          “I speak daily.  Who is listening?  Those that hear are wise.  They have chosen eternal riches in a world gone mad with glamour and pleasure.  My little chosen ones, tucked away in little homes all over the world, are My couriers, bringing heaven to earth, interceding for souls, suffering for unjust deeds done against a holy God, mourning for those who laugh in idle tranquility. 

          To be a soldier in My army requires much discipline, and above all, self-discipline.  It is not easy to sit alone quietly with Me waiting for My voice in the stillness.  Heaven speaks to quiet spirits of goodwill, those yearning and straining to hear God’s voice within their soul.

          I am the Eternal Word, Jesus Christ.  I speak the words of the Eternal God.  None of My words are without effect.  One word from Me can change your life.  Why will you not stop to listen?  Why are you running hurriedly in every direction daily?  What are you accomplishing in this hasty way of living?  You only have one lifetime to reap eternal gains.  Are all these useless pastimes worth anything in the eyes of eternity?

          You live in a culture of the extremes – extreme selfishness, extreme greed for instant gratification, extreme self-seeking.  Where is My glory?  It is hidden in the little ones that linger in My presence. 

          Throw away these dirty rags that are staining your spirit.  They are worthless activities in My eyes.  Cultivate the garden of your soul with quietness, tranquility, serenity, stillness, and simplicity.  There you will find God in all His glory waiting for you.  You cannot find God in all this useless activity.  It is a ploy to keep you diverted from truth.

          Come back to your Creator, My children.  Turn away from the world’s way of thinking.  It is useless.  I offer you an eternal treasure.  Will you leave Me, as the rich young ruler left Me?  Will you choose your earthly toys over Me?  How sad I will be!  Hear My words of loving welcome:  “Come unto Me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden and I will give you rest …”

Lovingly,

Jesus

          “Thanksgiving and praise glorifies My Father’s wonderful goodness.  My Father is a fountain of purity, love, and holiness that overflows copiously upon the children of God.  All souls are blessed by My Father, even the most wicked men.  How My Father longs to change their hearts from evil to good!  We wait patiently for men to acknowledge our goodness, always distributing our gifts regardless of how we are treated.  We are love and cannot help but to love all men with an infinite love!

          I became the lowest and least esteemed man on earth to redeem mankind.  I was labeled a fanatic, a deceiver, a crazy man – even by those closest to Me.  My life was lived with constant misunderstandings, slights, and rejection.  I persevered because of the love I cherished for My Father and His holy will. 

          Obedience was absolutely everything to Me.  I trusted in My Father’s love and goodness as I walked the earth in a human body, so frail and weak.  I also had to look through mortal eyes with the eye of faith that God would work everything in accord with His divine purpose.

          To see My loved ones suffer because of  My obedience hurt me deeply, yet I continued on the path of lowly obedience, despising the shame and carrying My cross bravely and joyfully to bring honor and glory to My Father.

          As you get to know Me better, you will be transformed more and more into My likeness.  You also will be rejected and scorned by the world as you follow in My footsteps.  The world offers trophies and praises.  I offer suffering and humble obedience, yet My paths are paths of peace and joy, for they travel the roads of My heart where they reside.

          A child’s simple gaze of love pierces the veil.  A simple obedient ‘yes’ to My will charms your steps.  Do not be afraid to follow Me fanatically, for I was the fanatic lover nailed to the cross for you.”

Obedient Servant

          “To know and experience the penetrating love of God brings divinity to earth.  God is love.  All He has made was made in and through love.  To become one with God in love is to become divine.  The world needs to see and experience divinity walking the streets.  Man is imprisoned and cannot free himself because of his blindness.  A soul unified to his Creator brings the ray of hope to souls.  Light shines in the darkness.  The prison is exposed for what it is.

          My children are light-filled instruments of My glory.  They truly are “the saints in light” dispersed throughout the world.  Their light shines in the darkness, and the darkness does not understand it.  They walk in the footsteps of Jesus, the Light of the World, rejected by the darkness.

          To be a follower of Jesus is to imitate His life on earth.  His life was not one of ease and comfort.  He was a burden bearer every day of His life.  He carried the burdens of the world on His shoulders.  His cross was the ultimate burden to bear.  He took upon Himself all the burdens of the world to offer forgiveness, redemption, and reconciliation to man.

          The light can only illuminate and permeate a soul to the extent it has passively surrendered everything back to God.  In your surrender and abandonment is your illumination.  Let God’s light blaze within you as you follow Him serenely abandoned to His holy will in all that happens to you daily.  This journey is one moment at a time abiding in Christ.  Only He can give you the actual grace to maintain this contact.  Cry out for this union that God desires for you.  He can light up the world through a soul completely abandoned to His holy and glorious love.  Will you be that soul?  He’s waiting breathlessly …”

Jesus,

God’s Love

          “How could I not reveal Myself to a soul interested in Me?  There are so few souls in these days of hurried activity that take the time to be silent before Me.  The perfection of the heart takes time.  It needs to be cultivated and fertilized as a most beautiful garden should be.

          So many gardens today are unkempt and littered with debris.  There are no orderly rows of life-giving plants.  There is disorder and chaos.  What should give off a pleasant and beautiful aroma smells of stench, refuse, and useless garbage.

          Man has filled his soul with the evil products of this world.  He has forgotten the beauty of nature, the purity of time spent alone in prayer with God.  The churches where I reside are empty while the houses of pleasure multiply.  Man says he has no time for Me very blatantly.  Even though I keep him in existence, I am relegated as insignificant.

          Oh, the beauty and the inexpressible joy of a soul in love with God!  The union is so delightful that there is no inclination whatsoever to return to earthly delights.  They seem transitory and vain, a useless waste of time.  What is not of God is nothing!

          My little children of love, you warm My heart, so rejected by an indifferent world.  I cover you with My everlasting wings, sheltering you, shielding you, warming you, and strengthening your littleness.  I am truly a God of the ‘little ones’. They are the apple of My eye, My coat of arms, My joyful repose.

          My love has no limits in their regard.  My infinity penetrates their littleness.  We become one.”

Jesus,

Lover of the Little Ones
