My dear children,
Today I desire a careful examination of each heart where peace and love must be allowed to flourish. Your hearts must become like the gardens in Spring where beauty has been planted and awaits but the gentle rain and the warmth of the sun to bring forth its harvest of delicate life ---- the fruits of your labor.
My children, do not be misled by My gentle words but search for their true meaning and pray that the eyes of your hearts will see beyond the closed doors of indifference. It is here fear and disbelief still linger causing doubt; the uncertainty which confines your faith and trust that truly all things are possible with God.
You have come to desire only comfort in your faith --not allowing for the miracles which do occur ---- the intensity of which shall increase in this remaining time.
I urge you, My little ones, to walk by faith for We are in your midst searching for the open childlike hearts into which we will pour great grace. Be wise, dear children, but in your wisdom do not restrict God's power by placing limitations for in so doing, it is you yourself who becomes restricted ---- limited by your lack of faith. Be bold ---- believe and love much.
Peace and love.
