(Isaiah 44:6)
(Mark 10:18)
Every Soul can say,
O God, where would I be if I had not found You? I shudder to think. It was You Who formed us in our mothers' wombs. To where would any of us go without You?
O God, You made us. You love us, as Our "Abba" Daddy-Father. What would I seek, if I seek not You? You tell me, as you tell us all, "When you seek me with all your heart I will let you find Me." (Jeremiah 29:13-14) Truly it is said: "The Lord is good to those who hope in Him, to the soul who seeks Him." (Lamentations 3:25)
As I also remember, "Unless we learn to love and trust You in the same way as we have loved and trusted our parents
who have loved and nurtured us in our earthly home, that we cannot enter into the Heavenly Home You hold prepared
for those who know and love You as being the True Father of us all - that we are all Your children."
(Paraphrase of Mark 10:15; Acts:17:24-28)
You tell us, each one: "Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you." (Jeremiah 1:5)
I made you in My own image. (Genesis) Freely I have made you, to share in My wonder of what it is to be. So, free, you must also be, in your heart, to choose your destiny.
"Before you is good and evil, life and death. What you choose, shall be given to you." (Ecclesiasticus) Choose carefully My love, for what you choose is infinite in its consequence. What you choose you will become, for all eternity.
Choose Me Who is your life image in all of its fulness. Choose Me not, and you shall inherit a void of evil which is all that I am not. It is the second death from which there is no return. It is the opposite of all the Goodness of Who I Am. Choose well, I love you. Choose Me and "...none shall pluck you out of My hand." (John 10:28) Choose Me not and evil shall have its way with you, forever.
Put simply, your choice is the endless wonders of My Heaven or, all that My Heaven is not. Choose good or evil, life or death eternal, heaven or hell. The temptations to evil's way you must overcome as did I Myself for you. I died in your place on the tree. You now must pay the price if you would have company with Me, the One Who died for love of thee, to win for you My own wondrous eternity.
Choose me, no matter the cost, in the face of all which in this world beckons thee. Beyond the grave I wait for thee. Come to Me for your life. I knew you, even before I formed you in your mother' womb, but you now in your freedom, must make your choice between the 2nd death and Me. Choose well My love...Remember, I wait for thee.
