Lowly Dust

#199  Monday, Nov.4, 2013  11:30am, St. Theresa’s before Blessed Sacrament

Thank you for celebrating this day with Me as a holy day.

Doesn’t it bring forth so much more of what you are in the world and what the world about you is all about?

The holiness of each part and piece – it cannot be imagined.  Like every blade of grass has a halo on it because it is holy.

It opens up nature for you because it just does not ‘happen’ but is so blessed by My Holy Hand  --   drawn into life each day by My Inspiration, by My Creativity.

How holy is everything around you.  Even dust!  What is the purpose of dust you wonder?

Yet it is part of My Creation is it not?

So dare we treat dust as Holy?  Interesting question is it not?

I want you all to be profoundly aware that ALL around you be it dust or shiny things are all part of My Creation.

We look at the beautiful sunset or sunrise and say WOW, praise God.  And I graciously accept your praise.

Yet we do not look upon the lowly dust in the same way do we.

Yet both have been created by Me.  Why do we withhold praise for some of My Creation and pour forth praise on others?

“I believe in God the Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth.”

Do we really believe He has created the meagerly speck of dust that seems to have no purpose but to cause us to work to keep it away?

I want you to look around you at the ho-hum everyday things and proclaim to Me that you see Me as their Creator and praise Me for it.

The colorful leaves on the trees we admire, yet when they fall off and turn brown we look on them as almost garbage.  They cause us extra work, they get slippery underfoot, what good are they to us in this dying and dead state?

Do you expect an answer?

Again, I call forth your soul to proclaim that My Hand is on ALL of this.  This is My Creation, nothing less than My Creation.  You could not stick all the leaves on all the trees in the world.  And you could not unstuck them at just the right time in their life cycle could you. 

All that I have created that comes to life and dies is all part of My Creative handi-work.

Acknowledge Me in ALL.  This is not an order but an instruction that as you do acknowledge Me in ALL you will grow closer to Me because nothing that I have created will be held as worthless in your eyes.

How many times when you have dusted have you sung praise to Me for the dust?  Dare I say NONE?

Not just sung praises as you pass the time dusting.  But eagerly sung praises because of the dust, because of the privilege you have being part of My Creation.

Have you ever looked at it like this before?

I know many of you offer Me praises as you go about your household chores.  And I thank you for these.

Yet I want you to offer prayers of praise to Me for the lowly dust!

It may sound crazy.  However when you offer prayers while you are dusting, you are doing what you want to do.  Now I ask you to offer Me prayers of thanks for the dust, My Creation.

Do you grasp the difference?  In one case you are offering up this chore of dusting to Me and again I am most grateful.  Now dare to offer Me praise for the dust itself --  not the chore of dusting (which is you), but rather the dust itself (which is all Mine.)

I am so eager to fine-tune your prayer life.

Like before when I asked you to go further than praying for the person and their broken let and now to gather your soul and their soul into My Sacred Heart, not to pray, but to sit and absorb and be comforted by My Immense Love.

Remember I have asked you to see each new day as holy.  You can even fine-tune that -- 

See each new, holy day and everything in it as holy.  Just not the day (the 24 hours) but all that the day contains  --  big and small, annoying and calming – see My Hand in ALL,  on ALL.

Do not struggle to be pure of heart.  Rather struggle, strive to attain the purity of heart that I reveal to you.

You are wondering Margo where this last sentence comes from?

Your purity of heart cannot be achieved by you.  I want to purify your heart which means more of Me and less of you.  So as you look on creation --- see More of Me in it ALL.

Purity of heart is the Fineness of God.  My fineness is all around you, yet often we do not absorb it or take notice.

See Me in more and more each day and by so doing your heart becomes purer and purer.

O Lord from dust to purity of heart.  Who would have known that they are infinitely connected.

Thank you for writing Margo.  You have lots to dust and thereby grow closer to Me! 

God Bless each person who reads these passages.  May your heart delight in knowing how much I love you
