Dear Jesus and Holy Mother,
[Jesus speaks.....]
My children, hear Me. Not all of life goes as you would think it should. But if your purpose, your self-willed purpose, is the Good of My Will, then I ask you to turn to Me in all things, and Trust that I, Who am God, can truly do all things. I can care for you as I care for the world. And all things which are My Will will be accomplished for the common good.I enliven those who welcome Me. To some, I give clarity of thought, clarity of vision, clarity of hearing. But My Gifts go wasted if you do not practice this Art of Loving Me. Yes, this is true. I do rely upon you, My little ones, for you are the garden I am growing; and if you continue to turn your head from My Light, then like a little flower, you shall wilt and die. This Love, afterall, is a RELATIONSHIP between you and Me. Let Me no longer be the lone Lover in this arrangement. How, afterall, can you be one in Me if you resist Me? This is not a game of "hard to catch". Afterall, I have already caught you, here in My Hand. It is for you to decide to stay, to remain with Me, or to flee and jump from My Grasp.
You have been created to know Me. I am here: are you trying? You have been created to Love Me, yourself, your neighbor as self. Do you? Do you try? Do you pray for a release from all which would block you from Love? Do you offer to Me your sin? How can you serve My Will? How can you serve in Love if you first pursue self knowledge and self Love? See? I have taught this in recent days. I have taught this for all time. I have taught this for 2000 years. What have you learned? How well do you live in Me?
Children, I DO desire Oneness. It is for this that I have come among you; to bring you to My Father. That we would be one in Him as He is in Me as I am in Him. Do not be your own stumbling block, little one. My Will. Not yours. Know My Will through prayer. Abandon yourself to Me. We cannot be one if you are clinging to yourself, to the flesh, the world, or to sin.
Perfect happiness is waiting. Now. What more can I say? Obey My Commands. The surest path to Oneness is Love. Love one another as I Love you. Lay down your life for your friend. Inside of every true Love there is the absence of self. For the self which is abandoned has firm trust that the other would Love the self so freely given. Yes, in the presence of every True Love there is the absence of self. And so, on the Cross hung My Body, and the Presence of My Father's Will. There did I hang, but My Love was being held in the Hands of My Father. And through the pain and torture, there was ever-present Love. Father, into Your Hands I commend My Spirit. Come, children, Love as I have Loved. Love as I Love. It is My Command. Do you have a choice? Yes you do: with Me or against Me. Amen. †
