Prayerful conversations

What a beautiful day we had.

Even the evening sounds are gentle.

Come aside and abide with Me for awhile.

My burden is light.

Look at My Face.  Do you see the scars of My Crucifixion or the Face of Love --  mind you the face of My Crucifixion is the same.

I could not have endured the suffering if I did not Love you so much.

Each of you, look at My Crucified Face and see My Love.

We see with our human eyes so all we see are the scars and blood and pain and sweat.

But go deeper --- see the Me behind the disfigured face.  Am I hurling insults, seeking revenge, angry?

Do I accuse My tormentors?  Why shouldn’t I?  If I did, then I could not encourage you to do the same. 

It is My Example I ask you to follow.

“But you are God”, you say to Me.

Do you believe that I was fully human?  Then all the emotions that run through every human being ran through Me.

“But you know God”, yes, but so do you and He will ask the same of you as He did of Me --- to do His Will --- to Love and to Love beyond anger and accusing.

The only way to lighten our burden is to Love and Love beyond all that our human emotions dictate we should.   You should be angry, unforgiving, hateful.

But what misery that leaves you in.

What turmoil that leaves you in.  You can’t get out of your own way, which, as you know, is not The Way.

Did you not see that I, Jesus, went aside many times to pray and be in the presence of God the Father?

We forget that I had to build up My relationship through prayerful conversation.

I ask you to also do this.  Have frequent prayerful conversations with God.

Tell Him your needs;  ask Him to lead you and guide you.  Listen for His Words to you.

I wanted My Will to be the same as the Father’s.  So I gave Him My All of Me --- My Life.

So each day, each one of you can give Me your life.

Surrender it all to Me.  Not because I asked, but because you want to.

Relinquish your soul into My Soul.

Ache to know and do My Will.

Bless you all as you come into a new day knowing the great opportunity and invite that God extends to each of you.

Come, seek to serve the Way, the Truth, the Light.

God Bless each of you.  The sleepy ones and those still wide awake.

Bid the morning a very good morning as you step into the new holy day with a new heart strengthened by My Divine Love.  What a great adventure!
