"A New Manger Scene!"

#216  Wed. Dec. 18/13,  at home, 1:45

You have just re-read some chapters of the book Margo and are most grateful for the reminders they bring – like content/discontent.

I want My People Joyful. Are they struggling with some pain?  Then  bring it to Me.  I do not speak of Joyful as being pain-free.  But rather a commitment of the heart to know that I am with you in the midst of All.

We often think of joyful as being happy, laughing, without a care in the world.  But that is a human definition of joyful.

I want you to know that My Meaning of Joyful is quite different.

Take the shepherds when they heard and saw the heavenly choir and then beheld the babe Jesus.  How did their lives change?  They no doubt still went back to shepherding.  So, were the sheep always obedient from that time onward?  Did the prowling animals never give them anymore problems?  Was the ground softer on which they sat and slept? Did they inherit a great new wardrobe?  I don’t think so.

So what did change in their lives that would make them Joyful in this harsh life style?

They met God. And knew that they met God.  And accepted that it was not their livelihood that was changed but their hearts were changed.

Can you imagine their conversations from then on? 

Can you imagine how they saw Creation around them from then on?

Can you imagine how their hearts were changed from then on? 

I did not promise them that all circumstances in their lives from then onward would be great, grand and wonderful.  I did not have to.  Because once you have come in contact with God all else is part of life’s journey till you come face to face with the Creator.

Don’t be blinded by the evil one who will not hesitate to remind you that he thought for sure that God promised you peace and joy.  So, why are tough things happening to you?  Maybe God’s promises aren’t as True as He says they are???

The Joy comes from knowing Me, from aching to serve Me, from loving and being willing to forgive and forgive again.

That is the Joy, I, God have promised you.  When you know, love and serve Me there is nothing that can take this Joy from your heart.

This Joy is permanent and constant.  However, we may not be permanent and constant in knowing, loving and serving God each day and thus the Joy He wants us to have we can erase quite easily as we focus on ourselves and less on God.

You cannot create the Joy I have in mind for you.  You can accept it and willingly invite it to live with you, but you cannot create it.

You can think you have created a joyful situation, but see how long it lasts, how fleeting it is.

We are coming back to content and discontent aren’t we.  We all want to be content which has a joyful ring to it.  So when you feel discontent, then for some there is no joy.  See how ALL these Words of Mine are connected one to the other. 

If you are content that My Will is being done even if it does not match yours, you will be Joy-filled. 

It is not a jumping up and down, crazy over the moon kind of joy but a Joy that I instill in  a heart that I know is looking to serve Me with contentment.

It is a soul Joy, a soul contentment.  It is like your soul is founded on a rock that is solid and though it gets battered by wind and rain it stays secure, secure in its Creator.

That is the Joy I want for you this Christmas.

The Joy of knowing you can be in My Presence.

The Joy of knowing I am always in your presence.

The Joy of knowing you can never lose My Love.

The joy of knowing that all else can fade away but our Love for each other will not.

The Joy of knowing that each breath is Me breathing in you.

The Joy of knowing that no circumstance falls outside My Love and Care.

The Joy of knowing you are forgiven.

The Joy of knowing that I give you unlimited chances to return or turn to Me for sustenance and guidance.

The Joy of knowing that I AM TRUTH.

The Joy of knowing how much I Love and Forgive each member of your family – including you.

The Joy of knowing that believing is a great Grace and Gift from Me.

My Gift of Joy for you this Christmas is not limited to just these.  I want you to see with your soul, feel with your soul ALL the Joy I will bring into your life this Christmas.

Don’t look for it.  Don’t look for the human gaiety, yet know also that that is Joy from Me to you!

See all the joy as coming from Me --- that is the trueness that your soul has to acknowledge – that ALL that comes from Me has My Heart and Hand on it and thus it is JOY.

God Bless each of you.  The big and small, the lame, the sighted, the loner, the abandoned, the rich, the not so rich, the gambler, the horse rider, the astronaut, the gourmet cook, the tumbler, the acrobat, the child, the adult, the senior, the actor, the choir member, the artist, the talented, the crusader, the bottle maker, the hunter.

What title would you call yourself?  Then add it to the list above and know that you are being mightily Blessed by Me this Christmas.

I love each of you.  Instead of you holding Me as a babe in your arms this Christmas, see yourself in the manger being held by Me.  I have come to you this Christmas, will you then come to Me?

Can you envision Me adoring you in the manger this Christmas?  I am there adoring My Father’s Creation!

What a new manger scene that presents!  WOW!

Will you make yourself that humble this Christmas and let Me adore you?

This is almost too much Joy for the heart to take in, eh?

"Mary's Gift"

#215  Thursday, Dec. 12/13, 9:45am, our Lady of Guadalupe, St. Theresa’s before the Blessed Sacrament.

O sweet Lady.  How gracious you have been to Me and to those to whom God has given Me.  You are constantly on watch.  Nothing falls outside of your caring gaze.  You endeavor to reach out to souls that need a Motherly touch.

Your kindness to them relieves their concern.

They may not even know of you, but you care for them all the same because you want them with Me in paradise.

Your gaze is one of Love --- at first it may seem like you are sorrowful, but the dominant emotion you express is Love.

Mankind’s behaviour may cause your heart sorrow, yet you will not let that distract you from loving each person over whom I have charge.

Splendid is your Name.  Your many titles honor you and bring those who honor you, under these titles, even closer to Me.

She wants to be the transit system that brings souls to her Dear Son.

She never lets a soul stop and abide long with her.  Otherwise she knows she is taking on the role meant for Her Son.

Her hand and heart constantly reach out to bring each person to the footstool of Her Son – where they can sit or kneel as they wish, so they grow closer and closer to Her Son.

She knows The Way.  She wants to show you The Way.  She is not The Way, but knows The Way intimately.

Let her lead you.  Let her console your heart with the message that Her Son is the ultimate Lover and Forgiver.

She wants you to know this so she never hesitates to take on the role of Mothering you towards Her Son.

Put out your hand and take hers.  It is delicate yet strong, it knows the way and aches to lead you on the right way.

Her eagerness to serve is driven by Love, so she does not come to you harshly or abruptly – maybe by surprise, yes – but she wants to “appear” to you so you will not feel that there is no one to lead you to Me.

Welcome My Mother into your heart each day.  As you welcome the new holy day, also welcome Mary as your Mother into your heart and give her permission to lead you closer and closer to Me.

Be still and  know that I am God.  As Mary affirmed Me, may you also this Christmas affirm and reaffirm Mary as My Mother and your Mother.

Beg her to share her trust, faith and love with you.

What a great gift she brings --  her Son who is Trust, Faith, Love.

What more could you ask for this Christmas?

Rejoice, your Saviour will be born new or anew in your heart.

Cry Alleluia, you know the Saviour and He has known you for ever.

Spread Mary’s gentle peace wherever you go.

Thank you for adoring.       

"I am a Mystery"

#214  Sunday, Dec. 8, 2013, 7:40pm, at home, Feast of Immaculate Conception

My Time never runs out.  I have all the Time in the World in My Hands.

Interesting eh?  When we say we ran out of time, I never run out of Time.

So time spent with Me is incalculable because yours is so limited and Mine is unlimited.

Thus what I have to say and share does not run on clock time.  It is not applicable now, and then, not applicable then.

My Words are for ALL Time.

So often we try to ‘translate’ what I have said and it is not possible to take it out of one era and try to make it fit another.  My Words are Timeless thus what I said thousands of years ago still applies.

So back then when I said Love one another, we decide we can interpret that as loose as we wish. How can you say you believe in Me when you don’t believe in My Words – which are Me??

Take heed not to mould Me according to your will.  What a dangerous trap the devil has set for all My Children.  “Become like God”.  “Make Him to your image and likeness.”

So, we do that by taking My Words and manipulating them to suit our own purpose.

Be very aware.  Make sure you stay close to My Words of Wisdom and ask Me to catch you up if ever you start to explain Me and what I have said in your interpretation.

If you aren’t exactly sure of what I mean, ask Me.  Until I answer, you will be silent and wait for My Response.

I don’t mean that you stop talking, but you avoid trying to expound on this or that, that I have said, seeking to show others you are very wise.

Admit that ALL of Me is a mystery which I have not asked you to solve so much as to seek.  Seek to know Me the Wisdom Giver.  Seek to know Me the Lover of ALL.

You see you will not have time to try to solve Me if you are sincere in seeking Me.

If you think you know Me, then you might think you know ALL the answers about Me.

So, I urge you daily to seek Me to seek to know Me more today than yesterday and be ready to admit you know o so little about Me. 

The marvelous part of this relationship is that I am fathomless.  You will never reach the full knowledge of Me and that should not discourage you but encourage you to seek Me here, there and everywhere.

See Me in ALL.  But don’t stop there. Praise and thank Me for being in ALL.

You become fine-tuned in seeing Me in ALL when your heart wants to sing My Praises more and more.

You see you can seek to know Me only for your benefit.  But when you seek to know Me because of the goodness I bestow on you – I don’t just mean good things – My Goodness encompasses ALL.

Sit quietly with just Me – cast all else aside, put aside your thoughts, your readings and just ask humbly to sit with Me.  Ask Me to enlighten you to this state of mind when words are not needed.

Let us breathe in sync.  Let our hearts beat in rhythm.

Ask Me to bring you to this place of fuller communion with Me.  Keep asking and asking if you must.  You see, if you are not stubborn about seeking this union, I will know that perhaps you do not want the union as much as you want to brag about the union.

Do you dare come aside asking for this oneness and not desire to tell others you ‘made it’ to that level of being with Me?

You must seek it for My Glory not for any benefit on you.  You must seek it not to defy the devil but to love Me more fully.

What are your intentions?

Are they good intentions?

Or are they God intentions?

You see you will not reach your goal if you seek it for your soul’s benefit.

I am greater than your soul.  You must seek this union to honor and glorify your Maker, not to better your soul.  That will come as the result of our intimate encounter but it is not the goal of our encounter.

I know your heart Margo.  You want a closer relationship, yet so much of you still wants it for your own well-being.

Seek first the Kingdom of God.

You see the power and meaning of these Words are as solid and meaningful now as they were back then.

So seek Me.

Do not seek Me to heal you.

Do not seek Me so you can feel enlightened.

Do not seek Me so you can look wise.

Seek Me just for Me.

Even when we seek God we say “God I am seeking you so I can grow closer to you, learn how to love more fully, be more patient and compassionate.

These are worthwhile outcomes of your seeking, but again you have told Me what to do for you. 

Just seek Me.  Beg to sit in My Holy Presence.  Ache to have no distractions.

I want to fulfill your needs.  And I know your needs better than you do. 

So, some aside and sit with Me --- not seeking joy, fulfilled dreams, a new job, good news.  Leave ALL of that up to Me and just be extremely satisfied to sit with Me. 

Night, God Bless.  I love each and everyone unconditionally. Come abide with Me.

"a Miracle"

#213  Wed. Dec. 4/13, 10:05am. St. Theresa’s before the Blessed Sacrament

You have responded to the graces I have given you!  Rejoice at the fact that your once hardened heart has now become so much more open to My Words of Love and Forgiveness.

Do you see how generous I am?  I have instructed you on not holding onto hurt, of not staying angry.  And  then I give you opportunities to practice what I have asked you to do.  And it works doesn’t it.

How else would you know that your heart is changing for the good if I did not supply the opportunities for you to ‘practice’ My Most Sincere Instructions to you.

Jump up (your heart that is) and cry Alleluia – you see the worth of My Teachings.  It is measurable isn’t it?  You are not upset and neither is the other.  The waters have been restored to calmness. 

Cry Alleluia because you are witnessing a miracle.  Yes a miracle.  Because beforehand you would have growled and shared the ‘hurt’ with your hubby and defended your ‘rights’.  Whereas, now there is no right or wrong but Love.

We so get caught up in ‘right’ and ‘wrong’.  And usually we think we are in the ‘right’ and the other is in the ‘wrong’!

Love cannot prevail in such a standoff.

So now you know that you no longer have to seek, or enforce, or decide who is ‘right’ and who is ‘wrong’.

You have to Love above and beyond the smallness of ‘right’ and ‘wrong’.

And what a relieve this is on your heart, on your whole body!  You do not need to struggle and upset your brain cells and body cells as you go forth into the combat of making sure you are ‘right’ (because heaven forbid you could be wrong) and that the other is ‘wrong’. 

So this saves your body and soul for more important work --- serving Me alone.

Not serving the ‘hurt’ you, or the ‘vengeful’ you, or the ‘regretting’ you.

Now you can thank Me for allowing these ‘learning times’ in your life.  Really they are ‘discerning times’ because you can realize now how you would have reacted in the past and compare it to how you are reacting now and you know the latter reaction is the healthier for both body and soul. 

Be most grateful to Me when I allow circumstances to arise in which you can practice all that I have taught you.

It is not an ‘oh darn’ moment.  It is an ‘alleluia’ moment --- one in which you get to serve Me and My Plans for you, rather than you nurturing your ‘hurt’ feelings.

If I did not give you these opportunities, you would not be able to see your progress and thus see that ALL I have been saying in these dictations will come True if you believe in My Words.

Harden not your hearts!

What a great and blessed lesson for you today!

Now don’t get prideful and feel you have done this on your own. 

You know you have not, so give honor and praise to your Instructor, otherwise the evil one will convince you to take ALL the honor for something you could not have done on your own without My Graces

I want to thank you for using the Graces I so abundantly pour over you.  They are free gifts from Me to you so don’t hesitate to use them a lot  and well.

                                                                                                                  

God Bless you.  I, Jesus, love you.  Now you can repeat to yourself “Jesus loves me.” And know that there is no Truth in heaven and on earth that can outweigh that! Go in Peace.

"Wisdom"

#212  Tues. Dec. 3, 2013,  9:55am, St. Theresa’s before the Blessed Sacrament

I  want to write Wisdom for My people.  I call each one of you to come aside.  I want each of you to have a personal relationship with Me.  Do not feel that I call some and not others.  I call ALL. I call each person individually many, many times.

It may seem to you that if I call so many, a lot of people should be here.

Well each time I call you to prayer, do you respond in the positive?  So do not be eager to condemn others for not coming.

But just know that I call each of you personally to come aside and be with Me.

The Wisdom you receive from being in My Presence is subtle yet o so powerful.

You cannot receive it if you are not ready and willing to receive it.

Do not knock the Wisdom others seem to have, but rejoice that you are able to receive and be part of their Wisdom.  You have always asked for Wisdom directly, but you have realized that I will bestow Wisdom on you from different ways, that is, it may not come directly but from another and in all humility I ask you to joyfully accept it in great thanks and praise.

You see we get jealous when another has Wisdom and we don’t seem to have it.

But is not one wise who takes good counsel from another?

Therein lies your Wisdom – to be wise to recognize and act on good counsel.

You never thought of it that way before perhaps, but it is profoundly true.

Thank Me for giving you the Grace to recognize Wisdom no matter from whom it comes.

You know, if it is the good counsel of another that ultimately it has come from Me.

It is just like a sand bag dyke.  Just because you are not the first in line, tossing the first sand bag to the 2^nd person does not mean that your worthiness is for naught.

You stand obediently, you volunteer or even surrender your day or part of it to be part of a line that tosses the sand bag forward to where it is needed.

So the same for Wisdom.  You do not need to be first in line to receive it, yet if you are in line you will receive it and pass it on.

If just one person gets Wisdom (the sand bag) what good would it do him/her if they do not pass it on?

And you will recognize Wisdom.  It sets things right.

Come into My Sacred Heart and sit in My Wisdom.  Notice how closely it is aligned with My Love.  Do not want it so you will appear wise.  But desire it to humbly bring the world to Right --- to Me.

Do not brag that you are wise, rather acknowledge the Creator of Wisdom.

Do you not see that believing and trusting in the Lord takes Wisdom?  Not the proof that some may demand, but the Wisdom to know that you do not ask Me for proof because you have faith, you believe in Me. 

Because the world around asks for proof and thus we become fearful if we can’t prove God and thus people will think we are stupid.

Yet Wisdom frees you from running after people trying to prove My Existence.  It tells you to be calm and settled in the Lord and that is what will shine forth as God to others.

Wisdom can only work in a humble heart.

When you are not humble you are always running ahead with your own ideas, your own plans and not consulting with Me.  If you have surrendered each day to Me, thank Me for the Wisdom that brought you to this decision.

Who wants to give up themselves?  Yet Wisdom reveals to us that to continue to reach out to our God and grow closer and closer to Him we have to give up ourselves.

So, what great Wisdom in surrendering!!!!

"the Prayer Itself"

#211  Monday, Dec. 2/13, 11:15am, St. Theresa’s, before the Blessed Sacrament

So you gave Me to someone today – and you noticed how this young woman was not hesitant to receive My Graces through your prayers.

Then you joined souls with 2 other women and entered My Most Sacred Heart and surrounded the young woman with your love and prayers.

See the strength of praying within My Sacred Heart.  You cannot deny the increased power of prayer that can come from praying in My Sacred Heart.

Now you know your prayers do not have to ask for anything  --  I already know what is needed, yet your prayers are more of praise and thanksgiving for this young woman’s life and for your grace to be able to love her and show compassion for her from within My Sacred Heart.

Never stop bringing souls to My Sacred Heart.  Do you see Me joining your prayer circle?  I am there, delighted to be there, delighted you are there with Me.  Delighted that you realize the power of joining with Me in My Most Sacred Heart.

Cherish each moment that I call you to bring your soul and another’s soul into My Sacred Heart.

This is NOT your idea!  No, this comes as a response on your part to a calling forth from Me.

Just so you know that it was not your idea.  You can do nothing outside of My Grace to allow you to do it.

Thank Me each time I prompt you because then you get to spend more and more time in My Sacred Heart in My Sacred Presence.

How Glorious is My generosity!

You realized this morning Margo that I love unconditionally.

What I mean is that you were thinking of Julius and all his pain and how could he believe I love him and allow the suffering.

But you see My Love has no bounds.  I love unconditionally.  I do not Love you to ease your suffering, because then My Love is limited.

I Love you above, beyond, yet including your suffering.

Because you suffer does not mean I do not love you. 

My Love nourishes your soul as your body suffers.

My Love is part of your suffering.

My Love wants to infuse itself into your suffering.

Stamp My Love on his suffering.  He shares My suffering yet I also want him to share In My Love.

My Love may not free you from suffering, yet it elevates suffering --- it is not all in vain.

My Love does not work harder on those who are suffering.  My Love is universal, yet individual.  It lives with the good and the bad and the indifferent.

Do not let your heart be troubled.  Trust in Me.

I want all of you with Me in paradise.  If it were not so I would have told you.

Bend your knee, bow your head, not in submission but in extreme gratitude that you have found the alpha and omega of Love. You know Me as the only Love that heals, that allows a higher level of suffering, that encourages the distraught, that wipes the tear, that rejoices at the news of a pregnancy, that sits silently in My Presence and is content to do so.

What a great New, Holy day eh?  This day is holy.  This is a holy day. 

Did you see what I have done for you.  Brought you somewhere where you had not planned to go and then blessed you with this young woman.  So it was no longer about your day, your plans, but about Me revealing to you the Grace I have poured over this young woman with breast cancer. 

You were in My Loving Presence.  You were closer to Me than you were 15 seconds earlier.  Do you see how I want to come to you?  Many times, often, all the time if you will let Me.

When you say “I will pray for you” to someone, do you know what you are really saying?

I will stop all of “my doing things” and bring you to the Lord.  Now that you know the soul and soul into My Sacred Heart you just don’t pray for the person, you bring them with all humility and Trust into My Sacred Heart.

You wipe away the ‘you’ prayer and bring them into “the Prayer” itself.

What a leap in our prayer life, eh?

You will pray in the Presence of the Prayer Himself.  Don’t you think the graces are fuller and fuller?

When you went to your knees to pray a thank you for the souls in purgatory it dawned on you – I dawned it on you --- that when you pray for the souls in purgatory, why not do it from within My Sacred Heart.

So bring your soul  and ALL their souls into My Most Sacred Heart.  How refreshing for them.  You now believe that you can bring them into My Presence.  You do not have to pray for them as ‘out there’ in purgatory.  Treat them to My Generous Love!

Now doesn’t that lift your heart to greater gratitude and praise for Me.  It puts a new slant on our prayer life.

Seek first the Kingdom of Heaven!

Translation:  get your prayer life into My Sacred Heart.  Endeavor not to pray on your own, from out there but from within My Most Sacred Heart.  See how our union grows and grows!

Now go and bring other souls into My Sacred Heart so there will be more and more rejoicing in heaven as you realize the power of praying in the presence of the Prayer Himself.

I love you.  You are Mine.  Thanks for dropping by.

Let Me Love You

#210   Saturday Nov. 30, 2013, 7am, at home

Sit quietly. No planning. Let the day unfold under My Guidance.  Leave it All in My Loving Hands.

Greet this New Holy Day with joy.  See no complications, problems, threats, concerns.

See only Me.  Loving you, active in your life.  Get you out of your head, your planning, and plant Me firmly in your soul.

I will not disturb you, upset you, make you afraid, concerned, worried.

When you feel any of these know that I am not causing them.  And you know who is and thus who has become your center.

None of you plans matter.  What I have planned for you matters.

Do you not think I am able to fulfill for you today all that needs to be done?

You have already a long list.  Don’t you think I know it ALL already?

Let you soul feed your mind, not vice versa.

Let your body relax so your soul can be more attentive to My Voice.

Sit with Me now and breathe Me in, breathe Me out.  You can’t have a better exercise for body and soul.

Remember your every cell is aching and anxious to hear from Me and be nourished by Me.

Right now they are feeling anxious, just anxious.  Allow Me to nurture and nourish them so they become whole again.

So, right now breathe Me in and breathe Me out – with none of your plans but complete surrender to Me.

Jesus loves you.  Let Me love you.  

Ask Any Question

#209   Wed. Nov. 27, 2013, 4:10pm, St. theresa’s, before the Blessed Sacrament

I come to bring good news, great tidings!

Come aside and sit with Me and ask Me any question whatsoever.  How big is the universe?  How much does an ant weigh?  Where do I go from here?

Now, I may not answer any of your questions because I believe you do not need the answer. 

I will show you what you do need though – and that is Me.

So come into My Presence asking whatever and then be still and quiet in your heart and wait for an answer.

You may ask “How am I doing?”  And My Answer will be “I love you.”

You may ask “How tall is the tallest mountain?  And I will answer “I love you.”

You see the most critical thing for you to ever know is “I love you.”

All else is limited and will do you for only a little while, then you will grow curious about something else.

However, My Love is limitless – you will never know it all, yet I urge you to seek it daily.

Let your soul seek for the answers it needs and the only answer is “I love you.’  Not how much, or when or often or now?

Always, forever, unconditionally, unlimited, never ever stops, never ever misses a beat, never ever takes it back.

So ask any question you wish, yet know the only answer you need to survive, thrive, grow, be enlightened is “I love you.”
