Message form Mother Mary

My dear children,

I come to you today with a heart filled with hope, love and joy. Many of you have in the past months been having difficult times. It was, and still is, a time of transformation. Transformation is not always easy. Often, transforming in a global way is painful. I come with the good news that your time of pain is almost over. Transformation is a powerful way to change. It means you can adapt, be remolded, and converted. You are recreated into a new being. Transformation is associated with healing. Transformation of the soul is one of the greatest pieces of work you can do. For to transform your soul is to recreate, remold, and reinvent it. You do this by seeking the truth in all situations and circumstances. You cannot transform if you stay in denial, blind to the need to change. You cannot recreate yourself unless you see the need to do so. Many people have transformed their inner self by the healing of addictions, obsessions, and compulsions.

I use the word ³addiction² not only to mean the need for alcohol or narcotics, but also the word is used to mean anything that habitually keeps you from God. This could be your family, if you put them first, your religion when you limit God to one belief system, and to behavior patterns that interfere with your connection to God. So many times people think that I am speaking about their brother, sister, or neighbor. They let my words pass over them without looking to see how the message applies to their lives. I would have you seek ways to transform your life through prayer, meditation, forgiving, and becoming more peaceful. No one can give you peace; it is something you must seek and cultivate into your life.

Often people will say, when I get my new job, or after I am married, or when my health gets better, or when my finances improve, then I will seek peace. I am not asking you to stop living, but to live from your spirit. In your spirit, deep within your soul, is the strength to overcome life¹s challenges, the fortitude to continue to seek peace in your heart of hearts when there is strife and contention in your life and surroundings. In your spirit is the serenity to accept the unchangeable, the courage to change the things you can, and wisdom enough to look honestly at your life. Within your spirit there is integrity, truth, and the love of God. Deep within your spirit is all that you need to live fearlessly, lovingly, and in peace.

What often keeps you from being at peace is pride. Pride has its place in you, but when it keeps you stuck in the past, or dishonest about the present, it is a deterrent and not a help. If pride keeps you from forgiving or loving, it is a stumbling block. Where there is war, seek ways of coming into peace. I am not talking about war between countries, as much as I am speaking of the inner wars you wage, and the strife that is so prevalent in families. All God asks of you is that you do your best, to be sincere and earnest, and to be truthful about all things, including yourself. Then leave the results to Him. Let God help you come out of denial, out of despair, out of unhappiness. Allow God to bolster your courage, truth, strength, and love. Allow God to help you go past your barriers, past your pain, past your unhappiness.

He will surely help you because all He awaits is an invitation into your life. With each situation that needs transforming, ask God to help all who are involved. Some people can be transformed in a moment and without any difficulty or pain. Yet others must struggle to make the slightest changes. Do not judge how long it takes, simply work towards being remolded so that every part of your life is lived in Truth, and in God¹s love. The length of time it requires an individual to change does not indicate his or her spirituality. It simply means that each person lives on their own timetable.

Often people think it is better to struggle or suffer in order to serve God. That is false. God loves, and in His love He would not have any person suffer. Jesus often likened God¹s love for all of us as the love a good father has for his children. Do you think that a good father would want to see his children suffer? Why then do you persist in believing that it is better to suffer in order to serve God.

If you only believe this one thing, the belief that God does anything but love, then you will have changed much. In humanity it is ingrained that God is angry and punishes. The real truth is that He only loves and is always at peace. To imitate this would be to change your world instantly. It would change not only your world but your relationships, your family, and your environment.

You have the freedom to choose; make the choice to transform, to recreate your inner world to one of peace. You do this by eliminating your inner strife. Too often you berate, castigate, and harass yourself over mistakes. If each day when you arise you choose to be transformed into a peaceful, loving person, it will happen for you in its own time.

When you can choose to do nothing or to forgive, then forgive. When it comes time to acknowledge your failings, forgive yourself and strive to do better. When you find yourself in stressful situations, invite God to help you cope, to teach you how to cope in graceful and loving ways.

Now my children, I would have you remember that you can only change yourself. That each person on earth has the freedom to choose as you do. So to set yourself up as an authority on how your loved ones should change is to be in denial of how you can change. Remember that just as there is more strength, fortitude, and wisdom within you, it is there in your loved ones. How you help others, is to pray for them and then work on yourself and the issues that are between you.

When you are at peace, stay there. Do not be provoked into losing your peaceful center. And if you do step out of your peacefulness, do all you can to return by: acknowledging the issue, forgiving yourself and whoever else is involved, and by returning to a place of love.

Even when you are angry, or betrayed, work towards eliminating the emotion and going past it to a forgiveness that also forgets.

You can do this, my children. It is within you to do this.

Remember always that God loves you without limit and without condition.

Mary,

Mother of Jesus.
