Dear Jesus and Holy Mother,

[Jesus speaks.....]
Why is it that so many fear to be a true example of Me?  Why do you not listen to the True yearnings of your heart?  Why do  you not give Me full reign in your life?  Do you not trust Me?  Children:  How can YOU live by good example if your heart is in the wrong place.  If you are sitting in a judgment seat of another, you can no longer focus on your own needs in Me.  For your focus is in self thought, not in reliance upon Me.

Hear Me, O House of Israel.  Hear Me, O New Jerusalem.  For too long now I have given you My Way.  It is inexcusable that you, who have heard, do not live according to the Very Word which has been yours all along.  You cannot give good example until you, yourself, are good.  And Goodness is not yours unless you are truly alive in Me.  Do not pretend to be in Me, for you shall be found out.  I paint MY Example before you, that you might learn from the Master's Hand, how to be.  In Me.  Now.

How far does your commitment go?  Where is your endurance?  Your virtue is first and foremost, Mine.  Your life is My Gift to you.  Why would you do anything, but to live according to MY Law, MY Way, MY Church?  I ask you these things and I expect you to hear.....adhere to My Law.  For how else shall you come to truly know Me?  How can you serve Me with sincerity of heart?  First, you must be alive within, that then, by your actions, you will be recognized as My Own.  There is no room for the faint of heart in Me.  Come, I shall share with you, My Strength.  And our Oneness will become evident by your Life, your Way in Me.  Sometimes silent, sometimes proclaimed, always observed.

In Me.  Now and forever.  Amen.    †
