I Gift with Graces

#188  Monday, Sept. 30, 2013, 10:45am, St Theresa’s before Blessed Sacrament

I, God, have given you many friendships.  Treasure each one.  Do not judge any by your human nature, just receive them as My Gifts of Love to you.

So each person you know, meet, greet, welcome, see them as a gift from Me to you for your life today.

Do not squander these gifts I bring into your life --- maybe in different wrappings, yet each one full of My Love for you.

Place no value on one more than the other.  Do not favor one more than the other.  Do not feign niceness to one more that the other.

See each one as a gift to you from Me.  Once you see this, your heart will so readily accept this gift and find the hidden graces that this gift brings with it.

I do not gift without grace.  Each gift from Me has an abundance of Graces which I encourage you to welcome into your new heart each day.  It is not a plan of yours to be graced.  It is My Plan for you to be graced.

So do not look for “what graces does this person bring to me today?”  Just gratefully, most gratefully, accept the graces that I will bring you today through this person.  You will not know whether it is a grace of humility, patience, kindness, forgiveness, yet I tell you it will be a grace that you will need for this day.

WOW says you!  Yes each person that comes into your life each day has a special grace which I encourage you to accept.  So when that person comes into your life don’t presume to know what grace they bring, but rather presume to believe that the grace they bring to you today you need for today.

Now whether you make use of it or not is another story.

However, thank Me for each person who has come into your life today.  Thank Me for the graces they have unknowingly brought to you and which you hastily store in your new heart. 

So don’t get all puffed up thinking of the great graces you will bring to others, but thank Me profusely for your chance to be humble enough to receive My Grace Gifts from them.

Thank Me for telling you this great insight --- that others bring My Gifts of Graces to you and you are to humbly accept them as coming from the Hands of God.

Let these graces fill your new heart this day and when situations arise call on these graces.  Even let these graces silently work on you and in you without you needing to call them forth.  They work both ways – you can call on them to help sustain you and you can give them permission to work on you – silently and obediently to God’s Will for them in your life.

So you see when you “Cry Alleluia, hello Jesus” – you are not only meeting and greeting Me but further you are accepting the graces from Me that this person brings to you on My behalf.

Thus each person has graces to share with you.  Are you ready to receive them from the tough person as well as from the gentle person? 

Each person brings you closer to My Love and Care for you.  That doesn’t sound right if the person is bad, but I tell you that person will bring you graces from Me that you need. It does not sound right, but I assure you it is.  Because My Love flows all around each person and with My Love comes My Graces in abundance.

Thus you will have to love unconditionally if you wish to receive all the graces I have in store for you.

How many of Your Graces have I turned away Lord by avoiding people.  O Lord what a great gift, yet what a great challenge.  Help me Lord to accept your graces from each person, every person knowing that you love them as much as you love me.  God I will need help with this. 

Thank Me daily for the graces you receive from each person in your life today,  Then do the same tomorrow.

Justify?

#187  Sept. 27, 2013, 10am St. Theresa’s before the Blessed Sacrament

Thank you for your obedience.  Thank you for letting Me encourage your soul to seek healing.

I want you to be very aware that what we justify as being right for us to do or experience isn’t always justified.

Justified in whose eyes may I ask?  Like “I am justified to be angry because of such and such.”  Do you see how you neglect to see sin in your life by justifying things.

Bring your anger and judgment to Me and see what I want to show you.

You knew it was not justified because of how it upset your body and soul.

Be aware that anger will lead to hate – and, when angry, you do not separate the sinner and the sin – you are just angry and judgmental and more angry.

Do not let the evil one counsel you on justified anger.  Do you not think that is what he used to defy Me in Heaven?  He felt justified in fighting back against Me and the Heavenly Hosts.  So don’t you think he will use every occasion to convince you that you are acting ‘justly’.  What he won’t tell you is that ‘justice’ is Mine says the Lord.

So heed the words of the priest who counseled you to listen and not feel you have to respond which only adds more fuel to the fire.

Now some may not see this reaction to a situation as sinful, but you allowed Me to point this out to you showing you that it was not healthy for your soul and thus was a sin against the peace and harmony and love that your soul is supposed to bring to your very being.

Thank Me for the priest.  Thank Me for his words of encouragement to you.  Thank Me that he so willingly said ‘yes’ when you asked him to hear your confession.  Thank Me for this day that brought you to ask Me what you needed to confess.  I want you to see sin as I see sin.  Not as disobedience to Me, but rather as destructive to you.  I want your soul well, so never hesitate to ask Me to show you your sin.

I want you humble enough to admit that using the word ‘justify’ can be very false and lead you on a long path away from Me.

As you try to justify your anger, it leads to gossip!   And aren’t we all hungry for just a snippet of gossip which proves ‘the other’ wrong and ‘you’ right.

Do you ever gossip about the bad things that you do?  That would not feed your need to feel justified.  Better, says you, to find the speck in the other person’s eye and really go on about that. 

Do not call on Me to help if you have no intention of seeking My Help.

You know exactly what I am revealing to you.  You started with a seemingly nice prayer, then fell into judgment, gossip, anger, etc.

So did you pretend to call on Me as if to make it an ok topic to chat about?  Like, if I pray beforehand anything else that follows the prayer won’t be bad.  Ha.  Talk about justifying yourself!

Now you see it and thank Me heaps and bunches that your soul realizes your calumny.

Do not involve Me if you do not plan to be obedient to Me about your will on this topic or any topic that needs My Loving Attention.

Ask Me to defuse the anger first and foremost.  Because when we talk out of anger we do not talk of love and with love.

Thank you for accepting My Prompting and accepting the fact that I will justify, and not you!

See the blessings and graces that have already poured forth from this Confession.  What a great Sacrament. Please keep close to it.

God Bless.  This gift of grace from this Sacrament is all part of My Enormous Love for you.

I ask each of you who read this, to ask Me what sin(s) I want to reveal to you that need healing, then take  them gently to confession and receive huge graces to help your soul avoid the occasions of sin. 

I AM YOUR CENTER

#186  Sept. 26, 2013  11:30pm,  at home

I want to share quietness with My People. Hear Me speak to your soul. I only speak when you disconnect yourself from all around and seek counsel in My Sacred Heart.

When you are frantically seeking the answer to a problem you do not have the time or inclination to come aside and listen to My Words.  You may not ‘hear’ My Voice but you will find a solution to your problems.  Trust Me even if the solution is: “don’t seek a solution” --- just Trust in Me.

Our franticness always leads us away from our God Center.

So when you are feeling frantic, immediately know what the answer is.  It is not “what is making me frantic?”, it is more “ooh, I have lost my God Center.”

One you may not be able to solve, yet the latter you can by ‘seeking your God Center’, coming into My Sacred Heart and not ‘hiding there’ but ‘abiding there’ where there are no questions, just lots and lots of Love.

Don’t waste time seeking the answer to why you feel frantic.  Better to spend that time climbing into My Sacred Heart.

What are you doing during the day to “pass your time”?

I’m serious.  For some they pass the time reading or watching tv.  How many of you feel it is worthwhile to pass the time in My Presence?

Would you dare spend as much time with Me as you do watching tv?  Most of us would have to give a truthful NO answer.  Yet it is something to think about.  How much time do you allot to Me each day? 

These are not questions meant to disturb you and make you upset with yourself.

These are honest questions from My Sacred Heart to yours inviting you to make more time for Me.

I know this is essential for your eternal well-being.

Note the time you spend in a dither about something.  You noted today Margo that it was not leaving you in a good state of mind or soul.

See, spending time with Me reveals these things to you.  You realize that the negative is not a safe space for your soul and the more time you spend with negative thoughts and emotions, the more unease your soul seems to be in.

We have to realize how all this negative junk affects our souls.  It is spiritual pollution.  We become disconnected; we strive to solve silly problems instead of bringing the person (s) into My Sacred Heart to see the Love I release over the both of you.

Do not let your hearts be troubled, Trust in Me.

You see, I know when your heart is troubled you are not trusting in Me.  That is why I have said these Words to you. 

You heard from the chap who came to chapel today that when the world seems to be overwhelming, he comes seeking the only Truth, God’s Truth, to set his heart/mind back on the right track. 

Now hush your mind and thus let your soul rest.

See you tomorrow.  Trust in Me.  I love you.  

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!
