Dear Jesus and Holy Mother,
O Lord, this pen has hovered long enough over this page! It seems I cannot come to place here, words of Praise to You, because my spirit has erupted into Tongues! I offer to You, O Lord, the Words You place within me, that the Tongues which is formed gives You Praise. My Lord, like an empty funnel, I give myself to You. Holy Spirit of God, fill this self which I willingly empty before You. Fill me as You like, my Lord and my God. Amen. Alleluia! .....And even as I utter these words to You, my Lord, I smell Your Holy Fragrance! God be praised! And quite suddenly, there is a deep ache within my chest! O Lord, for whatever reason it is present (the ache), thank You, Lord. I offer the all and everything of me as You have created me, as You have reworked me, to You, O Lord. Amen. Alleluia.
Sweet thing, Sarah, hear Me. I the Lord, absorb you. I the Lord, visit you constantly. Because in your abode I am welcome. In your abode do I live. It is Grace which attracts Me. My Father's Gift to you prepares the seat for My Glory within you. I reign here: in your heart. Because you welcome Me. Because you invite Me. Because you encourage Me by your relinquishing of self unto Me.
Child, lambs, hear Me. All who receive Me worthily, declare this open invitation. That I should come under your roof, to dwell, to stay, to be. In you. Ah! Yes! You have invited Me. And I WOULD be as you have spoken. But from the sincerity of your heart. I see your desire, for Me to be in you. Yet child who reads, it is then that I begin to absorb YOU. YOU become a part of ME. And as we become ONE, magnificent things begin to occur. Others look upon you, and they see ME! And that, dear lambs, is as it should be!
Hear Me now as I speak. Do you present Me to the world around you? What do others see? A mixed message? Truth? Love? Fiction? Reality? Denial? Of My Presence? Or declaration that the Kingdom of God has arrived? What do others see? But more importantly, children, what do YOU see when you look into a mirror? What do I see in the depths of your soul? For, to be in Me is to lead a life of utter honesty. Honesty before God. Honesty before self.
What would you give to be Mine? How would you repay Me for My Presence in your life? I truly ask no monetary wealth. I ask for the richness of your soul. Your "yes" of your life which you would render to Me. Life is magnificent when it is lived within Me. The Glory of God resounds within the heart of one who dwells within My Spirit. Unity is obvious. Others see it. Others know it.
Child, I enter each heart to the degree I am invited. And each heart responds as they are able or willing. This is a process. A process in progress, or not. For, so many times, I am shoved from the seat which was royally prepared. All too often, I am asked to leave the banquet which was given in My Honour. My Soul breaks, My Heart breaks, for the rejections I receive. Look not to the refusal at Calvary. See that those same voices lauded Me on My entry into Jerusalem. Where in the crowds are you? Where in your heart? (O Lord! Jesus! My left hand aches so! I kiss it, Lord! May I be ONE in You! By Your Grace! Only by YOU!)
Sarah. (Yes, Lord?) Do not drift away. (Lord, I will not leave You.)
Zacchaeus climbed up to see Me. He climbed down to welcome Me. He gave from himself to be in Me. As he knew, to the disbelief of those watching us, that I would come into his abode. A welcome mat I will not refuse, especially when it is laid outside an open heart. I shall enter. I shall call it home. I shall be there. I shall dwell there. I shall breathe there. I shall BE there. And WE shall be there: you and I. And we shall share a life together. Now, that we shall be together forever in My Father's House. And all shall come to look upon you, and see Me there. They shall look and BELIEVE that I am present there. And God WILL be present to His people. Through you. My open heart. My entry. YOU.
O lambs! I pour My Love Generously upon you! O My lambs! I cling you to My Breast! O My lambs! BE IN ME AS I AM IN THEE! PLEASE! I DESIRE YOU! I would offer you to My Father! And He would breathe on you! And My Spirit would enter You! And remake you! Your vision will clear. You will hear My Word and Live. Life as it should be lived! In Me. Be in Me. Be in My Heart. See your inside! See your heart! I am here, child. I am here, all children. God has come. God is present to His people. I speak plainly I would capture you I would hold you To My Breast Now and forever. Be Mine. Amen, My lambs. So be it. Be Mine!
In Peace and Love and Joy, I am your Jesus. Amen.
