I HAVE ASKED YOU TO ENDURE MANY THINGS

I have asked you to endure many things for My sake. This you have done even though
it grieved you greatly. I have asked you to be patient and await My word and My
direction as to the concerns of your life. This you have done bearing the losses in
your life and the indignities associated with these losses in silence. I have asked
you to eschew all thoughts relating to your present life and to focus constantly
on Me and My presence in your life. You have done so.

In so doing you have trained your will to exercise its power over your thoughts
and your feelings. Yet all still seems empty to you. It still feels as if all this were
done to no avail.

Take heart, My friend. Victory is at hand. Today I will show you the prize you have
won. You have not labored in vain. You have listened to My voice in your soul.
You have been faithful to Me. You will find I am ever so faithful to you.

Even now when all seems hollow and empty I am filling you with My wisdom and life.
You have scaled great heights. You have touched heaven by your faithfulness. You have
turned My Heart to look at you and to shower you with My Mercy and My love.

I tell you now that I am so close to you at this moment that we breathe redeeming
life together. Our hearts beat in unison. We are in perfect harmony. I know this is not
what you think. I know that this is not what you feel.

You feel empty and defeated. Yet, you know I am with you. You trust that I am faithful
to My promises to you. I have not put you through this desolation for naught.

My friend! Even in this dark moment you know you are not alone. My Most Holy Spirit
is with you restoring My life to your soul. Your faith has saved you once more. In blind
faith you have clung to Me. You do not know why. You do not know how. Yet you cling
to Me. You believe in your entire being that it is I, Jesus, who is speaking to you in these
moments before Me in adoration.

Look up at Me. In this solitary moment let Me tell you in no uncertain terms, your faith
has been right. You are relating to Me through My Most Holy Spirit. In this moment
I affirm you in your faithfulness to Me. You will soon learn I never forget My faithful
ones.

I know I have always pointed you to a future moment where all will be well. I tell you
now in this moment of silent desolation that all is indeed well.

My dear and faithful one, look around. We are totally alone. Are you not at peace?
Are you not alive? Do you not have hope in your heart? Why is this so? You have no
reason to hope yet you hope. You have no reason to live yet you look up at Me and
you feel peace. That is because you recognize that I am greater than what is pain
for you in your life.

You realize that I have the gift of eternal life. You realize that My infinite love transcends
all temporal, transitory events of your life. You realize that My grace sustains you in
all things.

It is I, Jesus, whose love endures when all else fails. It is I, Jesus, whose hope inspires
you to carry on in spite of events that carries despair on their backs.

I am the strength of your heart and soul.

It is I, Jesus, who takes your hand. I lead you through the destruction of your world.
I guide you safely home to Me each and every time the desolation of your life leads
you to a dead end.

I, Jesus, am life when all else calls for death. I, Jesus, am peace when all else calls
for war. I, Jesus, am joy when all else calls for sorrow. I am the Eternal Contradiction f
or My kingdom lives within you. As My world unfolds for you, you step through the mirror
of your life. You shatter all that is negative and bring salvation where there was death.

Know this well. I alone am eternal peace for you. I still the inner storm of your soul.
You ride the crest of tranquility when all else calls for panic and fear. You ride the crest
of inner strength and wisdom when all else cries out for fear and confusion.

My friend, I am your total life. I am your total way. I am your totality.

Now you have just received My True Presence in the Holy Eucharist. My grace touches
all that is within you. I transform you to new life. My love dries up all tears. It chases
away the rain in your heart. My warmth forever warms you. My wisdom defeats those
thoughts that lead you to doubt that what I say is true.

I arm you with My Eternal Truth. You now see life from My perspective. You understand
that when all else dies I live. These are not just words. This is My Eternal Truth stripped
of any other distraction.

I have the power that outlasts mortality. I have the strength that carries you beyond
this world to My eternity.

You have opened eternity through your faithful pursuit of Me. You have documented
in writing the walk from your world to Mine. This walk is dotted with destructive land
mine explosion craters. They mark the battles of your life.

Look back at the battles you have won. Today victory is yours. We are one for all eternity.

              I AM NOT PLAYING GAMES

I am not playing games in your head. I am trying to prepare you for what is to come.
As sure as the sun rises each morning, something definitely is to occur. I am coming
as sure as there is sunrise each day. I am coming.

When there is no sunrise you will know the time of grace for all mankind is at hand.
Then all that I have told you in the silence of your heart will make sense. Then you
will be overwhelmed by My power. My Most Holy Spirit will enable you to do My work
each day.

My time with you in this manner will be like buried treasure for you and many others.
The words I dictated to you will be a map for many to follow as they become purified
by My love.

I tell you now. Great things happen when I mix with your humanity. You will come
to know that all that I have told you is true. You will wonder at My blessings on you.
You will rejoice in My love for you and all mankind.

Trust Me. All is well. All is well.

   HOW PRECIOUS ARE OUR MOMENTS TOGETHER

How precious are our moments together. They are like snapshots in a time capsule.
Our souls meet, touch, share and renew. In this momentary exchange, I lift life’s
burdens from your heart.

I close your mind’s ability to focus on them. Then I fill your heart, mind, soul and will
with My Sanctifying grace. I know you feel the exchange. The deep inhaling of My Most
Holy Spirit brings life saving grace to your soul. 

Savor this moment. Let My love permeate all of you. Stop and drink from My cup of
salvation. It will refresh you for today. Drink from My cup. Let Me heal your damaged
heart. Let Me renew your sagging spirit. Let Me bring My life to your life. Let Me bless
you with My peace.

Treasure these life saving, life sustaining, life renewing moments. I replenish you. 
I enrich you. I enter into your world. I break down walls of resistance to My will. 
At your invitation I fill you up to overflowing. 

My dear friend, I am always here for you. Life in the world of man is filled with
pain and sorrow. Oh that it would be different! You face rejection, alienation, and
hostility as others seek to break you and take whatever joy there is from you.

I know what you are feeling. I also experienced this. Trust Me when I tell you I
can help you. The world of man is so very temporary. The things of man are
trinkets and tinker toys. In the end they amount to nothing.

I am the Resurrection. I am your light on the path to My world. I am the way,
the truth and the light. I know you’re read this and heard this before. Now I want
you to experience this.

Let go of the world of man and its empty rewards for success. Free yourself its
barren, lonely, meaningless life. Come to Me. I am alive. Experience Me. Feel Me.
Trust Me. I will lead you to My world of permanence. My world of forever!

What do you say?

   ARE YOU SURPRISED AT HOW PERSONAL I AM?

Are you surprised at how personal I am? Does it unnerve you to know I know you,
I understand you and I love you?

My friend, I created you! Before you were alive in your mother’s womb, I counted
all the hairs on your head. Do you not know who I am? Do you not realize that I am
fully alive?

Religion is not a fable. The bible is not just a collection of wise sayings and parables. 
My Real Presence in the Holy Eucharist is not a myth. How could it be? I created all
of this and more.

My Holy Spirit is alive and roaming the world seeking the salvation of souls. I do not
seek to punish and beat you into submission. I seek to love you to life, viz., My life.
I bring salvation to those who say “yes” to My Holy Spirit. This is not gibberish to be
scoffed at. This is a reality. This is genuine. I am real. I am alive. I want you!

There will come a defining moment or series of moments in your life when you will
come face-to-face, heart to heart, and soul-to-soul with Me. At that moment I will
ask you as I asked Peter, “Do you love Me?”

I will wait for your “yes”. I will not twist your arm. I will not put bamboo shoots
under your nails. I will wait for even the faintest sign of Yes. If you can’t speak, just
blink your eyelids. I will know because My Most Holy Spirit in searching your heart
will find a glimmer of hope through which He will shine His Light.

Then you will experience Me. Then you will feel My presence. My Most Holy Spirit will
seep into your soul through the cracks in the door to your heart. Then, even if you try
to close the door, not only the door, but also all the walls of resistance within you will
crumble. 

My love will win. Why? Because I am God! Because I love you! Because I have heard
your slight movement to Me. I know then that all the rest is history. Once I have touched
you, My friend, it’s all over but the shouting and rejoicing in heaven for a prodigal son/daughter
has returned home.

I ask you, no matter where you are in relationship with Me, can I come in? Can I get closer
to you? Do you dare to let Me in? What do you say?
