Making sense...

The day is long and the night goes quickly that is how I see life sometimes.

This seems a pointless remark for Me to say, says you.  It does not make any sense or convey an important message.  Yet I have asked you to write it down. Please do not ignore what I say even if it does not make sense.  It is the Lord who speaks and asks your obedience.  Don’t trouble yourself with the thought of having to explain what it means.  I asked you to write it and you did – that is the meaning. 

All that I say has a lesson whether it is just immediate obedience to My word, a gesture, a sign, a simple answer that someone reading will find.

It does not matter what I say.  It matters that I have said it.  How often do we tear My words apart, seeking their meaning instead of taking them for the value they are – they have come from Me to you, to all of you.

Read My words – just let them sink in without the need of lengthy explanation  -- the explanations are usually from humans and thus don’t hold the same strength as just My words.

If you are meant, at that moment in life, to have an explanation, I will give it to you.  But if not, just read My words because I said them.  They are profound, absolute Truth, enlightening, responsive, consoling, legitimate, extolling, guiding, explaining, needing to be heard because I said them.

This does not make Me important. It makes you fortunate to have words of Wisdom and Truth before your very eyes.  Don’t try to analyze it all.  Just hear the words, let them sit in your heart which has refuge in Mine --  let them BE.

Notice as we try to decipher “what did Jesus really mean?” we remove ourselves from His words and try to use ours or someone else’s to ‘explain’ what He means.

You don’t have to seek an explanation but you do have to treasure all that I have said. They are said by God-made-Man and they hold true for all eternity.  Do not try to break them down, but build them up, not by adding extra thoughts or words to them, but by believing in them, using them as the Truth you stand on. 

If people do not get the Truths I have said, they will not grasp the eternal Truth even when you try to break it down.  They are what they are.  Any explanation limits them to here and now when they are for eternity.  These truths have no limits of time or space, so please do not waste time trying to figure them out.  Just simply acknowledge that they come from Me.  Open your heart to them so I can make sense of them for you if need be and continue to thank and praise Me for these eternal Truths.

It is not going to be easy to not ask “What does Jesus really mean?”  but start now thanking and praising Him for His words and allow them to seep into your heart where they will grow and flourish and feed you when you need these Words of Wisdom and
Grace.

Do not limit God’s very presence in each Word He utters.  Do not stifle His wisdom.  Do not look for glory and honor for yourself in trying to interpret His Words.

If He feels an explanation is needed, He will supply it.  Just ask Him and then patiently wait for His response.

“Do not let your hearts be troubled.”  You know what He means.  He wants goodness and peace for each of us. --  not worldly goodness and peace but that which the heart needs to survive and thrive in His presence. 

Find a phrase in the Bible that I have said which puzzles you a bit.  And make it your mantra.  I tell you solemnly that the puzzle will disappear when you sincerely apply your heart to saying My words.

Keep well, seek and yee shall find.  Be kind, patient, loving. Do not detract from anyone’s good name.  Love your neighbor.  Still your fears and KNOW that I am God.

Good night.  I love you, I love you, I love you --  place these words of Mine in your heart and see how your heart will react.
