Volume IV Lesson #56

TRUE IDENTITY
Here I am, My dear one, once again in your presence in order to give words of Love to My people. As you grow in My grace of humility day by day, you grow more in self-love day by day. The essence of your being becomes a reality of beauty, not lost in the wilderness, but making a statement of love of God.
The only way to gain true identity of yourself is to lose it, losing the falsehoods of what you believe constitutes self-identity. Loss of control is gaining control; allowing Me to have a deep, unified relationship with you; being at peace with yourself through hardships and aloneness; having confidence and trust in your God and avoiding all that magnifies your false image of centeredness.
To be solid in love, you must be solid in your love of yourself the way I desire you to love. You know not love if you do not know Me! If you know Me, you would not be afraid of losing your identity. You would know yourself in My Love. Tomorrow will come; and if you worry in anxiety, you then block the relief of My graces. You control whether you choose to continue listening to the falsehoods your own inner state presents.
Put all useless thoughts to the side. Rest. Be at peace through the rest of this day created by God, and be with Me. You are not alone. I am here with you. You feel alone, but I am with you at all times when you feel My Presence and, also, when I hide this grace from you. I am nonetheless with you. Call on Me. I will strengthen you.
Each day you get closer and closer to the abyss of My treasures, where tears do not exist. So be patient. Accept the state you are in; acknowledge where you are in Me; and be quiet. Be still, and be open only to Me. Listen to your Shepherd’s song. The rest is a grace, My grace, I give to you.
Soon you, My people, will see that you are very special and beautiful, individually created in My Love; and where your love is, is where you are! Do not fight change in your inner self. I am with you, creating a new, real identity for you, the identity of the true you; the Love of God in you where you will not need to seek outside sources to support your image, but will be one with Me in your love of self in Me!
Be at peace. This change takes time, a time calculated in God’s Hands. Be careful not to run ahead, or to return to your old ways. Just be with Me where you are. More graces are about to descend upon you. You are close to the mountain tops. Fear would like you to turn away, for where you are in your journey, fear cannot come. Pay not attention to fear! Face fear, and push right through fears, illusions of struggles and impossibilities.
I am not illusion! I am real, and I am here with you! There are parts you must walk through yourself, with Me, instead of Me carrying you. This is so that you can share in My treasures. Come now. Hope is awaiting!
Peace and Love, My people. Ad Deum
