          “I have chosen you to go and bear fruit that will last.  As you abide in Me, as you remain in Me, My sap of love will flow through you to nourish My gifts and graces.

          You seek union with Me.  That is the highest grace and glory.  Union will be attained when God cleanses you of all fleshly defilement, when your will becomes God’s will, when you are dead to your flesh.  This is a process whereby God makes of you ‘another Christ’ on earth.  You are to lie still in obedience as you are fashioned by heavenly hands into a masterpiece of God’s love.

          I seek ‘presence’.  As you sit before Me, empty and silent, adoring and thanking, I mold you into Myself.  As you relax into My embrace, your malleability produces a perfect image.

          Has it taken so many years to tech you to let go and let Me form you in My way?  Your humble, docile submission allows Me free access to do what I will for you for your greatest good and My glory.  I am forming a beautiful masterpiece, a stupendous work of art.  Let Me work unhindered that I may display My handiwork in the heavenlies.

          If only you understood My ways … You would leap for joy at your weakness, for that is the point of My entry into your inner being.”

 

Lovingly Yours,

Jesus

          “The cry of the turtledove and the nest of the swallow – two images that conjure up the tenderness of God.  Only God could create the silky bird’s feathers.  They fly through the sky singing His praises.  They are so little, yet they constantly do the will of God.  What an example they are to rebellious mankind!

          Every one of My creatures was created to portray a facet of God’s love.  All of creation is a beautiful diamond, glittering with movement, changing, encircling, growing, dying – all in the circle of God’s never-changing love.

          Every bird is content to be a bird.  If only humans could be content to be what I have made them!  I have placed each soul exactly where I desire them to blossom and bring forth fruit.  Only in that sacred place will they flourish.  Yet men resist My plan, My will for their greatest beauty.  Lack of trust causes them to choose paths of their own making which lead them away from the peaceful paths I had prepared for them.

          Can you not understand that I am the infinite God, O men of earth?  If I created you from dust, cannot I sustain you?  Do you not realize that I am eternal, that I know your future and your eternal destiny?

          O, for loving and trustful children, for obedient and faithful friends – this is My glory!  Your loving smiles, your peaceful acceptance of all I bring into your lives, your docility to My inspirations, your faithfulness to duty – how lovely you are in My sight!  Little children of earth, those that know Me as Father, those that follow Me closely, I will make you giant pillars in the house of My God, for the lowly shall be exalted.

          My Father works and I work.  Let us work together to please Him.  His grace, His benevolent grace, will be your sure reward!”

          “My chosen people adore Me in spirit and in truth.  Though their bodies decay, their spirits are as youthful as a child’s.  “Man looketh on the outward appearance but God looketh on the heart.”  My little children surround My throne in obedient and loving service.  How I cherish them!  These children of Mine love Me with a pure and fervent heart.  How this consoles Me in a world that continually rejects Me!  My little ones charm My wounded heart.  They gather like little sheep, bleating out words of praise and thanksgiving.  I gather them all in My embrace.  I pour out My gifts and blessings upon them.

          They are irradiated by My presence among them.  They light up as the sun in a darkened place.  They fill My Tabernacle with a holy fragrance.  These are My chosen ones, those who have “made a covenant with Me by sacrifice,” the sacrifice of their lives for love of Me.  How I love these faithful souls!  Their fragrance pleases Me.  I shall dwell with them eternally.

          Holiness is invisible to the world.  It leaves behind a fragrant aroma, pleasing to the spirit’s senses.  It is a hidden, yet vital aura of light that surrounds and penetrates the atmosphere.  It is quiet and unobtrusive, beautiful and edifying.  It glows with an ethereal beauty, beyond human senses.

          Love is beautiful and it captivates all who come within its circle of life.  God’s love created all that exists, the heavens and the earth.  Love is God’s aura, His Essence.  God’s love is infinite.  Love is the ladder from heaven to earth.  The Holy Spirit is God’s tiara, God’s crown.  When the Holy Spirit penetrates and commingles with a heart, God’s love walks the earth in human form. 

          Be the Holy Tabernacle of Love I created you to be.  May your fragrance be diffused through all the earth.  God’s aroma will be as incense scattered to all.  What a beautiful spectacle!  You will be a grace diffuser.”

          “The light is streaming into your soul, My little one.  Graces produced through fidelity and the frequent reception of My sacraments are building a well that is gushing forth torrents of Living Water, proceeding from the throne of God.  I constantly and continually urge and exhort My children to come to Me to receive this Living Water available to all.  Instead, they remain dry and thirsty, searching through arid deserts, looking for wells that are dried up and useless to help them.

          To those who respond to My invitation to feast with Me, I pour out My glory rays.  They descend magnificently in streams of sparkling waters, filling the soul with My virtues, My radiance, My fruitfulness, My joy, and My illustrious beauty.  They become shining stars on earth, illuminating the darkness, beacons of light in the darkened ports of humanity, echoes of the joy of heaven, radiant sunbeams of hope to the oppressed.

          Why do you not come to Me, men of earth, when I hold all your joys in My wounded hands?  These hands, wounded for love of you, are always stretched out to you, longing to hold you, to help you, to establish you, to free you.

          Once again, it is your Jesus of mercy calling out to you:  Come to Me to be healed, to be set free, to be loved infinitely.  I am the great repose of your soul.  Rest in Me.

          To My faithful ones – I declare to you that because of your sweet communion that so ravishes My heart, I will pour out bucketfuls of My Living Water.  You will be drowned in My love.  What a sweet death!”

          “If My people will humble themselves and pray, I will heal their land.  In humble submission to My ordinances is your peace and prosperity as a nation.  The Lord does not save by a multitude.  He uses lone instruments of prayer to fight His battles.  Continue interceding for your nation.  The rebellious have come out in droves to oppose My laws.  They are vocal and vicious, yet it is in the silent and peaceful prayers of My holy ones that the enemy is defeated.

          Come before Me in great confidence that it is My will to heal your nation.  Come boldly to the throne of grace imploring for My protection and My watchcare.  I promised to save Sodom if I could find ten righteous souls.  I am willing to do the same for your nation if My chosen ones cry out to Me for the salvation of their children.

          Do not get discouraged, My chosen souls of diligent prayer.  I hear your sighs directed toward heaven.  I feel your sorrowful hearts.  Be confident that I am watching your nation with loving eyes.  Pray and sacrifice for your brothers and sisters living in utter blindness.  They desire to turn America into a pagan nation.  By your prayers, their plans will be defeated.  Look to Me for the victory.”

          “The divine mercy of Jesus is without end.  Forever he will keep souls in existence by His divine merciful love for them.  These are the jewels and the gems He has created to glorify Him forever, shining in radiant splendor throughout eternity.

          Light is diffusive.  It permeates, illuminates, and cleanses from impurity.  As you gaze on the light of Jesus, you become transparent and purified in the light of His love.  His radiance enraptures your soul.  His magnificence astounds and fascinates you.  He is the living fountain of water that never runs dry, but continually flows forth to quench man’s insatiable thirst.  Those whom the Holy Spirit has enlightened are transformed “from glory to glory.”  Their light begins to shine brighter and brighter with each passing day.  Their face is transformed into the gentleness of Jesus.  The world takes notice.  The darkness sees the light.  Souls are touched by an unseen power they do not understand.

 

          My souls, My children whom I have created for My glory, run to Me daily to embrace the Uncreated.  Though they do not see with bodily eyes, their spirits return to their Creator.  They know the Source of life in their inner being.  In quietness, they inherit the mind of Christ.  In fidelity, they are being chiseled into icons of grace, prepared by God to minister to others.  These are My precious children, those who have made a covenant with Me by sacrifice.  They sacrifice this earthly life for a kingdom they have never seen.  They sacrifice the pleasures of the world to sit alone in My company, the God they have never seen. 

          “Blessed are those who have not seen, yet believe.”  How I shower My graces upon them continuously!  They walk the path of life with Me at their side, sheltering and protecting them.  They hear My voice in their circumstances.  They love Me with My love, the love of the Holy Spirit residing in them.  They are My temples of love, radiating My light through the stained glass windows of their earthly bodies, the tabernacles I have furnished for them.  These moveable temples gracefully glide through the paths of earth, singing, rejoicing, praising, worshipping, and adoring the Most Holy God of Creation.  I furnish them with My gifts and graces.  They exist for the praise of God’s glory.  Hallelujah!”

          “My children are like flowers basking in My sunshine.  They sway in the breezes of My Spirit; they lift their heads to me for nourishment; they beautify the world with their vivid colors; they fragrance the air with the perfume of heaven.  Their delicate petals drop to the earth in sacrificial prayers and offerings for the souls of their brothers and sisters in the world.

          These tiny and delicate flowers change the world around them.  They truly blossom wherever they are planted, not striving to move anywhere else.  They are content to be icons of beauty wherever they are placed.  I gather these flowers for unique purposes.  Some I arrange into an artistic bouquet to place before My Father as a group.  Others I gather to store in cold cellars, waiting to display them as needed.  Some flowers, the most delicate, I handpick daily to set before Me that I might admire My handiwork.  They are pure, serene, fragrant, and lowly.  I love to dwell with them in retirement.

          Some of My flowers are wilted and bent over by the storms of life.  Others are hidden from the Sun by obstacles of their own making.  Some have lost their fragrance and their beauty has disappeared. They have not received the refreshing rain showers to revive their petals.  Without sun and rain, they cannot thrive.  They depend on their own resources to survive.  They do not acknowledge their Creator who provides for them.  It hurts Me to see their petals drop from the stem.  I have provided everything for their sustenance.

          My angelic messengers are the tenders of My earthly garden.  They cautiously guard My little plants from drought and disease.  So little known, they are rarely thanked or appreciated, but in their zealous love for God, they cheerfully guard and protect His garden.  Many, many times they are opposed and rejected, but like the tender Architect of the universe, their love compels them to forgive and to constantly pour forth more love and diligence to protect the beautiful flowers God has so lovingly planted.

          To My faithful flowers, diligently fervent and loving, you are My garden of delights where I love to take My walks of leisure.  To smell your fragrant perfume brightens My heart, so wounded by bitterness and rejection.  I am meek and lowly.  I thrive among the hidden flowers of humble beauty.”

 

Jesus, God’s Gardener
