place here for Me, My Word.
Now: That statement stands alone. Look at it, all who read. What do you think of it? Do you think it is true? Do you think it is false? What do you think? Come to a decision. Now.
Child who reads, let Me talk to your heart. How have you answered My question? Let Me tell you something. Regardless of how you have answered, you are proceeding here because I have led you here. If I cannot at first encourage you in Faith, then I shall appeal to your sheer curiosity. Yes! I see your heart. You know, and so do I! [Jesus smiles with deep Love.]
Who would speak for Me? Will you? Will you witness to My Voice by your actions? Will you go beyond yourself and be My Presence to this thirsty world? Will you quench the hunger and thirst for Truth by your witness that I AM present to My people?
Christmas is coming. And I have come! I am here! Yes! God is with you NOW! Lambs, DO hear Me. I AM speaking to you. And you know, by the Faith with which I have gifted you, that I am God. If you did not believe this, you would have stopped reading long ago. So now, we speak no longer of Authority, but of Life. True Life. True Life in God. True Life in Me. That is where the growth is needed: Where do you stand within True Life in Me? Do you believe that I am the Life? That I am the Word. Is it within My Authority to speak? Then am I not the Life? Am I not a Way, as I have said? A Way to a True Life in Me? How have you grown? Here in My Life? My True Life? DO see the Pharisees, the Scribes. They challenge My Word. Are you there among them: judging and listening from afar? Or are you HERE, LIVING My Word?
(O my sweet Lord, may I tell you something? May I praise You? Lord, we have paused as I brought Bob to school. It is SO cold, only 9 degrees (F). How easy it is in the coldness of this world, to retract into oneself! Yet Lord! You have painted Your morning sky with streaks of bright blue and pink! You have placed those bold streaks on a pastel morning sky! You have hung Your moon as it sets into the western sky! And You have placed us here in Your Warmth! O! I Love You, my Lord and my God! I am sorry for interrupting You, Jesus, but You fill me with such praise! My eyes are filled with Your Glory! My heart bursts with gratitude and Awe and Wonder. Praise be to You! O God of all the universe! My heart is full in You, O God! You have warmed my very soul! You alone are the Artist. All others are Your pupils! Still me, Lord, lest I continue to flow and fill this space which I render to You!!)
O My intimate Sarah, you have filled a place in My Heart. (O Lord, thank You. I pray today with St. Margaret Mary, "What are the joys of life where nothing is lasting? They pass like a dream, and I cannot understand how a heart which loves God and which seeks Him can take any pleasure save in Him alone." -- "Thoughts & Sayings of St. Margaret Mary for December 15.)
Child, you have brought yourself back to Me. For this is the topic: How can you be in Me if you choose to be first, in yourself? If you search for Me, then do find Me. See? I do not hide Myself. I paint Myself before your eyes! I do not hide in secret, I fill you heart! I am not silent, I speak! To your heart! When, O when, dear children, will you cease to challenge Me? Do you not hear all I ask of you? Yet you would doubt Me. So, I shall wait for you. O child who is blind: Soon enough the scales will fall from your eyes. Soon enough will your heart again begin to soar. I have seen you fly. On heights you never thought possible. But you have retracted your wings. The wings I had made for you. You did not know how to fly, and so I have sent to you a companion. To teach you. How to soar with the eagles. How to fly low, here in My Garden. You have tasted the nectar from My garden. From the choicest flowers have you sipped. You shall return. Perfection is calling you. Perfection waits for you. For our perfect moment. What I have given, I have given for your use. That you might grow. To be. In Me. Yes, in the company of another, but wholly of you within Me. Each one, unto Me.
Sweet lamb, hear Me. Is anything I am saying touching a note in your heart. Is there not ONE familiar chord being played in your heart? O yes, you can go off and stand with those who would challenge Me. Who would dare to try to trick their Master. Who are challenged themselves by My Presence here. But I would have you here, in My Garden. Flying freely in Me rather than being stifled there, within your own thoughts.
God has come to his people. God is here with His people. God is here with you. Here I am. Talking. To your heart. Do you not hear Me? Or are you STILL standing with skepticism, watching every move I make? O lamb, let down your defense. Come to Me.
Sweet lambs, hear Me. You can hear. Or refuse to. I can touch your heart and My Words will bring forth Life. Or you can refuse. I can speak freely. And you can doubt. But where is the growth? Perfection is speaking to His people. Perfection is speaking to YOU! Why would you settle for less than Perfection? Why would you settle for less than Me? A Life in Me? A True Life in Me? In Me? Yes, IN Me? How shall you BE, but in Me?
My lambs, come here. I would hold you to My Breast. I would nurture you and console you. I would teach you and Love you. I would do all things for you because I Love you. But I will stop short of your will. For I would have you approach in an act of Freedom. O sweetness! I Love you. Amen! +
