Dear Jesus and Holy Mother,
My servants follow Me. Child, write these Words. (Yes,
my Lord and my God. I bow before You, O King of my soul.
Sweet Jesus, I Love You.)
My Glory must be known in men's hearts. But how can My Glory
be known, visibly, in a hardened heart? The cause of all hardness
is a tolerance to sin. A tolerance to sin, yes. For how can
you open, give your heart to Me, if you retain the greater part for yourself?
How can I heal you, if you refuse to give the greater part to Me, at least,
a little at a time? How can you truly be IN Me unless you are at
least WILLING to admit your fault. And I tell you this: The
greatest measure of your own sinfulness is the measure of your True Love
for your neighbor.
How do you Love one another? How well do you forgive one another?
How agitated are you by your neighbor's action? Think now.
How often do YOU express displeasure over the actions of another?
When this occurs, My lambs, I would instruct you to look deeply into YOURSELF;
for there is something in YOU, that you cannot accept the fault of another.
There is a difference between the fault of your neighbor and your own.
You are not to be judged on HIS fault, but upon your OWN. I do not
accept "finger pointing" as an excuse, little ones!
Hear Me, lambs. There comes a time in your life where utter
silence shall fill your mouth and you shall watch your own heart, your
soul, as it passes before My Light of Truth. The transparency of
your soul will be measured, to see how well you permit My Truth to pass
through YOU. When I find a darkness there, I shall show it to you.
You will not be able to speak in your defense, but only to gaze, to look,
upon the ugliness of your fault.
As I Love you uniquely, you shall see your sin before Me, as it is
unique unto you. You shall see the house of cards which you sent
tumbling by even one act of unforgiveness on your part. And if you
are to utter one thing, it will be a cry of sorrow and sometimes, yes,
a scream of sorrow, for what it is you shall see. No more fingers
to point. No more excuses to make. Only utter Truth.
You in My Hands, the Hands of Truth. What shall you do? "But,
but, but." No.....this is not a word to be used. No words.
Only Truth.
Forgive one another NOW as I forgive you. And likewise, you
can only be forgiven of your sin which you willingly bring before Me in
your Act of Repentance. I am Mercy. But yes, I am Justice,
too.
Why should you ever act offended. Do I act offended?
I say, come to Me, all who labour and are weary, for I shall give you rest.
Do you know that oftentimes, weariness is next to sinfulness? Do
you know that to be weary is a sign of your distance from Me? I do
not now speak of fatigue, but of weariness with the world. For as
your soul looks at the world, aside of Me, you can become very weary, very
depressed, very opinionated that others are wrong and you are not.
This is the weariness I would heal for you. Honest fatigue is honest
fatigue. But weariness in the world is weariness in need of healing,
in your heart. You look down and I ask you to look up. Where
your gaze is, so is your heart.
Do not possess sin any longer. It tires your souls. It
infects your spirit. Be grateful for your sorrow. Rejoice in
My forgiveness. And rejoice in your neighbor and forgive as I forgive
you. Rejoice, that your neighbor's offense may have helped you to
see your own needs! Be well yourself, that you might better assist
your neighbor. Do not be a broken instrument. Be whole.
In Me. Where else would you be made whole, but in Me? See?
Always! In Me! Yes! Do! Be in Me! As I am
in you! True forgiveness. Honest sorrow on YOUR part, that
YOU might be true forgiveness to your neighbor. No more debt.
Only True Love. True Love. True Love. In Life.
True Life in Me. Amen.
