"Delivered!"

"The Cross! The Cross! Everything you need has been accomplished for you at the Cross! I have finished everything necessary for your salvation! I have done everything necessary to bring you home to Me in heaven!

"Behold My Son crucified for you! I have declared to you My character in My Son crucified for you—I am love, and I love you! I have shown you My nature—I gave My Son to accomplish what you could not, in order to have you for Myself forever! My character is this: I love you so much—even though you are imperfect—that I gave you My Son to be your perfection for you!

"You have been delivered from your sins—on the Cross!
Believe! And I will take care of the rest."

"Called Out"

"My children, I've gathered you together for this time. You don't know and are not able to see what I am doing, but I want you to know that it is not by chance that you have come together. I am with you and I am in you, and when you are together I am in your midst. Seek Me. Come together and wait on Me. I will bind you closer together and I will pour out My heart to you. In the same way I have brought you together, I have also brought together many others, whether you can see them or not. You are not alone!"

"Held By Trustworthy Hands"

"My child, I know that you want to give Me all of yourself. I know you want to surrender to Me completely and give me your whole heart. I know that you try. I know you are trying, and I know how far you feel. I know how far you feel from Me, and I know how frustrated you feel because you think you should be able to try harder to be close to Me.

"My child, trust in My hold on you instead of your hold on Me. I am stronger than you are. I will not let you fall. I hold you close to Me, and I bring you closer to Me. Rest here in My arms. There is nothing better that you can do than to rest in Me and trust in My hold on you. You don't need to try to get closer to Me; you need to rest and know that I already am close to you.

"In the same way, give Me your heart and leave it in My hands. You can give Me only so much of your heart. You are not able to surrender it fully. Only I can do that for you, and it is My job, not yours. As long as you focus on the degree or 'success' of your own surrender, you will feel far from Me and worry about falling to the ground. Choose to rest in Me instead."

"Free Indeed!"

"My dear children,

"When I told you that the truth would set you free, I did not mean that you have to convince yourself to like 'the truth' and be happy about it. I did not mean that you have to pretend to enjoy what is actually heavy to you. I did not mean that you have to smile and say you're doing fine when really inside you can't stand being fake.

"If the 'truth' tells you that you need to dress up and wear a smile, then it's not My truth. It's not Me. I would rather roll down grassy hills with you! I don't want your performance. I just want to be with you, and I want you to be free. Being with Me is your freedom, not learning a lot of 'truths' or laws or ways to behave.

"Come, be free."
