Jesus speaks: Come unto Me all who are weary and I will give you rest for your soul. I come that you might have life, not as the world gives it to you, but as only I can give.
I am He Who comes on a dark, cold night. I sit at your side and you are comforted. You reach no further than Me because I tend to your needs. You come time and time again and you know that in this meeting with your Lord you have solace. You do not go other places to seek your consolation for you are consoled by My meeting and you want no more. I give you a healing balm and your troubled soul is set free in the recesses of My arms and you rest from your weariness and depart from our meeting refreshed. But you travel not alone for I continue with you on your way and you know you are not alone whence you go. I go with you.
I am the Good Shepherd and you are watched after by Me. You do not fret or fume for My closeness to you gives you the security you seek. You just follow My lead and your life unfolds before you. Oh, you! Your life is precious to Me. I have plans for you and I need you to do your part. Surrender to Me and let Me lead the way. Do not become boastful and self-willed. Become as a little lamb, following the lead of the Master, not the one sheep that is lost. If you follow the Master, He knows His sheep and He cares for each of them. If they go astray by their own volition, He tries to bring them back, but they may choose in their willfulness to do their own thing and run a road of destruction.
Follow the Master. Be open to His lead. Open your hearts wide and let all He has for you enter in. He will pour in His gifts and His love. He will direct you on your way and your life will have meaning, according to the Master and for what He created you to do. Submission is the key. One person doing the will of God can do more than a million doing their own thing. I need each child to do his work. If you do not work for Me, but work for the world, your work is never done. I am counting on you, My soldiers of love, to follow the lead of the Master and do your part in this Satanic war. Your life, attached to Me, makes you My disciple against Satan. You need only pray and stay tuned to Me and you will act as I direct you.
Die to yourself and this world. Be of Me. Let Me live inside of you and operate your body. I need you, I need you, I need you, My brothers. I need you to do this work! They may shun you and spit at you and glare at you and try to cast you away from them, but you are Christ to them alive in your heart. They need you more than any of their other foolish endeavors that lure Me out.
Be strong, My little ones. You are being called to this life. The world is not like you. You are fighting the whole way. Do not give up ever. Your presence in this world and your committedness to Me is teaching such a lesson to your brothers. Hold tight. I know the battle you fight with all around you who are blind. Keep living the truth.
Be attentive to Me. Do your adoration every day. You cannot do it without My supplies. When a warrior goes off to battle, does he leave his arms behind? Don't leave yours behind. Come to the tabernacle. I lead you on your way. You carry My supplies and you fight for My armies. "But," you say, "My hands are empty and I am traveling light into a heavy battle." And I say to you that I go with you. You are bound by My love. I give you My power to fight this uphill battle. You gird your loins and follow My lead and I am your arms. Your heart is armed with My love. My power and My grace and I go with you.
Don't look back. Don't ask Me any questions. I am directing you in your hearts. Stay steadfast and attached to My promptings. A mike you carry in your heart and I am filling you in on the other side. To hear Me, you must stay very close to Me. You never go away from Me or you will miss My strategy and you could have a mishap. You stay very close and listen with wide open ears. You are very attentive to My voice and you trust Me to know. I won't leave you ever. Even if the voice gets faint, you know that if you wait My directions will become clearer, so you wait on Me always. Trust. Faith. Love. We are bound together by these. You do not falter or run amok because you trust totally in Me. You don't think, "Oh, maybe I better help Him" and do a little of your own directing. You are like a baby on its back waiting to be picked up. That dependency I require of you. Trust totally in the Master and have faith that He will be there. You never see Me by your side. You just know I am here and never leave you. And it is My love that goes with you. The power of it all, the warmth in the soul, the light to the bowed down. My love and all its power! Rays of light and power go from My heart to you. You are never alone. I go with you always on your way!
I am the Master and you are My little ones. I bind you by My love. You trust and have faith in Me. Oh, babies, do not worry anymore. Give up this worry. Surrender to Me Who loves you and let Me lead your way. You will never run amok. Your ways will be directed and your light is My light. I light your path and you proceed on your way, directed by Me and on your way.
