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!

Spirit and Soul

#246   Tuesday, Mar. 11/14, 11pm, at home

(Lord, would you explain the difference between my spirit and my soul.)

Margo, I am delighted you asked.

From what you have garnered from some reading is:

W      I, God, am a pure spirit

W      I wanted to create humankind in My Image and Likeness.

W      My Image is one of a pure spirit

W      So I created human beings to have a created spirit, so they could have an intellect, free will and be able to communicate with Me

So you have concluded that every human being is a created spirit.

Then you put together from various readings that at conception, I, God, breathe (create) a soul in each individual created human being that holds the spirit of this person because they are a human being. 

So when the body dies, the soul being immortal lives on as the vessel of the individual’s spirituality.

Now let Me try to explain so it will be easy to understand.

I want My People to see the Love I have for them.

I needed someone in My Image and Likeness --- meaning that they needed the spirit of God in them so I could relate to them, so they could hear My Voice, be guided by Me and Love in return.

My original plan was to have the person whom I created help Me to continue creation with Me in the Garden of Eden.

They were made from the dust of the earth yet had My Spiritual nature – otherwise they could not have talked to Me as casually as they did.

Then death jumped in and broke the easy conversations we used to have.

But My Command had been to increase and multiply to fill the World I had Created.

So they were spiritual beings from the start --- communicating with Me, using their intellect to work the land, make decisions.

When conception takes place, a new human person is created.

Yet that human person is going to die, yet I want that person with Me in eternity.

Thus at the moment of conception, as My Part in this act of Creation, I breathe in an immortal soul. A one of a kind soul that will house the spiritual component of My Image  and Likeness.

The body would not need the soul if I did not plan to have that individual spend eternity with Me.

The physical body cannot make it into eternity.  That is not what it was created to do.  It is created to house the Immortal Soul, the very essence of this human being whom I desire to share eternity with Me.

I guess I could just have created a bunch of souls and not worried about the material body, but that is not My Plan for Creation.

Can you imagine all the Mysteries that surround Me?

And yet I do not ask you to solve them as much as to seek Me and ask Me, and listen and be still and don’t interrupt. 

My Spirit I gave you from the beginning of time.  Your soul I breathe into you at conception, so each individual human being, who is made in My Image and Likeness (spirit) can come to know Me and communicate with Me and find True Love and give True Love. 

So you know that I, God, am a pure uncreated spirit.

And I knew if I wanted to have a loving relationship with man and woman, I would have to impart the image of My Spirit into them.

I do not give them My Spirit.

I do not give them your spirit.

Your soul is the treasure house for your spirit.  Your spirit – your image and likeness of Me is as individual as the soul that houses it.

Do not worry if what you are writing will be accepted or not.

Please, I beg of you, you asked Me the question and I am trying to share the Truth with you as simply as I can.

Do not trash My Explanation.

It is very simple:

W      from the beginning of Creation, I created human beings in My Image and Likeness – thus they are spiritual beings in My Creation.

W      I shared My Image with them so they and I could enjoy each others company.

W      My Purpose was so I could have someone in charge of My Creation with whom I could have a relationship with.

W      I just did not want them to live and die on earth. I wanted more for them.  I wanted them to share eternity with Me.  Eternity is part of My Image and Likeness.

W      I delighted in My People.  I delight in My People.

Of course there are things that happen that I do not approve of.  Yet I know that they have the opportunity to turn away from evil and do good.

I want you to know that this is not a futile search for the difference between the spirit and the soul.

One was a gift to all mankind.

The other is an individual gift to each person to house My Original Gift.

If the body did not have a spirit driven soul how could it operate?

When man and woman conceive a baby, they do so only on the material level.  They do not hold the key to eternity for this child.  I do.  And thus I am delighted to instill a spirit driven soul into each person.

Just as I have planned that the organs in your body would be surrounded and protected by ‘the body’, so I have done for My Spirit in you.

The baby’s physical body does not make the individual.  It is My infused soul that makes the individual.  A soul that houses and protects the spirit. 

It is like you have a pile of sand and someone comes along with a blue bucket and takes a scoop and another comes along with a yellow bucket and takes a scoop and so on and so on. 

The sand was My Original gift to all mankind --- my spiritual gift.

The bucket is the soul that comes and scoops up some of that Spirit Image of God.

I created human beings to be spiritual beings able to communicate with Me their Creator, a pure spiritual being. 

Yet when I create another human being through the miracle of conception, I need a special place in which to house this gift of spirituality, so each person has the opportunity to know and Love Me.

So each person gets a one-of-a-kind soul.

Like your skin encases your body, so your soul encases your spirit.

And as the skin dies so does the body and all its organs.

But the soul, being immortal, because it comes from the Immortal One, does not die but brings your spiritual essence before Me.

I hope this helps you to see My Plan for My dearly beloved People.

Mark My Words.  It is very simple when it comes from the Mouth of God.

Now to bed.  Thank your soul for housing, protecting and nourishing your spiritual self.

Excuses?

#245   Fri., March 7/ 14, 4:10 pm, St. Theresa’s chapel, before the Blessed Sacrament

I call you aside to write.  There is much for My People to hear.

Harden not your heart.  Remain faithful when I call.  Do not check the clock but check your heart so it is ready for My Divine Thoughts.

Rest assured of My Love.  Do not hesitate to share My Love with the World around you.

Take heart.  All is not lost.  This and that can fall away but My Love never will.

Do not trust the evil one who wants to make a mockery of My Love any way he can.

Do not trust his lies.  He does not want you saved, rather in deep despair and hopelessness.

Look at Me.  Come to Me.  Do not ever trivialize My Love by making excuses such as “If only I was a better person,”  “ If only I did everything right,”  “If only I knew how to serve God completely.”

You see by these words you let yourself off the hook, or perhaps you place yourself on the hook.  If I acknowledge that Jesus Loves me no matter what, then I cannot deny His Love no matter what excuses I use.

The devil will encourage you to make excuses, for not giving ALL of yourself to God thus enabling you to not take in and acknowledge how much I Love you.

The devil delights in the fact that you will throw up barriers to My Love by saying you are not worthy.

And let Me tell you he is so, so, so anxious for you to believe this.  He does not want you to throw that aside and open your heart to Me NO MATTER WHAT YOU HAVE DONE.

He knows My Forgiveness is Supreme and all including --  that I do NOT look at your faults, but rather delight in this soul that God the Father has Created.

Do not be fooled by saying what a sinner you are, how unworthy you are, because while you almost pretend to lament your sins you are also refusing to turn the other cheek and let Me Kiss your dear face.

You want to hide in your sin instead of opening your heart to My Love.

Perhaps because you don’t mind sinning?

But really, if you are not endeavoring with My Help to open your heart to My Love, you  are allowing yourself to live more in your sin than in My Love.

I would not be saying this if it were not true.

I want you to turn away from your sins and turn to Me.

While some of you like to be haunted by your sin – it is almost like picking at a scab – you are not showing contrition.  True contrition is a Full Turning Back to Me.

I do not care if you sin many times and turn back to Me many times.

What I care about is that if you really are turning back to Me you will sin less and less.

Do not think you can only return to Me once.  False, False.

How many times do we sin in a day?  How many times do you turn to Me to repent?

So for Me it is you turning to repent that is most essential.
