Dear Jesus and Holy Mother,

[The Lord speaks.....]
There is a certain confidence lacking in mankind.  He who has a focus on the world, though he puts his trust in it, sees the fruitlessness of the endeavor, for all too easily, the world can be destroyed.  Natural disaster consumes in fire and quake.  Yet, natural Wonder replaces all which was lost with green and verdant pastures.  What of the recovery of your soul?

I stand before you now, your Lord and your God.  I ask of you a certain Confidence in ME!  Do you firmly believe all that I have spoken, which is taught in My Church?  Do you pray for Grace that you might lead a Life, True Life in Me?  Does the green pasture of Grace replace all which has been lost within your soul by the stain, the ravage of sin?

Children, yesterday I discussed that not as God sees, does man see.  You see the world.  I see eternity.  You see your body.  I see your soul.  You see the moment.  I am beyond time.  You trust in your own ability.  Where is your trust in Me?

DO be in Awe and Wonder of all I do for you, have done for you, will do for you!  DO wait in Joyful Hope of Me, knowing, confident, all the while that I have NEVER abandoned you.  Yes, feelings of abandonment come into you.....true.....but there is a difference between feeling abandoned and knowing you are not!  Know, and LIVE as children of God!  I have said I shall impart to you My Wisdom, and I shall.  And I shall Grant to you the Grace to live in Wisdom.  For if you are to see, you shall learn to know; and if you come to know, you will be all the closer to the Heart of your God.  And then you shall finally see the distinction between flesh and spirit.  All things should serve your spirit, if you finally begin to understand the investment of your soul.  Would you buy a building about to be torn down, unless you knew as well, the plans which follow the destruction?.....That in the stead of the old, would rise a new, efficient, finely tuned edifice?  So too, it is with you.  Remain in Me, for though the Temple was destroyed, it was raised in Three Days' time, was it not?  See?  I am a God of Hope.  But Hope requires vision beyond the head of the pin.

Rejoice in Me, for as God, I command all things which are subject to Me.  Light.  Darkness.  Good.  Evil.  And yes, I could command free will too, but I choose not to.  For I honour the freedom I have given.  And I  have chosen you, so too, I would wait for you to choose Me.  Perhaps I make your choice easier to make, but I do leave the freedom of the choice to you.  What you do and how you are will greatly influence, even determine, the outcome of your soul.  For though you are saved, you can deny Me as well.  For though you, like Me, are to pass through the Cross, you could choose to flee it.  For though you are deigned to enter My Kingdom, you could refuse it.  It is a matter of being subject to Me in all things, or not.  To bow before God and declare freely, your own inadequacies without Me.  This is not to belittle you, but to make you strong.  For I am the Light in every darkness.  And I am the Breath of God.  And I am the Father of all, all creation.  Are you My child?

Would you come before Me to have cast out of you, every presence of evil?  Would you permit this moment to be?  Would you live in Awe and Wonder of all which I do for you?  Would you permit My Healing Process to begin?  Would you openly declare that I am God and you are not?  That Truth and Light will succeed?  Gift to grow?  Confidence.....Truth.....absolutely.  Amen.    †
