Feast of St. GeorgeDear Jesus and Holy Mother,
[The Lord speaks.....]
Let us discuss vision. Let us discuss what it is which is truly seen in the heart of every man. Truth. I am Truth. Have you ever seen Truth, My little ones? Then let us look at Truth in your life. Perceptive is a way of looking at things. Perceptive can be created by you. Truth is Me. There can be a difference, little ones, if you are not looking through My Eyes.Child, describe what you have seen. (My Lord, today I am sitting near the window with the same view as these past days. But there is a chill in the air, and gray sky and the horizon is almost lost. And within prayer, "plain as day", I have seen a palm tree! It surprised me, Lord.....here in Maine.....a palm tree!) Child, let us write. (Yes, my Lord.)
Little one, hear Me. There is a need to keep in focus on the present place you are in Me. I speak now to you who writes, you who reads.
Do you stand your ground with Me here where we are? Or do you move on in search of something more pleasing to you? I have been killed for My Stand in life; My apostles arrested, accused just like Me. [Yet] For some who would choose to stand where they are, refuse to see the Truth of the moment they are in. [Ref. to today's reading from acts....the trial before the Sanhedrin.] Reality is that you ARE where you are in this very moment. Reality is that *I* am there as well. What you see can be seen with My Eyes, or with your own. Reality is to know there is no palm tree on the coast of Maine, yet there is one somewhere where it is nurtured and grows. There is Hope in the fact that a palm tree sways in the sun of a warm, balmy climate. There is reality that into every day there comes overcast skies and lost horizons. But in both situations am I, if you prefer to see Me over the situation around you. If you see only accusations, you can quickly forget Me. If you stay focused on Me, then your accusations become a way of binding yourself to Me. I am, afterall, your strength.
O children, so many of you look for ways to improve your perspective on life. Why do you slight Me? All of where you look, all of what you seek has been created, afterall, by your God! If there is a "bad" within it.....I speak of immorality.....it has come from your own bad use of the Goods I have given to you. Know this, little ones, the Ideal is for you to let your perspective converge with My Truth. Then, your outlook will be Mine. Your vision will be Mine. You will see the Hope in the moment because you witness to the Truth.
Truly, there are no lost horizons. All fog an be lifted by My Forgiveness of your sins. But you must come to Me in Truth. An honest heart. For, if you are to proclaim to the world that I have come to save you of your sin, you must be willing to first admit I came for YOU! I died for YOU. Because you do sin! You cannot properly exist in a world YOU have created with bent truth, lost horizon, smoke-filled vision and planted memories which truly do not belong. If there is a healing need for each man's heart, it is the healing of the soul! More than the cure of any disease, there is a cure of the heart which is needed. For what good is a recovered body in a dead heart? A heart dead to sin grieves My Vision of you. A heart wandering in darkness looking for Light, is My Delight. I shall walk across the foggy water to rescue you! O sinner! For you to be released from your bondage, because it is YOUR desire, is the elation of My Soul!
Let the Truth be known! Declare the Truth. But first, to Me! Let Me burn away from you all that blocks your true vision in Me. I say: true vision in Me, for I AM Truth. And it will be with My Eyes with which you come to see!
I give you Hope. I fill you with Faith. I pour upon you My Love. I GROW you. Here in My Vision! I am Reality. I am Truth. See clearly in MY Vision. Children, I cannot emphasize this enough! Abandon the ways of the world. Be in the world in ME.
What has My John [today's Gospel] and My Luke [the reading from Acts] spoken of today? To be in Truth. I am Truth. Amen. +
(Acts 5:27-33; Ps. 34:2, 9, 17-20; John 3:31-36)
With Love, in the Two Hearts,
His Sarah
