          “The beauty and magnificence of My Presence among you lifts you out of this world into the realm of spirit and real life.  I am ETERNITY, Light, and Life.  He who lives in Me becomes an eternal, light and life-filled being.  He is not confined to earthly time and space, but soars in the heavenlies with Me.  His prayers lift him above the cares of the world.  He dwells with the angels and saints and his “conversation is in heaven.”

          It is not a matter of rules and regulations in My kingdom.  Love is the law of the land.  Love is the motive behind every action – love for God and love of neighbor, God’s child.  You can tell a Christ follower by his love, for his love shines forth from his clay shell.  God’s love beams through his eye sockets and surrounds his flesh of clay with a glorious halo of grace.  Streams of life-giving water flow from his words and actions.  All of his steps are God-ordered and God-directed.

          These souls are the sheep of My flock which I shepherd in this darkened world.  They follow Me through the thickets of obstacles and temptations, making it through the brambles in triumphant victory.  They step through the clearing only to see the beautiful green pastures spread out before them, paths of peace with God in everlasting joy.

          O my sheep, My people, I go before you.  I lead you through the dark days into the light of God’s joy.  Trust My leading hand and follow faithfully in My bloody footsteps.  I have sacrificed all for you to open the door to My Father’s house.  You are all welcomed into My Father’s open arms.  He delights in your reconciliation.

          Come into the joy of your God, your Father.  He awaits you to love you and bless you.  His grace will overwhelm you.  He is all goodness and love.”

 

Jesus,

Love of God Made Manifest in a Fleshly Form

          “My Kingdom is a land of peace.  Like a beautiful river sparkling in the sunshine, the presence of My peace invades the soul in all its beauty, lifting the heart to the heavenly land awaiting you.

          I have created a heavenly land of peace for you, My children.  Just as I prepared the earth for your inhabitance, I have prepared a most glorious land of engaging beauty and peacefulness.  Your imagination could not conceive of such beauty.  It is beyond the sphere of your power to penetrate.  There is a veil that must be lifted to allow you to pass beyond your earthly limitations.

          Souls that seek Me with all their hearts lift the veil separating earth from the holy land of heaven.  They abide under My shadow, awaiting Me to take them with Me to our eternal abode once their time on earth has commenced.  As patient children, they stay contentedly beneath My wings of love, glorying in My nearness.  The earth no longer exists for them; all things are now the currency for heaven.  They barter their life away on earth to earn heavenly rewards of glory.

          These children do not seek fame or fortune.  The world no longer attracts them.  The world speaks a foreign language.  They speak the language of the new heavens and the new earth.  They speak God’s language.  They live with the angels and saints on earth, their conversation with heaven alone.  They are quiet, peaceful and simple, unknown to the world, yet known to the heavenly world.

          These are My brilliant jewels, ready to be displayed forever in the heavens, My sons and daughters of grace, those that have lost their lives on earth to love Me and serve Me.  Their reward is eternal.

          Few and far between are these holy souls on earth, hidden behind the bulrushes.  They float through life peacefully and quietly, loving and adoring their Father and Creator.  They are hidden within the heart of Jesus, the Christ.

They will come to their full flowering, fragrantly perfuming heaven only in the next life, the true life.

          Hidden souls of goodwill, your faithfulness has delighted the heart of your loving Father.  Rest beneath the shadows of His wings as you have been doing.  You are soaking in His glory rays to be eternally clothed in them.

          How blessed you are!  You are the children of the Light!”

Jesus,

        Light Giver

          “My love poems continue throughout the centuries.  I have no other song to sing but My song of love for My children.  My heart is an open book.  I hold nothing back.  My heart is before you.  Do with Me what you will, for I am yours for the taking.  I have put Myself at the service of the human race.  Love constrained Me to give all of Myself to mankind. 

          Are there any takers?  Do any of you accept My love and return your heart to Me?

          I am the Great Beggar in the sky, begging My children to love Me.  Even though I came to earth to die for their love, they reject Me.  I am the wounded Jesus, rejected, despised, forgotten, cursed and blasphemed.  Yet the journey continues as I await the souls who answer Love’s call.

          It will be a small group, but they will live with Me eternally because they proved themselves worthy of an eternal reward because they lost their lives on earth to embrace Me, the God they have never seen.  They love Me though they do not see Me with their physical eyes.  They live in My heart.  They are My eternal jewels, the brilliance of My kingdom, the delight of My Father, the Holy Spirit’s instruments.

          I sing My songs of love to you, My holy children.  I am leading you to glory, calling to you with My songs of love.”

Jesus,

Eternal Singer

           “The power of love freely given touches the heart of your omnipotent Creator and Father.  God is love.  All He has created is fashioned in and for love.  He seeks to surround Himself with a loving family, pure and holy as He is.  The dear God has given all of Himself to humanity, asking nothing in return but love which proves itself by obedient trust.

          Your rejected God weeps for the children of men.  In their miserable rebellion, they reject their own mercy.  They throw away an eternity of jubilant bliss.

          The plans of God are beyond man’s finite comprehension.  As in the intricacies of His designs on earth, creating multiple species in the plant and animal kingdoms, so God has an eternity to reveal His artistry to His children.  Vistas beyond your imagination await you, faithful children of earth.  Infinite galaxies await your discovery.  Life forms beyond human comprehension hide in the heavenlies.

          I ask you to live by faith, My children, for your reward will be immense.  If you suffer with Me during this world of trials and tribulations, you will rule and reign with Me forever.  “My ways are not your ways”, My children.  Trust that My plans for you are beautiful and enchanting.  Colors, smells, tastes, and thoughts beyond your human intelligence to grasp await you.

          Your hope is sure, My beloved ones.  Your future glory awaits you.  Do not look at the temporal; keep your focus on the eternal where I await you to bless you magnificently and lavishly throughout the endless ages.”

 

Your God of Faithful Promises

          “When you feel ill-disposed, weary, discouraged, or depressed, run to Me for all the answers you need.  This is a journey of faith, facing difficulties every day of your life.  I am teaching you an extreme dependence on Me, for we are one.  I am living My life in the world through you.  On earth, I relied on My Father for everything.  I was in constant communion with Him.  I truly relied on Him for everything, for My delight was to do His will alone.

          Life is a constant battle for your heart.  Distractions call you, souls get your mind off the eternal, your faults and failings depress you – you are a weak human; therefore, you need the strength of your God at all times.  The moment you look away from Him, you start to fall, just as Peter sank beneath the waves when he took his eyes off Mine.

          I know your frailties and your fears.  I understand that the battle is wearying, but just as an earthly father waits lovingly for a toddler to get up again after a fall, I wait for you so gently, hoping you will trust in My help and watchcare for you.  When you are discouraged, you have taken your eyes off Me and have placed them on yourself.  If you constantly have your eyes on My omnipotence, you will trust My guidance and know that all things are working for your good.

          The lesson is this:  Keep your eyes on your Savior-God who will lead you through life’s journey in peace and safety.  Do not belittle or berate yourself, for I know that you are made of dust and are so weak.  I am here to help you and to cheer you on, for the battle will make you a strong warrior for God.  He is carving you into a saintly soldier, fighting with the heavenly hosts against Satan’s hordes on earth.

          Press on, My little ones, made great by My glory.  I will win the battle with an army of weak men of flesh made stronger than the supernatural powers in the heavenlies by My life in them.  This is not your battle – it is Mine.  You are to trust and obey and never to take your eyes off the Captain of your soul.”

Jesus, Warrior-King

          “Union with God is an upward journey of the heart, as each step of faith draws you closer to My most Sacred Heart.  The results seem invisible, but daily the flesh is dying and the spirit is being renewed.

          Love begets union.  Passionate love begets passionate union.  The more you desire Me, the closer our hearts are knit together in love.

          Speak to Me incessantly.  Your loving praises rise as a sweet incense before My holy throne.  I desire a love without limit, a pure affection, a sincere purpose of amendment, true contrition, a seeking heart.

          The awareness of My Presence brings the reward of transformation.  Simply to set your mind on Heaven changes and renews your spirit.  Such a small price to pay for such great rewards.

          The banishment and exile of life prevent man from seeing clearly.  His eyes were blinded on that fateful day of Adam’s fall from grace.  Henceforth, all men need to appear before Me, begging the grace of eyes to see and ears to hear before they can recognize Heaven.  I anoint My children with eye salve to open their blinded eyes to the reality of eternity with God.

          Each moment aware of My Presence is another step to clarity of sight.  Are you wasting time on things of naught when you can daily be growing in holiness by centering your thoughts and activities on Me?  Ponder this.  What do you spend time on?  Do you really have anything worthwhile to show for these precious hours wasted?

          Ask Me how to spend your time.  I can teach you the ways of Heaven, so diametrically opposed to man’s natural inclinations.  Since I am the fountain of all wisdom, I implore you to come to Me with every question and concern you have, especially in matters of spirituality.  “I will lead you and guide you in the way you should walk.”

          I am always here for you.  Do not look for answers from man.  Those answers are biased and unstable.  “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life.”  Come to Me for salvation.”

Jesus,

Rock of the Ages

          “I want souls of happiness to serve me.  Their eager anticipation to abandon all to embrace My will pleases Me greatly.  No job, however small, will be unrewarded.  Man strays from the path when he fails to fulfill the duties wherein I have placed him.  He is to sanctify every duty, no matter how trivial or mundane.  He can spill lavish amounts of perfume on the most monotonous of tasks and this will please Me more than those done for praise of men.

          Yes, even changing a diaper is a beautiful work done in My Name.  Haven’t I told you countless times that My ways are not your ways?  How many souls skip over the works of My will in their daily lives striving for the great activities, not realizing that they have not really accomplished anything commendable in My eyes?  I do not see as man sees.  The more secret, arduous and lowly a work is, the more highly do I esteem it.

          Man pursues deeds to be noticed, to be admired, great deeds of heroic perseverance.  I value simple tasks done in humility flavored with great love and kindness.

          O men of the world, when will you stop to learn of Me?  My ways are so different than your ways.  My values are almost the opposite of yours.

          You are running on a treadmill, pursuing the same paths over and over again.  You cannot advance because you do not listen to My admonitions.

          Come to Me in the silence.  Let Me speak to you.  Let Me chart your course for you.  I will bring you safely to port.  You vessel now runs in a zigzag motion.  Let Me bring your ship quickly to shore.”

 Jesus,

Master Oarsman
