The Box

“Come sit with Me and listen.  What do you hear?  Do you hear the beating of My Sacred Heart?  What does it whisper to your heart?  Is God alive in you, in All of you, or just floating around in you trying to find a place to settle and call home?

Do you take Him with you everywhere or only occasionally?  When does He get in your way?  When does He bug you?  Do you avoid these situations so you won’t have to answer to Him face to face? 

When do you run from encounters with God?  Why do we associate with Him in good-times?  Why do we frantically search for Him, almost in vain, in bad times?

If I am present with you at all times then neither good times nor bad times should make a difference.  So what are you telling Me?  That good times you will share with Me and sometimes credit Me with, and bad times you set yourself afloat searching for how to get out of this bad situation.  Why are you not surrendering it to Me?  Because when you  hear bad news  you feel all is lost, that somehow I must have stepped out of the picture and now you alone have to fix it.

When it seems bad, you seem to imply that God and bad don’t go together, so why would I go to God for help?  He doesn’t understand obviously, otherwise, I would not be facing the bad circumstance. 

So we don’t relate God to all parts of our lives.  We definitely have him in a box and bring Him out when we please and open the box IF we think He will be of any help.

So we  have not surrendered all of ourselves to Him.  We still want to control ‘the box’.

How can I show you more closely that I am in charge of All and want you to realize this for your well-being.

Show Me where a negative attitude has enhanced your life?  Bring it to Me and let’s sit and look at it and discuss how we could have faced it together.

Once you give Me something, do you think I put it on the shelf and leave it there to fester and be ignored. NO

I run to it and take it in My arms and embrace it and bring it to the inner sanctum of My Sacred Heart. 

I do not hesitate one moment.  When you feel that giving it to Me is the only answer, then you will understand that My response to it and yours may be miles apart.  I will not necessarily match what you want done.  Does that surprise you?  Otherwise you are in control of Me and that is not how it works. 

So bring it to Me and willingly let My Will be done in your life.

A HUGE leap for many but worth it, worth it, worth it.
