Dear Jesus and Holy Mother,
[Jesus speaks.....]
Children, I ask you something: Do not measure your relationship with Me. Do not mete out what you do as a way to a life in Me. It is I Who will draw you like water from a well, and it is I Who will fill the well with the water that will be drawn. I am not a formula. There is no measure to Love, now, is there?Let Me ask you another question. How much water is required to put out a forest fire? How many gallons? Do you know, or do you set out to extinguish that which would destroy? Would you not work tirelessly, without measure until the task is complete? Then, what of our Love?
If you approach Me in a rote sort of way, then you eventually become a slave to yourself, and not a willing servant of Mine. If you think you can do "this" so that I shall do "that" then you are becoming presumptuous with Me, and *I* am God and YOU are not. That is a very plain fact, My lambs. If you offer Me Sacrifice, if you offer Me praise, it should rise from a free flowing place within you. We have spoken of obedience much this week, have we not? But true obedience should rise from a loving desire deep within your heart. Obedience should become as a natural behaviour for you. Because you Love Me. Then, you would not offend Me.
Why do you think I have summed up the Law in the Law of Love? Yes.....we must start somewhere, and all that you do to be with Me should be in prayer that Love will be increased in you for Me. For I already Love you perfectly. And child, so much have I spoken of being. Being in Me. Do you know that you can be in Me even if for the moment, you have abandoned all sort of formal prayer? Do you know that THIS moment is prayer? Afterall, am I not speaking to you? Is your heart not stirring, My Lamb? Are you not coming to know Me better, to Love Me more, to serve Me with a purer heart? See? THIS is prayer.
Yet, there is the discipline of formal prayer, of sacrifice, of praise. Yes, yes, yes. But, child, as you grow in Me, these will rise from a desire to be in Me. More and more. To be in Me.
Our relationship is to GROW, My lambs! To grow into a Lovely Plant of Life. True Life. True Life in God. True Life in Me! I pursue you. I long to be pursued by YOU! I long for our holy intimacy. I Long for your True Love. I long for you to turn to Me in all things. I say ALL things. ALL things. Nothing reserved from Me.....Ah yes, child, DO record it. (Yes, my Jesus.)
"He only asks of you abandonment and perfect submission. Nothing displeases Him so much as your uneasiness and despondency. What do you fear? Is He not powerful enough to support you? Why, then, are you so reserved with Him? Let Him act!" ["Thoughts & Sayings of St. Margaret Mary" for March 13]
[Jesus continues.....]
A clean and pure heart, I Desire. Margaret Mary grew to have one. She abandoned herself unto Me. We grew in Love for one another and True Praise sang in her heart for Me. It still does.Children, you are each in process in Me. Let your progress in Me be your willing heart, your Loving heart. Desire oneness, and I shall show you the way. Falling in Love is Beautiful. Growing in Love is Great. Being in Me is Best. For Here, in this moment, much Grace is poured out upon you. Much Grace rises up within you. Here in this Moment.....ours. You in Me, I in you. Purity of heart is an outpouring of being in Me. Let the breath that you breathe be My Name.....Jesus! Let the stirring in your heart be My Spirit. Let the Hand that you hold be My Father's. God enraptures you. God would absorb you into Purest Love. And yet, God would let you be.....here.....now.....that through YOU, I would reflect My Glory! Ah! A purified heart is like a clear window into the Very Heart of God! Let Me open you. Let us BREATHE together, little one! Love Loves you. Let Love become your Life. Amen. †
