Message from Jesus Christ given to Visionary Maureen Sweeney-Kyle in North Ridgeville, USA

"I am your Jesus, born Incarnate. My sister, I have come to help you see that all things in this life are passing and temporary, just as the breeze wisps across your face. The only things that last are faith, hope and love, and the greatest of these is love."

"How foolish then for anyone to be concerned for their reputation amongst men. The one who chases his reputation is like the virgin who comes to meet her bridegroom, but has no oil in her lamp. The oil would be the love in her heart at the time of judgment. The lamp may be a marvelous reputation for virtue amongst those in the world. But all of this comes to naught without love."

"The simple soul does not chase his reputation. He does not wish to be held in high esteem by anyone except Me. He does not try to act holy to impress others. He does not boast about the spiritual favors he is given. Rather, in humility he desires to be hidden and counted as nothing. Further, he is not spiritually envious of the gifts others receive. This is a spiritual ambition which is not from good, but from evil."

"My favor rests upon the one who seeks no acknowledgment in the world, but rather out of love for Me, seeks only to please Me. In any favor he receives, he immediately gives honor and glory to Me. A person can expend much energy chasing his reputation, but in the end it is between the soul and Me. I search the heart for Holy Love at the last breath. The degree of love, or the lack thereof, determines the soul's eternity."
