Dear Jesus and Holy Mother,
O My lambs, hear Me. I am speaking to you from this place in My Cross where I am. In its Glory! For nothing of a cross, truly carried, remains a place of suffering. It becomes a place of Glory. How could this be?
Innocent victim, freely given! Come and join Me here! That a transformation might occur. There is a Sweet Wood here in My Cross. This place of suffering, yes, but a place of Glory as well. Do you see the Hope in My Eyes? Come, follow Me. Do you see My Direction? It is to My Father! Come, follow Me. Do you see My Resurrection? Come, follow Me. Be TRANSFORMED in Me!
To eliminate any part of Life is to eliminate My Cross. To eliminate My Cross is to deny life. O lambs, hear Me! Not as man sees does God; and My Perfect vision is beyond yours. It is for this Reason that I say, "Come, follow Me." For it is impossible for you to know the Way of Perfection unless you take up your cross and follow Me. In this moment, what is your cross? Will you carry it to Me? That I might transform it? Into a beautiful flower?
Sweet things, hear Me. I SHALL transform you. Each has a cross unique unto self. Each has a weight all your own. But I say: do not sit in your own vale of tears: Come follow Me. In Me there is Transformation! What shall it be? Shall you prefer an immediate answer? Or are you willing to let our Father display His Glory in the moment you endure?
The Light of My Cross and Resurrection overshadows you. Allow the Warmth of its healing to penetrate your heart. What will Glory be without your being saved? Healing is Salvation. Salvation is healing. Yet, how I use you, by your permission, is the act, the process, the moment of Salvation for you. Will you walk it with Me? Will you focus on My Father Who is yours? Will you see the Glory? The Grace? Of every moment in Me?
What is a Cross, but a time of endurance in this life until you come into the Glory of My Father's Kingdom! What can you endure? What will you endure? What moment of Grace is yours? None of it has any value, children, unless you see clearly through MY Eyes! MY Vision! My Wisdom! My Glory! See with new eyes and a new heart.
Let Me ask you something: Who gave you life? Who gave you all ability? Who gave you your strength? Who gave you your endurance? He Who is Great has done Glorious things for you. Why are you here? Why do you exist? To know, Love and serve God. And this gift which is given, is your life from God, and your life TO God.
Children, I say: LOOK FOR THE GRACE. DO find the Grace in every moment. BE in Me! That I might be whole in you! Let your Faith be alive! No matter what! For to believe and not live your belief is not a True Life in Me!
O lambs! I come to tell you that the life you lead in Me should be vibrant with example! How you serve can be a tool to those around you! Best, perfect, in My Hands! (O my Sweet Lord! You are Hope! I hear the birds singing again, Lord! All winter have they sung of Springtime! They have not ceased! And Lord, I must record this, lest I forget.....Just now, driving back from school as I had my eyes on the road, I was impressed by this extremely dreary day. Melting ice, dripping rain, cold, wet, Winter. And as I prayed Your Holy Name, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, I began to look at the huge gray sky and rejoice. For Lord, it is a sunny Summer sky, waiting to happen! And my heart filled with utter Hope. And then as I turned toward home, I noticed it: the mountain. It was as though it was positioned, rising, just feet ahead.....up...up...up! I had never seen it before, Lord! I thought it was our own Mt. Anthony, but it seemed so CLOSE, so NEAR! I could distinctly see the dark, stick-like trees against the snow on the rising forest ground. I could see a road etched on the side, wrapping itself toward the mountain's peak. I could not see the crest, for it was crowned with a snowy-white cloud. And I could only think of Sinai! Or Tabor? In an INSTANT, I YEARNED to get close to it! To see this mountain which I had never noticed was so very near! I drove toward home with excitement, to see it. I drove up our street to search for it and.....it is not here! But LORD! It was so real! O Lord Jesus! I LONG to find that mountain! Despite its Winter, I long for it, my Lord! Jesus! Please help me! What is it I have seen? Lord! The magnitude of the vision is causing my to cry!)
It is the search for Eternal Hope, child. It is the Grace of the Moment! It is proof that that which is naturally displeasing to you, as Winter.....when seen with Hope-filled eyes.....a desire to be there.....to even seek it, can enter. O My child! It is Vision with the eyes of your heart! It is Hope in every moment. It is accepting, trusting, that those things of mystery do, in fact, exist. Faith. It is Vision with the eyes of your heart! It is Hope in every moment. It is accepting, trusting, that those things of mystery do, in fact, exist. Faith. It is how one looks at life, child. It is accepting that which is given. (O Lord! Do grant such a sight to all whose hearts are longing with Hope!)
I provide Hope. I provide Longing. I provide answers to prayer by My Perfect Hands. O children! If you but focus on Me in faith, in Hope and in Love, you are complete. Trust in My Perfection. Rest securely in My Hands! My Faith is yours. My Hope is yours. My Love is yours. I am yours. BE in Me. Long for Me!
By Faith are you healed. Leave the Healing to Me. Trust in My Perfection. Revel in My Glory! See the Grace in every moment! For there am I, in every tear. In every laugh. In every breath. Come, follow Me. For the mountain is near! Glory waits to crown your head! The Path is clear. Come, follow Me! Yes! Be in Me. Amen. +
