I am either God of ALL....

#178  Thursday, Sept. 5, 2013, 10am.  St. Theresa’s before the Blessed Sacrament

My Heart welcomes all My beloved constantly to come aside and be with Me.  Let not a second pass that you are not in My Presence.  Really a second does not pass that you are not in My Loving Presence. 

I am always present to you, however you are not always present to Me.   This is not pointing out blame.  It is saying that My Nature calls for Me to be always present to you.  By human nature you have to work on being more and more present to Me.

So often, and not planned at all , we take our eyes and thoughts off of Me when going somewhere, talking about something or someone, etc.  It is not done intentionally, however I am going to ask you to try to be more ‘intentional’.

Before you speak – ask Me.

Before you travel – ask Me.

Before you make a phone call – call on Me.

Before you go on your computer dedicate all you do on the computer to Me.

Thus you will become more aware of My Presence in your life.  You have to gently teach you, that it is not all about you, by bringing Me up often and more often.

Then your heart gets more used to My Presence and seeks it more often for all sorts of decisions, etc.

We can go through a whole day without referencing Me.  Yet I was there at each moment.  It is like not wanting to mention the elephant in the room.  You have to choose  to recognize Me in your life.  I cannot and will not impose Myself unless your heart first asks.

So ask away.  I don’t mean you have to ask questions, but just say something like “thanks for reminding me to call the doctor.”, “thanks that I have good veins so when they go to take blood or give me an IV, it doesn’t hurt.”

Now I hear you saying “But what if I don’t have good veins?”  Then thank Me for being with you to strengthen you through this suffering, and thank Me for the medical staff for gently persisting and making every effort to help you.

You see clearly that we sometimes seem to only be thankful for good things and struggle to find Me and thank Me in the harder times.

So what a great opportunity!  Look for My Hand and Thank Me in the hard situations.

Like your car broke down when you really wanted to get to church.  Where am I, you ask, because you had good intentions of going to church.  Will you Trust Me and Thank Me that My Will for this time far exceeds your desire to go to church??

Hard to believe eh?  But you want to see More of Me in your life and I can’t be there unless you accept each situation as My Will, My Hand on it.

It’s easy, or so we think, to see God’s Hand in the birth of a new baby, but not so easy to see His Will, His Hand on the death of a young child.  He does not ‘will’ suffering, BUT He is completely there for each of us with His Abundant Love when this suffering occurs.  That is the difference.

We have to learn to be thankful for His obvious Graces and as thankful for His Graces of Love and Compassion in hard times.

We turn God ‘on and off’ according to our view of things.  So He is God to us in some things and not even recognized in others.

He is really God of ALL or He is not God.

So we must go into ‘training’.  Training our souls to praise and thank our God in ALL circumstances.

We do not thank and praise Him because awful things happen.  We thank and praise Him because He has remained faithful with His Presence of Love and Comfort even in the hard times.

So come aside and choose a side.

Will you be willing to see Me and praise Me and love Me at all times and circumstances of your life?

OR

Only choose Me in the good times and regret My seeming lack of presence in the bad times?

In the latter, you are choosing a God of Limited Power, Limited Ways, Limited Love.

Is that how you see Me and want Me to serve you?

I can and I want to serve you in ALL circumstances of your life, but I can’t if your heart does not welcome Me.

I never stop loving you no matter what you choose, but our relationship gets deeper and deeper the more you put more and more Trust in Me and My Plans for your life.

“Lord, I surrender all of me to You this day.”

God Bless all those who read these words of Mine and thereby grow closer and closer to My Sacred Heart. 

Pray for all those in Syria and thank Me for being there for each one of them.  Bring them, -- their souls – all of them – into My Sacred Heart, with your soul, and sit in the intensity of My Immense Love. 

Let Me, not you, burn away all anger  and hatred.  Come sit and be part of My Healing Work for My World.   ______________________________________

Storm of Emotions

#177  Tuesday, Sept. 3, 2013,  11:20a.m., St. Theresa’s before the Blessed Sacrament.

Silence any rumblings in your heart.  Let Me hear only peace and praise coming forth from your new heart.

Do not stop to ponder this or that which can be a distraction to our relationship.

Do you trust in Me?  Tell Me and tell yourself.  This is prime in our relationship.  You see if you say you Love Me then Trust is already there or should already be there, unless of course you do not Love Me as much as you think you do.

A good test of your Love is – do you Trust in Me?

So together as your love increases for Me so does your trust.  They go hand in hand.

Now tell Me what is on your mind today that we can work on together.

I do not want you wandering off trying to solve something on your own.

You now know that doing it with Me solves things quicker and gives you a more balanced approach to the matter.

Still your thoughts.  Do not try to drag something up just to please My request.  But if you have something on your mind today let Me hear about it.

Sweep away all your notions for solving problems and sweep them into My Sacred Heart.  Then bring your soul and another’s soul – usually there is another person who is part of the problem – and let’s sit and let love, My Love, flow over it.  Now how long does it remain a problem when My Love flows over, around, in, through the problem?  Not long at all unless you do not like My Solution and feel you have a better answer.

So has My Love for you diminished?  Has your Love and Trust in Me diminished?

Did you leave the problem with Me to be washed in My Love?  Or did you take it back with you just in case you come up with a good solution?

It is amazing how and why we do this, especially when you know I AM the Solver of Problems.

Cast all your cares on Me.  Do not hold any back.  Keep re-casting and re-casting if you must.  Because the wily one will endeavor to convince you that you can work it out on your own.  “Don’t disturb God, He’s busy.”  “It is only a simple problem and He knows you can figure it out on your own.”  “others have worse problems that He should be dealing with.”

You see, he won’t say God can solve ALL.  He entices you to think you are as good as God and can solve your own problems.  He doesn’t call you God, but he wants you to think that God does not play a role in ALL of your life, maybe just in some of your life.

So he sneakily separates us.  Not by big sins, but by subtle suggestions of our own smartness and ability to solve problems. 

He wants your soul and if you say you have given your soul to the Lord, he will make every effort to get small smidgens of it back under his control.

I want you to know that the devil is real.  He does not want you to love and serve Me.  He wants you to love and serve yourself as the alpha and omega – the beginning and the end.

He wants you to live in jealousy and pride.  He wants you to become the most important person to you.  He does not want you wandering into My Sacred Heart where the fire of Love is so intense.

He wants you to wallow in the ashes of your own defeat.

His hand never stretches out to offer you peace and harmony.

Let’s look at the harmony that comes into your life when you are in My Presence – loving and serving Me.

There is no clash of your body cells.

When you are upset and in turmoil, don’t you think your body cells are clashing too?

How can they nurture, nourish, perform their role in your body when the body and mind are in turmoil.

It is like a stormy ocean --- the sand and silt are tossed around, the fish cannot follow their normal pattern of life, there is great upheaval.

The same for your body and mind when it gets caught in a storm of emotions.  You can’t think straight, your decisions are made on quaky ground, you are at a loss for words, you can’t ‘see straight.’

Sometimes this happens by some unforeseen incident, yet in the majority of cases we resurrect these emotions in ourselves over some situation that we are still ‘chewing on’ instead of giving it over to the Lord.

Remember how jealousy/pride raised their ugly head yesterday and you could feel the instant change in your body and you knew it was not a good change.

You brought it immediately to Me and I showed you the true sense of what was causing you to react.  You took it personally, like it was an attack on you (far from it!)  and I showed you it was a time for you to praise and thank Me and not a time to ignore Me and retreat into your petty emotions.

And when you realized your reaction, you brought it to Me, heard My Words on it and realized that you were taking the center role --- you were your focus.

Once you re-focused on Me you could feel your body becoming more peaceful and realized the harm you do to each dear cell that makes up you, when you let you become the focus and not Me.

The turmoil that goes on in each person’s body when I am not the centre – at ALL TIMES.

Perhaps we need to apologize to each and every cell in our body for the upheavals we have caused them.

I created each cell for a divine purpose.  We sometimes interfere with these created cells by putting our own feelings and emotions on them. 

Like how can the cells digest your food as they are meant to do, when you are stomping around very angry, using foul language, and venting your anger on people or things.

Don’t you think they are probably hiding in a corner till the melee subsides.  So they can’t work as they should.  You can’t work as God intended you to.

So thank Me right now that I am the one who can restore your cells to their proper position and order.

Thank Me for showing you that when you go back into you as the center only chaos prevails.

Thank Me for only allowing your cells to suffer a bit yesterday when your jealousy/pride emerged.  I did not cause them to suffer, but I relinquished their suffering with My Words to your heart. 

So each time you feel upset by something race to My Sacred Heart and jump in.  The faster you do this ‘spiritual exercise’ the healthier your body will be.

God Bless all you who read these Words of Mine.
