Jesus loves me.

#21a     Aug. 9, 2012, 12:16 am – (Just going to bed and the Lord asked me to write).

I have come to you now to reveal a most important teaching to you. 

Do not be shy to look at it and make it a central part of your life.  It is like starting over and isn’t each day I give you just that --  a chance to start over, start afresh.

Do not be bold with Me and surmise that you already know what I am about to tell you.  Don’t even try to guess.

Just continue to write the words I dictate to you and listen to My voice speak in your head from My heart to your heart.

Be open to all people.  Do not turn anyone away.  Do not judge anyone  --  that is My honor alone.

Be still, be quiet, listen to the silence of silence.  Do you hear your heart beat?  Yet it is beating.  See how My silence works.  You do not need to hear something and then hear nothing to realize the depth of My silence.  The blood running through your veins – do you hear it?  Your hair, fingernails growing – do you hear them?  Your skin renewing itself – do you hear it?  This is the ultimate of My silent work – My creation which you can’t hear, yet which is the very basis of My creation. 

We stop to listen to nature, but this is not the essential part of My creation.  It is the silence of life being created minute by minute – unheard by human ear, yet quite essential to each person’s existence.

Stop, sit, be calm, evaluate yet do not evaluate, sit, be quiet, be silent, grow, learn, share, be still, be quiet.  Caution your mind and imagination.  They must not lead you onto roads that I have asked you not to go on.  Do not try to outrun Me.  I will not be, I cannot be outdone.  So do not waste your time and energy trying to succeed at a truly impossible task.

Hear My voice from the depths of your heart.  Hear My longing to be heard and shared.  Do not hesitate to share Me with others.  I need to reach others.  Please be My voice.  You don’t think you should or could.  Yet I am asking you.  You are not doing this of your own volition.  You are just being asked to be obedient to My request.  Have you hesitated before when I have asked?  Will you continue to hesitate when I kindly ask.

I do not want to credit you with honor.  I want you to honor Me by sharing My words with others. 

You think the things I ask you to write are confusing and not logical in sequence.   Do I care?  Absolutely not.  I know what needs to be said.  I know who needs to hear, so thus you will not be acclaimed for writing this.  Fear not that others may think this a jumble of thoughts.  They come from the Lord, your God, and thus are only Truth profound. 

I do not have to make human sense.  I need to draw others to Me.  They cannot be reached on a human level.  Thus what seems like meandering phrases and thoughts to you contain the wisdom of ages.  Your human thoughts do not formulate in the same way.  So, please do not try to make My words to you look good to others or make sense to others.  I know whom I wish to touch and reach.  I know the key to each person’s heart and they will have their hearts unlocked by the key contained in My truths.

Please, be obedient.  Please, do not worry if it makes sense or not.  Does it make sense that you are writing these words of Mine?  Did you ever think I would ask you to do this?

Well I have and you have been obedient each time I have asked because you know it is Me asking you, not just a whim of yours to put down some pretty words on paper.

Pretty words are not always truth-filled words but appeal to the human senses.  I want to appeal to the spiritual soul of each reader.  I want them to know that I will speak to and through them if they will let Me.

Keep close to the Cross.  Therein lies My super-abundant love.  Therein you will find all respite.  Therein you will find the fullness of our relationship.

Unless you recognize the Grace of the Cross, you will not realize My love for you.  Do not avoid the Cross – run to it, embrace it, claim it as your rock and fortress.  Hail it as all salvation.

What have I said that has touched you?  Just “I love you” should be your battle cry, your mantra.  Not you saying it to Me, but Me, Jesus, saying it to you.  Your phrase is so limited by how you feel, who is around, what others may think.

My phrase “I love you” is all everyone ever has to know and hold onto.

Jesus loves me is the battle cry, not Jesus loves me even with my warts and wrinkles, even with my stubbornness, etc. You see when you add these extra words – you put YOU in the picture—you take control of My love.   I do not want these fluffy phrases.  I just want you to repeat over and over “Jesus loves me”, so your heart will expand and grow and almost burst with the love I want you to have, to know, to live in, to rejoice in.  (‘O girl will you ever catch on?’) Don’t ask yourself this question because once again you have inserted yourself into My promise to you.

Do not clutter My simple truth-filled phrase with your extra trite questions.  Are you trying to show Me you are paying attention?  Well you aren’t otherwise you would be more than satisfied with My simple phrase which I want you to drown in “Jesus loves me.”

I see your tears and realize these are tears of overwhelming emotion because the simple phrase evokes this reaction in you.  Thank you for these tears of joy.  They touch My heart.  They are tears of realization of how much I want to give you.  They are tears, not of being undeserving, but of gratitude.  See I told you your heart would almost burst with this small phrase.

Now go to sleep and pray that others will come to know the depth of life in the phrase ‘Jesus loves me.”  Amen, alleluia, praise My Loving Lord.
