Feast of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, Saturday, June 20, 1998
Dear Jesus and Holy Mother,
[Jesus speaks.....]
Children, may I ask you something? Why is it that My Light of Truth is so very bright? Do you know you are not to look upon the sun lest you go blind? Yet, My Light is Truth. In My Brightness you will see clearly. And there is such a need for Truth in this day. If you travel too close to the flame of this world you will be singed by its fire. If you look to its flame too long you will be consumed. Focus on Me! FOCUS ON ME!Children, I know it is not easy. I know. For I have lived among you. See My readings. [I understood the readings, all, assigned for today.] They deal with this very struggle. But My Heart must always have kept conscious of My Father in Heaven. My Eyes were cast upon Him in all things. Or I would have failed Him in the Mission He sent Me to do.
Children, how often have I said to you, "Come, follow Me?" Have you? Have you removed your eyes from this world and from how YOU would govern the world around you? Have you begun to trust? Now see, I do not condemn you, but I do present Truth to you. So that your eyes would set upon Me and no longer, the world. If you are to be living in this world, you must come to be not OF it. Do you comprehend Me? All that has been taken will be returned a hundred fold. Because all which is missing in your life has been rendered freely to Me. And I care for My own. To be aside of the world is to be INSIDE Me. Do you not know this? Worldly power, worldly possession can be made holy in My Sight because in Me all becomes as a service to all around you. But you must come to Me first. Me first. Me first. I am GOD, afterall. Am I not due your sole attention?
Children, the world would rob you of Me. Yes, they would. They would convince you that you must provide for yourself aside of Me. Let us speak of worry. I say DO NOT worry. You must be truthful in the analysis of your life. The "why" you do what you do is very important. But I tell you this, if ALL is rendered to Me first, then *I* will return to you what is yours, properly, honestly yours. DO NOT WORRY! I see hearts. I know hearts. I Love hearts. What more can be said? What more can be taught? Do you read My Word which has risen from My Heart for all time, and put it aside as petty advice? I ask you.....do you? Do I, Who am God, not mean what I say? Come to Me, all who labour and are weary, and I will give you rest. Do not worry, children. I am God. I am your Father. I am your Brother. I am the Inspiration of your very heart. All things are subject unto Me. Even your most prized possession. Children, YOU are MY prized possession. Unless you refuse Me. Then I shall still Love you, but you will have refused ME.
Here is a window. The building is on fire. Will you jump into My Arms? So much horror surrounds you. Will you take My Hand? Or will you riddle with fear which is the onslaught of the enemy? Will you acknowledge Me first in all that you do? Or will you continue to be independent of My advances towards you?
See, My lambs, how very misunderstood am I, as I am in your world. How very aside of the norm am I. In obedience in all things, but to My Father first. For what, afterall, is Life without God? Mere existence. Stifled soul. Emptiness, void. Sadness for you in My Heart. Sadness within the Heart of God.
Read My Word. All My Word. Prescribed this day. Come to live My Word. By My Grace. Do not doubt Me. Doubt is your weakness and it quickly becomes the stomping ground of the enemy. LIVE in Me. BE in Me. ONE in Me. FOCUSED on Me. OBEDIENT to Me. WITH Me. IN Me.
Children! DO YOU HEAR ME? COME! BE! IN. ME! NOW! [I thought the Message had ended, but then so Lovingly, our Lord continued.....]
Little bird? Come here. I Love you. Let Me care for you. See? I already do. Little bird! You are so very wise! Little bird, come sit upon My Finger. See, My children? My bird has Wisdom. It knows. Me. Do you? I smile. Amen. †
(There are two sets of prescribed readings woven into today: 2 Chr. 24:17-25;
Ps. 89:4-5, 29-34; Mt. 6:24-34; and Is. 61:9-11; 1 Sm. 2:1, 4-8; Lk. 2:41-51)With Love, in the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary,
