“That is why for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.”(2 Corinthians 12:10)
My personal story of conversion includes a baptism of fire. A year long trial of deep pain and illumination of my own conscience that led to a state of purification from evil things I once deemed acceptable. I would have never come to Jesus without that, as “the world” tends to provide creature comforts that lead to complacency. I believed humanity had all of the answers. It turns out it’s humanity that causes all of the problems, and the only way, the only way we’re going to come to redemption is through our Lord and Savior. Not the government, not our friends and family. There will always be someone out there who has our backs as much as they possibly can, but as all of us are deeply flawed, there will be times in our lives when our only recourse from pain and trials is through Our Lord. That’s when He will and does, open Himself up to us fully, and gives us a safe place not just to serve, but to rest in a sense of peace in that service as we work through, with and in him. Our Lord tells Gianna below; “You want your crown of jewels without sharing in the jewels of the thorns! Take first My thorns, and you will not desire the jewels.” That is so very powerful, and so so true. All conversion takes place at the foot of the cross. In reflection of His passion, death and resurrection. In the fact that He went all the way for us that we might live in His perfect light. Now is the time, precious souls. The time for us to return the favor. To endure for Him that He might live through us. “Through Him, with Him and in Him in the unity of the Holy Spirit.” Where all glory and honor is His. In perfect love. Totus Tuus.❤️🙏

Endurance
“My dear one, you will not be able to endure any hardship
unless you have patience! In this world, you need the
protection of spiritual weapons because you will never be free
from different sorts of misery.
Bear all for My sake, but know that you will not always
gain the comfort you desire at the time you want it! Even My
Saints endured much pain and sorrows. They were tested, and
also experienced temptations. You will no be any different.
it is the same for all MY people. Endure these hardships for
My sake. Remove yourself and the desire of your self image,
and have confidence in Me.
I will be with you in all your trials. Know that, when you
experience anxieties, humiliation, disappointments, difficul-
ties, temptations, injuries, sickness, endure them in patience.
will strengthen you in virtue – the graces to be held for
those who have confidence and love for Me, those who do
not abandon their hope in Me. My Saints all were purified in
the same way.
It is so necessary to practice patience. Where are you run-
ning that you must hurry to the finish line?
Go at My pace. Face the obstacles on the road with
patience and gentleness of self, but in confidence that God
Will deliver you; and you shall appreciate crossing the finish
line far more, because your efforts will leave tracks for your
beloved to follow!
Take your time! There is no meaning of time, My people,
in Heaven, so do not set deadlines on your growth, or you
may be passing up the beauty. Fuel is needed to get you to
that finish line!! What happens if you think you’ve crossed
successfully? What then? You cannot do anything without
Me. If you cross, you still have to wait for Me! And after you
have raced to that finish line, avoiding and darting around the
obstacles instead of enduring with patience, your journey with
obstacles will only begin!
Have confidence in Me. Be at peace and know that all
journeys have crosses. They will include disappointments or
trials of some sort, but take courage. Move forward in hope
and confidence in Me. Give Me MORE of your love. Give
MORE, MORE AND MORE! Give through patience, the
surrender of love, acceptance and TRUST.
You want your crown of jewels without sharing in the jewels
of the thorns! Take first My thorns, and you will not desire
the jewels. Never be distracted from My love through trusting
someone other than Me. Never lose your focus. If you lose it,
refocus because you will NOT go unwounded if you are NOT
grounded in My love through patience. I love you, so I teach
you, to help you, so I can bless you with My virtue.
Be strong and have confidence in your God. Do not run
away. Walk slowly! The end of time will not commence without Me,
and I will wait for you. I’ve been waiting and I will
continue to wait until completely denied. Peace. Ad Deum.”
