High roads...Low roads

#190 Wed. Oct. 9, 2013, 1:30pm at home.

There seems to be high roads and low roads in our lives – yet I am there on both roads.

Isn’t it funny that we all want to be and enjoy being on the high road and really don’t like the low road.

Yet I am there in both circumstances.

The high part of the high road is that I am there.  It has nothing to do really with the other circumstances – but that is how humans perceive things.

While on the low road, I have not put you there, but willingly journey with you there.

Your desire or goal should be to be with Me in both cases.

If I am the measuring tool, there should be no highs or lows just a constant calm that I am there with you.

So it is our human senses that lead us to sense/feel like we are on a high or a low.

Really, what should it matter?  If I am with you that should be your high and if I am with you and you feel low that should be your high.

Do not get lost in your feelings.  Sure they are part of life, but they are not all of you.

When you feel like you are on a high road, I seldom get referred to.

Yet when you are on a low road you think I have stepped out of your life.

In both cases first and foremost thank Me for being here with you --- whether you feel low or high.

It is acknowledging My Presence that will level out the highs and the lows.

But you say I like it when I feel high --- nothing is going wrong, feeling good and healthy, etc.

But you know this does not last, so quickly acknowledge Me and thank Me for being with you in this good time.

And when you aren’t feeling on top of the world, thank Me for being with you here too.

You can’t enjoy one and hate the other.  You are to realize that this is life on earth.  So how do you accept this?  Knowing that My Hand is on it makes it all acceptable.

Rejoice with Me when you are feeling great.  Rejoice with Me when you are not feeling great.

Can you see the difference?

We must find the Common Factor in each of our days ups and downs.

Rejoice in My Presence!!

This is a mighty step.  Sure it is easy to rejoice when things feel great, but who wants to rejoice when things are not so great?

But that is a sign of My Followers.

Your closeness to Me is not measured by how you feel. 

Your closeness to Me arises from what you believe to be true.  I am with you always.

When you are feeling great, how much time do you spend with Me?

When you are feeling not so great, how much time do you spend with Me?

Lets look at it from this angle.

When you are sitting with Me and adoring Me in the Blessed Sacrament are you physically feeling good or bad? 
When you feel good about being with Me, you are eager to thank Me; however, if you are not feeling yourself, you don’t have the same enthusiasm about thanking and praising Me.

In both cases, I graciously receive your thanks and praise.  What I want you to remember – It does not matter how you are feeling – you soul needs to greet its Maker with praise and thanks.

When we are feeling great or not so great, sometimes the body’s feelings get to rule the role the soul needs to play to sustain itself.

The soul, by your practicing the habit of praise and thanks, still is able to offer this on your behalf whether you forget because you are having such a great time or because the body is weakened by a not so good time that it forgets to praise and thank Me.  

This is no condemnation directed towards you.  It is a recommendation that you start to put this into practice. Ask Me to remind you when you are feeling good or not so good.

Ask Me to remind you to nourish your soul by proclaiming your praise and thanks to God. 

Sometimes our souls go for days without having a chance to honor its Creator.

Thus our mind set has to grow in the practice of thanking and praising God many, many times a day.  So no matter whether we feel high or low, our soul does not get neglected and left behind either in the joy of the moment or the pain of hurt, or just a low feeling time.

Our soul must maintain the equilibrium of God’s Constant Presence in our lives.  Our physical body may forget at times, yet we should endeavor to be also in contact with our soul – not wondering if it is feeling good or not, but allowing it to be the center point where His Being can always come inside.

The soul needs the embrace of God to survive.  So do we, but the vehicle that will keep us, our body, on an even keel is our soul.

When our body forgets, our soul will call us back to our Center.

You are even feeling it now Margo.  Like the intensity of prayer is not there, yet hasten to give your soul – no, encourage your soul to play the prominent role it should in your life encourage it to praise and thank Me even if you feel your words aren’t strong enough or good enough to say what you want to say.  Remember our body feelings sometime control our prayer feelings.  That is why I encourage you to ask your soul to speak on your body’s behalf.

Don’t ask your head to pray.  Ask your heart and soul to pray to Me on your body’s behalf.

We sometimes get caught up praying from our heads instead of our heart /soul.

I want permanent residence in your soul.  I want your soul to know Me and I to know your soul.  I know Mine and Mine know Me.

Thus you will not feel discouraged on days when prayer doesn’t seem to come easily.  Just encourage your soul to pray to God for you.  This exercise brings you to a deeper relationship with your soul and closer union to Me. 

Thank you for enjoying My Creation.

God Bless.

I love each person.  Those who read these Words of Mine and those who are not able to read these Words of Mine.

God Bless from your soul’s Saviour.
