Treasure My Words

#185  Monday, Sept. 23/13  10 am, St. theresa’s , before Blessed Sacrament

So you have read some of My Parables and find them a bit confusing.  That is ok.

I have just asked you to read them, not try to make sense of them.

Remember they are My Words so though they may not make a lot of sense, treasure each word because it has come from the Mouth of God.

These are the pearls you find or the one precious pearl – My Words – so treasure them, read them because the treasure lies deeper than the Words themselves.

We try to figure things out on a human level and never dare to take the chance to let them speak to our soul.  My Words enrich your soul because they come from Me – that is the only treasure you need, that I have spoken these Words.

Figuring the parables out only satisfies the physical mind.  I want you to preserve My Words in your soul, not endeavoring to make sense of them but just treasuring them because they come from Me. 

You see, if it doesn’t make sense we feel confused, out of the loop, stupid, uncomprehending.

But put all that aside.  I want you to just tell Me you treasure in your heart and soul each Word I have spoken.

Our pride keeps us from not wanting to admit that some of the things we read that Christ has said we don’t understand.

Well shove pride aside.  Be more than willing to proclaim that we BELIEVE in God, in His Word and we willing treasure each Word, not that we need to, or have to understand it all, but, because they have come from the Almighty, we treasure them.

It certainly will change your approach to reading My Words.  You will say “I  may not understand the message Lord, but I believe and understand they are Your Words and I will treasure them.”

That is why I have told you Margo not to try to figure them out.  It is useless and makes you run around in circles so you become frustrated with My Words instead of loving them just because I have said them.

You see how the devil keeps us from reading My Words?  He tells you that if you can’t make sense of them why in heavens name are you reading them and upsetting yourself.  Look how he wants you to feel sorry for you!

He knows the Worth of My Words.

He knows  how they will seep gently into your soul allowing their worth to nourish your precious soul.

He will never tell you that, but he knows the nourishing effect My Words have on each person’s soul.

So dare not become frustrated when reading My Bible Words.  Thank God for these Precious Words that are not meant to enlighten the mind as much as to invigorate the soul. 

Praise Me for My Words.  Open your soul daily to receive the graces that My Words hold.

Reading Matthew 13 is what brought this revelation all about.

Abide in My Words. Do not try to figure them out – to what point?  Rather let your faith in Me go even deeper. 

Believe I have said them.

Believe there is an eternal message in them.

Believe that if your soul receives them, it is all for your great good.

Now doesn’t that make reading the Bible a whole lot easier?  Yet it does!

Thank you for adoring, thank you for listening, thank you for the love you have for others.

Thank you for realizing that each person who comes to chapel is as broken as you.  So there is no need to feel they need more of your prayers, or you aren’t on the same broken path as they are. 

What a relief eh that as I gaze on all of you I do not see ‘broken’, I see My Beloved – all equal in My Loving Sight.

So it is a blessing to realize that each one of us is ‘broken’ – not one more than the other, and each one of us aches to be whole again.

That each one of us is whole in My Eyes is the message I want each one of you to get.

See your wholeness through My Eyes.  AAAH!  What a blessing eh?  So then I look at my brokenness through Your Eyes, Jesus, and it is not the same as through my eyes is it?

Because I regret my brokenness and thus leave love out of it, while you see my brokenness through the Eyes of Love.

Love transforms ALL!

So now look at your brokenness only through My Eyes.  Through your eyes it is so limited, so not easy to patch, so pride-based.  Yes pride-based!  Because we like to say we are broken instead of proclaiming from the roof tops that we are His Beloved.

Which message has more of a healing message for mankind?

Certainly the one that focuses on My Love for My People and not on their brokenness.

Brokenness wears you down. My Love lifts you up.  Which one brings you more often into My Presence, into My Sacred Heart?  Certainly not your brokenness which causes you to think you are so unworthy.

Set aside your pride and leap into My Sacred Heart.

You can’t heal your brokenness, only My Love can.

Sacred Heart of Jesus have mercy on me.

So when you come to Me be ready to have Me heal your brokenness unless you feel more at ease in your brokenness than in My Almighty Love.

Jesus loves you.  Dare to find out what this really means!
