WORDS OF WISDOM

I am quite real, My friend. I speak in you as I have spoken in My friends across all time. This is not as unusual as it seems. In fact it is quite ordinary for those friends who, like you, seek intimacy with Me.

I, Jesus the Messiah, speak in My friends in ways too numerous to mention. I have said, "My friends know My Voice." I am not speaking literally. I am speaking figuratively. I leave My Indelible Mark on the souls of all who seek to befriend Me.

My friends know what I mean. They experience the Unseen Me in the depths of their being. They know internally that just being with Me quietly in the silence of their hearts is all they need to make it through temporary. They know My Touch internally.

Just ask any daily communicant if they experience Me internally. Invariably they will say, "Yes!" If you push them a little further they will explain what they mean. Some will focus on Inner Peace. Others will share how My True Presence in them somehow strengthens them. There is certitude in each of them that makes them convincing even though what they say may not make sense to the listener. That certitude is contagious.

Readers look at your own inner life. Do you not know for certain that I, Jesus the Messiah, am part of you? You cannot explain how or why. You just know instinctively that it is I. That's what all My friends say when they are pushed to describe why they seek more and more of Me.

After all I am a man who was crucified over two thousand years ago in your world. How can I possibly be alive in anybody? Dead is dead. Is it not? Yet, friends like you insist that I, Jesus the Messiah, am alive in them somehow. That's how they explain My Divinity.

It works for them because they freely choose to act on what they experience internally. They freely choose to seek out more and more ways of relating to Me spiritually, mentally and physically. This Relationship in Love changes the way they conduct their daily lives. That is called Metanoia. That is rebirth in My Love. That is My Love in them transforming them into resurrected butterflies.

 (Of course I am speaking figuratively. I know your literal mind. I do not want you to think human beings become butterflies. I do not want reincarnation as butterflies to distract you.)

My friends change from the inside out. My Love Touches open them to ever deepening experiences of Me within them. These experiences enable them to persist in changing how they live so that ultimately they model their life style after Mine. They become like Me.

Are these words that I share in you merely intellectual ramblings of your imagination gone wild? You tell Me. Does what I say in you relate to what you experience internally as you live out your life in your world?

I speak to My friend and to you the reader as well. Do these words strike a chord in you that rings true? Well then, rejoice! Know that I, Jesus the Messiah, dwell in you in Love, with Love and through Love.

These words are not new. They are spoken daily at Mass. They have been spoken for centuries at Mass. How do you think they found their way into Mass? Inspired writes proposed them to church leaders. Inspired church leaders made them part of the liturgy.

How has My Church grown? Individuals, inspired by Me internally, have proposed ideas. They discussed ideas that grew out of their intimate experiences with Me internally. Eventually a consensus was reached by inspired leaders.

The liturgy as it exists today evolved through this give and take process. Imperfect people scrambled to achieve consensus. They were inspired by the presence of Our Most Holy Spirit in their hearts.

On their own, ideas that are not mine fall by the wayside in ruin. Spirit inspired ideas take hold and have life precisely because of the presence of Our Spirit in these initiatives.

The growth of religion follows the same metanoia process that individuals pursue. Those initiatives inspired and nourished by My True Presence in Love will last. Those that exist without My True Presence in Love will perish. Those that in their hearts accept Me will find their way home to Me even if the religion they follow may die.

Why? I am Love. I love My friends to Life Eternal. I do not reject those who pursue My Truth erroneously. I simply correct their thinking.

Why do I go on as I do today? I simply stress that if you love Me with your whole heart, your whole soul and your whole mind, I will always love you. Get it?

Love,

Jesus
