Wednesday, February 11, 1998Dear Jesus and Holy Mother,
I am the Life-giving Water which washes and cleanses every soul. I bathe My children in My Holy Spirit and My True Light enters and all darkness is expelled.
O children! Let us speak again of hearts. Now I ask you: If I the Lord, cannot affect you unless you permit, then how would any thing of this world enter your being without your slightest invitation? Nothing overpowers Me, and I am present there, through Baptism, and any growth occurs from Me by the power of your will. The Power of Almighty God would help to direct you, but you must let Me fully enter as a King enters His Kingdom. In bowed reverence should I be received. In bowed reverence should you live. In service to Me. Willing service.
But lambs, if you deny Me My Right to the throne of your heart, then you have invited into your heart the seed of the enemy. And now, growing within your very being is confusion and despair. Is stagnation and an increased inclination to sin. And then, what comes out of you is no longer recognized as My Pure Wisdom. Because Good and evil are in conflict. And the lack of Peace rising from your conflicting heart, will be heard and understood by those around you.
Children, My lambs, do hear Me. What is unsettling to you rises from within that place of conflict. Come to Me and do be cleansed of sin. This is your weakness, yes. But it is not what should conquer you. There is truly no excuse for being conquered. I AM your Saviour, afterall.
I have told you, that Salvation is healing. Healing is a process. I am the Way. I am the Truth. I am the Life. Hear Me. Live in Me. Be in Me. I have offered you My Hand. It is called Reconciliation. I have raised the Act of Forgiveness to a Sacrament, holy. A place of Grace. A Place of Absolute Forgiveness. In Me. I am the Source of Mercy. From My Side flows Water and Blood. My Life being poured out for you. Come, be washed in the Blood of the Lamb.
Wisdom teaches her children. Wisdom is My Teaching Arm. By Wisdom do you come to know Me. And I crown My mother with My Wisdom. My Mother! I melt at the very thought of her. At her name, do I melt. And it is she who is chosen to come to you to point the Way to Me. Through your ability to seek forgiveness. By her gentle encouragement.
For My Ways are not the ways of the world. And if you pursue life which is not My Own, then a certain distress will enter and be in your life. Yet I say: Be in Me. So, what you face is a choice! Do you know that you are recognized for how you ARE than what you DO? Truth sees the heart. Though you trip, fall on your outside, it is you inside, your heart, that I see! Just as you become more and more a part of Me by receiving Me in My Holy Eucharist, so too, do you become more and more a part of the world as you expose your nature to that part of life. And what you see, you become. What you eat, you are. Why, O lambs, do you think I have given you My Body and Blood? Why, O lambs, do you think I give you My Word? To feed you the Truth! To nurture you on Truth!
That you DO good, yet FEEL conflict is because your heart is not at rest, truly, in Me. I Desire Oneness. And I say that for a Reason, lambs. Because you cannot properly live in two worlds. Recall I have said things are either white or they are black. For in the end there is Heaven or hell. No other choice. You are with Me or you are against Me. The earth shall fall away. Choice. You MUST make a choice! Heaven or hell. Grace or sin. Me or the world. Focus or blurred vision. To be in Me. Or not.
O children! I would save you from your woe. But you do not fully trust Me. Not completely. See the dog. He chases his tail. It is an attraction he has yet to catch. And yet he pursues it. And if he succeeds, he bites his very flesh. O lambs! Why do you do likewise! If you focused on Me, you would break the viscous circle in which you are! If the dog would listen to his master, he would sit; he would be. Silent! At the feet of his master. But the dog must listen. He must learn. To be. In obedience.
There is a similarity in the chasing of the tail for you. But, My little ones, you are a different creation. You are of Me. And I would serve you, even though you are My creation. And it would work! It would be! So smoothly, would it be; if you would listen! If you would learn! If you would live, in Me! Life continues. Travail still evident. Yet YOU are a new creation, in Me. Because you have changed! You have given your all and everything to Me. You have entered Wisdom. You have begun to learn! You have begun to BE. In Me. And all will see the good that you do. All will see the good that you are. Because it is pure. Pure Goodness. From a heart, yours, in Mine. If a heart is a temple, Mine, then let us sweep it clean! That here in this place we may be together. Wholly. Completely. In Me. As I Desire. As Wisdom teaches. That all might look upon you and witness the Splendor of My Kingdom! In one heart. Now. Yours. Amen. +
