Throw your burdens on Me

I know it is not easy for you to find time to write and that is only natural. 

But I have given you this time and look forward to sharing it with you.

Quiet your heart.  Do not go a word further than what I dictate.  Do not try to guess My message.  Just be open – surrender your heart, hear the Words the World needs to hear.

Write only what I say – not what you think I should say.  Keep still.  Keep quiet, keep attentive.

I want to share this with all of you.  Open your hearts to hear and receive and take in this message. 

It will disturb some – and that is ok.  It will not fluster others and that is ok.

But your heart is aching to hear it and so it shall be said.

Guard your tongue.  speak less and listen to My words more.  Take heed of all that is said from My Heart to yours.  Do not let a Word fall short of entering your heart. 

Still your thoughts.  You are racing ahead anticipating My Words.  Stop, quiet yourself.  Tell Me you will obediently wait on My next Word and the next and the next.

Listen with an obedient heart.  Let go of every trouble – give each one to Me.

Stop now if need be and tell Me what trouble is on your heart.  Give it over to Me and then you will be ready to hear these Words of Mine. 

Thank you.  Now still yourself and listen.

These Words have never been shared before.  They come from the Father’s Heart to Mine to yours.  He wants to speak of peace – not peace on earth – but peace that only comes from knowing Him, loving Him and being attentive to All His creation. 

Peace that abides in each person’s heart – that cannot be ripped out by calamity or strife.  Peace that goes beyond earthly concept of peace. 

Peace that is not a riddle yet hard to grasp. 

Peace that breaks bonds and frees those in fetters.

Peace that does not respond to healing.

Peace that drags you up rather than drags you down.

Peace that sings from on high, yet peace that abides within. 

It can’t be ‘out there’ and be peace.  It has to be internalized.

It breaks fetters.

It shakes individuals to the core.

It breaks open wounds that have been pus-filled for ages due to a disgruntled heart.

Peace that begs to be given freedom to run your life – to bring you to such a state of grace that you will no longer ache for this or that earthly thing.

Peace that jumps up and looks you in the face and challenges you to put it on, to take it in, to make it part of you like bread and butter. 

Peace that escapes from your heart willingly and joyfully landing on others because it is too good not to share. 

Peace that abounds in heaps and piles in your heart – that the more you give away, the more you get.

Peace that can stop a heart from melting.

Peace that can support a heart in need. 

Peace that wants to fill all the hard parts of your heart.  To break open hardened hearts and reveal the pain that has kept that heart a prisoner. 

Ache for such peace.  Ask Me for such peace.  Each time you come aside and sit with Me ask for such peace.

It will be gradual at first, but it will change you so dramatically that your mirror will not recognize you. 

What do you see now when you look in the mirror?  well be prepared to see something new.  This peace will make you worry less about your wrinkles – does this sound silly?  But it is not  --  right?

If we are at peace, we do not concern ourselves with our facial wrinkles.

So there is your measuring stick.  When you look at yourself in the mirror, listen for your comments --  too fat, too thin, bruised, thinning hair, etc.

When the mirror shows you these things You Are Not At Peace.  Or I should say, when you do not like what you see in the mirror, You Are Not At Peace.

This sounds like such a foolish thing to talk about, but it is not.

We are always looking for World Peace when we have not even found peace in our own hearts and souls.

We don’t want to think that this is peace that we should seek and want to have --  it seems so ridiculous.  But I assure you it is not.  And for those of you who want to follow My Will I assure you it is an important task for you to consider. 

Each time the mirror shows you things that unsettle you, give them to Me.  Again this sounds too silly, but if you wish to find the peace I offer, you will have to be willing to do this.

We always tend to start with peace by trying to bring peace into our family or our group.  And that is so futile.  If you are not peaceful with you, in you, then it is always like riding with a burr in your saddle.

There is always this little nagging thing that doesn’t allow your heart to be settled and at peace.

So surrender all the burrs, nagging little things, itsy bitsy bothers that you see in the mirror about yourself.

It has to start with the minute things that we tend to overlook because we are trying to fix the bigger picture.

But I tell you, start with the tiniest of tiny things.  Don’t go looking in the mirror incessantly looking to find them – that is not the point.

The point is that when you do see these things and your heart is not happy with them – Give Them to Me.  I don’t care how many times you have to do this – many, many times.

But don’t just leave them there hanging as a bother to you – give them to Me. 

I am not saying that I will take your weight off or give you more hair.  I want to take these cares out of your heart to allow My peace to settle there.

What a great challenge, eh?  You no longer have to strive to bring peace ‘out there’.  You first must dare – with grace – to bring peace within starting with what seems to be a foolish exercise – but it is not, I assure you.

So take a chance!  Come aside and sit with Me and bring your itsy bitsy bothers to Me and let’s see peace begin to abide deep in the recesses of your heart. 

Come aside.  I want ALL of you and these itsy bitsy bothers are part of you that you may not have realized I want you to give Me too. 

Throw your burdens on Me.
