I Am Not Silly

# 101,   March 6, 2013, Wed. 9:55am, St. Theresa’s chapel.

I want to light a spark in you.

Your heart needs to be reenergized to serve Me not in guilt but in Joy.

Do not come forward to serve Me without a joyful heart.  I will not accept a servant who wants to serve for their own reasons.  This service to Me cannot justify your sins.

So leave your baggage at the door when you approach My heavenly throne.

Look to see why you have come – is it to pay off for your sins or is it to joyfully serve Me however I wish.  I may ask you to do nothing, or something small and almost insignificant or something larger.

Will you be content with what I have you do?  That is a tough question.  You want Me to ask you to do something quite grandiose – but no, no, it is the small, simple almost inconsequential things that I will request you to do.

They sometimes do not seem sacrificial enough to you – “heh,” you think, “this is too simple to be Your Will.”

Get someone else to do this, and I will then be available to serve you in bigger things.

So now once again you are in charge.

Why would you not be content to serve Me in the smallest way?  Because it does not feed your ego. 

How many times at the end of a day do you say to yourself “Well I didn’t do much today.”

So how do you measure ‘much’?

So the bigger, greater task you do means you have lived well this day?

And what is your measurement for a ‘greater’ task?

See both of these measurements – much and greater – are in your eyes only.

Have you asked Me at the end of the day if you have done My Will?

Seek out the small places that you allowed Me to work through you.  I don’t want you to examine your conscience and see where you have failed Me.

Examine your conscience and see where you have served Me.  Now this does not require you to pat yourself on the back each time you have acted in accordance with My Will.

I want you to become more aware of your goodness than of that which drags you down.

You can’t come to serve Me with Joy in your heart unless you have fed good thoughts into your heart. 

I don’t want you to come bearing a heavy load after reviewing your conscience and feeling sorry for yourself over how much you did not do.

I want you before Me, even if you can only claim one thing done according to My Will.  I want you joyful before Me that you were obedient enough to have done that one thing.

This is a marvelous start!!  Yes it is!  Do not poo poo it.

You then are calling Me silly for accepting only one obedient task or deed.

I am not silly.

I want you to start being joyfully obedient to My Will for your eternal good.

Don’t even put a number on the number of times during a day that you have been joyfully obedient to My Will.

Because then you will be back to you trying to outdo yourself the next day and the next day.  Thus not really doing My Will, but trying to prove to you how obedient you are.

This is foolishness.  Discard counting, just do.

When you come before Me to examine your conscience as to being obedient,  just thank Me for giving you the opportunities to do My Will and beg Me to continue to give you opportunities to do My Will.

If I take notice of any, and want to bring them to your attention for your good, I will.  But do not depend on Me to feed your pride.

Ask humbly for any graces that may be attached and I will gladly deliver.

These graces aren’t bragging rights.  These graces are meant to bring your soul more into line with My Will, My Way,

These graces are meant to enlighten your way so that the dark side does not drag you away.

Come to Me all you who are heavily burdened ---  you see this takes on a whole new meaning. 

You are burdened by what you think you have to be guilty for .

Feeding guilt over and over is not the diet I want you on.

I will give you rest by revealing to you that ‘doing My Will’ extricates you from guilt over past offences to My Will.

The more we surround ourselves with guilt the less time you will spend doing My Will.

Ask Me to remove your guilt if you really want to serve Me and be at rest.

You would think My Words “and I will give you rest” means you can sleep, or doze or do nothing.

The rest I supply is the grace to realize that doing My Will eradicates the need to carry guilt.  Because as you do My Will you are no longer doing the will of the ‘other’. 

The more you do My Will, thus the less you do his, thus the less guilt, thus less heavy burdens, thus more rest. 

Does it make sense when I explain it like this?  I hope so.

Now go --  do, Joyfully Do, more of My Will, less of his, and see the restful results!

Thank you for coming today.  Thank you for adoring.
