Dear Jesus and Holy Mother,
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus! I LOVE You, my Lord, with my whole heart, mind and soul. Jesus, some have said to me, as a sort of "accusation" for "how I am with You", that I truly Love You, and that is why I write for You (inferring my Love for You creates Your Words). Well, my Lord, I stand guilty of Love. For I have obeyed You.....to Love You.....Your Law of Love.....but JESUS, I could not help but to fall into Love with and for You! I DO Love You with my whole heart and mind and soul! And as to Your Words.....well Lord, each heart must decide, discern, not judge (the person) but Love. But Lord, while each heart does what it must do, I shall continue to listen to You. And Love You. And obey You. And BE in You, as You Desire I be. To learn from You as You would teach me. Thank You, O Lord, for allowing us to be in You. May my heart never harden to Your Presence, my Lord. In You, O Lord, is Faith, Hope and Love. I cannot imagine being any Where else! Thank You, my Lord and my God! God be praised! Alleluia! Maranatha! Come, Lord Jesus! Amen! You have asked to "Come and follow" and I do, my Lord. To wherever You would take me. Jesus, I trust in You. My Jesus, see my heart on fire for You. Thank You, Holy Spirit, for hearing my ongoing plea to be enkindled in You! Thank You, Abba, for how You answer all prayer, in Your Greatness, not restricted by my weakness. Father, I believe in You. I wait for You. I am in You. But by Your Grace! Thank You, Lord. Thank You, Lord! All honour and praise is Yours! O God! Glory! Power! Might! O Love! I Love You! Amen!!
[The Lord speaks.....]
My people, hear Me when I speak to you. The Glory of God is evident in the lives of men. Men who are attentive to My Ways. Look among you. Where do you see Me? For I am alive in the hearts of My people. Look and see Me in one another. Look for Me. Truly look for Me. For in every living, breathing soul: there I am. You may not like the outside, but look to the inside. For here I am, residing in a heart.O! How often have we spoken of hearts? Hearts alive, as on fire for Me. Hearts deceased within a living body. How sad! There am I, the Life's Breath and Blood but the heart of My son, My daughter, is dead as through sin. Self-suffocation. Yet, I would breathe life! Would YOU be My Breath? Would YOU be My Life? Would you give your blood? What I mean is, would you give from your HEART, O lamb who I Love? Would you give even within the guise of being ridiculed. Would you give on blind Faith? Would you climb the hill with My Abraham? Would you willingly go that far? To believe in My Word? Or would you stumble and fall along the way upon the blockage of your own self-doubt?
Let us then, speak of Faith. True Faith. The Life that it brings. Why? Because you TRULY believe in Me. Not by mere lip-service. But by Grace! You accept Me as I am: God. Invisible, but visible. For you are re-tooled and see with the eyes of your heart. You find Me here and you stay in Me. You grow in Me, that soon enough, you come to live in Me. Afterall, lamb, is it not TRUE LIFE to which you are called? A life of Faith, Hope and Love: the complete Virtue of God?
See! It is to fullness that I call you! To BE in Me as I am in thee! Have you understood yet what I am calling you to? Do you realize yet, that you cannot accomplish the Journey on your own? Do you realize yet that it is upon ME that you must come to rely? Do you realize yet, that your OWN efforts are subject to human error. That True Life in Me raises your efforts to the plain of the Divine? Do you realize yet that True Life in Me is a life of commitment? Do you realize that you must GROW, not just tread water? Do you realize these things?
O lambs, DO hear Me! I speak that you might have life. But some do shut Me out. With their false judgment. They have seen, and not believed. They have heard and run from My Love Song, My Words to you. I have been accused of plagiarizing Myself! Yes! I have been pointed at: "How dare He.....is He not the Son of Mary? Is He not the carpenter's Son?" Yes! I have heard it before, My lambs! I have stood accused before. But did YOU ever think YOU would be in the role of accuser.....or listener? Have YOU ever thought that historical role would be yours? And which role shall you be? My accusers, or listeners? Are you willing to live a True Life in Me? Or are you willing to refuse.....to accuse Me? Have I not said, "What you do to the least of these children, so too, you do unto Me"? Are these not My Words? Or are you now, in the role of accuser and would you once again silence the Son of Man?
O lambs! DO hear Me! I am speaking now for ALL generations! Hear the Word of the Lord! As the lion roars in your midst, did you not think I would increase My Volume that you hear Me, finally? That My Voice and My Word would be heard and LIVED to bring all men to the Cross of Salvation? Did you not think that I Loved you that much? Have I not told you that I LOVE YOU? Did you not believe Me?
O lambs! It is with the greatest zeal for what truly belongs in My Temple, that I cast out what does not belong! With that same zeal, I proceed to come to you! I long so for a clean house: your soul. I long SO for you to LIVE in Me as I AM in thee! I pursue you. YES! God is pursuing His people.
[With MUCH passion, the Lord pleads with us.....]
TRULY, LAMBS, CAN YOU HEAR THE SOUND OF MY VOICE? I have cast down the enemy in the shadow of death. I have led you through a raging ocean. I have given you land upon which to live! I have given you Manna to eat in a desert. I have given you bread and wine and blessed it and made for you the Meal of My Flesh and My Blood! I have given you Hope in every cross, because I have drawn you to My Own Place: your Salvation in Me. I have Risen: I have fulfilled all Hope! I have Loved you! I DO Love you! I always will! I have blessed you with such a Faith! Come! Wash your eyes in the pool. Be healed! See! Believe! I give you faith! Use it! Believe in Me! Believe in Me! Believe in Me! Please! Believe in Me! Do not cast Me out of YOUR temple!I so long to remain! Please allow Me a place for my aching Heart! I would call your temple My Home! Will you rise in Me? Will you be in Me? Or will you accuse Me? Will you have Faith, which I have already given? Will you use your Gift? Will you BE in Me as I am in thee? Will you believe?
Children, THIS is prayer! Talking with God! I hear YOU. Do YOU hear ME? One in Me! In harmony! In unity! BE in Me! That I might be more fully visible in you. That God might be recognized. In the heart of His people.
Come, little lambs. Let us move. To richer pastures. In Me. I would guide you. I have met you. Here. Now, let us grow. One. In Me. As I am in thee. Now and forever. I am your Jesus. I am He. The Son of God. Amen. +

His Sarah
