It is not for you to choose where you will serve. First of all, I have given you a particular bailiwick where I have desired for you to be, then, it is up to you to choose to go where I have called you to be, to be faithful to serve Me, no matter how challenging and difficult the circumstances or how few the rewards. It is only incumbent on you to be faithful to follow after Me, to set your foot into the place where My foot has trod, all the way to the Calvary suffering and sacrifice that I have already chosen for you.
It is not a call placed on the many, but it is the CALL I have chosen for you and the manner in which you are to ‘…take up your cross, daily, to deny yourself,’ and to FOLLOW where I will lead, and it is the manner in which you will give GLORY to the Father, through your obedience to Me.
The will of the Father and My will for you are one and the same. There are not two competing wills that are in opposition to one another. In the same way, your will must be one with Mine, to be ONE with the Father, to give Him the GLORY that is due Him, in and through MY NAME.
Do not think to take up your cross, only to lay it down, before you have accomplished, through it, all that is asked of you, all that I and the Fathe desire for you to do. Many hearts and lives have grown cold to the anvil ring of TRUTH in the Gospel message, but as you proclaim it by your very life, countless souls will be cut to the quick and the veils over their hearts and minds will be torn asunder allowing the LIGHT of the Gospel message that illuminates MY FACE to shine forth in all its splendor and Glory.
You, FOLLOW Me.

Choosing who you will serve is of vital importance ~ and with whom you will serve. There are two masters ~ and you cannot serve both, for you will hate the one, and love the other, or love the one and hate the other. Very similarly, those you serve with must choose to serve the One you serve or the association with them will turn you away from the One you serve, no matter how well-meaning your relationship or friendship is with them.
Only as you choose to serve the same One can your relationships strengthen and sustain you in serving the same One. Then, you will grow together toward the One you serve, rather than grow apart from one another and away from the One you choose to serve.
Always, there are two ways ~ and the choice is yours as to which way you will go, whether the broad and easy way, or the narrow, more challenging, and difficult way. The odds will be against you serving well if you and your companions are not both on the same path, in total agreement about which path you choose as you serve.
The choice to serve Me, to take the narrow way, must be made individually and personally, but also corporately, as a body, so that there will be oneness of heart and purpose, seeking solely to travel together in unified service to accomplish goals that may be complementary, and will together build up the Kingdom in which you have chosen to serve. Otherwise, there will be a tearing down, a diminishing, and disintegration of the Kingdom, and there will be chaos and conflict, with no peace.
My desire is for peace among you and those you serve with, in the bond of My Love.

Stay with Me, My Child. Listen. Wait. Savor the silence. Stop the seeking and searching within or without. Be STILL~ and come to really KNOW that I AM your GOD.
Learn the lesson of the Saints, to be quiet and still before Me. To cease the mental activity as well as the physical ‘doing.’ Learn to do nothing, to sit, to be still, to be silent, to quiet your heart and mind, to learn the value of ‘being’ instead of ‘doing.’
There is a time and place for each, but more and more I invite and call you to stillness and silence that you might more readily recognize and KNOW Me, in the depths of your inner being, that I might dwell in you so that you might dwell in Me.
To hear all that I might say to you requires the grace to be still, to be quiet, in heart and mind ~ and body. Only those who practice it can achieve any level of contemplation and surrender into that place of KNOWING Who I AM, to the depths of their inner selves. Only then can I be KNOWN, LOVED, and SERVED.
To serve out of duty it to not truly KNOW Me. To serve out of LOVE is to know and experience communion with Me. And, so we become ONE, in the self-same way as the Father and I are ONE. One in being, in a way that transcends the known to reach the unknown.
This level of communion with ME eludes the many, who major on ‘doing’ for Me, rather than on ‘being’ with ME.
