+You have prayed for years to learn to love with My Love. I have had to pull down all your false images of love and show you all the ways you have misunderstood what true love (My kind of Love) looks like. Most of your life, you have sought heroes...people you could look up to and ...yes...worship. You only had eyes for their unique gifts and you resolutely choose not to let them be human. They were high on the pedestal of your heart and there they stayed as you loved your perfect image of who you created them to be. But you are older and wiser now, My love. One by one, I have knocked down the pedestals and each one has tumbled to the ground and your heart has broken each time, as one by one, your heroes let you down. It's so easy to see with the perspective of time, isn't it? Not one has been left standing. And here in this valley of dry bones (where you've mourned the loss of your Kathy-made idols) I say "prophesy to the breath and breathe into these slain... that they may live." What does this timeless prophecy mean? It means Resurrection! From these ashes and your tears you will finally have eyes to see that these heroes are all those that I died for....sinners with weaknesses just like you! These fallen heroes...each one...these are who you now will be able to love with true, eternal, God-empowered Love. And your love (like Mine) will bring life. You see, My love, you can never know how to really love until your eyes are opened to the flaws and failings and even sins of your heroes. "None is righteous...no not one!" So how is it possible to love? What is love if not ignoring flaws and sins? Here's the difference. Before, you chose to deny the truth. But now, you embrace the truth. Only the truth can set you free to truly love. A good example of how this feels is your husband, who loves you even though he knows intimately your every flaw and sin. Doesn't that make you feel truly loved? He's a good model and gift from your Father. I am the Perfect Model and by the gift of the Holy Spirit, I live in you and can love through you! This is the mystery that is your inheritance. You don't need to summon up love. You simply need to REST in MY LOVE and I will empower you to love truly and to love well. Now, rather
than ignoring, you will cherish the weaknesses you see in others because that's what I do. It's why I came! Now you will have grace to give them grace as I do you! You will learn to love even the things you hate about yourself because these are what keep you running to Me! This is topsy turvy kind of thinking to the world,that loves the strong and the successful like you once did. Now your heart will melt as you see others struggle to get things right. Now, you will be able to love as your exquisite Father loves and it will not lead you to sadness and disappointment but to perfect JOY. When you love in and through the Love that binds Father Son and Spirit, you know the secret of salvation. You have been saved so that you can experience this wondrous Love. You are then healed and free enough to give this love to all you meet. This is how the Kingdom comes to earth...one redeemed...perfectly loved person at a time. So revel in how much you are loved, My beloved and let the Light of this Love shine on everyone that crosses your path. You know what true Love is....So LOVE!
