Hear Me, My dear one. Do not just listen, but hear what I say. You have My Word, but you have seen what comes from merely the letter when the life is left out.
My Spirit brings My Word to life, but your heart must be open to receive it. From My heart flows the grace, the compassion, the cheer, the mercy, the encouragement, the gentleness, the meekness, yes, and even the strength for joyful acceptance.
These are the elements of My life, the abundant life, the life of the Spirit that bears fruit and makes your time on earth more than a dreary endurance of patient resignation.
Open your heart to Me. Tune your heart to Me. Submit your heart to Me. Know the joyful hope and vibrant resonance that brings the life of confident overcoming from the heavenlies into your home and your work.
Hear what the Spirit has to say, for He will reveal Me to the world through you, if you will hear My voice and obey it.
