On Suffering

God's Blue Book I Cover

October 27, 1993 - 6:00p.m.

Jesus speaks: You are experiencing suffering, My child, suffering that I am allowing. Accept it. Be as an open door. Take all I send you. You will have more time for Me. I do not want you busy, My child. I am the top of your life. I will send all things your way. You must stay fixed on Me. Make your life simple and joyful. Be not worn out. You are exhausted, running around like a chicken without a head. My peace is not found in business. My peace is in the whisper, in him whose voice is silent, in him who is quiet, in him who is not boastful. You must remain selfless. You do not have to promote yourself. You are of value to Me. I need you to do this work. Be calm and unattached to all that is worldly. You will let go of all that you once needed and you will need only Me. In My ways is your happiness found. Only from Me do you get peace. Release yourself from people, places and things. Be close only to Me. Your life unfolds and I am unwrapping it, little one.

Suffering. I suffered, I truly suffered for love of you! Accept your sufferings as a sharing in My passion and offer them up to Me. Accept suffering as a staircase to heaven. Each day you ascend closer and closer to Me, your divine reward.

My soul is sad even to the point of death. Come and wait with Me that you might know the love I have for you. Comfort, oh comfort! I indeed am God and I care for the pain in your soul. I suffered too. I know suffering. I know longing in My heart for souls that are dead in sin and do not come to Me. I suffer for love of thee. Come to Me that I might make you whole, that I may breathe My life into your withered soul and comfort you in your sorrow! You are My child and I watch you and feel your pain. Your pain is not in vain. It is in suffering that you share in My life! Walk My passion with Me and know Me better. The way to Me is the way of the cross. Do not put your cross down. Bear all I send to you and praise your heavenly Father Who loves you! To give up My cross is to give up Me. "Oh, but," you say, "I want to know You, Lord." To know Me is to carry My cross, not to put it down. Carry the little crosses I give you every day and you will know Me more and more for I am in your life today in that cross. Will you embrace Me or turn away? Suffer with Me whenever it comes your way. It is a gift I give to you to be closer to Me.

Oh, ye little ones, you do such foolish things and you do not know what will really light the path. You use oil or water or whatever, but nothing will light your path but My light. I give you fuel for the fire. I give you energy for your way and you go to so many stupid places. Come to Me, My babies. Make your heart an open door. Open the gates to Me and all I give you. Whatever comes in your heart from Me accept as given from Him Who loves you. I love you so.

Now listen to My words: your longing is right for My love. You cannot comprehend My love now. Your heart longs for Me, child. That is suffering. I love for you to long for Me. I am here even when you do not feel Me. In sorrow, I am closest to you. I love you so intently. My heart is on fire for love of you. It is in suffering that I am closest. I am the light to the dark world and I come to this world in you. Will you come and let Me dwell in your soul and cast My light from you? I am the Good Shepherd. I know Mine and Mine know Me. Come little lambs, let Me hold and comfort you. I am your true love.
