Let the Games Begin!

(Lord I have asked you to help me discern.)

Thank you for bringing this to Me, Margo.  You can always come to Me with your concerns or the concerns of others and place them before Me and ask Me to look at them with you and share My wisdom on them.

I cautioned you earlier and I will explain why.  Why do we endeavor to get ourselves ‘right’?  Are you trying to be right in My eyes or for your own well-being?

There is a huge difference you know.

So often we want to get ourselves ‘right’, ‘healthy’, etc. for our own good, so we will be pain free, disease free, etc.  These are natural human drives.  We don’t want anything to be wrong with us.  We want to be well.

But at what expense?  At whose expense…?

Does this wellness, well-being include the soul too?  In most cases, NO.

We don’t want to feel our bodies un-well.  Again it is about us and not much at all about Me.

It is your soul that you best make haste to get ‘right’, get ‘well’.

The body naturally breaks down over time and I say nothing against taking meds if that is necessary.  However, I caution you about other methods that do seem spiritual in nature yet they are not anchored in Me.

Be very aware of things that are, or seem spiritual, yet are only directed towards your well-being.

When you come to Me, the Healer, I will not promise you miraculous healing or even a betterment of your body.  Yet I will promise you peace the world can’t give.  None of these other spiritual practices can promise this.

So test them out. 

Here is the test: 

Are they anchored in My love and My forgiveness?  Is My name Jesus used?  Do they focus on you, you, you and not on Me, Me, Me?

I am a selfish God you know.  It is all about Me and if it is not then who is it all about?

Who is the center?  If it is you with no reference to My part in your healing, then what is it for?  Who does it benefit? How does it benefit you?

Eeeeegad says you!! haha

I encourage you to Ask Me when making any decision.

I heard you earlier trying to figure something out, then it dawned on you to Ask Me. And you did and I promise I will take care of it.

Now back to where we were.

Become very aware of Me and My role in your life.

I am in charge.  I know what you need and I will direct you.  Please Ask Me.  I don’t just talk to a few people or some people.  I will speak gladly and joyfully to whomever calls on Me by Name.

I want to be your dearest friend beyond any and all friendships.  I want to rock your world – that is, I want to be the rock you depend on.  I want you to know you can rely on Me to tell you the Truth.

I am afraid we often walk off in various directions, seeking help for ourselves by various means.

However, have you come to Me first and asked?  No.  And I don’t say that in a mean way, but in an honest way because I know you haven’t.  And I don’t blame you because you did not know any better.

So sing Alleluia, now you do!!

Ask Me, Ask Me, Ask Me.

You are still afraid because what if ‘He’ doesn’t answer? 

“I need to know” says you, “I really need to know.”

Aaaah, but what do you really need to know?  This is not a trick question.

What do you really need to know for your well-being?

You need to know how much I love you and with that then you will begin to trust in Me more and more.

We seek other things in our lives looking for wellness because we don’t trust that I, God, will supply all of and more than you will ever need.

But how can you trust someone you can’t see or touch or only sometimes hear?  You can’t because you can’t do it yourself.

ASK ME first and foremost to open that sticky heart of yours to allow My flood of Love and Graces to enter.  Remember on your own you can’t do this!  It is futile.

However, all you have to do is Ask Me and I will open your sticky heart

So all the time you have been saying “I am going to work on that”, or “I will endeavor to open my heart,” or “I will make every effort…”.  DO YOU SEE WHO YOU HAVE PUT IN CHARGE OF YOU?

I put these words in capitals to get your attention.

Your efforts to do it yourself are futile.  Learn this most important lesson. 

Ask Me, on the other hand, to break down the wall you have built between you and Me and I will, I can, I want to, I love to.  I want to get into your heart – I have the power once you have invited Me in. 

Let the games begin!!

So look at what you are doing in your life right now.

Bring each situation to Me.  Now quietly and without any suggestions or embarrassment, Ask Me this:

“Lord, is this what you want for me?”

“Lord, will this lead me closer and closer to you?”

“Lord, is this only for the good of my body?”

“Lord, is this for the good of my soul and your Glory?”

You see I give you several different approaches to really the same question – “Is it really all about you or really all about Me?

If it is all about you – it has a very limited time span…

If it is all about Me – it is eternal.

What time-line do you want to hold on to?

What time-line seems healthier for you?

What time-line takes you on a journey with Me?

Who is in charge of this time-line – you or Me?

Gee Margo, how did we get here??  Haha

But back to the main message.

If it is all about you – well and good – you do not need Me in your life.

However, if you want Me in your life then your focus has to refocus from you to Me – all of Me for all of you.

It is a huge leap but I am here to joyfully catch you and welcome you on this in-depth faith journey.

I  want you to know Me intimately and the only way you can is to Ask Me what I want for you in your life.

I will tell all – I want you so near to Me.  I treasure you so and want to become your treasure of graces.  Asking Me opens My treasure box of graces.

Time to sleep.  Thank you for confiding your concerns in Me.  I so enjoy our confidential sharing.  (“what”, you think, “I, God, do all the talking.”)  But I tell you, the sharing on your part comes from your asking and listening.  There would be no conversation if each of us was not playing a vital role in our relationship. 

So you ask, I answer – works for Me and I know how well it works for you!

Night and God Bless.

Thank you for sharing Me with others who are eager to share with others.

I love you, you are Mine. I care about you and all of you.  Not a breath or tear misses My loving attention.  Sleep tight.
