Dear Jesus and Holy Mother,

[Jesus speaks.....]
Weakness in Me is strength.  A crushed spirit is your hope.  For unless you are willing to be crushed in spirit, you cannot come and follow Me.  There are many who "tag along."  There are many who stay for awhile to observe, to act upon the emotions of their feelings.  But they are short-lived in endurance, and now they are gone from Me.  But you.....you who would remain.....you begin to realize that to remain with Me means you come to that place of willingness.  Let "willingness" become the name of your journey in Me.  Willing to be cleansed completely for the fullness of Life in Me.  Willingness does not stop at the word, children.  Willingness of heart becomes purity of heart.  Willingness allows Me to enter your heart and to rule.  For you have tried it YOUR way long enough.....and where have we come to be?  Now, in your renewed willingness, shall we proceed into MY Plan for you?  MY Plan for you.....yes.....one exists.  But you have been preferring YOUR plan all along.  You thought it would be pleasing to Me, but as you exercised YOUR plan, I have exercised My Patience and Endurance, as I have waited for you to come to be in Me.  As *I* would have you be, not as YOU would limit your being in Me.

And so.....now when you begin to set off on the Journey upon which I send you, it is with less of the world and more of Me.  My Journey, My Will precedes you because YOU are finally bowed low enough to see, clearly, My Way.  .....Yes, it is all a process, but a process which works more purely in you, now that you are stripped of all which had separated us:  YOUR pride, YOUR ego, YOUR plan, YOUR life, YOUR self.

For, truly, what is a person, but a creation of God into whom the Breath of God has been breathed?  For all of who you think you are.....*I* think you are MINE!  And our oneness begins when you think as I think, by the Gift of Wisdom I had given you so long ago.  My Gifts live because *I* live!  And YOU live, because you are of Me!

I ask you to go forth in My Name, and to leave the world behind.  Bring with you only the strictest necessity.  So WILL you let Me peel you now of all which must go, so that as the Journey starts, continues.....you shall not be burdened by life, but be pure in spirit in ME!

Daughters and sons, hear Me.  I am calling you.  I HAVE called you for all time.  By your name.  I have been waiting.  Shall we go?  Am *I* not enough for you?  Am *I* not the only Necessity you really need?  Peace and contentment?  .....Perhaps not.  A place to lay your head.....well, neither do I.   For the world has changed.  It does not know Me.  But you.....do you know Me?  Shall you listen to Me, this time?  Shall we go?  What shall we bring?  I hope.....I pray.....you shall bring ME!  Amen.    †
