Keep me patient Lord

Pearls of Wisdom.

The Holy Spirit wants you to know that the Wisdom He will share with you is not of this world.

He does not want Wisdom of the mind as much as Wisdom of the soul.  This is the Wisdom He wishes to impart.  So, for many, you may not seem wise, if they are not soul believers and that is ok.  Leave them to My Loving Care.

Yet share the Wisdom of the Soul with those who are craving for it.  Do not ponder what that Wisdom will be.  Just say yes to being willing to share it with others.

Now mind you do not go around making up the Wisdom of the Holy Spirit.  You will know it when it shines its light into your soul.

And then that does not mean that you have to run out and share it with others.

First and foremost let it fall gently on your soul.   Let it gradually resound in your soul.  When it has made its home in you, then, by your very life, thoughts and actions you will be able to share it with the world.

If it does not become embedded in you, how are you ever going to be able to share it with others.

It is not a balancing act.  Like this Wisdom may topple over unless it becomes first embedded in your heart.

The greatest Wisdom you will need is to be able to let the Wisdom of the Holy Spirit settle in and around you without you feeling frantic or anxious to get out there and share it with others.

If it does not embed itself in you, if it is not allowed the time to embed in you then it is not balanced.  You do not have a firm grasp of it and thus it will not impart itself well on others.

The Wisdom I want to impart on you is one of great patience.  Do not feel that if you do not tell others about it immediately that they will be the worse off for it.

Ask Me, beg Me to first of all “Keep me patient Lord” so the Wisdom that the Holy Spirit wishes to impart on me I will allow to seep into and eventually act on it, for my benefit first.

Not that I want you to benefit from it Margo and not others. But if the Holy Spirit infuses you with Wisdom it is first and foremost for your benefit.  Let the Holy Spirit tell you eventually when you should/can share it with others.

And you may not have to do it verbally.  All Wisdom should seep out from you through your thoughts, words and actions.  So do not ‘preach’ what you are not willing to do or think yourself.

For instance, and this will sound trite but we may say “don’t growl about having to do the dishes”, yet we ourselves do not follow that same advice.  We complain, even to our secret self, when we have to tidy the kitchen – right?

So your Wisdom from the Holy Spirit will show itself in your thoughts and actions.

You know yourself, things, thoughts, have struck you and it was a WOW moment from the Holy Spirit.  Yet did you give it time to move from your head to your heart?

That is where it has to take real life.

That is where it has to gently stew.  So the pondering juices will be able to add flavor to the Wisdom you have been given.

Do not hasten and run out the front door and yell it to one and all.   But first ‘take it to heart’.  Listen to it as it speaks to your soul.  Don’t hesitate to let your soul take it in and sit with it and see how it impacts your life.

Wisdom of the Holy Spirit is of no value to us at all if we don’t get to understand how it is supposed to work in our lives for the betterment of my soul.

Wisdom is not just meant to be a small spark.  It needs time for the spark to develop into a good fire within us.  We have to be on fire for the Lord as some say.

And that does not come until we allow His Words, His Wisdom to permeate our very soul. 

So perhaps instead of praying for Wisdom from the Holy Spirit, we can pray for patience so that when we do receive the beautiful Wisdom of the Holy Spirit we will patiently let it settle in our souls to change us even more into true followers of Christ.

#248  Wed. Mar. 19/14, 9:50am, St.Theresa’s, before the Blessed Sacrament

I  have asked you to put down the reading and pick up pen and paper.

I want you to see My Hand on your hand this day.

Celebrate with Me the coming and going of people in your life.

Do not stray far from My Sacred Heart.

Transpose yourself into My Sacred Heart.

Be with Me in all your thoughts, words and actions this day.

Let Me direct your pen.  Listen for My Words.

What are you hearing from Me today?

What do you want to achieve today?

Can you do it with or without Me?

Ponder My Love.  Can you imagine ALL the people whom I have loved from the beginning of time?

How can you ponder My Love?  Ask Me for the Grace to be able to sit with you and ponder My Love.

You do not have to turn away from things as much as turn to Me.

Put aside seeking things, and seek Me.

Do you need new shoes more than you need Me?

Don’t you hate when I throw in this kind of question?  Then it seems that you have to drop one and seek the other.

But how do we evaluate our lives if we do not see the difference from needing something material and needing Me to lead you to eternal life.

I know you have to clothe yourself.  However, do you put the same effort into clothing yourself with My Love as you do in searching for new shoes?

Again it is just a question to help you ponder My Love.

I love you when you go searching for new shoes as much as I love you when you sit with Me before the Blessed Sacrament.

How can I love both equally?

You see My Love is not limited by what you are doing or where you are.  My Love is Unlimited.

I Love you when you are doing the worst thing and the best thing.

I Love you when you are a sinner and/or a saint.

My Love for you does not depend on your attitude or actions.

However My Love for you really depends on whether you want to receive it or not.  What I mean to say, so that I Love you no matter what you are doing, saying, thinking, yet you will not know, feel, and thrive on this Love of Mine if your heart does not open and take it in. 

So for you, you may think “Sometimes, I feel His Love and other times I don’t.”

But you can’t depend on your feelings to know that I Love you.

You have to be ready and willing to allow Me to open your heart so you can live in My Love.  It is not about how you feel, it is about what your heart knows to be True.

Our emotions are not a solid anchor or foundation.  They can toss us ALL all around.

We have to get to the heart of the matter.

You are “matter” with an infused heart (soul) that needs to be your anchor and strong foundation.

Ponder My Love when you are angry.

There is not much room there for pondering it there with all our emotions on High Alert.

When we get angry it is almost like we are under hypnosis.  So how about using a word that will break the hypnosis?

Like when one is hypnotized there is something that breaks them out of the hypnotic state back to reality.

Maybe it could be words like ‘puss ‘n boots’.  It does sound crazy eh, but something that in the middle of your anger you will remember to say to yourself or even out loud several times that will break the spell of anger.

Maybe, “thank you Jesus”, “Jesus loves me.”

Ask the Lord to give you a special phrase that you can use to break the spell that anger puts on you.

Now using the word ‘spell’ will make some think I am doing hocus-pocus stuff.

But think hard.  Anger puts a spell on you – it shuts down your loving heart, it turns off compassion, it destroys love, it causes your thought processes to think entirely differently than when you aren’t angry.

So you can, with My Help, snap yourself out of anger before it takes you over completely and changes you entirely.  Think of the things you think of and would love to do when you are angry.

Are they “I think I will make a piece of toast”.  NO.  They are more like “I think I will bift that toaster across the room.”

Sound familiar?   This is something you would not think to do when you are not angry.

So you see ‘the spell’ anger puts on you.  It is not healthy because we act against our true nature.

Thus, so you won’t let anger take you to unhealthy places, plan to have a word or phrase that when you say it, you will smile and realize that that is your reminder to return to safe ground, return to a more ‘grounded in the Lord’ healthy you.

It does not have to be a religious phrase.  Yet also not a foul phrase either.

See what you and I together can come up with. 

Now you see this is part of pondering My Love.  I want to help you in all sorts of ways to live to your fullest holy potential with as little harm inflicted on you by you.

My Love wants to release you from prolonged anger.  Sure each one of us is going to get angry, but what fuel do you then pour over this fire of anger to keep it going.  It is no fuel that I supply.

But I will help you with a phrase that will extinguish the fire of anger and bring you back to a more loving, forgiving you.

So just take a few minutes and sit with Me and ask Me to help you extinguish your fiery anger with a word or 2 that will be a secret just between you and Me.  We both will smile when you say it because we both will know that it is part of you pondering My Love, My Loving Hand on your life.

Please thank the souls in purgatory and your God.  Then go in the Peace that only My Love can provide.

My Love flows over everyone!
