That, My child, is what I ask. I ask you to follow Me. My way is not the way of the world, My way is the way to eternal life. I am the Way. I am the Truth. I am the Life. He who abides in Me will have eternal life.

Fear not, fret not, do My Will. I call you to obedience. I call you to love, not as you see love, loving those whom you please, being angry and holding on to grudges, holding on to pleasures that you do not need. This is not love of Me or love of My beloved ones! I call you to being Christ-like, holy as a saint, living life as I want you to live it, not as you want to live it. The war on this earth will only be fought with surrender and love, surrendering yourself and loving as I teach you to love. You are so willful! You do your own will and then tell yourself you are serving Me. Serving Me is doing My Will. It is acting in My ways. It is love, real love of God and love of one another. Love is not selfish, love does not seek its own way, love gives to the other. I call you to love. This demands selflessness and studying My ways. Oh, come to Me after Communion and in front of the tabernacle. I want to teach you this very day. Your time is borrowed. I lend it to you. All works out when you spend an hour with Me.

You are so willful. You want My time I lend to you. You do not want to spend an hour with Me. That is why you don't. You don't want to sit after Communion. My way is the only way. Listen and be taught or do your own thing and reap the benefits of doing what you want.

I am God. I call you to put aside your willfulness and open your hearts to My way. My way I make clear in front of the tabernacle and after Communion. Will you be willful or do My Will. I call you. Do you answer?
