Did I not create death?

#152  July 4/13, 9:45am.  St. Theresa’s, in front of the Blessed Sacrament

I the Lord wish to share with you today.

Such sunshine, such greening around, much summer heat, such summer rain.

Look on all My summer creation and thank Me.

--- For the ants, slugs, spiders, bees, flies, butterflies, bugs of all kinds,

--- For the bubbling asphalt; for hot concrete and sand, for weeks among the flowers,

Remember all of this, and more, are My Creation.

Do you see joy in all of these?

Start to look on My Creation with Love.  Ooh does that mean not killing the ants?

See them as having My stamp of love and creation on them.

You don’t want them in your house but when outside leave them to be a positive part of Creation.  Ask Me to show you their benefit.  Yes, the small ant, what is its role in Creation?

When we start to realize that all of My Creation plays a part in creation we will be less frantic when we see some bug or such.

Be still and know that you are in the presence of our Creator really busy on all creatures.

Thank Me for them – even the ones that give you the willies.  Still thank Me for creating them.

You see we see some things as not worthy of creation, because they bug you whereas all that has been created by the Father’s hand is worthy.

It is not less than us humans, it is loved by the Creator.  It abounds with the purpose with which it was created.

Take cancer cells – do you love these?

NO!?!?

Why not?  Because you feel that I did not create them?  Because they are a mutated cell that I did not create?

Which part of you is a cancer cell?  Which part of you do I not love?

Which part of you do I consider cancerous to Me and thus unloveable.

Does My love only fall on and fill with love only the good healthy cells that make up you?

Explain to Me why you hate cancer cells.

Is it because they may bring about your death sooner than later?

So is it that anything that leads to death is not healthy?

So death is not something good that happens in your life, but something bad?

Did I not create death --  a time to be born, a time to die?

Yet we don’t embrace even the thought of death because we don’t want it to come anytime soon, or perhaps never.

Death to you does not appear as a welcoming door into My Eternal kingdom. But rather a door slamming on this life that we know and cling to.

So you do not want Me in charge of your death?

You have not handed that aspect of your life over to Me yet have you?

Give it to Me now.  Tell Me that I am in charge of all of your life which includes dying.

Death seems to separate us from the reality we know and feel secure with.

Yet death brings you face to face with Me whom you say you love and want to serve completely.

So together, lets you and I look at death.  Let us break down the stigma attached to death.  It is not the end of life but the further opening up of our eternal life with God.

Do not let fear of death keep us apart!!
