The Key to this Deep Place

#127   April 27, 2013, Saturday, at home, 10:50pm

Lord you have asked me to write.

Let Me tell you what I want My people to know.

They have been starving for ages for My Words.

Not that My Words have not been spoken, but many have still not heard.

I do not want to make signs and wonders to convince you of Who I Am -- that you only experience with your senses.

I want My Words to go deeply into your heart and soul.

Take a deep breath, deeper still, deeper still.  You can only draw in so much before you need to stop.

Not so with My Words. Your heart and soul are bottomless pits that cannot be filled to overflowing with My Words.  They have an endless capacity to take in My Words.  So there is no saying ‘enough is enough’. 

I want you to realize that it is My Words that seek to rest deep inside you – a place that no one else can go but Me.

I have the key to this deep place, yet so often I am not invited in to use it.

I am kept at bay.  It is like you are saying “I don’t need to know more of You, Lord. What I know now is enough for me.”

Do you see how you can turn Me away and I will be obedient?  Yes, I will respect your free will, however it will not stop Me from trying time and time again. 

I, above anyone else, know what you need.  You certainly don’t, or you  would not turn away from aching to know more and more about Me.

I died to satisfy your needs. 

You need My Guidance and Love to fully fulfill your purpose for being created.

Otherwise you will make up things that don’t even compliment your purpose as you try to discern your purpose in life.

Such a waste of time.  Ask Me what I want of you, then ask Me to supply you with what you need for this mission.

The time we waste searching while all we had to do was spend time with Me in prayer seeking My Guidance in your life.

Remember your Catechism – “Why did God make us?”  “To know, love, and serve Him in this world and be happy with Him in the next.”

But you say, “How do I get to know Him?”   “How much do I love Him?”  and
“When does He call me to serve Him?”

Have you asked Me, God, these questions one on one?  When you memorized this answer you did not know Me, nor did you know how to love Me, nor did you know when I would call on you to serve Me.

So now say these words and ask Me -- 

“Lord what more do you want me to know about You?” 

“Show me how much I have to love you and others.” 

“When You call me to serve, big or small, daytime or nighttime, please give me the courage to respond.”

This answer that you memorized was just a bunch of words that did not always leap from your head to your heart.

But now they have.  So do not hesitate to ask Me to show you how to know, how to love, how to serve.  Not according to your plan for your life, but rather according to My Will for your life. 

Ask Me for a sensitive heart that is attuned to My Word, My Love, My Service.

Ask Me for a gentle heart so that you can bring My Word to others.

Do you see in this last sentence, love, service and knowing.  Find them.

If you do not know My Words, how can you serve them lovingly to others?

If you are not loving, how can you serve My Words to others?

If you are not willing to serve, how can you know My Love and bring it to others?

Knowing, Serving and Loving go so hand in hand.

So, ask to know more about Me.  Knowing more about Me will reveal My Love for All.

And as you learn of My Love, you will want to share it with others.

Take your long-ago Catechism answer and put it into action this very moment. 

Ask to know Me more intimately.

Ask to love as I love.

Ask to serve as I call you to do.

What a satisfying, purpose-filled life.

Now sleep.  Be most willing to offer yourself to Me tomorrow.

God Bless – I love you, all of you.
