JESUS

“My children, your work stretches out before you. How many serve? How many resist My will for them? When you consider others who do not seem to be serving Me, I want you to turn your face away. I want you to consider only My will for you in a given moment. This will protect you from many temptations. You can answer Me with simplicity when I ask you at the end of the day, “Have you served Me well today? ”You can simply say, “Yes, Lord. I have done My best.” Then you can lay down your worries and rest. Beloved apostles of God, do not be distracted by others. I know this is hard for you. I know that others can cause you upset. But if you consider how I have asked you to experience others, you will do better. I want you to view those around you as pilgrims journeying toward Me. That is what you are, after all. Can you deny others the need to move gradually to perfection when you, yourself are doing the same? You are involved in a process which means that you remain imperfect. Why would it be different for those around you? You have come to trust My loving compassion, My forgiveness and My uninterrupted affection. That is because you have come to know Me. If others do not know Me as well as you do, they will trust Me less. If they trust Me less, they will experience fear and this will cause them difficulty which moves out from the fear to greater and greater pain. If My apostles will accept that fear of being unloved is the source of great pain for others, My apostles will view the mistakes of others with compassion, as I do. Yes, the pain of humanity can only be remedied by loving compassion. This is why you are sent out by Me. You move into the world with heaven’s healing compassion. My apostles, perhaps you do not feel this compassion from others. Perhaps you feel that you are in need of compassion and find only condemnation. I make two remarks about this. One, please be willing to ask for understanding from other holy apostles and then accept what they offer to you in humility. Next, ask Me if I am judging you. Ask Me if I view you harshly. You know that I do not. I am pleased with whatever you offer Me in terms of fidelity and service. I am pleased with whatever you give to Me in terms of prayer and silence. I work so well in your little soul when you allow Me. I feel the greatest compassion for you. I am happy with your efforts to be holy and to love those around you. I rejoice in you. I rejoice in your commitment to Me. I urge you today in the most serious way to trust Me and trust in My plan for you.”

Blessed Virgin Mary – “If you hasten to your conversion out of fear for what the future may hold, you are accomplishing very little…”

Mary, Refuge of Holy Love says:

“Praise be to Jesus.”

“If you hasten to your conversion out of fear for what the future may hold, you are accomplishing very little. In Holy Love, your conversion needs to be based upon love of God above all else and your neighbor as yourself. This needs to be the governance of the converted heart in every present moment. All that detracts from this goal is from the enemy.”

“Allow your hearts to fully participate in a perfect conversion. It is in this way, you can assist others along the same path.”

JESUS at adoration

“Scripture has it: Fear is useless. What is needed is trust. Greed and self love lead to self destruction. For what does it merit a man to gain the whole world, but lose his soul?”

“Allow Me to tell you the only preparation you need: the only provision to lay up of value is Holy Love in your heart. Everything else is superficial and passing.”

“The time approaches when you cannot live for self alone. Each one will depend on the other for something. You will need to be steeped in Holy Love to share what provision you have with those around you. Let every motive of action be Holy Love. Do not cling to the world as though it is your salvation. Cling to Holy Love. Then, any provision you share out of love will bring you everlasting joy.”

“You cannot run or hide from the day it is written you will come to Me. I can find you. I know you. I see all things. I love you. So do not fear Me. I know what you need and when you need it. Learn to think not in the natural, but rely on grace. I am fortifying My remnant. These are already chosen.”

“I confide all of this to you with Divine Love – Divine Mercy. Believe in Me.”

JESUS

“Dear apostles, I want you to know joy. Eternal joy will be yours in heaven, of course, but I want you to know joy now, during your time of service. If you do as I say, as I am asking you, this heavenly joy will become more and more available to you and you will share this joy more and more freely. You will be a true representative of heaven in your joy and others will be attracted to the heaven that you represent. I want you to believe Me when I tell you that you can trust Me. If you could not trust Me, dear apostles, why would you continue to follow Me? The answer is that you can trust Me, of course, or you would fall away as others have fallen away. You do trust Me. You rely on Me and you are safe with Me. You have made a wise decision by putting yourself into My care. It is always the best decision to rely on the One who loves you perfectly and holds, in His heart, the perfect plan for your time on earth. Why would you let fear diminish your joy? Why would you let anxiety for yourself or others eradicate the joy that is available to you in the present moment? My dearest apostles, you live in the present, not the future. If the present is difficult, I am there. If the future becomes difficult, I will be there, too. You will not be abandoned and your loved ones will not be abandoned. Ultimately, the greater the trust in Me, the greater the joy in each moment. I want you to abandon fear. I want you to cast yourself into the providence that surrounds you. Fear is a snare for you or I would not treat it so seriously. Ask Me now for greater trust and I will give it to you. Ask Me now for greater joy and I will give that to you, also. It is important that others see in you an accurate reflection of the graces heaven makes available to apostles. Do not hide these graces away. Let these graces flow out from you to those around you. Share what is good, dear apostles, not what is bad. Share what comes from Me and you will help to draw others back into our family. I am telling you that I have greater graces available to you so make Me happy and ask for these graces. You will be blessed with all that you need and joy will be yours. Be at peace. I will never abandon you.”

JESUS

My heart never stops loving and not for a moment does My heart stop craving love in return. I crave love from you, My dear apostle. You love Me, I know. You serve Me with steadiness, I know. ‘What is it that Jesus wants from Me that I am not giving’, you ask. I will tell you. I want you to show Me that you understand My love for you by trusting Me. I am hurt when you do not trust Me. Look at your time of service. Would you agree that I have provided you with everything you need to see to your part in My plan? Would you agree that I have given you consolation when you were afraid? Have I not guided you when you were unsure? What have I withheld from you? You are growing in holiness and I am answering your prayers for your loved ones with heavenly prudence and steadiness. The part you are called to play in My plan is important and I need your service but I would never ask you to serve to the detriment of your holiness. If you are not increasing in holiness, My dear apostle, it is because you are not allowing Me to direct you. Perhaps you are increasing but not as quickly as you would like. That is another matter altogether. It is for Me to decide how quickly to advance you. It is for you to cooperate. I am speaking today so that I can urge you forward. My apostles must be willing to benefit from the guidance I am sending. You must sit in silence with Me each day, asking Me where you can improve in holiness. What habits are you holding on to that you need to relinquish? What new habits should replace them? Apostles, it is not to stand still that you are called, but to move forward in holiness. This advance is necessary for these times or I would not be calling you to it so seriously. I am looking for you to change. I want you to grow. Many of you are saintly now, walking closely with Me in each day. I rejoice in you, it is true. You know that I do. And yet, I allow you to remain on earth, to work, yes, but also to become even holier. One of the ways you can become holy in a short time is by trusting Me in everything. A small child does not worry about one meal shortly after she has been fed another. She trusts her parents to provide for her, particularly if she has never gone hungry. You, dear apostles, have never been without My providence so there is no reason for you to fear. You can trust Me. I have proved this to you many times. I desire that you serve in joy and confidence and only through trusting Me will that be possible. Return My great love for you by trusting Me in everything.

Surrender to Me the discouragement from any cross or fear of the future

October 25, 2015

“I am your Jesus, born Incarnate.”

“I am in your heart and you are in Mine. I tell you, do not take from any cross discouragement or fear of the future. Rather, let each cross encourage trust in My Provision. Then it is easy to surrender to My Father’s Divine Will for you. I prescribe this course of action for each soul, for certainly it is the evil one who promotes fear in the heart.”

“When you surrender to Me, I surrender to you – holding back no present moment grace. If souls could grasp this Truth, there would be no renunciation of good in favor of evil. Souls would try to please Me for the sake of Holy Love and you would have no crime, terrorism or ambition in the world. The heart of the world would not be self-seeking but would allow My Father’s Will to take up domain as it should.”

“How far the heart of the world is from this.”
