Summary: many see God only as a concept, but we can love, speak and know Him – he feels, suffers and loves, do not measure by worldly standards, contemplation, devotion adoration are what God seeks, we should love Him as we love our husbands, wives and children. Come to God with an undivided heart.
Many claim to walk in My light, but their hearts are not aflame with love for Me. They claim to have faith, they claim to have knowledge, yet they are still dead in trespass and sin. They know Me only as a concept, not seeing Me as one who can feel, who can suffer, who can love. They spend their time on what they consider My work to be, yet ignore My constant presence, regarding Me of having little practical use, of being ethereal and intangible, one with whom you cannot associate, one with whom you cannot speak, one whom you cannot know or even love. They spend no time in seeking Me, no time in discerning My will, but measure all things by worldly standards. Such people have neglected their true purpose, abuse the gifts they have been given and spend their efforts to seek the favour of mankind. What I ask is where is the contemplation? Where is the devotion? Where is the adoration? How can they expect to share in the rewards of My glory when they do not even know who I am? I want more than pious affection; I want to be loved as you love your husband, as you love your wife, as you love your children. Yes, be united with Me, let Me make you strong, allow Me to lead you in victory, knowing that I am your strength, your haven in times of hardship and trial, knowing that I love you with a perfect heart, ever constant, ever sincere. So, My child, do not give yourself over to anguish and soul searching but rest assured in My arms, certain that I am with you at all times. Such peace and freedom belongs to all who come to Me with an undivided heart. It is these hearts, hearts such as yours, which are most treasured in heaven for you shall ascend with Me to the heights of the Kingdom, trusting yourself to My hands, forever moving forward, ever focused on Me, on love, oblivious to the many pressures and events which tempt you away from My embrace, the embrace for which so much was sacrificed, the love that willingly and without hesitation offered itself for you, the love which constantly suffers rejection and abuse. Yet this pain loses its significance in the love I hold for you, for in My sacrifice I have fulfilled all that I have ever wanted, to know you, to love you, to be united with you for all eternity. Amen.
