Mat 20:30-34 And, behold, two blind men sitting by the way side, when they heard that Jesus passed by, cried out, saying, Have mercy on us, O Lord, thou Son of David. And the multitude rebuked them, because they should hold their peace: but they cried the more, saying, Have mercy on us, O Lord, thou Son of David. And Jesus stood still, and called them, and said, What will ye that I shall do unto you? They say unto him, Lord, that our eyes may be opened. So Jesus had compassion on them, and touched their eyes: and immediately their eyes received sight, and they followed him.
I hear Your voice crying out to Me as you sit by the way side. Many voices call out to Me, but I pause to hear yours. I cannot fail to be moved with your pleas. I appear to those that seek Me. Ever seek Me, beloved, and not the crowd.
As these two blind beggars sought to see Me, ask that I might open your eyes to behold all that I am doing on your behalf. Do not let the multitude of the crowd rebuke you and block out My response to you. I will come unto you and touch you and you will follow Me. I will enlighten the eye of your mind and you shall see that others will know that you have been with Me.
With Love Eternal,
Jesus
Whether we be in a crowd, or whether we be alone, we take assurance that Jesus notices us and responds to us with compassion. May we stifle the clamor of the noise that assaults and discourages us and hear Him speak, What do you want Me to do for you?

Mat 20:25-28 But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Ye know that the princes of the Gentiles exercise dominion over them, and they that are great exercise authority upon them. But it shall not be so among you: but whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister; And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant: Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.
With all humility serve. Serve Me and serve those I send into your life. Seek not dominion and authority over those; seek to let them see you as a ministering angel of Mine.
You will note those that are called by My name in that they do not boast, dictate and demand your laurels and accolades, but instead, expecting nothing in return, they serve My kingdom that My will might be done. Pray that you might minister as such.
With Love Eternal,
Jesus
Our service to Christ should be known and approved by Him. We serve because He laid down His life for us. What a vision to be captured, we pray for, O Lord. Amen

Mat 20:23 Then came to him the mother of Zebedee's children with her sons, worshipping him, and desiring a certain thing of him. And he said unto her, What wilt thou? She saith unto him, Grant that these my two sons may sit, the one on thy right hand, and the other on the left, in thy kingdom. But Jesus answered and said, Ye know not what ye ask. Are ye able to drink of the cup that I shall drink of, and to be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with? They say unto him, We are able. And he saith unto them, Ye shall drink indeed of my cup, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with: but to sit on my right hand, and on my left, is not mine to give, but it shall be given to them for whom it is prepared of my Father.
Beloved, self-exaltation in any form is not My will for you, neither is it My love. What you ask is for a wish to be granted and not a prayer to be answered. I will answer that which glorifies Me, and you shall know what that is as you surrender your will in this to Me.
It is my delight to give you the Kingdom for that which exalts Me and further proclaims My glorious name. Spend your days in praise and thanksgiving and spend your evenings acknowledging all I have given you. Just come and be with Me because you love Me. Tell Me I am enough for you. I have chosen to bless you; let me surprise you with many lovely things throughout your life. Fail not to see what they are.
With Love Eternal,
Jesus
We know that God knows what is best for us. Let us, in return, offer Him our deepest love and gratitude for being called one of His chosen.

Mat 20:18-19 Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be betrayed unto the chief priests and unto the scribes, and they shall condemn him to death, And shall deliver him to the Gentiles to mock, and to scourge, and to crucify him: and the third day he shall rise again.
When you weep for yourself, remember what mockery and torture was done to Me. This was all to My foreknowledge, child. Do you not think I was pained to know this treachery?
Do not ask to know your future. You could not bear it. You are not God. Yet, I was fully God and fully man. Can you not imagine My grief at My betrayal? And that I am not familiar in what you are feeling now?
Those who have betrayed you have in no manner crucified you for being sinless as I was. I know the hurt you are feeling, the lost of trust that occurred, and the sadness that walks with you constantly. You have poured out your complaint to Me and I have heard. I alone can empathize with being forsaken. But, My beloved, I cannot shield you from all emotional upheaval . Instead, I ask that you continue to come to Me, your risen Christ, and bless Me and praise My name, for that is where you will learn that I am always by your side.
I am the only one that can understand your feelings, yet I bid you to elect to have them healed so that you can live the risen and victorious life with your Lord. My Kingdom is an everlasting Kingdom. Your hurts are temporal. Let Me touch you and remove that root of bitterness.
With Love Eternal,
Jesus
What a needless burden we carry when we do not bring it all to Jesus and lay it at the foot of the cross as we ask for restoration and wholeness, body, mind and spirit.

Mat 19:30 But many that are first shall be last; and the last shall be first.
Mat 20:16 So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many be called, but few chosen.
My hands are opened to bless, to give, and to heal. I bring reward with Me. You are earnestly awaiting an answer to your prayer and a release of a shower of blessing. You see those that are receiving grace and favor and you wonder why it is that your prayers have not propelled you into the prosperous, in all things, condition you desire. I am choosing what is best for you. Do not fail to see with spiritual eyes what I am doing.
Little one, I cross My hands of blessing at will. I long to see you secure in My love and acknowledge that I am no respecter of persons. My favor and recompense is based upon you recognizing that apart from Me you can do no good thing but merely as I bid and enable.
It is not your length of days laboring in My Kingdom that I am generous toward, but that your heart fully understands that I give and I withhold according to what is best for you as well as others who need to receive Me as Jehovah-Jireh, GOD our provider.
Keep your eyes cast upon Me.
With Love Eternal,
Jesus
When our personal wants and desires become larger than our call to glorify God in all things at all times we step back and allow Him to take rightful helm and pray that His will be done accordingly to the standard of heavenly life rather than earthly living.

Mat 19:29 And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life.
My beloved one, I see what you have given up for Me. I know your sacrifice. I know your loyalty is to Me. I know how you continue to put Me first in all things. I know that you have counted the cost and have answered Me with love and surrender in all things.
The things that you have forsaken for Me to follow Me have been written on My heart. Every decision you have made to serve and follow is a sweet and savory offering to Me. Others may not fully understand what you have offered to Me in your desire to follow Me fully, but child, what is important is that I know the struggles that occurred, the sense of loss, and the full coming of joy for the guidance and closeness it has given you. I will continue to give you the proof afterward that you indeed lost nothing, but gained more of Me.
I am reminded of the clashes you have had in order to glorify Me and serve Me. For this I assure you that I will not disappoint you for surrendering these things into My hands and letting Me work out the details of your life and where best you might serve Me. I am pleased with your dedication to Me.
With Love Eternal,
Jesus
Who alone but the Lord knows the thoughts and the actions that followed that cost us greatly to follow Him fully. Praise be to His name that He overshadows us with His love and His guidance that we might do the works He has sent us to do to His glorious name.

Mat 19:16-22 And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life? And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments. He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. The young man saith unto him, All these things have I kept from my youth up: what lack I yet? Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me. But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions.
You, child, are a firm believer in eternal life. You walk in the ways of the Commandments. There was no errand as important as bringing salvation to man but through Me. You know though that it is not keeping the letter of the Law that saves you. It is by faith in Me and grace extended unto you that you have eternal life. My blood shed made way for you.
What you are not yet willing to do for Me brings Me grief, but not execution by the Law. If I have freely pardoned your sins, and extended to you grace until you would walk in perfection of life. Keep the Law, yes, but let Me enlarge you and teach you the way of the Spirit led life.
Do not go away sorrowful at this new thing that I have impressed upon you to do. I am asking you now to walk in fullness of eternal life. I have come to give you abundant life. My everlasting Kingdom is a journey that you have accepted and I bid you ever continue to subdue the flesh by force. Hear, My voice, beloved, and continue to strive for the strait gate and narrow way.
With Love Eternal,
Jesus
I am assured that our journey, until we reach our eternal destination, is only as good as we listen to the Good Shepherd and obey. May we all hear His voice and follow Him.

Mat 19:13-15 Then were there brought unto him little children, that he should put his hands on them, and pray: and the disciples rebuked them. But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven. And he laid his hands on them, and departed thence.
Surely, you must know how very much I love children. How I love your children. How I long that you be My very hands to impart love and security to them, as well as the laying on of the hands to pass on the power and blessings of My Kingdom.
Never discount human touch and never underestimate the value of a child to hold My heartstrings. Teach them all about Me that they may have more than moral foundation but the living Christ who shall abide within them.
Never fail to seek My blessings and wholeness for each child you encounter.
With Love Eternal,
Jesus
How many opportunities pass us by when we fail to bring unto Jesus each child we have opportunity to do so? May each child cause us to pray that our loving Savior touch their lives as He has touched ours.

Mat 19:5-11 And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh? Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder. They say unto him, Why did Moses then command to give a writing of divorcement, and to put her away? He saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so. And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery. His disciples say unto him, If the case of the man be so with his wife, it is not good to marry. But he said unto them, All men cannot receive this saying, save they to whom it is given.
My beloved one, your heart weeps as Mine also does. I understand your anguish. I understand your pain. I understand your betrayal. I know you inside and out.
When that one flesh has been torn asunder so that it is now two fleshes, this is a separation in which you will carry the invisible spiritual scar tissue for the remaining years of your life upon this earth.
Thou shalt have no other gods before Me. Will you trust Me that I am still with you? That I Am all you need? That I will never fail or forsake you? That I will not turn My back on you and desert you as Your mate has done?
Set aside that bitterness so that it take no root in you and causes your feet to stumble. Live apart with Me as I attend to your wants and needs and as I keep you from complicating your life with a new choice and decision in which you are contemplating. There is nothing outside of My realm of influence regarding your life and My desire that You be made whole. I have heard your prayers. I will guide you.
I ask you to wait upon Me, feel My all encompassing love, and see My direction for you. I have not abandoned you. Listen for that voice as one who cries out in the wilderness.
With Love Eternal,
Jesus
With a sincere heart, let us draw close to God as we allow Him reign in our life, and in those we love, and as we pray for marriages that come before our attention.

About Me
- editor
- Statement Of Faith: 1.) I believe that the Bible is the inspired Word of God, without error as originally given; it is the final and infallible authority in matters of faith and practice. 2.) I believe in the Trinity, one God is Three Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. 3.) I believe that Jesus Christ is God in the flesh, that He was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, died on the cross to pay the penalty for our sins, and rose bodily and literally on the third day. 4.) I believe man is by nature lost and in need of a Savior. By repenting of sin and accepting Jesus Christ as our Savior (by faith alone), we become right with God: our sins are forgiven, heaven is our home, and we will live with our Lord and other believers for ever. Good works may evidence our salvation, but we are saved by God's grace apart from our works. 5.) I believe that those who have not received Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior will be separated from God and experience His judgment forever. 6.) Jesus will one day return to to establish His Kingdom. He will judge the living and the dead.
