Meek and Humble of Heart

#217  Dec. 26, 2013, Thursday, 8:35am, at home

Dear Margo, thank you for coming aside to hear My Words for the World.

I hope you found your Christmas joyful.  Were you thankful for any special blessing that you had not expected that day?  Please note that sometimes I allow adversity to bring you closer to Me.  Whatever happens to anyone, as I have told you, is covered by My Hand,  My Heart.

So some receive adversity and internalize it or try to run from it with no reference to Me.

You were struggling with your anxiety and knew you had to embrace it, thank Me that I am there for you in it.  You brought it to the Cross and bound it to My Cross.

Other times you would have been trying to run from it, but no longer.  I know it is a suffering and yet I have asked you if you are willing to suffer for Me.

I did not tell you what the suffering would be, and it does not matter what it is, the only thing that matters is have you embraced it and lovingly brought it to Me and thanked Me for allowing you to suffer with Me for the World.

You do not have to tell Me what to put your suffering towards --- this is still more suffering when you will offer it to Me without your instructions of where you want it to go.  It is another letting go of you and allowing Me to do the greatest good with your suffering.

But do you see how sacred suffering is?  My Heart would not be Sacred if I had not suffered.

That does not sound right does it because from the moment of My Birth you would think My Heart was Sacred.  And it was, but it does not, cannot be, without suffering.

Now this insight may be deeper than you wish to hear but it is so necessary to share it with you. 

How can your heart be cleansed and made Sacred if there is no suffering.  So I want you to be grateful to Me for this and any suffering I bring into you life so I can better cleanse your heart and make it sacred.

So each time a big or small suffering appears in your life, let your heart leap for joy because if you accept this suffering and embrace it and bring it to Me for Me to use as I see fit, you may not see the consequences of it but I promise you, your heart is better for it!!

And the interesting thing is, is that you can’t pick something and name it as your suffering.  It cannot originate from you.  Like fasting, which you choose to do, is not suffering. It is something you do to honor Me and I graciously accept it.

On the other hand, when something happens outside of your control, then part of the suffering is first of all --- you didn’t want it!, secondly, it is usually more painful than any pain you would inflict on yourself, and you can either be buried under it or you can offer Me thanks and praise for it.

You do realize that this is a radical change in how one receives suffering.

For many of us it is a downer, a let down, a discouragement, a fearful prospect.

So this is really a new approach to suffering that I have been offering you to accept and live by.  It is not easy, I know that, yet it is a marvelous holy challenge to translate your suffering into My Language of Love.

“Jesus meek and humble of heart, make our hearts like unto Thine.”

But you see your heart cannot be meek and humble until you willingly accept My Will in your life.

We don’t think of meek and humble as part of suffering, yet they are.  We imagine them to be that we act holy, with eyes downcast and a prayerful presence on our face.  But it has to be from the heart. 

Meek and humble are only honed through suffering.  You have to abandon all the plans you have to look meek and humble and try to act meek and humble, and allow Me to create a heart in you that is meek and humble.

And note that My Heart fulfilled this only through My Suffering offered in Love to God My Father.

Your heart does not have to be seen by the world as meek and humble, it must be allowed to be plied by My Love, My Example into a heart that is meek and humble in My Eyes Only.

Remember the world’s ways are not My Ways.

So if you seek to be meek and humble, hand over all of you to Me.  Surrender your whole being, body, soul, mind, emotions, plans, desires, fears, unlove to Me to care for and hone as I see fit not as you wish it to be. 

So, where do your fears and anxiety take you?   There are 2 choices.

You can be disappointed, fretful, fearful and try to rid yourself of them  --- remember you were wondering what non-med you could take to quell the anxiety attacks,

OR

You can accept them not as anxiety attacks but as My Heart offering your heart an opportunity to suffer for My Sake.  You can take them as a means of closer union with Me and be grateful that I allow them in your life so you can grow closer to Me.

When they come upon you, welcome them with Joy and invite them to join you at the foot of the Cross.  Know that I offer this suffering to you for your good and My Glory. 

I know they do not feel good --- I agonized in the Garden, I was anxious in the Garden, I accepted God’s Will for Me in the Garden.  Thus you are able to walk with Me in wonder now whereas before all was in darkness.

Now you have experienced the light. 

Now you know the difference between darkness and light – it is not about being anxious (darkness) and not being anxious (light).  It is all about knowing My Relationship to you through all of your life.

Darkness is only dark if you do not know Me and realize I am with you through it ALL.

Light is not the absence of anxiety, it is so much more.  It is knowing I am present with you at ALL times.

So, do you see what is common about darkness and light?  They are no different IF you realize that I am with you in each circumstance.

We call them darkness and light because one makes us feel bad and the other makes us feel good.

Yet it has nothing to do with feelings, it is all about your heart being in My Heart at ALL times.  So what the human experience experiences can never shatter what is the union between our hearts.

It can only be dark if you do not see Me in it and that is a dark abyss.

And it can only be light if you see My Hand in it  --- the fullness of light.

Go in peace.   Thank you for coming aside to listen and be reinforced by My Words in your life.  I never, never tire of reminding you that I want you to know and fulfill My Will for you.

Each one of you, learn from Me – let Me have your heart so I can make it meek and humble of heart according to My Way, My Truth, My Life.

God Bless.  Peace on earth, peace in your heart.  I LOVE you!
