(Ponder)

You heard My Voice.

My Message for My People is very simple.

Love one another.

Do not hesitate to love one another.

Like, do you think that it is hesitation that keeps you from loving?

We do not hesitate to gossip, do we?  Yet we hesitate to love.

Funny, eh?

Yet, My Word says love one another as I have loved you.

Does your hesitation also infer that you may not feel that I love you as I say I do?

If you believed firmly that I Loved you, then you would have the strength from My Love to avoid not loving.

My Love for you frees you from sin.

Yet, if we do not let that fullness of My Love into your heart, then of course by your very nature you are prone to sin.

So I want you to remind your heart each moment of the day that I am offering you the Fullness of Love.

Do we not want to be sin free?

Well then, let’s work to this goal.

Do not let the excuse of your fallen nature weaken your resolve not to seek My Love daily, moment by moment.

If your fallen nature can lead you into sin, then whey can’t My Risen Nature lead you to Love more and more and more.

These are things I want you to contemplate if you say you want to follow Me.

If you are My follower, then you can give more credit to the strength of My Risen Nature to see you through. 

It is when we make ourselves the center that our fallen nature can dominate and lead us to sin.

Look first to Me for strength and guidance.

Do not give credit to your fallen nature for your poor behavior.

Realize that you did not seek Me, first.

We blame our fallen nature for our sinning without realizing that there are 2 parts to each of us, body and soul, and that one will lead us out of sin.

Stop relying on your body to get you through life and rely on your soul to lead you to the fullness of life.

Grow to be more conscious of the importance of your precious soul.  The strength and power it holds, and can be more strengthened with, when you ask Me to pour forth My Love.

Do you see why My Mother pondered things in Her Heart?  Because her head would have led her to sin.  Her heart would not.

Each one of you has the ability to do this you know.

So make use of this great Grace  --  to ponder in your heart instead of trying to figure it out in your head.

And usually figuring it out in your head leads to anger, hatred, meanness, unkindness, name calling.

You know what I mean, each of you.  When you ponder it in your heart it is surrounded by My Love which you have asked to dwell there and therefore it does not take on sinful characteristics.  It can only be seen through My Understanding and Wisdom.

So, seek your soul constantly for all your decisions, for clear guidance, for genuine Wisdom.

I will bless each and every effort you make in this regard.  You will lose a lot of weight – the weight of anger, the weight of gossip, the weight of feeling hurt, the weight of burdens too heavy to carry. 

Rest in Me each one of you.

Know that I Love you so much that I do not want you staggering around like some abandoned creature.

You have never been abandoned by Me.

In your mind’s eye you may have felt abandoned by others but never by Me.  That is My Golden Word to you.  My invaluable promise to you.  I have not and will not abandon you. 

I want to give you an example, Margo.  Here you are awake at 4am., and don’t want to be.  Yet you are thinking this out of your head, right, how to get back to sleep.

But, have you taken it to your soul and thanked Me for this time you are spending with Me?

Eeeegad says you!

But it is true and you know it.

Even while writing for Me you have been wondering when I will finish so you can try to go back to sleep.  At least you are being honest with Me from your head space.

Now, ponder these waking minutes in your soul.  They are to bring you closer and closer to Me.  While the world goes about its business, you and I are chatting.  How more personal can it get?

Everything that you see around you cannot do this for you.

Just you and I, only you and I can converse soul to soul. 

The inanimate objects which surround your space cannot do a thing for your soul.  They require you to move them, clean them, turn them around.

Be like them in My Hands.  Let Me turn you, clean you, set you apart or put you in the middle, dust you off, rearrange you.

Let go of you and let Me be so, so in charge.

Ponder how you can be as inanimate as the bed and yet serve Me!

Let Me give you purpose.  Do not seek your own purpose in life. 

I want to make you as obedient as the bed.  You will not be able to figure this out in your head.  You will have to take it to your soul and let My Love illuminate the True meaning.

You don’t have to think about it.  You have to take it to your heart as My Mother did, and let Me enlighten you from your soul.

Our Lady was not depending on herself to enlighten her, but on Her Son to enlighten her and that is why she took all to her heart/soul.

Now sleep and when I call again thank Me profusely for doing so, no matter where or when.

I love you.  I love each person My Father has created, abundantly and beyond.
