Dear Jesus and Holy Mother,
It is I, child, your Heavenly Father. Let us write now. (Yes, Abba.
I Love You, Lord.)
My children, hear Me. I place you upon this earth. I give to you certain Commands. They are My Laws. To be obeyed. Now, you can choose to do right or wrong. To obey Me or disobey Me. The choice is yours. Truly, your reward should rise from your innate desire to do what is right, to please Me. To find satisfaction in the world is to seek happiness from the wrong place.
Within each of you, My lambs, is the agility for right and for wrong. When you let things enter your heart, mind and soul, you have decided to imbibe the good or the bad around you. Do you spend more time concerned with things that kill mortal flesh, than those which kill the Life in your soul?
Children! Your minds are like echoey caverns when it comes to the thoughts that do not belong there. In a mind, evil, immoral thoughts can lurk to cause distraction, to cause you to sin. But how has this thought entered, but by your desire to be open to that which you should avoid.
Your soul is a pure creation. It is where I choose to dwell in you. Yet, you have all been stained with original sin: your innate tendency toward weakness, toward sin. I would lift this burden from you in Baptism. For most, I already have. And now you have the ability to breathe freely in Me. Yet, you likewise have the ability to cling to the wrong and to sin. It is in these moments that you build a wall around your temple in an effort to confine Me, and to create a foggy place in which you can live.....as if between two worlds. Children: the issue is black or white. So, to choose to live in a life of sin is to choose other than a Life in Me. And without My Help, all things that enter you are greeted with your self-willed desire to linger in the darkness of sin. Your sinful tendencies rise up to "greet" the sin in the world. You walk away from Me. You hide My Light. You decide to participate in vice instead of Virtue.
Do you see how your flesh is governed by your mind, your soul? As sin grows within you, your desire increases for pleasures of the flesh. CHILDREN! Can you not see the clear distinction of Good and evil?
Life in Me is a training process. Just as an athlete trains the body, so too, you must come to train your spirit. What sort of a kingdom are you creating in your soul? One of YOUR image? Or are you bowed in Reverence before MY Presence within you? Who rules this heart kingdom within you? The world would say that YOU rule. The pure heart knows that it is MY Right to rule. The only conflict arises from your choice, your free willed choice.
Sinful tendancies can be corralled. They can be maintained. They can be conquered. But never by you alone. You shall never accomplish this without Me. And so, I have sent My Son into the world. I have pierced the human spirit with His Cross. His Blood flows to heal you, to strengthen you, to bring you Home, fully, into Me. All Good I have lavished upon you. I have never withdrawn Myself from humanity. I have increased Myself in your sight. I have breathed into you My Spirit. And the Choice Food given is the Body and Blood of Jesus. Grace flows like a River to nourish you. And the Fruits of My Spirit become the growth on your Tree of Life. Yes, sin lurks. Sinful desires never cease. But children, I Grace you generously, and I welcome you into My Open, Loving Arms. I hold you in the Palm of My Hand. I teach you. I enrich you. I give you the arms of Holy Mary. I give you Life in the Church. You are one in Me through My Son's Body. You lack in no Good Thing. Why choose death, when I Who am God have given you Life?
Yet, your weakness remains. And I Pity you and upon you do I flow My Mercy. Let that River become rich and deep within your soul. That this fertile valley where you would choose to live is within the Heart of your God. It is as I have Desired for you. Return to your innocence, little ones. Let go of sin and come to grasp God. See? I hold out My Hand. It is called Forgiveness. And your repentance is perfected in My Son. I have done all things Willingly, Lovingly, for you. I wait for your free willed choice to re-enter this True Life in Me. That you would grow, My child, here in this Garden of My Love. Amen. †
