“You must be beautiful inside in order to be beautiful outside!
Only He, who has created you, knows what you need most to
make you beautiful through purification. It is like heating metals
in fire to make them into perfected instruments. I use people and
various other sources, all related in one form or another to you,
to purify you. Your response dictates your progress.”(From Gianna below)

We can’t serve God in a state of deep sin as I was before my first “purification,” which I was very blessed to have been warned about just before it happened. I’ve gone through other phases of purification through the spirit, but when our sin runs deep, He sometimes has to put us through “the fire” to get us to a state of grace where we can understand and reflect His will. I know that many people truly become “purified” in jail even. They gain humility, experience, wisdom, and usually as a story of conversion that will also serve them and Him once they do come into the light. Some purification happens through deep pain, like the death of a child or loved one. I see many every day who use that, the deepest pain possible, to bring God into peoples souls, and through that pain comes the greatest wisdom and love through which He can work through us. We are all eternal beings, and we all pass through this realm in a very short time. Our loved ones are only lost for a short time before we become reunited in heavenly bliss, but it is how we use that short time that will determine how that will go in the eternal sense. We are all called to service in love. We can work with God, or we can hinder our own progress and that of others by avoidance. I pray that we all allow ourselves to be purified through our pain and stress, whether it be great or small, that we might stay in His will, and serve Him as He has, and will prepare us to do as we walk each other through this life. In perfect love. ❤️🙏

Novices
“My child, troubles will come and will pass, and they
will move in and out of your path like a tide that rolls
in at full moon; but do not despair. If you knew the glory to
come, you would not complain of your burden now. Even if
you look at the saints in the past, they have all now gained
the glory of heaven, but suffered much trouble and difficulties
in their mortal lives.
Take all your shortcomings, for one difficulty offered with
love and faithful commitment to Me is the greatest grain of
the harvest. You know I have kept a watchful eye over you
and notice your NOVICE actions of despair. I keep watch over
all My dear ones in commitment of My love for you. Now, at
moments when you feel trapped and confused, you lose sight
of calling on Me. You submerge yourself in self pity.
Take pride in your God! Be silent. Be patient and endure
all burden, for it is delegated through the hand of God. Noth-
ing will happen that God’s hand is not also there.
You must be beautiful inside in order to be beautiful outside!
Only He, who has created you, knows what you need most to
make you beautiful through purification. It is like heating metals
in fire to make them into perfected instruments. I use people and
various other sources, all related in one form or another to you,
to purify you. Your response dictates your progress.
All my people are novices in this life, no matter what age,
no matter what experience or wisdom is given. You will never
achieve the experience of knowledge of the mystical Kingdom
until you dwell in My house, face to face in ecstatic union
with the Trinity. Even your most well known scholars are
novices, for no one knows perfection until total union exists
of the Divinity in each of you.
So once again, I ask you to be patient. Go slowly and trust
in Me. It is at these moments of hardship that your commit-
ment in faith and the direction of your love is most needed to
be tempered and focused on Me. You are important vessels of
love in this world. Take courage and do not despair, for what
awaits you in heaven will overcome all moments of hardship
now. Believe in Me!”
