Jesus
We are a faith of waiting. You wait for Me to return to
the world and I wait for souls to return to Me. You feel
a longing for Me and for goodness that causes you pain
at times. I feel a similar longing for souls in the
world who have rejected Me and so suffer the pain of
separation from Me. How they hurt. How their wounds
disturb them and cause them to hurt others. My heart
sighs with loneliness for them. I ache to comfort them
and console them. I long to heal their wounds. You, My
beloved apostles, comfort Me in this grief by sharing
this experience with Me. I am comforted by your fidelity
to Me which is reflected in your fidelity to the cause
of your brothers and sisters. As I wait, so do you wait
and as I suffer, so do you suffer. I speak to you today,
though, to remind you of something. As I rejoice, so
should you rejoice. Rejoice with Me at the return of
many souls just as perhaps others rejoiced at your
return. Rejoice with Me at the healing of many souls,
just as perhaps others rejoiced at your healing. You
will rejoice that others return to Me through your
consistent and humble service. We are a faith of
waiting, it is true, but we are also a faith of
rejoicing. The Father’s goodness spreads out over the
earth in this time in waves of kindness and benevolence.
You, My beloved apostles, gently push these waves out
with your commitment to My service. The great mercy of
the Father draws souls to My heart, the heart that burns
steadily, a furnace of divine compassion and love. We
are waiting, yes. But while we are waiting, we are
preparing. You prepare to receive your King and I
prepare to receive the fruits of your service. Be at
peace, My beloved friends. We serve together, we suffer
together, and we rejoice together. Be assured that you
are loved and that your loneliness is temporary. I am
returning.

My beloved apostle, I understand your struggles. You are
becoming holier and yet you do not think you are making
progress. Dear one, can you accept that the holier you
become, the more holiness you crave? Can you accept that
the more you become aware of your own flaws, the more
willing you are to accept flaws in others? I am at peace
that you are coming to know Me better. Each day brings
growth of some kind for you, even if that growth
originates in mistakes acknowledged and corrected. I
understand you, dear apostle. I know that on some days
you are ready for the battle of holiness and that on
some days you feel you are not strong enough for the
battle. This is what I want to tell you. You rise each
day and pledge your allegiance to the Father. This
commitment of your day insures that your Father takes
you each day in the condition He finds you. Each
weakness is used to increase your humility and
illuminate for you the path to transformation. Do not
become discouraged by the need for improvement. If you
but continue on the path you have embarked upon, you
will experience greater holiness. It can be no other way
because those who pledge allegiance to the Father are
cared for in every detail. Our greatest goal for you is
holiness because only in holiness will you find peace
and joy. Look around you. How many have committed
themselves to holiness as you have committed yourself to
holiness? If you look at others, you will see that the
Saviour can count only a few as His committed apostles.
And yet, every person, regardless of their condition,
longs for the holiness you seek, even if their longing
is denied and ignored. My heart is moved to such pity
for those who do not seek Me. Let your heart also be
moved to pity. Show constant compassion, never
judgement, to those who do not understand what they
lack. I am trying to show you, My beloved apostle, that
you have begun a journey that must be taken by each
person who will spend eternity in the family of God. If
others delay the journey, that is their affair. My
beloved apostles understand that this journey, the
journey to holiness, is the most important journey they
will ever take. This is your first priority, My friends.
Continue to make your pledge and I will see to it that
you become holier.

Jesus
My beloved
apostles, please be alert to My will. At no time should
you fear that I do not have a perfect plan for you.
Sometimes you make decisions that are not consistent
with My plan. Sometimes these decisions cause you pain
and cause others pain. It is most especially at these
times that you should seek Me because I will adapt My
plan for you to fit your present circumstances. I am
always seeking to bring you closer to Me, never more so
than when you believe you have left the path through
temptation or sin. When should you believe that you are
on your own? Never. In which circumstances will My heart
be so hardened that I will refuse to rush in with
forgiveness and grace and an alternative plan for you?
Such circumstances do not exist. My dearest little
apostles, be assured of My willingness to work with you
in each moment, regardless of your condition in that
moment. In humanity, there are moments of such holiness
that even heaven stops to marvel. In humanity, there are
also moments of weakness and cruelty. Please believe
that heaven takes the bad with the good and moves each
willing soul toward greater and greater good. Heaven
draws you away from temptation and away from the pain of
sin. I am good, My friends, as My Father is good. You,
My beloved apostles, are called to resemble Me and be
good also. You strive for this, I know. Today I ask that
each apostle consider that I treated others with
kindness. I have instructed you about gentleness and
today I instruct you about kindness. Little apostles,
the hearts of others are easily wounded. Can you
remember when someone treated you unkindly? Do you
remember your pain? I was treated unkindly at times and
My heart felt this same pain. We do not want this for
others. We want others to understand that God loves them
and you, My friends, will do that when you treat them
with the kindness of the Father. I will help you if you
allow Me. I will teach you to remain silent in the
presence of other’s faults and I will teach you to speak
openly about their strengths. Pause again and try to
think of a kindness that was shown to you. Do you
remember how you felt at that time? You felt grateful,
did you not? You felt steadied. I want to flow through
you to others. You will allow Me to do so if you work
each day on being kind to each person you encounter.
Their pain will lessen because of your kindness. The
pain of the whole world will be reduced if each of My
beloved apostles learns to be kind. Begin by being kind
to yourself. I accept you, My friend. You must accept
yourself. Be at peace in My love for you. I do not give
you an instruction without also giving you the grace to
carry it out so now I will teach you about kindness.

Jesus
Dear apostles, I
send you a spirit of gentleness. Because you are called
to treat others as I treated others, you are called to
be gentle with all those around you. This call to
gentleness in no way diminishes the call to live in the
truth. If you preach the truth as I did, gently, you
will draw others to us and to unity of thought and
action. In this time, when it is so important that souls
be brought back into the family of God, we must be ever
so careful to be gentle with others in each interaction.
I am Jesus. I am filled with love for each soul you
encounter, regardless of their condition. View each
person through My love and treat them with My
gentleness. My dearest apostle, in order to allow
yourself to heal from any wounds you yourself suffer,
you must allow Me to minister to you. I am tender
hearted with your failings. Remember this and do not
turn away from Me when you feel you have failed. If you
do not allow Me to minister to you during periods of
unrest, you will be vulnerable to the distortions which
can be sown by the enemy. Apostles walking with Me
inspire hope in the world. This is the plan. But My
friends must remember that apostles walking with Me also
inspire fear in the enemy. The enemy’s fear causes him
to lash out at the friends of the Returning King. Be at
peace in this as it has always been this way and there
is no reason for anything but confidence in My plan for
each day of every life. At the same time, be prepared to
do battle for your holiness as I did battle. If you
remain with Me, the battles will make you stronger and
holier. That is My goal. Accept the gentle ministrations
of your Saviour in silence and you will then be an able
carrier of this gentleness to others. Beloved friends,
so loyal to your God, you will stand out if you are
gentle and it is this that I need from you. I need you
to stand out as calm and gentle representatives of the
different way. The world will remember you for your
gentleness if you allow Me to teach you. You are not
called to change the world. I am called to change the
world. You are called to represent Me accurately so that
I have the opportunity with each soul you encounter.
Through your love, your kindness and your gentleness,
you will create heavenly opportunities for Me in the
people around you. I will never miss an opportunity, I
promise you. I make the best possible use of your
efforts. I thank you, dear friend. Your fidelity to the
Father will not be forgotten.

Jesus
A small child often
prays that God will help him to be good. This prayer is
pleasing to God. Indeed, which prayer is more pleasing?
A child prays this prayer in humility and simplicity
from a pure heart seeking even greater purity. It is
this purity of heart that all apostles must seek. Each
day should be filled with brief prayers of this kind. If
an apostle wishes to reside with the Father, that
apostle must become the child of the Father. God has no
equal. Do not seek greatness. Seek goodness. My beloved
ones, you know that I love you and that I am grateful
for your service. You know that I am pleased with your
progress. Do you wonder why your Jesus calls you
constantly further into holiness? Do I do this for My
benefit? Yes. I do. I take great joy in seeing you
advance, it is true. And yet, it is for your own
personal benefit, also, that I call you to strive for
higher heights. I want you to become as holy as you can.
As your holiness increases, my friends, so does your
peace. As your peace increases, so does the peace in
this world. It is for many reasons, all similar to
these, that I beckon you to come further and further
into My heart. You are called to come closer to Me and
move further from distractions. You turn your face
toward heaven and in doing so you turn your face away
from the world, which seeks to draw you away from Me.
For today, pledge your allegiance to the Father and then
strive to become holier. “Father, help me to be good.”
In each moment of your life there is an opportunity for
goodness. Find the opportunities and try. Exert
yourself, my beloved ones. Work for your holiness. If
you were participating in a game, you would try to win.
I want you to participate in your movement to holiness.
I want you to make efforts throughout each day to choose
the holiest course. I am with you in each moment,
helping you. If you, my beloved apostles, will work with
Me to become holier, I can reach others through you. But
that is My affair. Your affair is to try to become as
holy as possible. Have no fear. You are loved.

Jesus
I am with you. How often I repeat this.
I, Jesus, am with you. I, Jesus, will never leave you. I
see everything that occurs in your life. I understand
exactly where your pain originates. Like nobody else, I
understand you. Much of the suffering my little ones
experience is from loneliness. Even if you are
surrounded by others, you can feel lonely. You see, dear
apostles, each person feels alone until he rests with
Me. It is only after becoming united to Me that you can
love each other as you were intended to love each other.
There are many who do not allow unity with Me. I cannot
force Myself upon them, because they are free to reject
Me. But because they reject Me, they cannot love others
as they were intended to love others. Others, sadly,
remain unloved. Others become wounded. Others strike out
in their pain, causing more distress. Humanity was
created to live on earth connected to God. My apostles,
even though you struggle, you remain connected to Me. I
am able to heal you and send love through you. The signs
of My presence are all around you, even though you
struggle. Believe this. If you look at a person who has
rejected Me, you will see signs of that rejection. If
you look at a world that has rejected Me, you will also
see signs. My beloved ones, when you see signs that God
has been rejected, you must remain peaceful. I, Jesus,
have told you that change is necessary. I, Jesus, have
told you that I desire change. I do not abandon you and
I do not abandon the world. I have many friends in this
world and you are among them. You trust Me, I know. I
will honour the trust you have placed in Me. I will
bring all things to the good, both in your life and in
the world. I, the Blameless One, have never betrayed
another and I will not betray you. Think often on the
promises I have made to you. I have said I will never
leave you. I have said I will protect My interests in
your soul. I have said I will pursue conversion of your
loved ones. During this time, I want each apostle to
consider these promises. Serve Me in steadiness, of
course, but also, serve Me in peace. Dear apostles, you
are connected to Me. You accept My love. You know that
just as I cherish you, I cherish all others. My dear
friends, please live these truths because others are
looking to you for example. Please. Give an example of
joyful trust. I need this from you so that I can draw
hurting souls back to Me. I am with you. I will help you
to do this.

Heavenly consideration is the compass
which will insure a true course for each apostle. In
every situation, consider heaven’s goals for you and for
those around you. The apostle who gives thoughtful
consideration to heaven’s goals will be known for
speaking less, rather than more. This apostle will make
decisions in My company, aware of My goals. I would ask
each of My apostles to practice this today. Move into
your day gently, aware that I may wish to adjust your
course several times. You expect one thing, perhaps. But
I, your Jesus, may need something else from you. You are
committed to a certain plan, perhaps. But I your Jesus,
may have chosen a different plan altogether. Only with
thoughtful consideration will you be alert to My will in
each situation. Apostles, you have been prepared to
serve in the manner that I require you to serve. You
have been taught many things about holiness. If you are
humble, you are aware that there are many things still
to be learned about holiness. If you are humble, you may
protest, saying, “Jesus, I am not ready. I must become
holier still.” I understand your weaknesses and
struggles. I do not fear the limits of your humanity. I
have factored your weaknesses into the plan I have for
you. You should never be afraid that you lack the
holiness to complete the mission that I have willed for
you. I will make you holy if you proceed according to My
directions. You shall have all you need. Please begin to
use all that you have been taught. Begin to see others
as I see others, in need of love and tolerance. You have
been taught not to make judgements. Do not make
judgements. You have been taught to spend time in
silence. Spend time in silence. You have been taught to
trust Me. Trust in Me now, today. You have been taught
not to be afraid of the future. Do not fear the future.
Dear apostles, you have been taught to pray. Pray. Now,
today, every day. Pray. Ask Me for mercy for this world.
Ask Me for conversion graces for this world. Ask Me for
the Spirit of truth in such an abundance that all eyes
will be opened to God’s truth. My beloved faithful
apostles, I want you to use everything you have been
given to serve Me so that others may be saved. I am with
you. I will direct you in each moment. You must be at
peace so that others can learn about peace. You must be
calm so that others can learn about calm. Do not
underestimate the power of setting an example of
heavenly consideration. It is this consideration in each
apostle that will ultimately allow Me to reclaim a
multitude of souls for the Father.

Jesus
My apostles, I
speak to you with such hope. Why do I feel hope when I
speak these words? I, your Jesus, feel hope because you
are reading these words and listening to Me. In your
soul, you are interested in My plan. In your soul you
are willing to make the changes which will bring about
My plan. In your soul you receive a foretaste of heaven
which provides you with the joy that I wish to make
available to others. My heavenly plan is truly rooted in
your soul and for this reason I have hope. The times in
which you live provide you with opportunities to
practice hope, even while much of the world feels dismay
and fear. My apostles see that the world is changing and
this is the message, a message of hope, which flows
through them. You are precious to Me, both because of
the unique love I have for you and for the unique plan I
have for you. Allow Me to rest in your soul each day and
I will fill you with My love. Where can you find more
silence? How can you give your Jesus just a few more
minutes of time to be with you and sanctify you even
further? My beloved apostle, please be disciplined about
your time with Me in each day. I do not want you to be
distracted. I do not want the world to take your hope
from you. If you do not spend time with Me, you are
vulnerable to the fears sowed by the enemy of hope. I
rely on my beloved ones. In them I find rest and solace.
You see, dear apostle, if I can change you and fill you
with My great spiritual blessings, I can change others.
Is there even one life that you can say you affected by
your faith in Me and by My presence in you? Do not limit
My plan in your mind. My plan is vast and it is working.
Be joyful today as I am joyful. Hope in Me, dear one, as
I hope in you. Trust in Me as I trust in you. Be with Me
as I long to be with you and together we will fill the
world with hope, drawing many wounded souls back into
our family of love.

Jesus
My beloved apostles rest in My heart each time they
pray. Truly, when you come to Me, I am there. There are
times when you feel abandoned as I felt abandoned. I
allow this so that you can share My experience. In this
way, by sharing My experience of abandonment, you come
to know Me more completely. Through this intimacy you
become more like Me. My dear ones, it is through sharing
My experiences that you learn to love others who carry
crosses. There are times when your humanity leads you to
judge another but because you have suffered, you offer
compassion instead of condemnation. Each experience in
your life, shared with Me, increases your holiness and
your capacity for compassion. Think of the times when
someone treated you with compassion when you expected
condemnation. Think of the times in your life when
someone treated you with kindness and support,
overlooking a failure or a flaw. My friends, you do not
always understand but it is the crosses you carry that
enhance these heavenly capabilities in your soul. I know
you struggle. I accept your weaknesses. Do not think
that your anguish is a measure of your holiness. Do not
think that because you find your cross heavy, you are
not making progress. I am with you and I am advancing
you, even while you groan with weariness. The Kingdom
will make the best possible use of the inevitable
suffering that accompanies your humanity. Your decision
to serve is all that is necessary to draw graces for
others from your life. Be at peace that I understand
your suffering and your movement to holiness. I am with
you in each moment. I take the greatest joy in accepting
your suffering and rewarding it with heavenly gains,
both in your soul and in the world. You are My beloved
ones. You are My chosen ones. The greatest care is taken
with each of your little souls. Your progress is
apparent from My vantage point. You must trust Me and
allow Me to access others through you. Think back on our
walk together. Think of the great graces I have flowed
through you in the past. This flow of grace is
increasing by the moment and is not dependant on your
perfection but on My perfection. My presence in your
soul brings a perfume into the world that is
irreplaceable. I need you. Our unity, yours and Mine,
brings unique benefits to the Kingdom. Yes, you are
important to Me and to your heavenly family. Rest
against your Jesus now as I send you courage and
strength and heavenly calm.
March 1, 2007
Jesus
My beloved
apostles, how hard you are working. How diligently you
see to My desires. I am bringing you to holiness, slowly
and gently, but certainly. Your course leads you to My
heart and in each moment of each day, you are drawn more
fully to Me. You may not feel the increase in holiness.
You may not notice your progress but be assured that
progress is being made. Your holiness blossoms under the
prudent and watchful care of the Divine Gardner. You may
wish to advance more quickly. You may sigh at the
labours necessary for advancing in holiness. I
understand both of these things but I tell you today
that you should not be discouraged. It is I, Jesus,
after all, who contemplates your soul and determines the
speed with which you need to progress to arrive at the
perfect place at the correct time. If you were to move
too quickly, you might miss this mark. If you were to
stop labouring, you would not advance as far as I
require. Be at peace in the place where you are
spiritually and understand that I am ministering to you
constantly there. Be also at peace that you must labour
for holiness, moving constantly forward in virtue. I am
with you. I take your willingness to serve and your
willingness to become holier and truly I flow great
things into your soul and into the world. I ask that
each apostle find quiet during this time, allowing
silence to prune the weeds that spring up in each day’s
activity. We work together on your soul, as I have said,
and I, Jesus, expect that there is work to be done. If I
did not expect that your soul needed work, I would say
that you had advanced far enough and I would take you to
heaven. When you see the condition of your soul and you
correctly identify that there is work to be done and
projects to undertake, rejoice. Compare your soul to My
soul and you will see a glimpse of the completion of
this project. You must say, ‘Truly, I trust that Jesus
will get me there if I follow Him.’ I will not abandon
the project of your holiness. Neither should you. The
personal holiness of each apostle is given my greatest
attention because each project in the world flows from
this project in individual souls. Do you understand? Are
you at peace with this? I need you to become holier each
day so that I can become more present in the world each
day. If you are new to the walk to holiness, rejoice.
You are welcome and you will flourish. If you have been
walking toward holiness for many years, rejoice. You are
valued and you are making progress. Through you, I renew
the world. Rejoice. My plan for you and for the world is
well underway.
February 1, 2007
Jesus
My little apostles
continue to grow in holiness. Today, I call you to
obedience. It is My desire that you examine your life
and bring obedience into each area. I will help you. Is
there an area where you can improve? Do you wish Me to
illuminate this for you? Consider with Me, your Saviour,
where you can do better. There are concrete areas, of
course, but there are also areas where it is the spirit
of obedience that is lacking and by this I mean the
spirit of love and humility. Do not think so much of the
condition of other souls. Concentrate instead on the
condition of your own soul. In consideration of
obedience, it is good to think like a small child. A
small child, one who is loved by his parents, seeks to
be good and pleasing. His goodness and small acts of
obedience enable him to feel good about himself and the
path of purity that he is choosing. Some of my little
ones in the world have lost this innocence. I want this
for you. It is this innocence that will admit you to
heaven, after all. Together we must cultivate it.
Separate worldly opinion from My opinion because the
world will tell you that you are foolish to be obedient
in small matters, for example, if nobody is noticing
you. But I am always with you and I notice you in each
moment. Look at each situation, regardless of how
seemingly unimportant, and try to be obedient. You do
not do this alone, but with Me, because together we work
on your spiritual growth. It is our job, yours and mine.
It is our project. It is an interesting and joyful
project to Me. I love nothing better than helping you
to improve the condition of your soul. As your soul’s
condition improves, you learn more and more about Me and
how much I love you. Do you want to learn more about how
much I love you? Practice obedience in small things. I
do not expect you to become perfect at once. Do not
expect this of yourself. Be gentle with yourself. I love
you so much that I do not want you to judge yourself
harshly. In the same way, I will never be harsh with
you. I will never be hard or cold. You are cherished, my
beloved one. I am your Jesus, always here for you. Take
My hand and I will lead you closer to obedience each
day.

Jesus
I, Jesus, take
delight in My apostles. I look into the world and see My
friends, serving each other and growing in love and
truly I experience delight. My friends, you will be well
rewarded. The holier you become, the easier it will be
for you to come to heaven. That is My goal for you, that
you become so holy on earth that your death be a time of
great peace and joy. How I anticipate the homecoming of
each of My beloved servants. I plan for the day and
prepare for the great rejoicing that will take place.
You will be welcomed into eternity by a multitude of
apostles, all of whom served before you. You will
recognize your friends and family in heaven and they
will assemble to greet you. Such joyous reunion. Such
well earned reward. My friends, your life will pass
quickly, far more quickly than you can imagine. I speak
to you today to remind and encourage you. I remind you
that you are committed to Me, to My will. Begin each day
remembering that you have made a commitment to serve
heaven on that day. If you pledge your allegiance to
God, you are on the side of God. If you are on the side
of God, you are working against God’s enemy. I want you
to reject all that comes from the enemy. Be diligent
about your time in silence and I will reveal anything
that I wish you to reject or abandon. I draw you into My
heart, further and further. There is always a need to
advance. Today, I call you to make an even greater
commitment to advancing in holiness. I will help you, of
course. I will make your path even more clear to you. I
come today to remind you of your pledge, but also to
encourage you. I look into the world at this time and
there is darkness, it is true, but there is also light
and that light comes from your commitment to Me. The
angels see your service and they rejoice. The saints see
your service and they applaud. Our mother, Mary, sees
your service and she is comforted. I, Jesus Christ, see
your service and I experience delight. You are part of a
team, My team. We are the team that brings salvation and
we do that through love. In your heart I am placing a
love for humanity. You will experience this love
individually, for each person with whom you come in
contact. This is how I experience love. I love all
mankind and I do this one person at a time. You must do
the same. Love those around you, particularly those in
your family. Treat each person with dignity and respect
because if people see that you are good, they will
understand that I am good. Be at peace. I am with you in
everything and your service delights Me.
