Do we love with God's Love? Do we care enough about LOVE that we are no longer willing to be satisfied with any substitute? Are we Lovers in the true meaning of God's Truth? Or have we accepted a substitute love in His Place... an anti-christ love (which is no love at all) instead of Christ's Love?

This is the question the Church of Jesus Christ must ask herself in this day...
Are we clothed in the Love of God, which is the Wedding Garment, which is
required to enter into the Wedding Feast and Celebration?  Are we enveloped in
a Love which requires us to lay down our lives for the sake of others? Do we
Love with a Love that consumes darkness all around us, with its Light and Life
and Glory? Does the LOVE of God flow, like rivers of Living Water, from our
hearts?


"Can you see that even as I was sent into the world, so you too were sent into
the world, to manifest God; to manifest Love? 

Even as My Beloved Son attached Himself to your humanity, through Faith, bringing Our Divine Nature into you; you who are now attached to Him, through Him, carry Our Divine Nature, into all the world, continuing the branching work of My Kingdom. You are the branches, and I AM the Vine.

I chose "the Vine" as the analogy for the branching-work of My Church, for a vine spreads and grows in all directions, each branch sending out tendrils (of faith) to hold itself in the most precarious of places.. firmly attaching itself (by faith) to the most difficult of situations...enabling you to carrying the Love of God into all the world... overcoming (in faith), even the most difficult of circumstances; some branches going under barriers, some branches climbing over others... yet steadily spreading through out the world, carrying Love, Our Divine Nature. Love draws hurting human hearts.. even as a magnet draws metal unto itself. What is the force or power of a magnet... do you understand it? My Love is an even greater mystery... and the power of it is irresistible to those things attracted to Love... remember I came for the sick! The Sick, the Hurting, the Brokenhearted will be drawn to Love and they will be healed.. physically, emotionally and spiritually.

To do as I have done.. lay down your lives for the sake of the sick? Will you stand in the gap and intercede for the sake of those I have given unto you? Will you Love as I have Loved you? Will you take this stewardship responsibility I have entrusted unto you? Will you Love with My Love?

Oh my beloved, open your eyes and see the fields ripe unto Harvest. Yet, how is
this harvest accomplished? I say it is accomplished by one heart Loving
another;  I say it shall be accomplished as each of My Lovers, Loves another
with the same Love they have for me... even as "you have done to the least of
these, my brethren, I say you have done unto Me".

Will you let My Love flow through you into the lives I have entrusted unto you? Will you Love fearlessly? Will you Trust Me to keep you safe in all situations you find yourself?

The Resurrection Call of LOVE will quicken My Body; stirring her into New Life.
Empowering her to Love selflessly... to Love with My Love, which is not
self-seeking, is not perverted with pride or self-love or lust; A Love which is
humble, knowing the truth of your own frailty... yet My Love is also the power
of the Overcomers, those who Love not their lives, but the lives of those I
have given them.

This Call of Love is the Call to Resurrection Life, to Kingdom Life... and in
those hearts prepared, My Love shall be made manifest... for in you, I have
placed My Heart. During the time of suffering, in the darkness of pain and
betrayal, as your tears fell, as your heart broke, I put a new Heart, My
Heart... and in this Heart, the Quickening Life of Resurrection Power shall be
made manifest.  This is the Day of New Beginnings, as My Body arises in New
Life, in New Love... revealing the Love of God, whose Name is JESUS.

The Christian Community is a gathering of "works in progress"...  We know from the revelation of Scripture, the longer a saint walks with God, the greater is his awareness of his own "sinfulness", not righteousness!  Although perhaps to others, looking solely on the outward they see the Righteousness of God, which has been Divinely Imparted into the heart of the Believer; the Fruit of the Holy Spirit being manifested. The believer is not conscious of this "fruit" for he knows there is none good, save God Himself! 

Humility is the fruit of knowing ourselves in truth.

Many have learned the hard way.. that it is only in a spiritual community which manifests the living reality of God's Grace, that a person can safely be "transparent". God has called us to worship Him in Spirit and in Truth. In Spirit and in Truth, there is no deception, there is no lie.. there is no covering up the reality of who we are.

Why is it that we, like David expressed in the Psalms, fear to fall into the hands of man, so much more than we fear to fall into the Hands of God? I am sure the answer to that question is what Jesus wants us to acknowledge in His teaching that "He desires mercy, not sacrifice!"

May Light-string always be a community of Faith, which encourages each light to be
truthful and free in their ongoing transformation in Love. We lift the Name of Jesus, and ask that He draws each of us to Himself! That in union with Him, we "discover" that we are in union with all those who have come to Him to have Life. May we look and listen to each other as "persons"... not denominations, not sects, not cults... just "persons" who have been drawn together by the Sovereign Hand of God, for His Good Purpose in each of us. Let's listen and let the Holy Spirit teach us, as we continue to press on in His Love.

your sister in the Flowing LIGHT of God,

(I see a sparkling RIVER of LIGHT flowing toward us... it is like we each are sitting beside a sparkling, bubbling creek joyfully downhill... in the mountains; the sunshine sparkles and jumps along on the surface of the water, as we sit and soak-in the heat and joy of the fresh air and the peace that we each need so much. May this day be a day of Restoring the Joy of our Salvation, as we each.. rest and trust in God, who has begun this work of Faith in us.. faithing on the Promise that He shall indeed complete what He has begun. I love you all this beautiful and sparkling day!  Soak in God's Love!)
