Facing your fears

#33     Sept. 6, 2012, Thursday, before the Blessed Sacrament at St. Theresa’s 10a.m.

You don’t appreciate the little crosses I let you carry.  You would be delighted to be rid of them.  But they are meant to show you how much I love you.  They are not sent to test you, but to bring you closer to My Cross.  How can you endure My Cross if you can’t abide your crosses.

I need your attention. Do not waiver from looking at Me and being with Me.  Do not let your crosses get in the way of our union.

Certainly the devil wants you to keep away from sitting before Me in adoration so he will put your body into a state that is not comfortable. 

But isn’t My love more attractive and fulfilling than your uncomfortableness.  It is all about fear.  You fear feeling this way, so perhaps if you avoided this place you wouldn’t feel this way – you would feel better – that is the wily devil working on your fears.

But does not my argument have more clout?  Do you not want to be in the presence of All Truth, All Love, All Mercy no matter how you may be feeling?

It comes to this.  Who is the center of your life?  What will you permit to be the center of your life?  Your fears or My love?  It is true.  That is as plain as I can say it.

You want to run from this instead of embracing it.

I am here and you are here.  Now this uneasiness comes over you.  Do you leave seeking some relief from that false god?  Or are you willing to face it with Me by your side?

A mean question?  eh?

You have to choose.  Is it all about Me or all about you?

I will leave this with you to contemplate.

I love you, I love you, I love you.  Open your heart to this immense love that cures, heals, is merciful and brings abundant peace.
