Dear Jesus and Holy Mother,
[Jesus speaks.....]
My people, hear Me. Day after day, I spend time with you. Do you understand? Do you grow in Me? Do you see that Faith must grow, to be better understood? To be better lived? For Faith without action is meaningless. And the action I require of you is the movement of your heart. Clear your vision, children! Come to see Me as I truly am! I stand before you, in Faith. I am the Son of God. I am He Who has died for the sake of your sin! Yes, it is I, Jesus. Jesus the Christ. It is I.My lambs, I look upon you and I do not truly see an obvious sign of your Faith. Why is it that your hearts are hidden from one another? Why is it that your hearts are hidden from Me? I come to save you, to bring you to My Side. To finally affect Unity of you unto Me, and yet, you draw yourselves into separate camps. You prefer to be alone separate. All by your vision, not Mine.
Each child who reads: I ask you not to exempt yourself from this examination of conscience. For Perfection in Me is a process. And Perfection for you occurs in your final hour, when I call you fully unto Myself. Until that moment, there is time for improvement. Do not succumb to Pride!
Who is it that YOU say I am, by the life that you lead? Am I permitted in your every nook and cranny? Am I excluded from some of your thought? Am I placed into a particular place of your life and not another?
True Life in Me, children, is all or nothing. A process, yes; but a process to becoming whole in Me. You cannot be successful in Me by stepping forward and then once again, retract yourself from Me.
Look to see who I have placed in your life. That good person who would challenge you to grow in Me. That person who challenges you to grow in virtue, perhaps, by his or her own lack of it. Be not content with only the easy. The comfortable. Recall, I have warned of spiritual lethargy. [Ref. Message 423]
Am I a demanding God? Well, yes, I am. But note one thing: I am a Patient God. A Merciful God. A God Who gives you the freedom to choose the right or wrong in your life. You delight My Heart in the right which you choose; and you break My Heart in the wrong that you choose. But I DO let you choose. And I pray that you learn and I Desire that you grow. In Me.
The world would blind you. Distract you SO easily. Manipulate you. Where is the freedom in that? And then, when you have fallen to the wiles of the world, there is one gift which the world cannot give: and that is Eternal Life in Me. If you have wasted your life on worldly delights, you will forfeit the Kingdom of God. And I had made a throne, just for you!
Take a moment now. Look on Me. Here. In your heart. Let us be quiet together. You and I. Let us BE together. Now. .....[Jesus paused to allow us to reflect].....
Who do you say that I am?
Will you Love one another as I have loved you?
Will you truly, come and follow Me?
Will you Love Me with your entire being?
Will you Love one another as you do yourself?
DO you Love yourself?
*I* do. I Love you. I do.Children, this is not about rank. It is about BEING. In Me. If Kindness is missing, that is the part of Life I am excluded from.
L-A-M-B-S.....let us DO something with our Love. Let us be a presence of heart to the world. However it is accomplished within this varied Body of Mine. Love one another; I beg you. Love one another. But first, Love you. That you might come to fully Love Me. And I will perfect your Love. What we give, will come from that new place within you which I have healed.
Who do people say that I am? So often they judge Me by YOU! Who is it that they say YOU are? +
(James 2:1-9; Psalm 34:2-7; Mark 8:27-33)
With Love, in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary,
His Sarah
