Thanking Me...

#172  Friday, Aug.23/13  10am St Theresa’s, before the Blessed Sacrament

Be still and write. 

Write not to right a wrong but write to let My Love flow outward over the world.

My Love aches to be received and blessed and gotten.  My Love wants to reach into souls that do not know the contentment that My Love can bring.

My Love aches to touch hearts that feel they already know it all.  Never will they, and even less so if they do not want to receive more of My Love. 

Their sacrifices do not matter.  I want their hearts.  You see you can sacrifice lots with the intention of doing it for Me.  Yet if you do not relinquish your will – your heart – these sacrifices do not help you to get closer to Me.  They are your plan to get closer to Me.  They are not My Plan for you on how to get closer to Me.

Unless you will that your will falls into My Sacred Heart for Me to mould, then you are still working under the command of your own will and not Mine. 

Have you surrendered your heart to Me today?

I have told you to beg Me each day for a new heart.  Guess what?  That new heart has been made to bring you closer and closer to Me.

That is why you need a new heart daily.  Otherwise, you start to exert your control, your plans, your program over it and it no longer is newly programmed daily by Me for you.

Show Me where you have let your will direct you today.  Now show Me where you have let My Will direct you today.  Do you see the difference?

You can test the difference.  Here’s how.

Each thing that you do, do you thank Me for placing it in your heart in the first place or do you just presume it came from your casual thoughts.

The more you thank Me, the more you testify to Me that you recognize and accept My Will in your life.

Now this has to be a thanks of loving gratitude, not ‘oh thanks a lot, I really needed that!” with a forlorn face and attitude.

Don’t just seek My Will.  Seek to do My Will in your life.  Then seek to be most grateful for all of My Will that has appeared in your life today.  Seek to recognize that ALL that happens in your life is My Will.

It is sort of a separation.  Sometimes we think what we do as our will, and other things we do are God’s Will.  However, ALL that occurs in your day has My Hand, My Will on it.

The big leap is for you to recognize this and give all praise and glory to Me for each happening in your life.

I asked you this morning if you thanked Me for what happened yesterday.

It appeared more negative to you, so I am not sure if you praised and thanked Me for it.  It dawned on you in all the thoughts you had about it, you did not praise and thank Me for it.

This is a huge step and one we struggle with --- to praise and thank Me in ALL circumstances.  Not only big world disasters, but small seeming-like set-backs in your life.

Now praise and thank Me for all of what made up the situation yesterday – the people involved, the people who casually walked by, the green grass, the coolness of the shade, the time I allotted, your reaction, your heart and soul.

Let Me explain to all of you that when I say My Hand and My Will are on each moment of your life, please do not assume I allow you to sin.  I am there endeavoring to grace your will so it will not sin.  I allow you to use your free will which may lead you to sin, yet I am still there.  My Love is a constant in each person’s life.  However, you may not accept the help of My Love from My Will and turn away to do your own thing.

Yet, you can still thank Me for Loving you when you have sinned.

Usually we are more repentant when we have sinned and not grateful for the Constant Love the Lord never takes from us even in our sinfulness.

What a Blessing eh?  I will not abandon you!!  Now go in peace seeking to serve My Will which will keep you and your precious soul healthy.
