Dear Jesus and Holy Mother,
[The Lord speaks.....]
Children! O children! DO look around you! Where
have you come from? Where are you going? In whom are you grounded?
In whose house do you dwell? Where am I welcomed? Where am
I refused? How many hearts receive Me well? How many hearts
refuse? O lambs, I tell you this: their numbers are weak compared
to those whose hearts are cold.
Now, let Me tell you about kindling. Yes, the wood which sets
the fire. Yes, the temperature needed at which wood would burn.
Are you willing to join Me as kindling? Are you WILLING to be burnt
as a sacrifice for Me, that those hearts which will be Mine would come
to fire in Me? Do you see how varied you are, little ones?
I, Who hear your every word, your every conversation, can see firsthand,
the variety you are. See how you give Glory to God by your sheer
variety? That I, Who am He, can create such a gathering of souls
un-alike, yet alike within Me!
My lambs, here Me further. A heart who refuses My Advance is
not your enemy. He who would deny you your right to advance in Me
requires your prayer, for the enemy prowls and whispers all sorts of wild
fancies to dissuade your progress in Me. But the enemy reels because
I, Who am God, wield Supreme Authority. My Will WILL be done by the
means I choose to accomplish it.
Look upon MY Life! How easily those around Me could lose Faith.
And, some did. They could not handle the moment of Grace in their
midst. They looked for human answers to My Divine Presence, and they
found none. Ah! If they had only looked to their prayerful,
penitential hearts, they would have seen the Truth standing in their midst.
I am HERE, lambs! Standing in your midst. I call once
again. Who shall follow? Who shall hear and believe?
Who shall see the True Life in My Words? Who shall see that what
I say is for all? My Word, My Scripture, LIVES! C-H-I-L-D-R-E-N!
I have said I have come just for Y-O-U! Then SEE where in My Word
you are! Can you not understand this? [I could almost see
a certain "frustration" in Jesus' emotion.....] YES, child!
I DO raise My Hands to God, My Father, for My Sheer Desire for you!
[Jesus' Head is down and He is shaking it.....]
Father, forgive them, they do not know what they do. They are
still blind. Wounded by sin, My Father, they do not yet see clearly
My Image, My Life, in their midst! Father, grant them Wisdom to see
and Understanding to know Your Way. Spirit! Breathe upon these
hearts that all blinding scales will be burned from their eyes! Spirit!
Breathe anew! Refresh their spirits, O God! Patience, Endurance,
all-Virtue...grant to them, Father. For those who wait, need Our
Strength. That Your Will be done, O Heavenly Father. Amen.
