Dear Jesus and Holy Mother,

[Jesus speaks.....]
Little ones, hear Me.  Faith is a journey.  And along the way I test your Faith.  Not to see you fail, but to see you grow.  Faith must be rock solid; and I expose the cracks, the fissures in your own level of Faith, that experience can fill in the gaping hole, that you will see its mark and grow forward, from that point.

Do you believe Me, little ones, that I Love you?  Then why do you live as if you are not loved?  Why do you live as an orphan, when your Parent is Here, waiting for your Love, waiting for you to turn with eyes of Faith, solely, to Me?  Why do you prefer the vacuum of the world to the Richness of Me?  Why do you try and test Me?  Do you not know that I am Perfect Patience and My Virtue is inexhaustible?  Yet, you DO try, do you not?  And yet, I Love you, for I am Perfect Love.  And yet, I rear you through the error of your ways because I am Perfect Truth, Justice, Mercy.  All Good Things come to those who wait, who wait upon the Lord.  Stumbling blocks are sometimes given to help you grow.  And some are permitted to be, though placed by you, that you will learn, finally, that I am God and you are not.

My Way is Perfection.  Would that you prefer My Way to your own.  Would that you would relinquish your way for My Own Way.  Job had the "patience of a saint" but the Patience he bore was My Own.  For if you do not assume My Way, surely, you shall be lost.  My Way is Eternal.  Man's way ends.  Come, begin anew in Me.  Forthcoming is the fruit of our journey.

My little ones, hear Me.  God is calling you to a higher plain.  My Vision is expansive and I do  permit you to enter My Vision.  To see within your own being, your own limits, as I see.  I see all, and in Me you shall see clearly, all you need to see.

Who do you say that I am?  Let your answer be marked by your life.  May your life be identifiable as being in Me.  Little ones, I instruct you.  Heed Me well.  But know this:  My Mercy endures forever.  Glory and Praise abound in My Presence.  Come, enter into My Kingdom.  My Kingdom is with you now.  Do recognize Me.  Prefer Me to the world.  For the world will fade.  But MY Brilliance endures forever.  Focus on Me.  I am the Prize worth winning!  I am the Prize already won!

Now, let us journey forward in Faith.  Step by step into the Hands of God.  All, according to My Will.  Amen.    †
