          “Mornings of reflection yield a protective covering over your day.  The morning hour is the time of instruction, teachings from heaven’s realms.  It is given to the attentive and disciplined listener.  Listening to My words leads to a holy life, living out your day peacefully in My will.  To neglect your morning prayer is a great detriment to all the actions of your day.  You lose the eternal focus.  You open yourself to distractions and false perceptions.

          You are attending the school of holiness.  To achieve your end, you must show up for class every morning.  What student would learn anything if he attended school haphazardly?  The same is true in the school of spirituality.  You must show up with a listening ear to hear what the teacher wants to impart to you.

          Those that have entered the contemplative state live in the school of holiness; they do not just show up in the morning.  They wait at the feet of the Master all day, hanging on His every utterance, glorying in His wisdom.  These are those that have desired “the best part” – union with God in this life as intimate and closely united as is possible.  They shall certainly receive their reward – these that have made a covenant with Me by sacrifice.

          My dearest daughter, these morning hours are your lifeline to My graces, all stored up for you.  Come to Me with open arms every morning that I may lay My spiritual food upon your heart.  Every day Ruth gleaned in the fields of Boaz and it ended in a beautiful betrothal.  Isn’t that what you seek?

          You are preparing for our wedding day.  You are gathering your trousseau day by day, storing up eternal riches for that nuptial banquet in the sky.”

 Your Ministering Spouse,

Jesus
