Dear Jesus and Holy Mother,
O my Sweet Lord, as I recollect here before You, it is as though I am consumed by a certain Springtime! The more I pray Your Sweet Name, the louder do Your birds sing their song! In fact, my Sweet Lord, they fly nearer and sing all the louder! O Lord, within me I can feel the warmth of sunshine (though I sit here in this shaded room). But I can "see" spring flowers.....tulips.....in my heart! I can smell the sweetest fragrance of blossoms of all sorts! I feel such HOPE, my Lord! It feels like EASTER, my Lord! In fact, I have felt like this for several mornings now; and then I am so surprised to find our car's thermometer (while on the way to school or Mass) indicates it is 12 degrees (F), and that ice is still holding its ground! O Lord, YOU are my Springtime! O Lord, YOU are the Life of my soul. Amen. Alleluia. Maranatha!!
Daughter, I shall call you Sarah. [I melt when Jesus calls me by the name He has given to me] I shall call you sweet thing, I shall call you Mine.
Newness is Mine. Renewness is in Me. Refreshment is in Me, if you would forsake the touch of the world for My Sake. O lambs! Be not reluctant to move closer to Me! Record these Words, Sarah. (Yes, my Lord and my God!!)
People: hear Me. I would Grace you with all the riches of My Kingdom. If you would but give Me your souls, freely. Now, to give to Me completely is to give with no "strings attached." Not to pull back. To relinquish your ability to retract this heart which would be My Gift. For a gift is given to the one it is given, not to be rescinded, not to be retained. Not given conditionally, but without any reservation. O little one, be not focused on what you might receive because you have given. Be focused on one thing: your unity, finally, in Me.
You come to Me to render Me your heart. And I will accept it and I will take it only when you freely let go completely. For I respect My Gift to you of free will.
Children, hearts are kingdoms in which I dwell. Your heart is the resting place I seek to be alone with you. [I experience a distraction and begin to pray.....] I would bring us to the place of rest where we might be together, you and I. In this place are we: you and I. Yet others, as well. We can serve, while still together. We can be, while serving. For recall this is a kingdom: your heart. Charity and Love; acts of Charity with constant Love. How shall it be that we accomplish all? By BEING. Here in the heart. Your kingdom. Where we are one.
I Grace you here. I increase you here. Here I grant you a Life of royal inheritance. Here in Me, you receive all you need.....and more! For I take care of you. You have given your all to Me, and I care for you. My child, My Love.
My little one, hear Me. I Desire your being. I Desire that you give yourself freely to Me. O! How I Love you! The sweetness of breath is yours! The Fullness of Breath is Mine within you! How far have we journeyed! How far have we come! How far is there yet to go! Do not journey alone. Two by two. Will you accompany Me? In this instance, will you permit ME to be your traveling partner?
I would bring you to the distant shore. I would share with you the riches of My Kingdom. Latent Gifts which you have borne like a treasure chest yet to be fully opened. Gifts so rich, yet buried deep within you. Come, I shall show you how to adorn yourself in these Gifts which are from Me to you! I would have you use them, that your sisters and brothers would learn of the Joys present NOW in their midst! But first, we must learn to be together: you and I. Charitable acts will be pure, then. In focus then. Our path will be cleared And all of where we walk will become Grace!
Does this seem abstract to you? Do you not fully understand? Then I ask you, I invite you, to spend some time alone with Me. I shall explain, I shall increase your Knowledge, your Understanding. Gifts beget Gifts! Wisdom rises! Because you have come to Me. You have listened to Me. Regardless of the call in the world, you have come to Me! For I AM the Source of Wisdom!
[I begin to realize that Abba is speaking.....]
Would I see you born, to know Me, Love Me and serve Me.....and then I would not assist you? Am I not your Perfect Parent, your Father? O little child! I DO invite you to spend some time with Me. That you might better learn how to live in Me. That Eternity might become yours, truly, someday. Here in MY Kingdom of Eternal Love!Will you find a place to be with Me. The place you seek is willingness. I shall provide the rest!
Glory be to Me Who is Father! Glory be to My Son! Glory be to the Spirit. We are Three. We are One! And, dear child, it is into THIS Oneness you are called. To be. One. In Me. Amen! +
