Jesus has a personal relationship with me.

#18     July 19, 2012, Thursday 11:15am – St. Theresa’s chapel – adoration

“I want to tell you how to live your life to the fullest which can only be accomplished through My relationship with you.

Do you realize that I am the one in charge of this relationship?  No, I am not your boss, but I know all, have all, am willing to give all which you can’t do.  So My being in charge simply means I have much more to offer than you ever possibly could.  You are limited by your humanness, I am unlimited.

Do you not want to find more by walking with Me?  What do you expect you will find if you walk with Me?  What I mean to ask is really what is the difference between you walking with Me and Me walking with you?  It seems the same, however it is miles apart.  You walking with Me is the choice you have made.  Me walking with you is a choice I have made from the beginning of time.  When you are in charge of walking with Me you can decide when it is convenient and when it is not -- that is convenient to walk with Me or not. 

When you acknowledge that I Jesus walk with you, you have given Me the place of honor in your life.  You are wanting to recognize that it is I who have chosen you, not you who have chosen Me.  Your choices depend sometimes on your mood, emotions etc.  My choice depends on My eternal unconditional love.

When I walk with you I will take you places you never imagined. 

But you say I have to choose to let You walk with me and there is the difference.  When you choose Me to walk with you, you show obedience to My will, My way.

When you say ‘I walk with Jesus’, He receives permission to be with you.  When you say ‘Jesus walks with me’ then you see who receives permission, who is leading this walk.  One way I can choose, the other way I choose Him to lead Me. 

You realized this the other day whey you were thinking of the phrase “I have a personal relationship with Jesus” and realized how limiting that is.

Whereas  “Jesus has a personal relationship with me” is freeing and breaking of bonds. 

Adore Me in each peson

#17     July 10, 2012, Friday, 10:15am – St. Theresa’s Chapel – adoration.

  

Thank you Margo for being here with Me today.  Where does the time fly?  Have we spoken lately?  I mean I have heard from you but have you heard from Me?

Be sure each day to set aside time to hear from Me.  To listen carefully to My voice, My love, My adoring of you as My Father’s creation. 

I have to adore all that My Father has created for it is perfect in our eyes – because our eyes see with love and through love.

Do we stop to adore each other?  I mean to praise and worship God for each person – gosh wouldn’t we be always in prayer if we did that.  Adore the God in each person.  Don’t let that prayer slip from you.  Take every opportunity to adore each of God’s creations.  We look at the new baby and adore, yet do we look at the parent and feel the same way?

We only see innocence in the baby or perhaps we only see the absolute worthiness and goodness of You.  Yet that also dwells in every person.  No matter what faults or failings you find in others, overlook that and  see Me, see deeper, see the worthiness and good of Me in them.  For seeing that is so much more important than seeing what we see with our limited eyesight and judgment.  Look beyond – look at Me in them.

It will be overwhelming because you will see a whole new creation, one that sometimes gets buried behind, under the exterior, the habits, etc.   Cry alleluia when you see each person.  Yes your kind hello is Me speaking through you to them, but, BUT, when you see Me approaching you in them Cry Alleluia – because I am in each person.  You are not smiling and saying hi to the person, BUT to Me.

That is the thought that has to drive your greeting.  Your smile, your hi are My gift to you. Now return them to Me each time you smile and say hi.  I realize it may not be easy to remember but even if you can only recall this a few times you will be making such spiritual progress.

My instructions to you are not intended to bring forth pressure on you, but rather to bring you to a higher level of conscientiousness and spirituality.  So perfection I NEVER demand.  I only ask for sensitivity to My word, a listening ear, an eagerness to move closer to Me and these are some of the ways you can do this.

Never get cross with yourself if you forget all that I am telling you.  It is a lot to take in.  It is a lot to break the habits you already have in your life.  And I have no anger against these habits. 

However, pray in your heart right now these words. “Lord Jesus, free Me from Me and allow You to be You in Me.”

It is a simple prayer without anything extra added.  Yet it says it all – for the more of Me you give to Me, the more of Me I can give to you.  It is simple math.

Aha, your replacement is here to adore.  Do you see Me in him because I am sure as heck there.

Cry alleluia!

Remember do not admonish yourself if you don’t do this very often, very much.  I know your heart’s good intentions and I will remind you to Cry Alleluia, ok.

Am I the center of your life?

#16       July 5, 2012, Thursday, St. Catherine’s, 3:15pm

”Look at Me.  Adore Me.  Write what I say.

I the Lord sit here in silence why can’t you do the same?  We are busy talking, sharing perhaps good things, but not listening to Me.  What you have to say seems more important.

Hush, still, be quiet, silence, sit with Me and say nothing, speak nothing, let no sound but your hearts sigh emit from your being.

All other words are gone in the next breath – whipped away by the air around you.  Only My words fit the past, present and future.  Silence is to be treasured because in that I will be heard, in that I will speak.

Adore Me.  Do not become irritated.  I am calling you aside and I expect obedience.  If I had called others, they would be silent too.  But it is your attention I ask for.  I shall have their attention at another time.

So no judging.  Place your very being before Me.  Bow down and worship the Word that is constant.  Release every problem to Me.  I am.

Do not turn your back on Me.  What else in your life do you have to do that is more important than being with Me? Do not make excuses.  You are here.  Stay here.  I know you balk because you planned to leave because you want to.  Please stay because I want you to.

Shovel your dreams and your plans.  Give Me the shovel and let Me redesign your dreams and plans.  Toss them into My lap.

Let’s sit together and look at them and see the worth of each one.  Are you too embarrassed to show Me?  Not because they are bad, but because they are so, so infinitesimal in the scheme of things.  Really they are funny eh? 

 If we allowed ourselves to sit with Me and spread out our life, our plans and see them in My lap and see them through My eyes, how we would smile, laugh and comment about which are important and which aren’t.  We could barely fill one ounce with the important things.

Why do you want to cry?  Because I have shown you something you do not wish to contemplate?  Still your tears.  I allow all sorts of casual time in your life, however it is when you think it is more important than Me that I wish to point it out to you because you keep asking to be closer to Me, to abide in Me, to see as I do.  Yet when I show you, you shun.  I am not calling you bad or endeavoring to make you feel guilty. I just am answering your prayers to become closer to Me.  And I do this by showing you how insignificant a lot of our life choices are.

Do not be afraid to see as I see. You want to, but sometimes it can be overwhelming because it seems to go against your decisions, your choices, your wants for you.

May I ask “What do you want for Me?”

You don’t like that question do you?

Because it means I am first in all and you would rather be first at least in a few things.

Then ask yourself: ‘Am I, God, first in all for you?”  And yes it is oh so easy to say “yes” but really that is not really, really true.  I am first with you in some things but not all things.  Don’t we all hate to see the truth written down, spelled out.  It is like a smack in the face – yes?

Because our pride leads us to think God is the center of our lives – it sounds like a very Good Christian Model – but in most cases, I am only a part of your life, not all of your life.

And, how does one make sure, or try to make sure that I am the center of their life?  Stop asking Me to be and just LET ME BE.

Affirm daily that I am and the phrase will affirm in you who I am to you and will allow Me to act in and through you.

You won’t even know that it is Me, but I will know.  Look at how you have already broken down that some decisions are yours and others are Mine.  Silly girl, they are all Mine.  You could not make a decision if it was not for Me.  How do I say it more clearly?

Stop dividing Me and you.  Start living as one in Me.

It takes a whole new mind, thought, perspective.  We are not separate, but ONE. 

I could leap off the Cross for you, but you still would need more.  Rest assured you will not be satisfied till we come face to face but in the meantime rely totally on My love for you, My Mercy for others, My forgiveness for all.

I love you.  You are Mine.  Be still and thanks for adoring Me.  Only through adoration will you find the answers to our relationship. 

Receive Me as your King and your confidant. 

Put No Boundaries on Me

#15     July 3, 2012, 3:30pm  St. Catherine’s before the 4pm ‘retreat mass’ – once again I started the rosary and God called me to write.

God alone knows the working of each person’s heart.  Do not fear not knowing another’s heart, just praise God that He does and He knows how to read and work in other’s hearts.

Give Him the freedom to exercise this loving power.  Open your heart not only to receive His love but to release others into His love.  If you don’t love as Jesus loves them then you don’t love Jesus.  You don’t believe He can work miracles in others – He has worked miracles in yours and wants to continue to do so.

You are thinking ‘you don’t like Me talking in the 3^rd person’ as if the God I speak of is not Me.  Well this God who shares with you is Me and I tell you whether I speak as Me or about Me it is Me who is speaking.

Harden not your heart.  Put no boundaries on Me.  You are funny, though you obediently write what I am telling you, you still want to have your say somewhere.  I delight that you feel you can be this personal with Me.  I hope you will delight in the fact that our relationship is beyond personal.  It is heart felt, deeper still, it is soul, it is all.  We talk about having a personal relationship with God, yet we think that is the climax of this relationship. How slow you are to learn to acknowledge that I want to be closer to you than your blood relatives, than your confessor, than you yourself.

Don’t try to hide the fact that you are proud you have a personal relationship with Me.  I know how you felt about Me years ago – it was not personal because you knew and trusted only you.  Now you have let go a bit of yourself – it definitely is still a lot of distrust.  I know you don’t like to hear this, but I speak this TRUTH with all tenderness of heart.  If I did otherwise you could not Trust Me.  I will not be false and I hope you realize this.

Again this is an adventure.  I will surprise you and know that when you are surprised you realize it is Me and our relationship deepens because you are happy I am in your life.  Don’t stop being surprised.  Then you will stop awaiting My coming.  Each surprise is “My Coming”, My company, My love, My devotion to My beloved one.

Remember to praise and thank Me for all the surprises I want to give you.  NOTHING is by chance.  My hand is all over your life.  Nothing happens without My approval – NOTHING.  Some, you say, could seem negative, but knowing it is Me takes away all the sting of what you call negative.  It is only negative in YOUR eyes.  I do not deal in positive or negative.  I deal in love.  It is hard to communicate since you see things as negative – poor health, bad news, etc. whereas it is not so;  or you see them as positive – something you have done to make your life happier, funnier, gayer, good.  You have not created these moments, I have.

You can create NOTHING.  You can, and I encourage you to, only receive each moment as a new creation from Me. 

HELP – I am not sure why I felt that word had to go there.  Maybe I want you to ask Me to Help you come to fully realize this marvelous Blessing – I AM IN CHARGE.

God Bless, be still and don’t ponder, just be.  My on-going presence through creation is enough for you.  

Give ME your heart

#14       July 2, 2012, Monday,

St. Catherine’s – Fr. Donato’s presentation on Book of Revelation.  I was starting the rosary again and the lord asked Me to write – it is a quiet time between talks. 

“I sink, I bow, I genuflect, I worship My God.  I want to let Him know how much I love Him.  But isn’t Me telling Him enough?”

I see you are befuddled by this beginning – but I want to show you what I ask for.  I don’t get caught up in words or even actions.  I WANT your heart.  That is what reflects your true love for Me.

Now, sit, hush, give Me your heart as you pray.  And you wonder ‘how do I do that Lord?’

Do you want to give Me your heart?   If the answer is yes then I will make it very easy for you.  Just start to pray and I will show you as you go.  It will not be any BANG like the thunder outside but a gradual, almost inperceivable change.  You don’t even have to feel, see, hear, sense it.  Once you give Me permission to have your heart, I just quietly move in and things change without your even noticing -  yet you will gradually notice.

So give Me your heart and let’s get going!

(Back again – not finished the rosary yet)

So you wonder what else I have to tell you.  Why should I tell you anything?  Do you deserve to hear My words, My thoughts?  Why do I ask you to take pen and paper and write?  Not for your greater glory – so don’t be concerned about what I will have you write, just promise to obey each time I ask.  The words that get lost, the chances that are missed because some do not heed the call.  And My judgment on them is not unloving, so don’t feel you have to judge them as not being attentive to My will. 

My will will be done, and I will give lots of people the opportunity, without judgment, to come aside and be obedient to My will.

How do I love you?  Let Me count the ways.  Yet there is only one way, unconditionally, with unfathomable Mercy and love.  I do not condemn you, I lead you, I beckon you, I smile at you, I kneel and pray with you.  I am there for you, with you, enough – more than enough for you  -- you can’t grasp the extent of My love.  So don’t try, just know, believe, trust, live in it.

You put the notebook and pen down because you were finished, but I am not finished.  Remember who is in charge of writing this book.  Hahaha

Now, quiet, still, quiet, be simple, sincere, kind.

My Holy Mother

#13   July 2, 2012, Monday – St. Catherine’s – the beginning of their week retreat on Revelation.  (Sitting in the last pew, near the fan and had started the rosary, but He asked me to write.)

“My holy Mother delights in her people.  She calls each of you her daughter and son.  Her prayers before Me are never ending – she takes no time for herself—it is all about you. 

Hasten to her in times of need.  Her prayers to Me from you have such impact.  I do not favor her prayers more than yours but hers have a love essence that I cannot deny.

Truly, I hear both of your prayers, hers and yours and am eager to respond to both however hers hold a love thought which I cannot deny. 

Her very presence in My presence, her very perfume of love for all others is so touching that how can this Son deny his Mother.

Do not stop asking her intercession. She does not stop interceding.

Stand aside and notice how her prayers to Me hold such significance that rocks will turn into water.  Do not deny that you may not realize how powerful her intercession is – I tell you this so now there is no question.

Look at her.  What do you see?  A woman, yes, but such a powerful woman – not in earthly things but spiritual things.

Her obedience does not make her less, but only raises her higher. 

Sit with her as you might with Me. Speak to her as you speak to Me.

Stop.  Why are you trying to think of things to write down.  Stop I say.

If you do not record My words, then these writings will fly away as dust.

Trust Me that what I have to say will be heard by many.

Don’t argue with Me as to what you think others need to hear.

Silence the tongue of your mind.  Squash your pride.  Suffer to be so insignificant that you go unnoticed.  Stop looking for approval.  Start imitating My mother – she said little yet loved deeply.  You can’t love this deeply until you put self aside.  I know this is not easy but what a joyful adventure.

We all crave new adventures.  Well this is one that you can have each day and then see where it will take you – to many unknown places I assure you.

Don’t look for things to happen.  But in obedience, in craving to be obedient, know that all that happens in this greatest of adventures has My hand on it.

Look upon My Mother – entrust your very soul to her so she can enter and allow you to see how to love selflessly.  Conquer any desire to love your way – to determine when to love or not.

Don’t hesitate to smile at all, on all – why do you limit your grace – the grace of life and love I have given you, to be so limited?

Do you smell that perfume?  (You say no you do not smell any perfume).  So, now let Me tell you that the perfume I want you to smell is so pure that your senses can’t find it, can’t detect it.  It is beyond the human natural world.  It is a scent that permeates all those who love unconditionally. 

How do you love Margo?  Do you limit your love – and you know that answer is yes.

What if I limit My love for you?  How would that make you feel?

But each time you limit your love for any of My creation, you limit your love for Me.  Yet you say you love Me, yet that can’t be true because you don’t love those whom I love.

See, I told you this would be an adventure – going into places you have not dared to go, have not wanted to go, have judged are not places I would call you to go.

O silly girl. You have so much to learn.  But fortunately I am enjoying this adventure too and look forward to seeing where it takes the two of us.

Now be still, listen, I want to speak to your heart.  There will be one word that will jump out at you today.  Let Me know what it says to your heart and soul. 

Now quiet, still, be at peace.

The Wood of the Cross

#12     June 29, 2012 Friday, 3:20  before the Blessed Sacrament at St. Theresa’s

Write softly, quietly, ask Me no questions.  You are in the midst of the Profound.  Far, far beyond your wildest imagination. Just sit and sip in what I have to tell you.

Are you listening?  My voice is as clear as a bell yet you don’t hear it or listen for it.  It roars above all other sounds, yet is drowned out by silence.  That is how profound My nature is from yours.

Don’t fool yourself.  You know O SO LITTLE about Me.

Yet you ask, why Lord do you have me speak about you at all if I know so little.  Now that is a selfish question.  If you speak My words they will be received but if you choose to use your words they will be gulped up by the wind and thrown hither, to and yon.

When you speak of Me, only use My words.  I have said plenty – there is an in- exhaustive supply of them.  Do not interpret them, just cast them out there to be picked up and leaned on by others.

Foolish you may think, yet they are the only words of importance to anyone.

You falter (but Lord I think I have some wise things to say) – and yes you do – but they are only wise if they arise from My original words.  You must not make up anything just because it sounds good or others may think you are profound.  You must always speak the Truth based on My words.

Do not cast about for words or thoughts.  I will tell you what I want you to say to others, just be sure to ask. 

I alone have the Wisdom that seeks to win souls.  You are just a vehicle by which these words of Mine get shared.

Hasten not to boldly speak about this or that.  Always check with Me if I feel you need to share Me with others.

Any wise words you have you did not create.  They have been instilled in you through the Holy Spirit.  They are not your thoughts, but Mine, because My thoughts are not your thoughts.

Ok.  I will explain since you quietly asked.

When you speak My words, they are My thoughts – they are not your thoughts but have been born in you through Me.  I have infused them into you. 

You can see as you write that you want to express what you think I want said.  And I will stop your pen dead still if you do this.  The thoughts you are recording are not yours, otherwise they would fall flat and have no importance.

Reach out.  What did you touch?  The wood of the pew.

I ask you to reach out and dare to touch the Wood of the Cross – not in a human way but in a spiritual sense – a far deeper sense of reaching out to Me.  We have not realized that spirituality is the only sense that we need to trust.  All other of our human senses tell you human things, our spiritual sense guides us to a much deeper interpretation of all that is around us.

Stop, quiet, don’t ramble just be still.  Thank you for coming back to Me to sit and listen and grow.

I love you and all those who come here and all those who don’t.

Are you that generous with your love?  Do you love those who ‘visit’ you as well as those who don’t ?  Do you love those who love you and still love those who don’t?

This is such a profound teaching and I so want you to get it.  NOTHING ELSE MATTERS.

Go in peace, your sins are forgiven.  Sin no more.  Bye Bye.

Just Adore

#11     June 20, 2012 Wed.  Before the Blessed Sacrament at St. Theresa’s

“Quiet, listen, What do you hear?  Listen to the fan, the traffic. I have created sound so you can enjoy, so you can feel yourself in the present. 

Now sit, be still and adore. No more wondering, or thinking or planning.  Just adore.

It is about My Love

#10     Monday, June 18/12 – before the Blessed Sacrament at St. Theresa’s

Hush, be still, ignore all else.  Sit quietly with Me.  Do not ponder what I may be going to tell you, just rejoice in the words I have you put down. 

Quiet your soul.  You have a lot of things dancing around in there.  O how do you quiet your soul?  Listen only for My word. You have to be still and patient to hear it.  Yes you can hear My word in a busy time, but what I mean by be still is to wait for Me to answer – do not put a time frame on My responses because then again you are in charge and not Me.

Listen daughter now My voice wants your attention, attention to big and small things.  Quiet, don’t search for My purpose, just listen to My word.  It will lead you to write what I feel needs to be written.

Stop searching for the next word.  I will give it to you.  Don’t seek to record any of your own words or thoughts. They are vain and self-serving.  Quiet, slowly, tenderly, willingly write what I am saying. 

Stop comparing yourself to others, stop looking to better yourself in My eyes.  I alone can better you if I so wish and you are to patiently wait on that.  Forget your reason for coming to Church this morning.  Were you not surprised to see the priest at adoration?  I send people into your life unexpectedly, for My purpose of which I do not have to let you know.  That may sound saucy, but why will you waste your time trying to figure out why I brought him into your life today?  It does not matter.  It is that I do these things to show you that I am in charge of all coming and going.  I am in charge of all creation which is happening at every moment in time.  Creation has not stopped, been done, finished. My creation is vibrant and alive and moves and has all My being in it. 

You waste the time (which is part of My creation) by worrying about or thinking about things over which you have no control and never will!

Quiet, be still and know that I am God.  And as God it is all in My doing.  All I ask of you for your own good – it is the only way you can attain selflessness – is to praise and honor Me for all that happens in your life.

The priest being at St. Theresa’s today confirms for you how I work and act in others.  He told you that he just felt he had to drop in on his way back from Dartmouth.  Even when it first struck him to drop in, he deflected it, but then reconsidered.

I want you to know Margo that I call many, many, many and some do not respond and others do.

What is the difference?  I do not love one more than the other.  The one who deflects My invitation is not loved less.  However here is the bottom line – the one who responds gets to find out how much I love them.

You think I need to make it clearer.

I love both equally.  Both may love Me the same.  However the one who responds to My call to come aside for awhile – it is not the length of time, but the coming aside – will, by My special grace that flows from the Blessed Sacrament, get to know, feel, rejoice in HOW MUCH I love them.  It is not about their love for Me, but about My love for them. 

It is not about their saying yes or no to coming aside that will affect any of My love for them, however it is for their great benefit to come aside when I call, and sit in love – in My love.  You are not sitting in a pew, in a chapel, on a street, in Halifax.  You are sitting in My love and that can be anywhere.

Yet sitting in the open air on a beach I can be there.  I am there, but it is to answer My call, when you are on that beach to stop and come aside with Me.

Does it seem hard to grasp?  For many it must be because I am always throwing out the invite and I don’t require hours of your time to step aside but just the recognition that I have called you aside and you have answered. 

On a beach I might say come aside with Me.  That does not mean you have to grab a spiritual book, or leave your family and friends.  It is just a simple response of Yes Lord I am here to do Your will.  The graces that flow from that acknowledgement will bowl you over.  You will be aghast at the power you can unleash.

Be still, know that I am God.  Go in peace, Smile. God loves you.

Your obedience to My call is what opens the door to a multitude of graces.  It has nothing to do with the time but with your will to be one with Mine.  It may only take a fraction of a second in human time, yet it succumbs to no time frame when I, the Creator, receive it.
