He must increase

“There are many things I want to share.  One of these is to keep close watch on My words.  When reading the bible let My words seep into your heart.  Do not try to figure them out or see if they apply to you.  Just let them seep into your heart.  Just treasure them because I have spoken them.

Certainly, sometimes they will jump off the page and speak to your soul, but don’t read looking for a message.  Read knowing that in each word of Mine there is a message.  The message first and foremost is of love.  I share My words with you because I love you and want to nourish your heart and soul to the fullest. 

Think about when you eat certain foods you eat to nourish the body and you hardly ever ‘break down’ what this or that food is doing for the good of your body.

That is how I want you to read My word – know that it is necessary for your heart and soul and just read it.  You don’t have to read a lot, but as you read remember and praise me for the fact that I want to share My truths with you.  Don’t look for any hidden meaning.  If I want you to see something I will let you know.

For instance you read at Mass John 3 “He must increase and I must decrease” and it popped out at you that this is what you are endeavoring to do – to let you decrease and let Me increase.  You have been affirmed again by My words to everyone that this is what I call you as a servant to do. 

I do not ask you to decrease to belittle you.  No such thing.  I ask you to be willing to decrease so I will increase in you and you will be My heart and hands in this world.  As long as you stay in you, I will not grow – My graces cannot flourish, people will not get to know Me. 

So your will has to be, if you wish to serve Me, let go of the limited you and let the infinite Me shine forth from you to others.  You are my watering vessel.  Unless you serve as you have been created to do == to love== none of My water of love will flow forth. 

Let go of feeling that obedience means subjugation – nonsense.”
