Place for Rent...Only Jesus may apply

#121  April 15, 2013,  Monday, 9:15am – St. Theresa’s before the Blessed Sacrament.

You seemed to realize this revelation in your prayer just now that as you thanked Me for removing your fear you realized that I do not want to remove things from you, as much as I really want to replace all with Me.

So it is not Me removing your fear, but because your heart is asking, I am replacing that which distresses you with Me.

It is such a gradual process.  However, you noted you were not fearful and then realized that I do not remove things, but rather I fill you with more of Me!  Good realization!

Ponder your thoughts and then ponder Mine.  I do not think as you do.  I do not want to be rid of things as much as I desire to fill whomever, whatever with Me.

Do I make sense?  My Ways are not your ways.  And be most grateful for that, otherwise you would be caught in a never ending cycle. 

I make All Things New.  Your heart, your thoughts, your actions, your emotions.  They all get washed in My Ways.   They all find true meaning in My Ways.  They all escape from darkness into My Marvelous Light. 

If it were not so I would have told you.

So seek not to rid yourself of things so much as to put Me there instead.

So if a fear arises, do not pray to Me to be rid of the fear.  Realize that I can do so much more.  I can replace the fear with Me.  Give Me permission to do this.  Just Ask Me in prayer to ‘move into’ that area of you that is now playing host to fear!

Rent that space out to Me instead.  Make it like a solid visual – you can ‘see Me’ in your mind’s eye ‘moving in to’ a space that you had previously rented out to fear.

Put up a sign in your heart “Place for rent – apply within.”  The devil might apply so he can bring more and tougher demons.  So you can add to the sign “Place for rent – only Jesus may apply within.”

It sounds like a silly game, but it is not.  How serious are you about renting out your heart to Me and My Ways?  I will be a good tenant, I promise.  I will not disturb you, but rather give you peace.

Limit the renters of your heart to Me alone.

We invite others and things to take up residence in our hearts when really it is only Me you need. 

So make that sign.  Go ahead I don’t mind if you physically make it and stick it on your fridge, mirror, bureau, under your pillow. 

You are the landlord of your heart.  I want to be the only tenant you invite to live there.
