You can't escape from Me!

“Climb high upon a hill and I am there, speak softly to Me in the valley and I am there.

You can’t go anywhere that I am not there.  Go into the desert to be alone, and I am  there.

Plug your ears, turn off all sound around you and I am there -- speaking to your heart words that sometimes the head just doesn’t get.

Stand still, walk fast, run and I am there.

There is never a chance that you are out of My reach.  Now you know this does not apply to Hell.  I speak words of comfort to you who are living in this world on earth.  You need to know that you can escape many things, some good, some not so good, but you can’t escape from My vigilant love for you.

I don’t haunt you, I hug your heart.  I don’t chase after you, I am beside you in everything.

Can you see Me with you at the dinner table, in the car, on the bus, in the middle of a stream as you fish, on a hillside as you hunt deer.

I am sometimes called the hound of heaven.  I see myself as being the hound of your heart.  I want your heart dwelling in Me.  I want to show you through creation that I am All in All.

The funny thing is that even if you have tried to put Me on the back burner, I will not be shunned.  My very being is to stick so close to you that you can’t shake Me or ignore Me.

You honestly may try but oh how futile.  I am here and here and here.

You can’t close your bedroom door fast enough to keep Me out!

It is interesting to see how we sometimes want to avoid God in the conversation, yet somehow I always am included.  Even if someone says “thank God, the Christmas tree didn’t topple over”, --  even if they do not intend this phrase as a direct prayer, I hear My name and smile because of it.

Think of all sorts of times that you hear My name used or abused – each time, though the speaker may not intend it a such, it recognizes Me to them and the world.

So escape is not possible from My presence.

Embrace may be less likely but with Me there, you have the greater opportunity of turning to Me with your heart and embracing My presence.

If you felt you had to go here and there to seek Me, the frustration may keep you from doing it.  However when you realize that I am ALWAYS with you, the road gets easier.  The only direction you have to take is to willingly open your heart to My heart’s presence.

But you see if you are seeking Me, even if you don’t know it, your heart is looking for the love that will satisfy.  And nothing earthly will ever satisfy, till we turn our hearts to God, the Father, Son and Holy Spirit and be willing to forgo our earthly search among the limited hearts of humanity and see the heart that can house All humanity.  

When you seek My heart be prepared for what you will find. 

I call a great blend of people to abide in Me – sinners more than saints.

Discount no one.  Offer  Me to All.  Come abide in My heart and welcome All.  Not an easy task because you will want to whisper in My ear “Do you really know what this person has done?”  Like I should exclude some and include others on the strength of your words?  I don’t think so.

Once again, if you seek to dwell in My heart all of your judgment calls have to be left at the door to be swept clean by My Angels of Grace who make sure that nothing entering defiles My Sacred Heart.

I welcome you with all your warts and wrinkles of course.  But you must be willing to discard these if you wish to dwell in My Sacred Heart.  You can’t possibly abide in My heart with bitterness, anger, unforgiveness abounding in you that you are not willing to give up. 

You will know better not to enter because your heart will tell you that these things do not abide in My heart.  So the bearers of these best be ready to be cleansed of this in the fire of My heart otherwise there is no conversion. 

Now ask to dwell in My heart and now ask Me to show you what cannot dwell in My Sacred Heart.  You will be asked to leave these, do away with them.

I know it will be a gradual process, but even to profess that you want to dwell in My heart shows a willingness to forsake your old ways and put on Mine.

Come to Me in peace.  Sit with Me and ask Me to show you what cannot survive in the furnace of My Love, then willingly hand them over to Me. 

(the few thoughts that came to me:  name calling, bitterness, regret, jealousy, envy, fool’s foolishness, misinterpretation, doubt, fear, stubbornness, disobedience.)
