Summary: do we live lives of self-gratification and feed our old nature or hold onto God? We should live through God and not through ourselves, many of us neglect our hearts and choose to cultivate our minds instead, all who are lost and hurting shall be transfigured by the blessing of salvation.
Many have toiled, many have suffered but I ask you who has been their master? Is their master the world, the desire for material wealth? Have they sought only to surround themselves with things of fleshly comfort? Do they not know that the flesh will die, but all they ignore is eternal? They succumb to many temptations, living lives of self-gratification, ignoring He who gave them their talents, He who offers salvation, freedom, life. Do they not realise all they are doing is feeding their old nature, ignoring the future and all possibility of renewal by not holding on to Me and assuring themselves of an eternal inheritance.
But you, My children, have already come to Me, are already one with Me, sharing in new life. So step out in confidence, live through Me and not yourselves, incorporate My presence in all you do, move in My ways and not the ways of the world, walk in righteousness and act in truth and you shall be exceedingly fruitful, acceptable to He who created you, ever growing in purity and love, free from all fear and sin. Yes, My children, by knowing Me and walking in My ways you give Me much glory, by helping the lost and abandoned, caring for those in need. You may feel you have done little, and have little ability, but I tell you on the final day your account shall be one of joy, with many testimonies of loving actions and words, not made for personal gain but from your heart, a heart in tune with that of the Father.
It sorrows Me to see so many neglect their hearts instead choosing to cultivate their minds, believing all may be achieved through their own efforts, and for their own personal gain. I tell you such actions only distance you from Me, strengthen your hold on the old creation and loosen your grip on the new. So come to Me, trust Me, love Me, have faith and I shall justify your choice by renewing your minds as well as your hearts. I shall tend your grieving spirit and restore all that has been shattered and withered through soulish desires and fleshly actions. Do not reside in a place of imprisonment and darkness but call out to Me and I shall rescue you, fill you with My Spirit. You shall be radiant, aflame with heavenly fire, enclosed in My pure and all pervasive light, a perfect love. All that is selfish and impure will fall away; it will tread the path of your heart, a path of purity and devotion, and I shall lead you as I lead all who are lost and hurting, all who feel rejected and alone, restoring to you all you were intended to receive from the very beginning, even your greatest disappointments shall fade into insignificance as you are transfigured by the fathomless blessing of salvation into a life of perfect peace, joy and harmony for all eternity. Amen.
