Dear Jesus and Holy Mother,
[Jesus speaks.....]
Do you accept with Love, the Kindness I render to you? Do you not see that in My Kindness, I reprimand you, I urge you, I instruct you? O My lambs, DO hear Me! All of your life.....as you live and strive to live in Me.....is a place of education for you. A place to grow. To learn. To BE. Have I not just told you that "to be" infers action? [ref. Message 608] Are you ACTIVE in Me? Then, as you grow, would I not reveal to you those areas in which you must grow more? The restrictions I place upon you, even the sorrows you may bear.....ALL of these are opportunities for living Grace. Will you accept your moment in Me? Or will you flee.....run.....hide.....away from Me? Or will you stay.....beg.....BE in Me? These are the moments, opportunities in your life where the greatest growth, where the Most Generous Grace does flow. Here, in your moment of willing dependence upon Me!O My lambs, DO hear Me! I have come for ALL people, most especially YOU. I have lived and died and have risen for ALL people, but most especially YOU. Do you hear Me? Do you accept My challenge? Little ones, little one, you have been called by your God to be a true child of God. And as such, you have been offered Baptism in Water and Spirit, making you an open member in Me: open to the prompting of the Most Holy Spirit. Have you ACTED on these PROMPTINGS? Or are you stagnant? Have you allowed your Baptismal waters to become scant? Have you CONTINUED to LIVE in the LIFE that I give? My lambs, look upon Me. I have LIVED the Life My Father asked of Me. I have DIED the Death My Father asked of Me. I have RISEN according to His Most Holy Will. I have ASCENDED by His Most Holy Grace. I SIT at His Right Hand. And I AM among you still! My Spirit BREATHES upon you. Where, in all this action, are you? Are you truly LIVING in Me? Or are you living in the world? Do you see the opportunities I permit for your own improvement? Or do you complain and seek an easy solution?
Little ones, this one life has been handed to you. It shall not be repeated. You have but one passage. You know Me, but how well? You Love Me, but how fully? You serve Me, but how completely? O lambs! I hear your cry. Do you offer it to Me? Or do you soothe your needs with things of this world? Voices of this world? Remedies of this world? Do you not see that to become a polished, precious metal, you must pass through the fire? Do you flee at the first touch of My Purifying Flame? All wait for Purification, yet all too many flee when My Fire reaches your soul! Ah! Yes! Think! What have I just said to you? Your eyes are fixed on a time you look for and you miss this opportunity of your soul!
Children, you will fit through My Narrow Gate if you freely allow Me to pare you down to size. Let the Purity of who I would make you.....be. You cannot enter in your hardened, filthy state. Only clean garments are worn at My Table!
Children! You fill yourselves with so much information. Is there any room for Me? You endure in things of pleasure. Will you endure in the perfect path to Me? Many are called. Few are chosen. Would YOU be My Chosen? Would you say "yes" and continue through My Narrow Gate? Here is the greatest conflict of your life! To enter Me! O! The world would call you aside! It comes down to this: Will you Live in Me as I am in the Father? Will you BE in Me as I am in the Father, as He is in Me? Or will you leave Me, too? So many have. Do you prefer their company to Mine? O little one, I have had your ear for so long. Now I desire your soul. Will you come to Me? Fully?
I bind My Own Hands. I wait, now, for YOU to reach for Me. For YOU to stay with Me. Free will. Free will. Free will. My Gift to you. Yes. I watch you struggle. REACH, O child! REACH for Me. PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEASE! I am you Greatest Possession. Come. Possess your God. I permit it. Ah! I have WAITED for it. For you. Yes. Yes. Yes. For you! The delight of My Soul! You! Amen! †
