I am preparing for the reading of Your Word, my Lord. And one of the Scripture Guides
poses some questions: Do we feel at ease with a God Whom, from our early childhood, is
seen as a dove or a bit of fire? Perhaps we should envision a lofty eagle? And Lord God, I
have begun to cry. "But when He comes, the Spirit of Truth, He will guide you to all
Truth." (John 16:13) And Lord! Holy Spirit! I LOVE You! And I am crying again for
sheer Love of You!! O Spirit of God! I have such a longing inside me. Yes, for fire, Your
Fire of Love to prevail! To roar with firey Love through every heart, mind, and soul. That
humanity would become ignited with God! With Love. All thinking aside. Trust in God! With
our mouths fallen open for the Wonder and Awe Which is You, O God! Holy Spirit, why is it
that we seem to ‘avoid’ the fullness of our life in You? Because of Your Nature
of Spirit, are we less inclined to go to You? Do we even judge God by the
‘shape’ in which we have come to know You? Do we trust Jesus because we can
envision His Humanity? And Abba because He is Fatherly? But do we tend to avoid You
because You are presented as Pure Spirit? Dove? Fire? O Holy Spirit! You are Love. All we
need do to find You and feel You is to hug our very selves or one another. And we have
touched You, for You are here within us. You are God! You are Love! You are the Gift of
Divine Presence from Jesus! For over 2000 years, are You the Priceless Gift we have not
quite or never unwrapped? And are we afraid? O God, Jesus has taught us not to fear. Fear
is of the enemy. Trust. Love. Confidence. Come Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of Your
Faithful and enkindle in us the Fire of Your Love. Send forth Your Spirit, and we shall be
created And You will renew the face of Your earth! And give us, O Most Loving, Gentle
Spirit, the Courage to receive the answer to this very prayer. To receive You Who are
Gift, bearing Gifts of Wisdom and Faith, Understanding and Prophecy, Counsel and
Discernment of spirits, Fortitude and Tongues. Knowledge and Interpretation, Piety and
Healing, Fear of the Lord and Miracles! Amen!! O God, forgive this weak sinner who I am.
Grant me the Grace, Your sweet Grace, to grow in the Gifts You have already bestowed. Most
especially those I obstinantly ignore or refuse. Amen.
Now child, Love is the free-flow river between us. It is this place of exchange where
we ARE together. Where we meet. See the river, child. See the Water. See the part you are.
Can you divide yourself from Me? Can you take even a spoonful of Water and divide the part
that is you from the part that is Me? No. You cannot. Then why, O children, do you
constantly withdraw yourself when you truly have no where to withdraw to. Do you
understand Me, children?
You are a creation of God Who is Me. I have raised you up above the ordinary, for into
you I have breathed a living, eternal soul. Therefore, you shall never truly die. Your
life is eternal in Me. That of this world shall pass away. But Life and Love is Eternal in
Me. And this is where I long for you to arrive. In Me. As clear as the liquid of the
Living Water of Which you are a part.
Why do you try to separate yourself? A drop of water into the wine becomes part of the
whole. Humanity into Divinity. But not quite yet. For there is conversion, Baptism,
Consecration. To take the ordinary and make it into the extraordinary. To remake you into
the fullness of My Image and Likeness.
O humanity! Fight Me no longer! O humanity! Come home! Refuse My attempts no longer at
fully entering your dwelling. And fear no longer, your entry into Mine. For I would absorb
you into the freedom of Me. Freedom in Me is the Breath you will breathe. I am God. And I
pursue you. I do not manipulate you. I invite you. I do not complicate you. I reduce you.
To Love.
The prince of this world would confound you. He is commanded to slither upon the
ground. And he would drag you each into his deceptive network if you would lower your own
expectations of self.
Children! Leave yourselves to Me. O! How I would assist you. To the fullness of life in
Me! I know it is difficult. I know it is hard. I am here to help you. To enliven you. I
have been waiting all your life. I am the Gift that needs unwrapping. My lambs, hear Me. I
speak that you might hear Me. Listen! I am the Whisper in your heart. My blessings are
upon you. My blessings are within you. Now let us touch. And be joined. In union in Me as
I would be in thee. Amen Alleluia.
Amen. (Come, Lord Jesus. Maranatha. Come, Holy Spirit. Alleluia.
Let us come to You, O Abba. In the Hands of Jesus, on the very Breath
of God. Amen!!) +
