[Jesus speaks.....]
The dedication of the temple! How shall you present yourself to Me? Will you permit Me to use you as I choose? Or would you have Me abide by rules and regulations set forth by human tongue? O lambs! To be in Me is to be free. No.....never lifted from your obligation to God, but to find a freedom within it! Should law serve law? Should law serve man or God? Who do you serve? For what reason have you been created? To serve Me through a lifetime of Love because you know Me. And see! Your Life is a Process of dedicating your temple to Me!Sweet and innocent lambs, I address your hearts. Sweet and innocent Loves, you are Mine! Sweet and innocent lambs, are you in sin? Then seek My forgiveness. See! I can call you sweet and innocent because I can see your repentant heart. I simply wait for you to approach Me.
O temple where I dwell, be purified! Purified of sin! come to Me! Reconcile your soul to God! Relinquish the control of sin upon your heart. Give it all to Me.
My little ones, hear Me. I the Lord, have chosen to reside there within you. I have Loved you, My creation, so much that I cannot separate Myself from you. It is My Desire to live in the palace of your soul. Now I ask you: Do you not prepare My Way? Do you not seek forgiviness for the sins which block My True Light from permeating your every border? Would you not let Me be victorious in your soul? For the King, Who I am, would conquer. If you would willingly surrender.
Children, lambs, DO come to Me. Do not let mere formalities block us. For I would have you be one in Me. Now, I am not discouraging completely, the array of worship you offer to Me, or the manner in which it is offered. What I DO ask you to do is to examine what you do. Is your prayer one of ritual, not to be broken, if even to spend some time with Me? Would you forsake the formula of prayer for the freedom it brings? Freedom in Me. Freedom to BE. In Me. I am not impressed with "holy actions" which shroud a distracted or self-serving heart. I would rather, have less words and more being! I DESIRE to be with you. I LOVE you SO!
I SHALL use the words of My saint. Quote her, here and now. (Yes, my Lord!!)
"Doubtless you are one of those plants which the Heavenly Father has set in His Garden to cultivate with His Own Hand, to preserve by His Providence, to unfold by His Grace, and to cause to flower in the odor of sweetness by the warmth of His Sacred Love, provided that you courageously resist the opposition the enemy will strive to raise." ["Thoughts and Sayings of St. Margaret Mary" for February 10.][Jesus continues.....]
True words are spoken. Hearts must respond. The action in the temple is Love. If Love does not permeate every venue, then a rededication must ensue. Renewal in Me. Rededication in Me. You should be in constant Growth. Therefore, ongoing dedication of yourself unto Me! The world is in need of dedicated souls. But souls focused on Me. Then Truth and Love will permeate your temple walls and My Light shall finally pierce the darkness. My Light shall lead you home.This is sacred ground: your temple. Dedicate yourself to Me. Let the temple be Mine. Amen. +
