Dear Jesus and Holy Mother,
[Jesus speaks.....]
Child, write these Words for your Lord. (Yes, my Lord and my God.)
Those who disobey My Will, die. They perish like the grass on a hot, sunny plain. Those who obey Me thrive, like a plain watered by My Gentle rains. But what of those who are searching? Trying? If the focus is kept on My, then the direction will lead, eventually, to Me. The stronger your focus, the quicker is the path. To please Me, not you, is the goal of observing My Will. That you are pleased because I am pleased is Humility in action. That you do not separate yourself from Me is to glorify Me. Because I am God, and you adore Me. Freely, adore Me.
Are you built on solid rock? Or sand? What is lasting value? What is it of you that shall prevail? Is this not rock? Is this not lasting? Worldly goods can have a value to lead you to Me, but in My Sight the only lasting value of the world is the soul I have breathed into your being. Faith within it is the Rock. Hope within it endures the Journey. Charity within it is My Presence today and tomorrow; it is the Eternal Virtue which gives birth to all good things. This combination of Virtue is directly of Me. A wise man builds his house on Faith, Hope and Love. For a house set firmly in Me, can endure every storm. For who is greater than Me? I am God. Do not build rival towers to equal Me, children, for they shall fall. They cannot survive. They are built on pride, the antithesis of all which is Me.
Sand can be beautiful in its place. At the seashore, glistening in My Sun. But to build upon it is a foolish task. All can be washed away in the suddenness of a storm.
My lambs, hear Me. I speak to you of rock. Have I not built My Church upon it? I have chosen this example for a reason. If I had built My Church of sand, it would have blown away during the many trials that have besieged it. During the one it endures, even now. But it stands. Why? Because its foundation is Rock: My Peter of Rome. Its Life is Spirit: the Spirit of God. It is holy: My Mother is its sweet spouse. It is blessed with guidance: the endurance of Joseph. It is not truly built of this world, and so the gates of hell shall never prevail against it. To build a house in this world, I speak of your eternity, is a foolish thing.
Children, when you think of "end time" think of Me. All that concerns the final hours are contained in the Heart and Mind of My Father. Be wary of those who lead you down a false road of earthly concern. Abandon your will to My Own. Within Me you shall be set straight. Hear this, O House of Israel, O nation of the New Jerusalem: I am God yesterday, today and always. It is Me Who you should worship. Me Who you adore. If you bow elsewhere, even for a moment, you chance a moment to being perished. For to look away from Me is to perish in a desert full of sand. It is to have the earth part under your feet. For the sand is dragged out to the ocean beneath your very feet. Have you never felt this? Let it be My living parable to you, then.
Do not dare your eternity to building your life in the sand. Children, it will not work. It will stand as a testimony to your own ability aside of Me. It shall topple. It shall fall. And you will perish in its collapse.
There comes a moment when you must opt for things eternal. What life are you trying to preserve? The one which will fail and fall away? Or are you nurturing that which will last forever? Your focus.....is it purely on Me? Or do you give to Me what is left, giving the majority of your existence to the false gods of this world?
What shall I say to you? I shall repeat Myself until you finally learn My Lesson:
Grow in Me. Be in Me. Give Me your heart. Completely. Trust in Me. Completely. Love Me. Yes, believe in Me. Yes! Obey My Commandments out of sheer Love for Me. Out of utter Love for yourself and your fellow man. Love. Do nothing, save that it be done in Love. Be willing, truly, to lay down your life for your friend. Yes. Come follow Me. To My Cross, that you may follow into the Glory of My Kingdom. Much? Yes. Is it possible? Yes. In Me. In Me. In Me. Just come. Enter. Be. I shall make all things possible. My Grace pours forth upon the nations. My Grace pours forth on you.No excuses. Build on My Rock. Abandon the sand. Live forever in Me. Amen. †
