Notebook 9 True Life in God 45 intimate with you and have Me as your Holy companion; do you know of the parable of the prodigal son, Vassula? Yes, some of it. he had sinned, but how did his father receive him? With great joy? more than that, he received him with great love, and celebrated this event; grieve Me not, My beloved ones, and come back to Me; I will not refuse you; I will welcome you in My embrace; return to Me without fear; March 19, 1987 I am here; it is I, Jesus; Vassula, elevate yourself to Me; I want you to be perfect; delight Me and become perfect; are you willing to be perfect? (I was speechless.) I want you to be; I am asking you, Vassula; But Lord, to be perfect is quite impossible. As I am, to be close to being good is already something for me. Vassula, I will teach you to be perfect; I tell you truly that it is not impossible, but you must let Me mould you; abandon yourself completely to Me and I will form you into what I desire you to be; Jesus I don’t think I can ever be. I’m difficult to mould, it will be like trying to mould a rock. Vassula, ah Vassula, do you not trust Me? I am God and I can mould even the rocks into any shape I want; do you know why I have chosen you? Yes, Lord. here is still one more reason; I chose you because you are weak, and your weakness charms Me; child, come and feel My Heart, My Heart desires to be loved; come and feel My Heart with your mind; Vassula, are you ready? feel Me; (I was petrified.) grieve Me not, come and feel Me; you are not feeling Me; 1 No, I have not felt you; I had not the courage to do it. will you tell me your problem? It’s getting worse now. why? (I felt embarrassed because I felt so unworthy.) My embarrassment. I feel embarrassed to face You. Vassula, why? grieve Me not and tell Me your problem; I felt embarrassed to touch Your Heart. It’s like I saw myself as a leper coming to touch someone whole. who am I to approach You! every time you feel embarrassed I love you more; 2daughter, since we are united for eternity and you are Mine, I will allow Myself to penetrate deep inside 1 In the sense of sensing His Love. 2 I understood later on that He felt pleased that I realised my unworthiness.
