Jesus speaks: Come unto Me all who are weary and I will give you rest. Place your head upon My shoulder and I will comfort you. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.
I am your all. You need not worry about what you are to wear or put on because I go with you and prepare your path. You do not falter, you do not deviate. Your ways are directed and your path is lighted by a beacon light lest you stumble and fall. I am ever vigilant and I am ready to pick you up and place you on the right path. Your steps never go far off the path because I watch you like a doting parent. Whatever sufferings befall you, I am so close that you know you need not worry or fear for I point the way and you follow. You know I am with you in adversity. You are comforted when the road is rocky. You travel with directness the whole way.
I am this close to you but you must remain fixed in Me and spend time in constant deliberation with Me. Do you understand? I never forget you. You never go from Me. We are connected by our bond of love and it compels us both to spend time with one another alone every day. This is when I most direct you. It is in joy that you come to be with Me. The time you spend with Me becomes the highlight of the day and all else must wait while you spend this time. It is at least an hour of directed prayer in front of the tabernacle. If you miss this time, you will not flow through the air. You will get caught in the traps of the earth. It is as necessary for you as eating. Sometimes, if you can't make it, you can spend this hour at home, but most of each week you spend your hour in front of Me.
I pour out to you such gifts-you do not know! Come and sit and be with Me! Sit with Me. Be attentive to Me. Listen with an open heart. Do not be eager to leave and do other things. This hour becomes so precious to you that, if you do not come, the longing in your heart for this time makes your day a disaster. It is as though you count and count on something, you plan it with eagerness, and then you run into a big traffic jam and don't get to go. It is very disheartening. This is only a small comparison to what happens when you miss our time together. You must spend the time or the fact that you miss it so much will haunt your day.
I am so loving and so good and I have so much love to give each of you. I wait for you to come so I can pour Myself out to you. So much is gained after Communion. If your time with Me is spent after Communion, you have an extra bonus but, if it isn't, it is still so good. I wait for you to come. I love you so much and I long to be with you. Will you come and share love with Me? I am your ardent lover. I am really waiting for just you. Come and sit and be with Me. Don't read your prayers, just be with Me. Float away in My love. Empty yourself of yourself and be vigilant and attentive to only your soul. Forget yourself entirely. Oh, you little one, how I love you. Please come to Me and sit with Me.
This is an hour I give to you with My most Precious Heart. My heart is ablaze and full of such love. It is as a hot furnace, on fire for love of you. Can you refuse such intense love from God? Think of this. God waits for you. He is waiting with His heart on fire and His arms open wide for you. No one can take your place. I long for you and you alone. I can love everyone like this because I am God. Do not try to understand the ways of God with your earthly minds. Man cannot fathom that which I can do, so why try? I am God - you do not understand the ways of God. But, you must know I am waiting and longing for you and your soul was created to thirst after Me. So, if you do not come, you thirst. I am Jesus, Son of the Living God. I long to be united with you in Communion. I am here, totally present, body and soul, human and divine. I am God-made-man, of a woman, come to this earth and I want to be united to you in Communion.
What could be more important ever than God waiting for you to give Himself to you. God comes to be in you. What a gift for you! And you say, "No, I must go shopping." Where are your minds? Do you not see the folly of it all. Nothing matters but Me. How could you ever miss! Oh, children, put Me first in your life. Fit Me into your days. Plan a routine. Just as you eat, you come to Me to be fed. If you do not come, you are hungry. How are you when you are physically hungry and not fed? Very crabby! Well, you are much the same way when you are spiritually hungry, but the soul has a greater pull on the feelings in the body so you are more wanting for food from Me. Your souls are very hungry for Me. Do you want to starve your soul? Treat it like a baby. It must be fed or it cries. It will cry until it is fed. Your soul will cry when it is not fed. Only I fill the soul. All other misleadings are temporary. In the end the soul cries out, "Feed Me, feed Me." And some say, "Shut up, take some sex, have a drink, numb yourself soul!" It doesn't work! Like a baby it screams day and night and it must be fed by only God. Babies only take what they need. Your soul will only be fed by Me.
I am here always for you. I wait always for you to come. I love you this much: you are worth My being there! I long for your love. Come, little babies. Come and be fed by Me! I care for you. I wait for you. I am hyper-vigilant. I know your needs. I give you rest. Come and rest in My arms. Be fed just the right formula. I know exactly what you need, baby. Come to Me and I give you exactly what you need. Stay away and you cry. You don't get fed. You wander a barren desert with an empty stomach and nothing works because only I can feed your soul. You are wasting your life when you stay away from Me. I can do in an instant what you can never do. You are lost and can't find your way. Your way is the road that leads directly to the tabernacle. Follow that road every day and wait. I watch for your return. Come, beloved of My Father. I wait for you with eagerness.
