Dear Jesus and Holy Mother,

[Jesus speaks.....]
Children, you must have persistence in Me in your lives.  If you do not persist, you shall die.  If you persist in self rather than in Me, you shall die a lonely death.  For all which you see will be as rotting flesh.  Instead of Hope in Eternal Life, you shall see only your demise.  Can you see yet, why I have asked repeatedly that you come to follow ME?

A heart is so easily wounded by the darts and arrows in this world.  By this I mean the stabbing wounds of unkindness.  For lack of Charity can cast off a legion of arrows at all around you.  But you shall survive the attack if you are focused on Me.  If your focus becomes so fine-tuned that you are now IN Me.  For this is how I Desire it to be!  You in Me; I in you.

Little ones, hear Me speak to your hearts.....For if I speak to your ears it will surely go in one side and come out the other.....See how I know you so well?  [.....Jesus smiles tenderly.]  I have told you that heart is the Kingdom where My Love would resound within you.  Yes, this is so.  But only if YOU welcome My Love!  I shall not inflict Myself upon you, even though I already dwell within you!

The life that you lead must be fought in the face of the enemy.  But it can be LIVED in My Heart.  Come follow Me.   See ahead of us the Cross.  Yes.....the Cross.   But looming beyond it is all Eternity.  And Heaven is My Home and I bid you to join Me there.

Children, I adjure you to pray for yourselves.  Pray for those you Love.  Pray for those you hate.   And pray for yourselves once more.  Pray for all who you know and do not know.  Pray that in Me, you come to know yourself, even as you come to know Me.  Repetitive prayer.  Ongoing prayer.  Prayer from the heart, given as Gift to Me!  Persistent prayer.  Persistent heart before Me.  Persistent heart within Me.  Persistent act of being.  For I shall never refuse you My Grace.  In fact, I use My Hand to bring you to Me.

Repetition in Me is gain.  Repetition in the world is drain.  But the choice is YOURS, little ones!  What shall yours be?  I DO hear all prayer!  I DO answer all prayer.  As *I* Will!

Pray for yourselves.  Pray for one another.  Pray for yourself.  That by YOU being in ME, more souls would follow.  For to follow Me is to follow Truth.  And to follow Truth is to draw, ever closer, Home.  In My Father.  Now and forever.....persistently forever.  Amen.    †
