SONG OF SONGS 8:6-7 (2025)

SONG OF SONGS 8:6-7

Set me as a seal on your heart, 
set me as a seal on your arm. 
For love is strong as death; 
its jealousy lasting as the power of death, 
it burns like a blazing fire, 
it blazes like a mighty flame.
No flood can extinguish love nor river submerge it. 
If a man were to buy love with all the wealth of his house, 
contempt is all he would purchase.

---- mine,

I love you with a love beyond anything you can comprehend either in this life or the next. You are known by My Father. You were conceived in the mind and heart of God even before He laid the foundations of the world. He longed for you. He fashioned you. He planned a life for you filled with grace, joy, beauty, and peace. He prepared a place for you in His Kingdom. He brooded over you, for He knew that you, who would be conceived in sin, would allow concupiscence to have its way with you and lead you away from Him. He grieved over you and could not bear being separated from you by your own foolishness and weakness. So He sent Me, His only, beloved Son, into the world to redeem you from the clutches of the evil one and to pay the price of your redemption. And I did because I love you in the same way that My Father does. I lay down My life so you could receive it anew and rise with Me. I have given you My Holy Spirit so you do not have to struggle against the wiles of the world, the flesh, and the devil alone. He is your powerful Helper. Ask and you will receive, seek and you will find, knock and the door will be opened to you. For no one who asks, seeks, and knocks will be denied access to the Kingdom of God and all its treasures. Receive your inheritance, ---- my own, for it was won for you on and those you love at the cost of the life of the Son of God and the Son of Man. Love God with your whole heart, your whole mind, and your whole strength, and love your neighbor as yourself.  Trust Me in all things and do not worry, for worry, fear, and anxiety are useless. Trust in Me with all your heart, and you will experience miracles beyond your imagination. Believe, rejoice, and be glad, for it pleases My Father to make you co-heir with Me to the Kingdom of Heaven.

MATTHEW 12:49-50 (2025)

MATTHEW 12:49-50

Then Jesus pointed to his disciples and said, 
“Look! Here are my mother and my brothers.
Whoever does the will of my Father in heaven 
is my brother and sister and mother.”

---- mine,

Nothing in heaven or on earth is greater than doing the will of My Father in heaven; all else pales before this. In heaven, all the angels are in perfect accord with His will, and every saint has known that there is no easier way to perfect union with God than to seek above all else to discern My Father's will and do it. If you wish to live ---- my own, seek to die to yourself, to your desires, all that clamors within you for fulfilment, and instead lift up your eyes to My Father in heaven and ask the Holy Spirit dwelling within you to reveal the Father's will for you. And what is My Father's will? It is to know Me, whom He has sent into the world to make Him and His love visible and tangible to you. How did I do this? by embracing His will and in obedience to it, coming into the world as one like you, taking on human flesh from the Woman chosen by God to give Me a Body. In My Body, I received every sin ever committed by the human race from the first to the last into My own flesh, My soul, My spirit, and I made perfect atonement for every one of them so you could approach My Father without condemnation from Him. Because the Father has done this for you in giving up His only Son to make atonement for your sins, there is nothing more important or more imperative for you at all times, everywhere, and in all circumstances, to humbly seek the will of My Father in heaven and do it. Anyone who wishes to be My brother, sister, or mother must first embrace My Father's will as comprehensively as My Mother did. She is the Woman now clothed with the Sun, for whom doing the will of God was food and drink just as it was for Me. Seek His will, ---- my own, in all things and do it. Nothing is more pleasing to Me when you do.
