Sludge

#232  Friday, Jan. 31/14, 10:50am, St Theresa’s, before Blessed Sacrament

The last day of January.  For some of you it will be the first day that you have the courage to announce Me to your heart.

But fear not, it is never too late to let your heart know who the One is who loves them so much. 

We cannot give out love as we should if we do not know how much we are Loved.

Our human hearts are limited and thus we think we are loving but unless we choose to dip into the well of Unlimited Love, our love will remain very limited.

Our love must come from knowing that we are Loved --- unconditionally, forever, no matter what.

You see when we don’t use this Source of Love to nourish and increase our own, we can run out of love.

Now that sounds different.  Yet what is hopelessness? What is distrust? What is sin?

We absolutely, positively, truthfully cannot love as we want to, and should, if we do not go to the Source of Love.

Sure we can pray to God, ask Him for favors, etc. yet do we understand, grasp that He is the Source of Love.

So come to Me all of you, heavy burdened or not, and learn from Me how to truly love.

Do not wait till you are heavy burdened.  Come aside now and dip into the Source of All Love.

Yes you can try to love on your own but it is such a futile task to undertake when there is a great Source you can make use of.

It is like skiing on old skis.  Well they still work, you have used them for years, yet they are wearing out. The bindings and boots have seen their fair amount of wear and tear.

If you are serious about skiing would you not go to a good source of new fresh ski equipment, or are you satisfied to continue on worn ones?

That is like our love.  We can continue to try to love well, but may feel we are running out of the energy to do so.

Wouldn’t it make perfect, good sense then to daily seek out the Source of Love and be delighted to top up your love --- at no cost.

This Love supply does not go up and down due to economy.  It is more than constant and available at no cost to us!!

Who doesn’t want to get something for free?   You don’t even have to buy a lottery ticket.

However you do have to recognize and invite your heart to visit with My Heart --- the source of ALL Love and ask for a daily fill-up, recharge.

This small effort on your part does many things for you.

It takes you out of relying totally on your limited supply of love, and it fills you with joy of knowing that there is always an abundant Source of Love from which to gather.

It releases  you from having to try on your own to love and love and love some more.

How many times have you thrown up your arms and said “I can’t take it anymore.” Or “Enough of this foolishness.”  Or  “I have run out of love.”   “I am exhausted trying to love.”

We get exhausted loving because we are trying to love using our limited resources.

When you are fed up, really upset, ready to give up, then turn to Me.  I am your Source of Love and renewed energy for life.

But I urge you before you get really fed up  ---  what I mean is please do not wait till you get really fed up before tapping into My Source of Love.

Don’t let your tank run dry before you come seeking More Love.

Take note of your heart daily and do not hesitate to ‘top it up’ with My Love that moves mountains, heals broken hearts, calms the waters, sees your needs.

Do you see the power in My Love compared to the power of your love?

My Love does not struggle to love.  Does yours?

My Love judges with Mercy.  Does yours?

My Love does not get turned off by others’ misbehaviors.  Does yours?

My Love never falters.  Does yours?

Do you see the benefits of using My Love to fill your life, to fill your heart?

Who does not want to love perfectly?  We all do.

Come learn from Me. 

What a marvelous invitation I throw out to each one of you.

You have asked Me for a new heart each day.  I have given it to you.

Now you can ask Me to fill up that new heart each day with My Love.  You see by doing this we do not carry over the hurt love from yesterday.

Makes sense, eh?

Ask for a new heart daily.

Ask Me to fill this new heart daily with My Supreme Love --  not ‘regular’ love but Supreme Love.

Can you see by doing this how your new heart never has a chance to build up sludge and dirt and grime and all sorts of stuff that causes a heart to function poorly, that causes a heart to be less and less loving each day. 

Start out each new holy day with a new heart filled daily with My Abounding Love.

What a great healthy way to live.

And if any of the old hurt love from yesterday and many yesterdays seeks to get in, just tell it that it can’t.

W      This is a new holy day, so it does not hold the mess from yesterday.

W      It is a new heart, not made to handle the hurts of yesterday.

W      This is a new love fill-up, so no sludge allowed.

If you have asked Me for these, I have given them to you.

So, if anything from yesterday creeps in, it does not come from Me.

So be  prepared that when you acknowledge that this is a new holy day and ask Me for a new heart and to fill up that new heart with My Love, your attitude will indicate to Me how much you really want

--- a new holy day

--- a new heart for this new holy day

--- the fill-up of only My Love.

We may not want to hear that, but it is so true.  It is not Me that will add sludge to your new heart.

Perhaps we can add as our request to Me not only the new holy day, new heart, Love fuel, but the Grace to avoid adding our sludge to My Pristine Love.

I will leave you with that to ponder and pray on.  Never hesitate to ask Me for the Grace to leave yesterday where it was – in My Loving Hands, and to give Me tomorrow too.

If we lived in the present there would be very little sludge build up!

Go in Peace.  Let My Enormous Love fall all around you!
