As a flower raises its face to the sun, I entreat you to turn to Me. As the dry earth soaks up a refreshing rain, I seek to pour My Blessings on you. I yearn to have you experience the depths of My Love and the
joy of My Presence. Only then, when the world sits in its proper place, and I become the center of your being, will you understand what I am saying to you.

Oh Child of My heart, how can I draw you even closer to Me? How can I describe to you your value, your worth, your very wonderful self.

Do not shrivel at your estimate of yourself, I judge more kindly and more accurately. Only see in Me a loving Creator who would have you turn in your darkest moment to the one who loves you above all others unconditionally.

Come, come, do not tarry, do not falter. My arms yearn to clasp you closer. Be at Peace.

Spring is a time of pruning. A time to strip away the old, the bent, the useless, the ugly branch that will bloom no more. The need for fruitfulness is evident. Too long, the tree has been neglected.
And so, My children, I give you this lesson that you might learn and heed My words.

Take stock of yourselves, now, while there is still time. Leave aside other cares and problems. They will return in due time. I ask you now to consider yourselves and the habits you have formed that seek to take you away from me. Let them fall from you as the dead limbs from the tree. The ugliness of resentment, anger at another’s good fortune you will find brittle. Cast it away, for it will support you no longer support you.

Spring is a time of renewal. I have shown it to you repeatedly. Look about you at the world of My creation. In the Spring, animals bring forth their young, leaves unfold on tree and shrubs, buds open to the warmth of the sun thus I would have you, My finest creation, be reborn. Let your hearts unfold, bare your souls to the sun of My warming grace. Join in renewal. Be glad to be reborn. Thank Me for extending to you another chance to rebuild yourselves, refresh your spirit.

Yes, Spring is time to prune, be not afraid. New growth springs forth on scars of the old and bears a much sweeter fruit. Old wounds heal and are forgotten in the new beauty I allow to appear.

Spring is a time of pruning. Listen to the voice of Your Lord. Now is the time to renew.

We speak of many things, dear Child. We talk at length and you appear to listen but later I find that you heard only what you wished, only what was acceptable.

When I tell you My plans and ask you to consider, why do you hesitate? Have I ever led you astray or abandoned you in your need? Yet, you maintain a certain level of fear, as if it marked you as some martyr to a cause. Look at yourself with a critical eye and tell Me if I have misjudged you.

Do you like the answer? If not, change it today, this very minute.

I am here to help you.

Many and varied are the flags of different nations. Colorful banners with intricate designs, fly proudly. They signify the power of each country, a beacon to impress and encourage in time of trouble. Yet,
My Kingdom, the dwelling place of My People, has no pennant, no piece of material that denotes the Believer, for, My people are not bound by geography, confinement of space or nationality.

My People are all peoples and I search out and serve each one according to their needs.

How could one possibly display the marks of My Dominion? Would it picture hands stretched out to feed, heal and uplift or show  Justice for all and a Heart who’s fire glows with overwhelming Love?

The material is necessary indeed, but the spiritual is the Life-giving nourishment that sustains forever.

You who are My Followers are My greatest display, My Symbol of Power and Glory. Feel not overcome or suppressed, for in you lie the  seeds of victory. You are My banners and I gaze on you lovingly as you do My Will.

Every breath of your life I am with you. As day breaks I accompany you, and as night falls I stand beside you ready to guide and protect. At No time are you Vulnerable or without My strength and love.

Yet how many are aware of My Presence, or even care? Too few, too few. You anticipate holidays, reasons to celebrate, occasions to commemerate and that is as it should be. But what of the time to reflect and realize? I have been the donor of these instances And you the receiver!

Never have you, of your intelligence engineered your progress. Through My Grace, from birth to death, it was My gifts to you that were the accomplishments. What, oh man, have you created that first did not come from Me?

Yet you sit in contentment, satisfied with yourselves, complacent and unthinking. Is it only when disaster strikes you hurry to contact Me, as for help and freedom?

It is always there for those who truly know Me. Those whose quiet, unassuming lives seem of little worth in the eyes of the World. Ah, to have the wisdom of these children. The little ones, unknown, unsung and content to be so. Their focus entirely upon their relationship with Me. I have given them a treasure of immeasurable worth, a closeness
and joining with their God.

It is not too late to alter your way of life, to come back to center, to again capture the innocence of children and discover where true happiness lies.

Walk with me. I long for your company.

Just Listen. Forget Self and answers, questions, Just Listen. Leave an empty spot, untraveled by the world, surroundings, Fears and Joys, Make a Vacant place within, then listen!

No loud voice will magically be heard, no sound of trumpets, adulation, pomp or ceremony. Only Silence, and I urge you, LISTEN.

I speak to your Spirit and we need no words, only our thoughts coming together, only the love that will radiate, fill you to the brim and overflowing, and you will remember this sensation forever!

But you must release Self and let all that is familiar float away slowly, as a cloud in the sky. Guided by My hand you will receive the direction I would have you follow.

No two alike, all equal, all dear, all of value in My Sight.

We are meant to enrich each other but it is impossible unless we cast away early obstacles and seek the Spiritual, which is the actual source of Being.

You have all the time you are willing to devote, there is no deadline, no cut-off period.

But you must Listen, not seek worldly answers.

LISTEN

Are you too busy crying out to listen? So engrossed in your needs, your suffering, your plight, that you cannot hear My answer?

I am the Listener, but when you erect walls of tension and despair and discouragement between us I must take time to tear them down.

We will remain apart only as long as your stubborn will desires.

When you can say, in all truthfulness and sincerity, “Lord, I am powerless but I do trust, I do believe”, that way you seek will be opened to you.

I love you and I have a deep knowledge of what fogs your mind and clear thinking, but releasing your concerns to My care will make your journey much shorter and easier.

I long to gather you close as a parent, to comfort, soothe and guard you ever.

In My Presence is your Peace.

In the darkest night of your soul, I am the Lamp that lights the Way. In the quietest time of night, I am the peace that comforts you. I accompany you, though many times you ignore My Presence and turn your  back, as if not seeing Me. I cannot see you.

For what purpose. With each breath you take, with each moment of every day, I remain beside you. For this, give thanks. You cannot know the times I have guided you away from the pit of destruction, have turned you aside from perils completely not thought of.

I am constant, and you? I am faithful, where does your allegiance lie?

Resist, I implore you. Resist the World and its cunning attempts to ensnare, its false Images and promises.

Life is not easy and only those aware of Me and My support over come all barriers and reach the pinnacle of Joy in My Kingdom.

The road ahead has so many twists and turns and danger if you lose sight of My form and the shelter I afford.

Strive then, My Child. I delight in your perseverance and reward richly your Faith and Trust.

Let Me make of you what I will. Do not try to establish your own  status and position in The World. Seldom does one choose what is best, what will satisfy and sustain, in times of strife.

Only be pliant and ready, eager to submit to My Wishes. Curry not the ­­­­0the Moment in which you live and breathe. That alone is a blessing and a proof of My Love for you.

I give in many ways. You may see nothing but hopelessness in the direction I guide you. Yet, if Faith is in your heart and you trust blindly, it will become focused and clear and doubt will vanish.

I am the Creator, I chose the Sky, the mountains, the oceans and the Earth and still direct each function. Do not labor so to form yourself into what YOU perceive as desirable and satisfactory.

Only relax, have trust and wait on My Word. It will be given to you, if only you will listen.

When the Journey seems long and all up hill, think of the view when you reach the top. When hours of labor seem never to end or produce anything of value, remember that I, too, walked a painfilled solitary path. Concentrate not on your discomfort but instead visualize the end result, a joining with One who awaits you in joyful expectation.

Count not your steps, whether many or few, I will supply your needs. Has there ever been a time when I did not heed your cry and minister to you?

Take heart, many others call out as you do and they, too, will reach the summit. To some the way seems smooth and without difficulty, while you struggle and agonize over each bend in the road, but all the sweeter the victory when you arrive at the peak and glance down at the obstacles you have overcome.

Be assured then, in your darkest moments of despair, I am the One who awaits you. Take heart then and journey on, your reward awaits you.
