Dear Jesus and Holy Mother,
[The Lord speaks.....]
My Garden. It was Perfection. My people. You were of Me. Sinless. Spotless. Yet, thoughts not focused on Me were directed to the pleasures of self. And so, the first fall. O people: you are so weak in the enemy's hands! But how have you come to be there, but by your own choice, your own free will! I give you Grace that you might go outward to be in My Presence wherever you are. But you let the foulness of evil tarnish your good works, your good soul. And your sinful inclinations would overshadow you. The appeal.....the song is so sweet. It lures you away from Me, and you follow. Children! The music, the air which you follow will lead you to perdition. Your crime, sin, against Me grows! Why have you left My Path.O little ones! I come to make the matter right! That you would see Me in all that you do. That evil would fade from your focus as you come to focus on Me. Search for Me in every opportunity. Seek Me in constant prayer: your state of being in Me.
Plotting, plotting, conjuring up a multitude of thought. Children! You have a fascination with all that distracts you from Me. Can you not see that you, yourselves, overturn your own place of security in Me? Is the lure of self-satisfaction so great, that you would spend more time pursuing your own interests rather than Mine?
You have been created to serve ME. Then, why do you spend so much time creating your own comforts, and the elevation of your own spirits? Who is it that you adore, afterall? Be careful not to answer Me too quickly, lambs. Examine your consciences. Be truthful in your hearts. Lambs: I am God, you are not.
This is what I would say to you this day: Love Me first, then your neighbor as yourself. Come to a proper understanding of how to Love yourself. To Love yourself is to desire your oneness in Me.....not to spend your time in endeavors which take you away from Me. You cannot truly Love your neighbor if you do not, first, care for yourself. This is not selfishness, it is Truth. For, what sort of service do you render to another if it is pouring out like sand from the wasteland of your empty heart? And how can you Love Me if you do not let Me reside within you?
Do not be jealous of the Good in your midst. REJOICE over the Good in your midst! For the Goodness is the Oasis in your midst. Why do you prefer the desert? Why do you prefer your own shallowness to the fruition of My Love within you?
It is all about perspective. Whose vision do you prefer? Whose vision do you desire? Mine? Or yours? Do not sell yourselves cheap. Do not enter into servitude with the enemy. Remain in Me. Pray for perserverance. Trust in Me. I am your Lord. I am your God. Let no idol worship be present between us. Honour Me. Love Me. Love yourself and your neighbor in the same way. See? It is, in the end, about Love. I am Love. Come. Be. Amen. †
