Victory will, at great cost, be complete

With all the world turmoil – war, financial, ideology, family values, identity – I still have this sense that in this place within You remains peace, and prosperity, and a heart that is settled within a larger heart. It’s not that I am unconcerned with these things but more I desire to rest within the One that has a wisdom of these things; and I choose to not panic but to follow this wisdom. Within this place lies my hope that the world will soon come to know this place too – this peace, this joy, this power to overcome all that would destroy a heart and will to live.

War moves within the ideals of man, as if war is the only means to what is right, what should be expressed, what should reign. Yet war does not come from a heart that is pure but from a place of evil. It is inevitable when seeing a heart that believes in its own goodness, unaware that it has judged itself and found its own heart acceptable.

How can goodness reign coming from a heart of evil? It cannot, for it cannot come from a heart that is not Mine. Love does not war, goodness does not war for both have already overcome – there is no war to be won. Yet evil will always fight for it has no choice in believing this is the only way for it to survive. Yet it has already lost.

So it is within men’s hearts: they struggle to find a foothold of peace, a place of rest and prosperity, yet not seeing that these great desires have already been provided if they would but open their eyes to the One who has given them. I have spoken these words to the heart of man for eons yet they still refuse to listen, as if they have no control over the direction of destiny.

Yet I will not strive for the heart of man forever. There will come a time of My rest within all men, when they will know My presence, My peace, and will give themselves to our Kingdom. Or they will not, and My heart will be broken at their loss. For I would have all to come, if they would come, for I cherish all and would have them with Me. Yet I know that will not be; My heart is broken at My loss too. Yet I rejoice in those I have, for I have given all that they would be Mine and I cherish all, as I cherish you. And in that time of My rest, all war will cease, all struggle for life will end, all goodness revealed. Victory will, at great cost, be complete.

Yet I will wait a little longer for there are many that would still come, as war always harms the innocent the greatest, and they would flee to Me. I would not have it this way, but this is the way of man: it seems only in his desperation does he seek Me. Has your life not moved in the same way? It is through events that perhaps you did not choose, did not desire, through a hope for something different than what you were then currently experiencing that you came to Me. And so will many others. It has always been so.
