“I am your Jesus, born Incarnate. Today, I desire that you contemplate the Two Great Commandments that comprise Holy Love–specifically, love God above all else and your neighbor as yourself. The soul who seeks to keep these Commandments must have God first and foremost in his heart. He can and will have other desires, but they must not consume his heart.”

“These are some ways Satan divides the heart and takes the soul away from Holy Love. The first is unforgiveness which leads to bitterness. Such a heart cannot love with an unencumbered effort. Impatience and anger are other obstacles which also has its roots in too much self-interest–‘poor me–look what happened to me'.”

“Jealousy and love of worldly goods presents another obstacle. Everything the world offers is permitted by God–some good, some evil. The good is there to appreciate but not to love. The evil must be renounced if the soul seeks holiness.”

“Too much self-love (pride) leads to love of worldly reputation and love of one's own opinion. I do not judge according to what others say or think about you, but by the effects of Holy Love in your heart and in your life.”

“Remember, the commandment states ‘love your neighbor as you love yourself'. Then understand that self-hatred is never justified in My Eyes. It is only when the love of self takes on more importance than love of God and neighbor that it becomes inordinate self-love.”

“In every heart lies the potential for holiness. Every present moment is an opportunity to practice Holy Love. Begin and continue now.”
