Dear Jesus and Holy Mother,
Child, write these Words. (Yes, my God. I bow before You!!)
My people, hear Me. Look! Look! Look to Me, for I am the Prince of Peace! If your heart is troubled, give it to Me. I will relieve you of your sorrow, your burden.....if you allow Me. To recognize a burden within you and not to offer it to Me, is to repel My advance. To carry a burden on your shoulders and refuse My Hand, is to claim the burden as your possession. Would you rather hold a huge rock, than My Hand?
Children, I see you focus more on the condition in the world, than on the condition of your soul. You seek pleasure for your body, but do not render forth pleasure for Me from the depths of your giving heart. So much time is spent on the things of this world, which will all fall away, when the soul sits dormant. O! To be childlike! O! To be new. In Me!
Renewal of heart is necessary to enter My Kingdom. To be willing to renew yourself in Me. For, cobwebs must be gotten rid of. Sin must be expelled, if you choose that it occur. You seek ownership, leadership. Why do you not start with the condition of your soul? That which lasts forever, once blessed, becomes a place of Grace. Grace upon Grace, in a peaceful, holy heart.
What shall shine forth from this place of renewal, your soul? One day you will look and see and know, that to relinquish the world is truly to give up not a thing. It is for you to accept the Gift of Life as I have given it in the measure with which it is given to you. He who has more is expected to share. He who has less shall receive. I have told you all these things repeatedly, have I not? Ah! But have you listened? Have you fully understood Me? Let Me look at your life. Let Me walk with you through it.
Where shall we go? Shall we truly, walk it together? Do you really want My Hand? Or do you think you do not need it? Little ones, would you become small for Me? Little ones, would you allow Me to teach you? Little ones, would you be pleased to sit upon My Knee? Is there anything which I could teach you? Would you listen as a child? Or would you presume that you already know all there is to know. Can you abandon yourself for just a moment to be, innocent as a babe, in My Arms?
The ability you have, the knowledge you bear has no value if it is not in true service to Me. I say: true service. For if a part of your service is to glorify YOU, then it is not true service. Give to Me all the Glory. Learn along your way, but come to Glorify your God. To serve ME is the purpose of your creation.
Would you remain innocent for Me? Would you be childlike for My Sake? Would you argue about position, when the only true position, is prostrate at My Feet?
That burden: truly, you cannot lift it on your own. Just look at Me, and I shall change its weight. For I am God and I am Truth and in Me there are no burdens. There is only constant conversion: of more and more of YOU into ME.
The world is in a constant war, a battle for peace. You cannot earn it, Peace, as a result of spoils of war. But you CAN RECEIVE IT as a free Gift from Me. But that is the keyword: RECEIVE. Will you accept My Generosity? Or do you prefer your own hand in the matter?
People of the world: you seek for Peace. You would create what is already given. But it can only rise in a willing, honest heart.
My little lambs, may I tell you something. You look in the mirror and see the residue of inflated ego. You think it is you, but it is a mask. A mask covering the depths of your heart and all the life that exists there. I see a child waiting to grow, by My Hand. Which is the honest moment? Which shall you, ultimately, choose? To be great in My Eyes is to be small in the world. Regardless of rank in the world, you can still be small. Because you are in the world, but not OF it. You belong to Me.
Do not argue among yourselves as to who is the greatest. Look upon Me in childlike Faith, and you shall know. It is I.
Come to Me; Be in Me. I Desire you so. Leave the pretensions of the world aside. Will you? Will you? Will you? Will you be Mine, My child? Amen. +
(James 4:1-10; Psalm 55:7-11, 23; Mark 9:30-37)
With Love, in the Two Hearts,
