Dear Jesus and Holy Mother,
My Lord, I am having difficulty writing. O my Lord, this pen chains me to the earth even as I can feel my spirit rising to You. O God! DO fill my heart! [I begin to pray in Tongues.....] I praise You, Lord God of Hosts! Sweet Jesus, I Love You. Come dwell under my roof for I am empty without You. Let me, O Lord, live within You. Let me stretch out my arms, and BE in You. Cry out! Cry out! Cry out, O voice! And declare the Glory of God! Come to me, Gentle Jesus! Fill me, O Lord. Teach me Your Ways! For I am now, like a blank piece of paper. Inscribe here, Lord, as You Desire. My Lord, I bow before You. My Lord, I come to do Your Will. Amen!!
Daughter, I DO listen to My people! I DO come to fill every heart. According to the Law. The Law of Love. See how Love must be stretched. It must be pliable. To grow. To be. If it remains rigid, it breaks. True Love never breaks. Come to Me, all, and I shall teach you of True Love.
There is a certain competition in men's hearts. Men compete for Love. They compete for favoured seats. They are searching for security. But the greatest security is achieved in relinquishing all of what you call "security" to Me. Of what do I speak? I speak of security of self.
Children, you do not see the precipice upon which you balance most of your life. You are resting, so often, on a pinnacle. In the slightest wind you could tumble and fall to the ground. You DO have a desire to be aloft near Me; but you cannot achieve a thing without the balance of a True Life in Me.
Daughters and sons, hear Me. There is a law which is to be observed. But the Law becomes Perfect in Love. Always in Love. For without Love, all becomes waste. Love reaches down from Heaven, My children. Daughter, write these words: The Son of Man has been born in the womb of the Virgin. His Love has been protected and nurtured that you might come to know how the Hand of God touches humanity. From the start of My existence here in the Womb of My Mother, My Incarnation, humanity participated in Divinity by relinquishing of self. Of Me to My Father. Of My Mother to My Father. Of My Joseph to My Father. Of all people who have preceded The Moment as they gave their lives for the Promise fulfilled.
Lambs, hear Me: Unless you are willing to relinquish self, no gain will be made. What would become of any footstep forward if the foot once planted in the past did not trust enough to move on? Sometimes what is required is blind Faith. Faith motivated by Trust. Trust thrust forward by Love. Love implanted by Me to grow. To lead. To follow. To BE. In Me.
There is a certain union which comes from such a life. A life of dependence upon God. Can you not see the Freedom here? O children! Would that you would walk blindly into My Loving Arms. Do you realize that for too many of you, it is your THOUGHT which bogs down your progress in Me? You cannot out-think My Mystery. For you to try, is to live a life of wasted moment. For you to ignore My Mystery is to cut off your supply of Faith. For with Faith you can believe the unbelievable. You can Hope. You can Trust.
Children, life is a time of motion. Of motion in Me. So many deny Me. But at least they are in motion. For you who believe, I ask you this: will you come and follow Me? To the extent that it is noticed that we ARE in motion. How can you give good example, unless you are alive in Me? Sweet things, hear Me. I am your God. It is I Who calls you forth. To be. To believe. To be. To act. To live on My Word. To act on My Word. Yes. Yes. Yes. To be in Me as I am in thee. To be. To never leave. To be loyal to My Word. Protective of My Word. To be alive in My Word. To say "yes" to My Word! To proclaim My Word by your act of living. Of dying to self. For My Sake.
The prophets heave foretold the Moment of My Birth. The prophets have foretold the time of My Dying. All prophesy is fulfilled in Me. Now, we teach. I teach you. You teach one another. The Way. How to be. Grow in Me. Through Love. Love present to His people. Love present here. Teaching here. Growing here. Being here. Amen. +

With Love, in the Two Hearts,
His Sarah
