Title: "What do you know of Love? Really? Unless you come to know Me!"

Dear Jesus and Holy Mother,
I shall now begin the discourse to My children. (Yes, my Sweet Lord!! My Lord and my God!!)
Lambs of every nation, hear Me! I the Lord, do speak to you. But, how many truly listen with their hearts? How many hearts desire to change? To be changed? How many block change to the heart, by the thoughts in the head? Children, I am Mystery! Do you truly suppose that in any way, you could come to know Me completely? It is for THIS reason I ask, I say, to BE in Me. For then, like a refreshing bath, like a drink on a hot day, like a cool breeze in the heat of summer, I shall refresh you. Like the heat of a fire in the ice of winter, I shall melt your heart. And your heart will melt into Mine. But not if you refuse to receive Me.
Do you see, do you know, do you realize---do you care, that I have Loved you for all time? I have had a Love affair with you for all time. For all time I have known you. And even as I Love you, I have died for you---for your sin. This is the Love I bear for you. I relinquish My Life for you. I became Man for you. I have loosed the bonds of heaven for you. For they had been sealed. But I have opened the doors to My Father's Kingdom with My Life, My pleasing Sacrifice to My Father. And as He opened His Arms to accept My Sacrifice, He likewise accepted you. Because of Love. For, God IS Love.
But the growth you would experience in Me is contingent on how open you are to being in Me! How is it that you look upon Me? Do you think you know Me, by familiar ways? And so, you decide how I should be to you? Do you still refuse to see Me for Who I am? Do you cast Me out because My Words challenge a part of your heart which needs a change? Do you welcome Me with palm branches, only to plot My Crucifixion? Where are you in Love? Are you honest in your Love? Do you speak sweet words and promise great vows. But do not keep your word? Children! I AM the Word. And I keep My Word! Truth is speaking here, afterall! What do you know of Love? Really? Unless you come to know Me! And that is the point of every journey in Life! To come to know ME. That you would Love Me. And then, desire to serve Me! For you will have turned from the world long enough to truly see My Truth, My Life, My Love, My Hope, My Faith. My Virtue. All Virtue.
Child to whom I speak, may I tell you something? It is as though you are wearing large black boots. They are weighted as a diver. That you would sink to the bottom. Why do you do this? For I would lift you UP! Your boots would permit you to stand in the mud. O child, I would un-stick you. For I would lift you up! They would bind you, they would hold you, constrain you, keep you from truly being Mine! Would you remove them? Would you leave them just outside the door of your heart? Would you enter this familiar place with Me? Your heart? Would you BE here, with Me, for just a moment.
All I ask for you, is a moment. In Me. To be. In you. And you in Me. I offer you freedom, child. Perhaps, freedom within that place where you already are! Perhaps in an entirely new place. But the Freedom is Mine. And I invite you into it. O shackles which bind My people: Be broken. But child, do you see? Nothing happens until YOU say "yes." Until YOU agree! For I do keep My Promises. And I do not rescind My Gifts. Unless you return them, they are yours. But to use them properly, you must BE IN ME.
I have courted you for all of your life. And along the way, we are betrothed. And at some point, it is as though we marry. For our union must be complete. What Life shall come forth, or not, is dependent on how we are with one another. Shall we grow in oneness? Shall you recognize Me Who is in your midst? Or shall you deny Me?
How life occurs for each of you is our own unique relationship. Yet, I bind you to others. To participate. To guide. To listen. To be led. To lead. If you are remaining in Me, you will see the Truth in every moment. If you listen to Me. But if you cast Me aside, for the words of another, then you shall once again, don your boots and return to the mud. For whose voice is greater? Man's or God's? Which voice do you prefer? Man's or God's?
I am here, child. I always have been. Before creation, I have known you. And I know you now, in all Eternity. But THIS is your moment. May it be a willing moment in Me! Here I am, now, in YOUR temple. Hear Me speak. Today, in your hearing, the prophecy is fulfilled. God so loved the world, that He gave His only Son. It is I. I am here. Now. In your hearing. In your heart. Will you turn to Me? Will you receive Me well? Or will you cast Me out? Will you banish Me? Yet again?
Child, I take your hand. Feel My Touch. I ask you, child. Again and again. Do you Love Me? Will you be Mine? Forever and ever? Will you keep Me? Or throw Me out? Will we grow together, you and I? Or will you refuse Me? Will we grow? Will we be? As I Will? Or as you will? In Me? Or not? Welcomed? Or cast out? Look and see the beggar at your gate. It is I.
O, how I Love you. O, how I desire you. I pray, you long for Me. Love Me. Desire Me. I pray That we would be one. You in Me. I in you. I offer you My Heart. Again. Here. Take it. It is about Love. It is about Me. And you. Love. Amen. Love. +
