because I just can't

#288   Tues. Aug. 5/14, 10:20am.  St.Theresa’s before the Blessed Sacrament 

 Come aside and know My Love.

Is your heart at ease today?  Is there anything that weighs heavy on your heart?

Let My Love fill your heart so it is as light as a feather.  It is our worldly cares that burden us and make our heart heavy.

Whatever comes into your life --- a butterfly or a battle, put My Love over it first.  See My Love over it first.

When you admire flowers, put My Love over them first.

“Thank You for Creating these flowers, Lord.”

Try not to forget that My Love has put them into being, so thanking Me for them, expresses to Me that you see My Love over them.

Sometimes we battle with ourselves because we forget to put My Love over ALL.

Now that is not the behavior I am calling you to.  Ask Me, right now, to remind you to say thanks which expresses your belief in My Love over all things.

When you are busy chastising yourself, you certainly are not being thankful to Me!

When the butterfly delights you, thank Me and see My Love over it.

When the battle distresses you, thank Me that My Love is over it.

It is further fine tuning.  Not to jump to conclusions or harsh thoughts and judgment, but to jump onto multitudes of thanks for My Love being there.

Look at the delight children have jumping into a room of balls.

It is a scramble as they try to get around, yet their sounds are of delight.

I want you to express your delight to Me each time you jump into Creation.

You will be making lots of noises and sending up many thanks as you put My Love over all.  No, you do not put My Love over all, you recognize that My Love is over all.

If I had to wait for each of you to put My Love over something, some things would never get My Love on them, over them at all.

So, I want you to rest assured that My Love is over ALL.  Nothing escapes the tender touch and nourishment of My Love.

You know you would not put My Love over the person accused in a child porn case.  Your heart does not want this person saved, but rather condemned.

That is why I have told you that My Love covers all because if I left you to decide, you’d most likely be hesitant to cover that person with My Love.  I understand, yet I want you to understand Me and My Ways.

We always tend to see My Love over good situations and are grateful for it.

However, I want you to see and appreciate that My Love is over bad situations too.  I want you to thank Me for Loving unconditionally the person who has done something wrong.

And don’t say “thank you Lord for loving this person because I just can’t.”

So really you aren’t grateful for My Love over this person.  Because if you were, you would be begging Me to help your heart to open to My Love infusion so you could love them too.

You have heard said “Thank God that He loves this person because I can’t.”

How does that translate as something sensible that a Christian would say to their soul? 

“Harden not your heart.”

So God won’t judge, but I will? 

“Judgment is Mine says the Lord!”

God loves first and foremost.  And He calls us to do the same.

“Be perfect as the Father is perfect.”

But we explain that away by saying that God is perfect and I am full of my human weaknesses, so I can’t possibly be perfect.

So does that take me off the hook and thus I do not have to love everyone and everything?

If I don’t, then I am not allowing the Lord to lead me to perfection.

I almost beg Him not to make me perfect, because I really, really want to hate some people and some circumstances.

When you pray to be closer to Me, to seek the perfection I offer, remember that the fullness of this perfection is to love unconditionally.

We do not have to wait to get to heaven before we can start to practice this Love.

Go back to the flowers.  When they fade and die we get disappointed.  Love does not lead to disappointment.  Celebrate the fact that the flower is following its Creation role.  Thank God that nature ebbs and flows.  See His Love over it.

Ask Him to make you as obedient as this flower.  To strengthen you to grow, flourish and die in service to Him.

Now go out into Creation and see My Love over all, and give Me grateful thanks that I have opened your eyes this day to the Love I have for My Creation.

 

Oh yes, remember to bring people to My Sacred Heart through the “soul and soul prayer”.
