Present Tense

#255   Friday, Apr. 11/14, 4:15pm, St. Theresa’s before the Blessed Sacrament

You heard Me call you to come aside and write My Words.

There is so much to tell My Beloved People.

I love you is the most important message of all.

Not how to be good, follow the rules, be kind, thoughtful, but for you to take in one thing and one thing only --  “I Love you.”

If you really believe this and take it to heart, there are no rules you have to follow.

Because in hearing “I Love you” and believing “I Love you”, your only course of action is to love back and forward.

You can follow rules but not love, you can be kind because it looks good, but you may not be loving.

For instance how can you be kind and loving to one person and not to another? 

Did I ask you to pick and choose on whom you would My Love fall.  Because, note, you cannot love unless you know and believe in My Love.

All else is make-believe for this world only.  The Love I ask you to receive and share is Eternal Love – it transcends this life and thus does not stop at death.

Have you ever said, of someone who has died, “I loved that person so much.”  Do you see that you are using the past tense and thus your love for them was only for this life time.

We who believe God loves us, do not talk in the past tense about our loved ones who have died.

“I love my mother” –  even though she died to this earthly life in 2002.

Do you see what I mean?  Our whole conversation, our words of love will change from past tense to present tense --- present in the Presence of God.

Jesus did not love us.  Jesus Loves us.

So if we are going to live, as people of God, we have to be prepared to speak of our love for others always in the present tense.

We are in God’s presence.  We are surrounded by His Angels, Saints in the present.  Our deceased family members are with us.

If you don’t believe in God then of course you will speak in past tenses because you believe that there is no eternity in which we are living right now.
