          “The journey to eternal life in heaven is not easy.  It is a daily battle against the flesh that always seeks the easy way out.  In order to subdue the flesh, you must spend your days aware of My presence within you.

          I am here to hep you, to instruct you, to lead and guide you, but you must ask for My help.  Continue to discipline your day around My presence within you.  It is a lonely and dying road in this worldly age, but the narrow road still beckons souls to trek to sainthood apart from the world.  “Narrow is the road to life and few there be that find it.

          Do not think that holiness requires no effort on your part.  You must decisively turn away from the world to seek My face.  This is no easy task when the fleshly appetites are the lot of every soul on earth.  It is a warfare between spirit and flesh.  You must choose.

          Love opens the door to the path.  The more your love is kindled, the less the world appeals to you.  You then seek the higher life, the royal road, the highway to heaven where the saints and angels live.  They long to help you on your journey.  Ask for their prayers and assistance.

          How many days do you have left on earth?  You do not know.  Time is extremely short, and eternity is forever.  If only man would fathom this life-changing truth!

          Live for heaven!  Forget the earth – it is temporary.  Strive manfully for the prize of an eternal reward.  You will then stand before Me unashamed at the judgment seat on that final day of your life on earth.  You will be welcomed heartily, and your soul shall rejoice.

          Keep the faith.  Keep a heavenly perspective.  Keep asking.  Keep seeking.  Keep knocking.”

Jesus,

Your Gentle Friend
