True Life in God
Notebook 95
Ah, my Lord Most High!
my eyes are fixed on You;
my whole mind and heart as well ....
You have truly captured
my heart in Your Divine Love
and in Your royal munificence.
and you Mine;
You are my only delight!
and you, My Vassula, you are My only
delight when your eyes look fervently,
with ardour and with love for Me .... to
have Me in your heart is Life;
Life is You ....
My Work,

hide in Me and rejoice in Me,
so enter into the delights of your
Saviour; I, the Lord, will reveal more of
My Heart to you;
come; I bless you;

Lord, Gracious One,
Come to me!
The bonds of death were all round me,
but You have stepped out of heaven
in Your Glorious manner
and with Splendour,
and in Your royal munificence
liberated me;
I had hands but they could not feel,
feet that did not walk,
a heart that did not beat,
and no sound ever came
from my throat to praise You;

from the heights towards me,
the unworthy one, to revive me,
and to transform me into a song
for You and Your House;

so that You may parade me
in Your Courts;
and with great glee
You taught me Your precepts;
You taught me that Integrity
should be used as my rod
fighting on Your side;
In Your Goodness
You made me penetrate
into Your motives
to be able to understand Your methods;
You have grafted me on Your Heart,
a gesture of espousals
so that You and I
take pleasure in Your Divine Love;
You taught me
to enter into Your Joy and to love You
so that when I speak of You,
I would speak of Your awesome Power,
recounting Your Greatness
and Your munificence.
ah, Vassula, sing to Me and be My harp
as well;
in My Love, I have given you life;
watching over, in My care, every breath
you took; My Word is Life; can anybody
say:
“God has not acted;”
in the light of grace I have veiled you, to
be Mine and in ceaseless contemplation
on My Heart;
unlike others who receive My Word as
a gift and whom I visit when I wish, I

It means, “I am clothed with Christ”.
