Dear Jesus and Holy Mother,
[The Lord speaks.....]
Let us talk of a rain drop. It is distinct. It is seen. It joins more. It becomes a puddle. It becomes a river. It becomes nourishment for the arid land it visits. To all who look, it is what it has become. A part of the whole. Yet I, Who am God, still see the rain drop. Its distinction. Its potential. Its glory. Yes, glory. For it has participated in an act of creation. By freely participating in My Plan, this droplet has filled the earth with good things. Being in My Plan. Being in Me, that is how it is. Distinction in My Eyes, but not in the eyes of man.Let us talk of distinction. The greatest distinction is to be recognized by Me. For you to hear Me say, "Enter, O good and faithful servant." For you to have been good and faithful in My Service. O! I so enjoy the surprise in a heart who hears these words! Who has not recognized the value of self on earth, but receives My Glory here in Heaven! The look of surprise is called Humility. For such a heart is all too often not recognized by man, but is received with open Arms by Me!
Who hears My Word? Truly? Who LIVES My Word? Really? Who comes to sip from My Running Water? Who is nourished only in My Word, My Food, Me? Who is satisfied with MY Gifts rather than the offerings of sinful pride?
O children, all too often, you hold yourselves in such high esteem! Who around you, who you do not recognize, is silently proclaiming My Greatness by the simplicity of life, while YOU are proclaiming the greatness of self? One, dear children, is a rain drop. While the other is a burst of hot air!
I smile, because I see your reaction to My Words! O! Would that I see a living river before Me and not the heat of air which rises from the lava flow. But even THERE, I see the potential for life! You could have been a free-flowing river, but you have chosen to be the bed rock of a future life. Yes, life will occur, only it will take longer, now. You see, dear children, it is a matter of free will.
I am the River of Life. Those who come to My Shore imbibe freely, My Word. They grow. They are planted! Life teems! According to My Will. The Source of Life is recognized and it is preferred to a Path of self-will. The Life I give increases! I plant even in a desert! For I am the Source of Life!
All are given the opportunity to seek and recognize Me. The level of commitment is you own choice. But CHILD, you HAVE been created to serve Me! And so, time spent in the service to the world, stunts you. Let it not kill you. I warn you. By My Word. By My Life. Come, follow Me. It is My Heart's Desire that you come and follow Me. But I can only invite. I can only teach. I can only die once for your sake. Now, it is for you to die for My Sake. To die to the world, that you might live. Truly Live. In Me.
And so, I speak to you. Here and elsewhere. In My Scripture. Through the Voice of My Church. You are well instructed. You are well informed. There is no need for anything new. For you have not yet grasped what I have done for you. Not fully. Not yet. Do you realize the value in My Word? God. Has spoken. To His people. God. Has told you. What to do. I have not left you orphans. There is no excuse. I have given you My Life. I give you the Food of My Flesh, the Drink of My Blood. My Father, I give to you. My Spirit, I give to you. My Mother, I give to you. I am nothing, that you might be everything! And so, the riches you possess should be.....Me! Am I your Most Priceless "possession"? Or do I STILL compete with the world?
No, you cannot truly possess God. But I DO give you My Self to have, to hold, to be One in Me. For all Eternity! Children! I am your Bridegroom! You are My spouse. What sort of Marriage do we have?
Are you one in Me? Yet?
That is all, Sarah. (Yes, my Lord. I bow before Your Glory. Amen. Maranatha. Amen.)
(Jer. 17:5-10; Ps. 1:1-4, 6; Lk. 16:19-31)
With Love, in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary,
His Sarah
