Dear Jesus and Holy Mother,
[Jesus speaks.....]
Love one another as I have Loved you. I have bowed to the Will of My Father. I have entered the world as His Heir, His Son, His Priest. I have come to offer sacrifice. And sometimes, sacrifice is in being who you are in the place that you are. There is rhyme and purpose to life if you would enter it. But if you choose to remain on the edge.....the rim and do not enter, you will continually criticize. Because you do not truly understand. And you will, not to enter Life as My Father would have it be for you.And so, what is the Message? It is this: Are you willing to enter Life as My Father would have it be for you? Are you willing to walk with Me, even to the criticism of others? O children! If you spend your life in fear of all else; if you refuse to make your whole life new, if you insist on stuffing your new, changing self into your old lifestyle, then unhappiness shall enter your spirit. Because you had entered a new realm, but you are still insisting on looking at life through worldly vision.
How can you walk with Me and talk with Me and be with Me, and then one day think it can remain this way even as you would exclude Me? And you DO exclude Me. For there are still parts of your life that you see as exclusive of Me. And it is My Desire that we be whole.....you and I.....in all things.
Sacrifice, be willing to sacrifice your life so that the world might be better for it.....yes, the world.....where you are, but where you are likewise apart. Apart in your focus, which grows to be entirely upon Me. If you are to be new in Me, you must come to be willing to shed your old routines, the way that you have come to be in this world. I say "willing to shed....." because it is the act of your will which I await. All too many times you rush off into action without your will, without your "yes," never stopping to ask ME what I think about your plan. O children! How many plans in your life have burst.....not fit properly with the rest of your whole? Children, you are a patchwork quilt of life's experiences! And that is fine, as long as you grow in Me. That you start with rendering your heart to Me, that I might change it as I Will. To change you in all things: are you willing? That we might walk. That we might talk. That we might be. New. You in Me. You and Me. I in you. You in Me. Us in the Father. Old has its place: it has brought you to new. New has its place and it begins in Me. We have a place. In the Throne room of My Father.
Now, will you pause with Me for awhile? Let us evaluate where we are at: you and I.
Little ones, hear Me. I enter the world. It is never the same again. By My Sacrifice. Where are you in this image? Are YOU willing to enter, re-enter the world through My Plan, the Plan which is My Father's Plan? Are you willing to walk with Me and rejoice with Me while we have this time together? Are you willing to be new in Me? To relinquish the patchwork of your life for Me? Come, I shall show you the way.
Here. See her? She is My Mother. Now child, did you hear her "yes." Did you not follow her, My Mother? See? Her "yes" has brought us this moment. For it was all a part of My Father's Plan. Her yes. My Birth. Your birth. Your rebirth. Your yes. Your willing self. O child, I know you are traveling. I have seen you in the arms of My Mother all along. So, here we re. Shall you continue to grow in Me? To change in Me? To BE changed in Me? It is a matter of relinquishing self. Now, can I ask you to do something, child? Will you make an offering for Me? Will you lift to My Mother the old patchwork of your life? Will you accept the new garment of her mantle? For she would wrap you in her Love. And child.....I know so well, the warmth of that place. For I grew there, too. And now I give, I share this place with you. That you would grow. Anew. In Me. Amen. †
