R. Dear Jesus, my heart is on fire for love of Thee. You don't know how I wait to be with You.
Jesus speaks: My arms surround your very soul. I like you to come to Me in the night when all else is quiet. You come and I am with you, in your soul. You know My presence with you. I am Jesus, Son of the Living God. I wait by day. I wait by night. I call you from your sleep to be in those moments of quiet with you. Come and empty yourself of all of you and feel only Me. All this is you and worldly. Let go of it. I want to possess your soul. I want to operate your body. You will become more and more of Me as I dwell in your spirit. You do not act because I act in you. But you must empty yourself to allow Me to fill you with Me. I want to permeate your very soul so your insides are filled by Me. Are you willing for this surrender? Let go of your tiredness. Let go of everything that is keeping you from being empty to Me. You don't need this sleep. You need Me. You notice how this time energizes you. It doesn't take from you.
You don't see Me with your eyes. They are human. You feel Me with your soul. You must let go of yourself. Quit focusing on your eyes. You see Me in your soul. You feel the presence in your soul. You die to your body and you engage in a spiritual union with Me in your soul. Your body must go. Let it go. Be with Me in your soul. You don't need your body to get close to Me. You need your soul to get close to Me! Let go and feel My true presence in you.
Let go of you and open to Me, glorious Me-My light, My lightness, My tingliness. Empty yourself of all that holds you back. Find a comfortable place, one where you can let go of every inch of your body and get in touch with your soul. This is a spiritual communion with Me. It only comes in absolute silence. Anything that draws you back to the world stops this communion. You need to be in total silence and listen to My whispers. They are there and I am here but you cannot experience Me with your body. You need your soul to know Me.
You can know Me in a new way. Pray for help to be entirely caught in your spirit. Let go of the parts of the body. You do not know Me through your ears and eyes. You feel Me in your heart, you hear Me in your head. You see Me in your head, you hear the knocking in your head when I reach you. I don't use your body. I may use it, but I can reach you in your soul if you open yourself entirely up to Me. I don't need your ears for you to hear Me. I need your heart and your spirit. You think you bring in information through your senses. I do not need your senses to reach your soul. I may use your senses or I may use your mind and heart to talk to you. My ways are not the ways of the world. You may see Me, but not with your eyes. The image is just as vivid. It is from Me and you see it, eyes or not, if I want to communicate with you. I do so with your mind. Maybe your ears may think they hear Me, but how come no one else hears? What about smells? You smell roses. Someone else didn't. Was it your nose or your mind? Just as you saw in your mind, you can smell or hear in your mind or soul. I do not need your body to communicate with you.
Open your heart wide. Put the world aside. I will reach you. I will make known all I want to tell you. You must surrender and be open. You must be with Me. You must make Me your top priority in your life. I am Jesus, Son of the Living God. I will give you all you need. There is nothing in your life that is not being guarded by Me. Trust in Me, My baby. I watch you, I care for you. I am working behind the scenes in your life every day.
Surrender and be selfless. Let go of your body. It gets in the way. What you are to wear, what you are to eat-who cares? Your soul is what is important! Your body is another thing in this world. All it does is help you live here and sometimes it limits you here.
Keep your soul holy. Let Me sanctify you. Do not sin. Feed your soul. Tend to its feeding all day, just as you have been feeding your body. Your soul thirsts and hungers for Me. Are you feeding it? Oh, the cares of the world! Let's adorn our bodies, make them our temples, dress ourselves up! All can be taken away in an instant! Feed the soul. Store up treasures for your heart. Open up to Me and let Me permeate you. Let Me possess your soul. Let Me live in you! Die to yourself. I am your main concern. Come to Me all who labor and are heavily burdened and I will give you rest. I will make the crooked ways straight. I will furbish the starved soul. You will run and not grow weary. You will fly on eagles' wings. None of this worldly, body stuff matters. You know what matters! Come to Me and tend to your souls. Prepare for the life hereafter. Don't adorn your bodies as your temples. Adorn your souls with the fruits that only I can give. For My life is life eternal and you, My child, will partake forever and ever if you stay fixed in Me and My word. I love you.
Man has not seen or ear has not heard what glory awaits him who serves the Lord. Alleluia, Alleluia.
