Dear Jesus and Holy Mother,
Sarah. (Yes, Lord? Jesus, I Love You!!) Let us record My Lesson for this day. (Yes, my Lord and my God!!)
Sweet children, do hear Me. Yes, let THAT be the Lesson. That you would hear. Not with a temporary hearing, one that goes as you say, "In one ear and out the other." But, DO hear with the ears of your heart. For to hear deeply is My Desire for you.
Children, I am here to call you forth. Up from the dregs of where you are. Up from the muck and mire. Up from the ordinary schedule of life. Up higher than where you are in Me. Wherever you are, I call, "Come, follow Me!"
I wait. I look. Whose eyes are lifted to Me now, in any recognition? Who is acknowledging Me? Who nods their head and says, "Yes, Lord" but does not move. Who brings along for the ride, a stubborn donkey which would rather remain where it is? Who drops what is being done, to truly come and follow Me?
Have you heard My call? Really? Truly? Did you hear My Request to FOLLOW? Now, let us talk of this. To FOLLOW. Me? Or you? My Way? Or yours? O child, DO record what I am about to say. (Yes, my Jesus!!)
Look at My Cross. Holy Cross. It stands as the Living Symbol of true progress in Me. What are you willing to relinquish to pass through it? How much of self will you let go? Do you truly Love one another as I Love you? Will you truly be willing to die to self to be in Me fully? Do you doubt My Word? Do you trust My Wisdom? Am *I* the Teacher of all? Are My Words Truth? Some would hear. Some would follow. Others prefer to critique from their own comfortable position. I say: Look to Me. Focus on Me. Not your own ways, but Mine!
Lambs, when will you begin to Love as I Love? When will you begin to see in one another the Glory of My Presence? When will you stop at the facade, and search for the heart? Judge and you shall be judged. Question and you shall be questioned. Doubt and you shall be doubted. Yet, Love and you shall be loved. But know that from ME, you are Loved, NO MATTER WHAT.
But Love calls you forward. Love does not let you remain where you are. Love breathes Wisdom upon you. Heart is the Kingdom on the Path to Glory. And cleansing of heart is the purpose of the Journey. So that as you are lifted to My Father on High, your soul will be worthy in that holy moment, to receive your eternal crown in the Place in My Father's Bosom.
Who is the sinner? Cast no stones. For, what you do unto others shall be done unto you. Children, this is very difficult for Me to say; but some of you are separating yourself from Me and in some cases, you are even unaware of the separation. Listen to Me NOW before it is too late. For, the enemy would divide you up for his spoils of the battle.
Hear Me now: Love as I Love. Love is My Command. Be One in Me as I am in thee. I Desire Unity. Would your desire be different than what Perfection Desires? Do not cast stones at One another; render only Love. Give all conflicts first, to Me. If you are to help Me, I will permit you. Do not live aside of Me: Live IN Me! From wherever you are, live IN Me! Where unity is not, neither is My Heart. Though I am everywhere, My Heart resides in Unity. Build UP the community. Do not even assist in breaking its back!
Little churches! How I scatter the function of My Church among you! Community! How I long to look and see community! Hearts seeing hearts! Me in you! You in Me! To see God above all humanity. Yet, to see God IN humanity. To see the Common Bond, not just the difference! O unique family! I call out to you! I have assembled you here at My Holy Cross. Here in the Place of Much Life. This is the Place of Conversion. Give Me your heart. Please. And if you will, I will change it for you. I will make of you a royal nation. I will make you a true leader of men. In Me, all things are possible!
Children, do you not see here, the Litany of My Truth? My Truths? For all that I have taught DOES have meaning! Does have Purpose! To Love. To be. In Me. One. Harmony. Unity. Love and Peace and Joy.
Really. Truly. Virtue. Grace. Now. Here. Come. Follow. Me. Did you? Will you? Are we? Just you and I. No stubborn donkey. Your heart. My Heart. We. Us. In Me. In Me. In Me. Leave outside all that is in conflict with My Word. All that you possess which gives you comfort yet separates you from Me must go. Your thoughts, your judgments. Give yourself to Me. I am Conversion! Trust Me! Be in Me! I am Freedom! I am Love! I am God! Your way, or My Way? Follow Me? Or not? What is it that you are doing? I ask for honesty here. Please. Consider My offer. Let us start the Journey now. Again. Anew. Renewal. In Me. There is yet time. That is the purpose of your life. To be. In Me. Amen. +
