Title: "Blessed are those who have not seen and have believed"

(Notebook XXXIV, pp. 68--77)

Live + Jesus

St. Thomas the Apostle,

Thursday, July 3, 1997

Dear Jesus and Holy Mother,

Child, I have summoned you here, ahead of our usual word to relate to you a story. (My Most Loving Lord, may I remain in You all the days of my life!!)

Little one, hear Me now. I am God, and I would tell you a story. Hear Me, O House of Israel. Hear Me, O Nations! Open your hearts, and hear the Word of the Lord. This Lord Who is your God! (Alleluia!!)

Look at the world around you, and see its condition: grave. Look at the hearts of man and see the condition: stone. Look at the ears of man and see the condition: deaf. Look at the eyes of man; you cannot, for you are blind.

Only the children hear and see and feel and touch and taste. Only the children arrive at My Lap. Only the children. For unless you come to Me as a child, you will not arrive in Me as I would have you be in Me. (O, Lord!) One in Me, child! I desire Oneness. (O, Lord!) Unity, I desire Unity. (O, Lord!)

Yet how can this be? This story is of Life, child. Life as it occurs in the world. That is why there are so few children sitting here near My Lap. That is why there are so few children freely sitting in My Company. Because the life being pursued is the way of the world: not My Way. Not My Way at all.

O LAMBS, I REACH OUT TO YOU, BUT YOU REFUSE MY ADVANCE! O LAMBS, I WOULD SPEAK TO YOU, BUT YOU HARDEN YOUR HEARTS. YOU CLING TO MY CREATION AND CLAIM IT FOR YOUR OWN!

Children, creation is to serve ME! Why do you persist in your endeavors to overpower Me? Have you so willingly swallowed the lure of the enemy? Has he begun to reel you in? Are you now ready to be gutted as his fish? To be consumed in the fires of hell? Are you aware that you are about to become the feast of the beast? Are you? O CHILDREN, I BEG YOU: LOOK AROUND AT WHERE YOU ARE! WHO ARE YOU REALLY SERVING? Yourself? You in him? Or are you really in Me? Good in name, being done for personal motive, is no real good at all. Not in My Eyes!

STOP! STOP NOW, I SAY. I WARN. I DO NOT CONDEMN. That time is reserved. I WARN YOU NOW BEFORE YOU CONDEMN YOUR VERY SELVES!

Children, you are alive right now, are you not? What life do you lead?

There truly is no middle. This is a test to be answered "yes" or "no." Do you believe in Me? Do you follow Me? Everywhere? Do you do as I request of you: specifically? Or do you do as you would mold the life around you? Are you of Truth or are you of lie? What are your motives? Is it to satisfy Me? Or to prove your own self-appointed point?

Children, you are to think! You are to challenge yourselves. Is this not espoused by My Church, My Bride, your Mother? Whose life are you to be a part of? Mine? Or your own, molded exclusive of Me? How can you espouse to be of Me when you would create your own way? Whose life are you leading? Truly? Mine? Or yours? Do I sound less than loving? O, no, children! To the contrary! Love loves you so much that Love would capture you. But I restrain Myself, that you would come freely into My Hands.

I speak now of belief. What do you believe? Do you believe in Me? Am I God? Am I absolute Good? Then why would you be attracted elsewhere?

Seeing is believing. Look at Me. See how I am in Life to you. I am the Way. Do you live as if you believe Me? I am the Truth: have I ever spoken or lived other in your vision or in your heart? I am the Life. Have you ever truly felt stifled in My Midst—when you have freely given yourself to Me.

Stop now. Pause now. And LOOK upon Me! What do you see? A wounded Lord! A God of Mercy, for I am a Risen Lord. See the Reality of My Life in My Wounds. Blood poured out in Love for you. Do you believe in Me? Yes or no. Will you follow Me? Yes or no. That is that. I await you.

 

 

Now, I skip several lines, for I hope to look and see that in the blank, you have filled yourself there. In Me. And if so, then let us continue. I am the Way and the Truth and the Life. You are here now, I know that is your belief.

Children, I speak to you of My Life into Which I have called you to be. In Me. As I am in thee. This is the Purpose: True Life in God. Not mere words, but LIFE! Do not defend the words, LIVE the words. The Word is Life. Have you ever understood Me?

Now I ask you to do something: right now. Come: wrap your very arms around Me. Me! Living, breathing Me! See! You believe, yet you cannot touch Me. You believe, though you cannot see Me. You Love Me, though you cannot grasp Me. Precisely: I have blessed you. O LAMBS!

I LOVE YOU!

I am the Way. I am the Truth. I am the Life. I am you Way to a true Life in God: I AM God. My Way is Life. My Way is Truth. My Way is My Own, and I invite you there. I invite you here. Now. Come. I challenge you, your thought. Why? Because I love you.

I would possess you if you would permit. But you cannot possess Me. You are the creation. I am you Creator. Remind yourself often that I am God, and you are not. Now, I do not laud this over you. I invite you into the fullness of Me. But how would you arrive here? But by My Way. Which I provide to you. Would you board a ship to set sail upon the ocean without a boarding ramp? See the ship. See the ramp. See you. I am the ship. The Truth. Yes, the Church. The invitation is the ramp. The life upon which you walk into the fullness in Me. How else will you board this Ship Which is Me? And I increase My Ways, lest I lose a single soul. All hearts are welcomed. Do not be the instigator of the loss of one soul.

Live! Live! Life! Life! Breathing, living life in Me! True Life, for I am Truth!

So, what am I saying to you? Does the Message ever really change? Have you yet, completely, begun to live in Me? As I am in thee? Life is My gift to you. True Life is your life advancing into Me. Back to Me. Through Me. I am the Way. I am the Life. I am the Way to a True Life in God. And I speak to you, endlessly, that you might become fully Mine.

Now, I complete the story. Yes? It is a true story. Yes? Of Life, True Life in Me. Yes? Of Life. True Life. In Me. Yes? Are you feeling Life? Are you feeling Love? When I say I am the Way to True Life in God, how do you feel? If in ANYWAY there is agitation within you, then let us look to your growth. What in you needs pruning? Come, let us look. For True Life cannot exist until the dead branches are lopped away. New life will blossom on the branch where pruning has occurred. Less of you. More of Me. Be willing. Come forth. Here. To Me. Now. Will you?

Read My Word, children. This has been the story I would tell. And I have told it. Now read My Word. It is My Message for this day.

Amen. +

 

(Eph. 2:19-22; Ps. 117:1-2; Jn. 20:24-29)

 

"Divine Love suffices to prevent us from willfully doing anything which

could displease the Beloved of our souls. Indeed, I cannot understand

how a heart that belongs to God and truly wishes to love Him, can

deliberately offend Him." (St. Margaret Mary; II, 375; reading for July 3.)

 

With Love, forever in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary,

His Sarah
