Dear Jesus and Holy Mother,
My Lord, thank You for Your morning's sunrise, for Your Invitation to join You to see
Your sun rise. My Lord, I have prayed in the darkness of morning, and then the glow
of
sky which was awakening to the dawn. And then, my Sweet Lord, Your sun has peered
over the mountains and placed itself just aside of our tree. And the star of Your
morning, my Lord, has risen and warmed me on this crispy cold autumn morning. Good
morning
again, my Lord. I give myself to you, O Lord. My mind, my heart, my soul, my
body.
Bathed in Your Light, O Lord, I give myself to You!! My Lord? Again I think
You have duped me. Again I can see that You have Lovingly played me into Your Hands.
I Love
the innocence You give me, Lord. I Love You, Lord, for reclaiming Your Innocence.
I
offer all I am to You, my Lord. Amen!!
Daughter, write these words: Yes, I have called you forth on this, My New Day,
to rise with Me even as My creation rises in My Heavens. I have filled you with My
Love. I have seen My Reflection in you, child, even as I have seen you warmed by My
Morning star. To start the day with Me, to live the day with Me. To Live Life
with Me. This is the call. I would awaken all My children to the fact that a
new day is dawning in their lives. Hear Me, O lambs, your Lord is calling to you:
Arise and join Me in My New Day.
Child, children of Mine, I do ask you for all your possessions. All that you
own is in truth, Gift from Me. See it that way, lambs. Possessions are not
your right. They are your Gift. Look and see those with less, and be grateful
for your gift. And share what you have that others may live. But lambs, the
greatest possession is self. The giving of self. The dying of self. This
is what all are called to. To live in Me that you may die to Me so that you may rise
in Me.
Live in the world, but not of it. Does this begin to make any sense yet, in
your
development? Are you growing yet, in Me? Do you see the sense of it yet?
Be IN the world but not OF it. Some are called to remove themselves [from
the world] but none are exempt from the touch of this world. And so, I repeat:
Be IN the world, but not OF it.
Lambs, you are to be more than a people of law and order. You are to be My
Creation of Love. Do you not observe that if you truly loved, there would be
little need for law? Would there not be ORDER if the world was filled with LOVE?
Am I not Love? Am I not Order?
You must look beyond the world in which you live. You must keep a focus upon
Me constantly. Even as My morning star rises and its brilliance blinds you, so too,
the things of this world can lure you. They would blind you to the Truth. Your
life is but a respite on the way to eternity. But, to which eternity you will belong
is being decided now by your own actions in this respite of Life which you lead.
Lambs, know that all I have I give to you. I grant you My Wisdom and all My
Good, Virtuous Gifts. You possess them from the Moment of Baptism. Do
you use THESE Gifts as often as you do your.....television? Yes, I watch you
watching the world there. But, do you employ what I have given that you might BE in
the world that I have created to bring ME into the lives of others? To bring ME,
first, into the life YOU lead? You have possessions. I have given GIFTS.
There is no charge for what I give. All is given freely. And freely I
await the return of your soul to Me.
O! How you pursue the rush of a sale. To save money which is not
everlasting.
When do you rush to save your soul? When do you rush for the free Gift of
Reconciliation? When do you PURSUE the Body and Blood of My Son? When do
you PURSUE a sincere act of kindness to your neighbor in need?
Do you comprehend Me yet, My children? O lambs of My Son, when He has invited
you to come and follow, THIS is what He has meant! When He has invited you to give
up all that you have and to follow, it is to relinquish your CONTROL over possessions and
to ACCEPT them back as Gifts. To learn to use all you have wisely, by the Good
Use of the Gifts which rise like a morning star in your hearts.
Your Grace-filled soul is the most priceless possession you "own."
It is yours. To keep. To return. Or to condemn. What will be your
choice? What will be your action? What will be the judgment? You present
your own case. Your heart, alone, before Me. Come. Give up all that you own,
and possess God. I invite you. I call you. Will you come? It is
called CONVERSION. To see and believe and to live according to Me. You will
have gone nowhere, yet gained everything. Because of conversion. Conversion
in Me. True Life in Me. True Life in Me. Converted life. True
Life. Full of Love. In Me. Will you do it? Do more than
obey? Will you Love? Will you BE? In Me?
I wait. To see if you are willing to rise with Me. I wait. Will
you come?
