Dear Jesus and Holy Mother,
[The Lord speaks.....]
Children, I speak to you today of clarity of heart. How shall this be, but by My Hand? But CHILDREN, there is one more ingredient: your will. How can I EVER do ANYTHING for you if you do not permit Me? And how shall we progress if you do not pursue Me? Have you ever had a friend you have not pursued? Have you ever kept a friend you have not truly listened to? Have you still a friend you have not Loved? O lambs, hear Me! This is an hour and a moment in which we may begin again, together, you and I. Let this be OUR moment. See lambs, I am your Best Friend. I give to you My Life. I give to you My Word and I keep My Word with My Life. Yet, I am refused. Yet, I am crucified. Yet I have died and My friends deserted Me. Yet I have risen and where were My Friends? Yet do I speak, but who is listening? They accuse Me of deserting them, but when they run, when they flee to their private island, I am already there. Yeah, when they rush to enter the very gates of hell I stand there, entreating them not to enter. It is not *I* Who has deserted you. It is not *I* Who has not spoken clearly to you or listened to your heart. For you who feel deserted, it is because you would not allow Me to accompany you along the way. But NOW let us begin. Let us talk. Let us understand one another, finally. Yes! Now! Let THIS be our moment. TOGETHER! You and I. Yes, you and I!Children, I do not try to confound you. If you do not understand Me, I ask you: how is it that you are listening? Are you opening your heart to Me along with your ears? Or are you listening to Me with a closed mind? Are you prejudging My every Word? Have you convicted and sentenced Me? Have you condemned Me to death because you refuse to see?
Children! This is the hour in which I call out to you. Do you WANT to understand Me? I will help you. But you MUST give Me the time in which to accomplish this. You MUST dedicate some of your time to Me. I AM God, afterall! Children, there is no "magic" here.....that one understands and another does not. Look! Your Mother, My Church, teaches you My Word. How to understand. But you must grow beyond infancy. You must become familiar with the Language of My Word. And how can you do this from afar? Do you read My Word? Children, I have asked you this before. Do you? Then let us start. Let us continue.
There is nothing new here. You have heard this before. In the mouth of My every priest. But were you judging him and not LISTENING to him? This is a matter of heart. You must willingly open your heart to receive My Word. Can a seed grow on a rock? Well, that is the image of a closed heart. And that is a parable. But for a parable to have meaning, the seed must be planted to grow. Then My Word germinates within you and you begin to look at life from within My Word. Do you comprehend Me? Do not let YOUR heart be called obtuse!
Ah! The riches and wealth of My Kingdom are YOURS! You are an heir to My Kingdom. I ask for your heart. For HERE shall we grow together! HERE does My Kingdom reside right now. But what shall be its language? Will you speak within clear Understanding? Or will you succumb to the confusion of the world? Will you walk away from Me and become a linguist in the world, but a deaf mute in My Kingdom? The Language in My Kingdom is an Understanding Heart. Pursue Me, and it shall be. Leave Me and you shall wander as if in a desert for the rest of your life.
My conversation to you this day is most serious, child. In your day there is a weaving of words spun from the fiber of a poisonous thread. You will be strangled if you pursue the ways of the world. Talk is cheap. Yes. Talk is cheap. Be on your guard as to what you speak. Take heed as to what you are listening to.
Be in Me. I am the Language of Love. Be in Me. I am Truth of Understanding. Be in Me. Abandon yourself unto Me. Be in Me. Let us commune. Let us be. Together. One. Me growing in you. You thriving in Me. Perfect harmony. Perfect unity. Amen. Do permit this to happen. In Me. Amen. In Me. I in you. You in Me. Amen. †
